Say you had a $80 million dollar budget. How would you deploy it to have maximum impact on Alzheimer’s? In other words, what would you do if you were in Gates position?

True, but look at the change phones from ten years pre-iphone vs iPhone. http://www.mobilephonehistory.co.uk/lists/by_year.html Huge change. But after Apple nailed the modern smartphone design on the first try, ten yea

The most impressive thing to me is how similar the iPhone X is to the original iPhone (shown side by side in the second picture). Ten years ago, Apple totally nailed the design. Same buttons, same speaker design, same full panel display. E

Take home message? Eliminate sugar, increase saturated fat. This study provides little guidance on question “is total keto good or not”.

Germany's generous subsidy and build out of solar, while solar was still really expensive, was key in driving the cost down which now the whole world benefits from. Huge credit there. But bio fuels are an unmitigated disaster. Electric

Wasn't about $2B spent on the election by each party? If someone knew how to win an election with a $100k ad buy, they sure could have saved a lot of money. $100k is 0.00005 of a $2B budget.

So what fraction of GDP goes to health costs in US vs other countries? And are Americans healthier as a result?

Interesting, although the study looked at the results of a face to face meeting, and your experience is all about getting to a face to face meeting.

Maybe the cousin did some web research on micro projectors, and the ad was served to those he/she was with? Some experiments discussing obscure products should help determine.

The key is how the solar is financed. If the customer's monthly electric expenses are the same as before (or close), many would go for it.

Apple has a lot of experience with people working in offices. You'd think this experience would inform the "pod" design. But they also do high fidelity prototypes, at least for product. Further down thread, someone quoted t

Prototyping one version seems un-Apple. I would have expected them to have prototyped many office layout options, had people work in them for six months each and rate them or otherwise measure quality.

Apple is famous for pixel perfect prototyping, of numerous possible solutions, before choosing. Did they prototype and test various office layouts? If not, why not?

The "cheap to operate" myth has long been debunked by all of the 100% depreciated nuclear plants closing, because, they are not cheap to operate.

The central challenge for new nuclear in the USA can be called the "chump search". You need to find some chumps to put up the billions. The chumps footing the bill tend to be poor utility rate payers who are ignorant of the econom

It is easy to talk software developers into nuclear. In the software world, if you have bugs, you fix them in the next patch, as they are discovered. In the nuclear reactor engineering world, a failure (as the result of a single bug or engi

But why not compare to other carbon free options? A $18B budget buys a lot of solar panels. At the current price of $0.50 per W, you get 36GW. A 1GW reactor has a 80% capacity factor, solar more like 20%, so it is 7.2GW average vs 0.8 GW av

I see the problem, you are misunderstanding the proposal. I suggested using optics for imaging, and fiber to bring in illumination. You'd have a telescope-like camera at the far end. No image transmission through a fiber bundle. You w

You don't need cladding on a simple light pipe. Did they consider non-electronics solutions? Who knows. It may be the sooner they discover where the fuel went, the sooner they need to start spending the $80B to dig it out. So slow is

If a solution does the job, it does the job. In the six years since the meltdowns, they've been building these robots, which up until this year, have all failed. With an electronics-free periscope, they could have saved five years. And
