Well, so why not? The title seems misleading. While it may be that the performance is not going to improve by the factor of 40 five more times, there will still be iterations based on different SoC platforms.

"None of these contains an atom of impurity or adulteration" (from the vintage Heinz ad) is quite a bold statement.

Remind me of the recent case where a person (Google tells me that her name is Maria Butina) got busted as a Russian spy after she had a habit of bragging that she was a Russian spy when drunk.

I pay electronically almost everywhere, but I do recognize that cash payments are a basic human right. Going 100% cashless opens doors to all sorts of monopoly/distopia scenarios.

During WW2, there were two opposing camps in Ukrainian forces: Andriy Melnyk ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andriy_Atanasovych_Melnyk ) who wanted to cooperate with Germans, and Stepan Bandera who opposed that (and actu

The problem with the article is that it's balanced between fake propaganda and truth, which makes it unbalanced relatively to pure truth.

Yeah, good example of "post-truth" world. Russia is rich and large and influential enough to influence even BBC. In fact, the ideology that drives the Russian side of the conflict indeed has something to do with nazism, while Ukra

There are no* neo-nazis from the Ukrainian side, it's a Russian propaganda myth. Since WW2, they've been putting a "neo-nazi" label on anyone who thinks that Ukraine shouldn't be a part of Russia. * I mean that ocur

With fully independent powertrains for both alxes (and potentially, for each of four wheels), electric AWD is potentially better that anything that mechanical AWD can offer. I say "potentially" because one can always screw it up w

https://www.euroncap.com/ is the main source, but YouTube searches also occasionally yield some interesting non-European videos (small overlap and other kind of tests that are not routinely conducted by EuroNCAP).

I have a Pixel 2 XL, and I like its width, but its length is totally pointless. I don't get why they don't make phones with less enongated aspect ratio. 9:16 is ought to be enough for everyone, why would anyone want a vertical scr

The Wikipedia article says: "By the use of older – and thus no longer legally protected – components of traditional car manufacturers this low price compared to other electric cars is possible". Can anyone shed some light on this?

Would be cool to make a demo that would fit on a magazine page in something like a QR code (scannable with a normal phone).

But we would still need batteries to store regenerative braking energy (i.e. it would be a hybrid).

I recently have accidentally learned that my entire family is seriously deficient in vitamin D (even despite it's summer). A big surprise, and one that could have stayed undetected for many more years.

Successful ABX test only proves that no differences can be heard for some particular pieces of music, but not for all possible music material. There are edge cases (especially where noise is involved) that can never compress perfectly witho
