Apple's market share has always been a small slice of the overall PC market. In a way, they never did "mass market". While the prosumer market may be a small proportion of the overall market, it could be very significant, for

A lot has happened in the science, and space technology sphere since 2013, should be great to mine that in new Futurama episodes.

If you look at two examples, they may have the same "architecture", but on one, more of the architectural blocks are on-chip, and on the other, less. I don't think what is on or off the chip really changes the architecture, t

Right in “About the Author” we are told he is paid by the ABA. Is Scientific American really that obtuse?

Me too. It's probably just my weird taste, but think it still looks pretty cool. I wondered what kind of look "cults" were going for these days on the "modern" web so checked out scientology.org. Way boring compare

I see. Especially if the games were given away free, or at cost of hardware, there shouldn't be any lost revenue for Nintendo as long as they are no longer making games themselves. But you can loose copyright if you don't defend i

Long ago I had been told that you had to be an "official partner" -type relationship with Nintendo in order to be able to market games on their hardware. I assumed that meant there was some kind of hardware key or other secret you

10's of thousands of animals have been tested for a predecessor to human Covid-19 though, for two years now, and nothing has been found, despite looking very hard and in ways that 'should have' found something had it been the

Pretty cool and useful. I wonder why you wouldn't extract the assembly layer for the footprint outlines though, rather than needing to draw things. That way, if you were OK with that look, you're done, and if you wanted something

I don't blame the Lancet for publishing it. They had no way of knowing it was not what it seemed. They should have maybe looked for the conflicts of interest a bit harder, and it is to their credit that they encouraged Daszak to write

I don't think it is the best strategy to build a dangerous pathogen, because we do not have the capability to contain it reliably. We just do not, as has been demonstrated many times. Humans are involved, and mistakes will happen. To i

The Lancet letter came about to imply there was an expert consensus, when there was not yet one. It was driven by the exact people who would know best that a lab origin was plausible, saying loudly that it was not.

They weren't responding to any body of evidence. There was zero at that time, on either side. They were trying to get out in front and head off what they thought was something reasonable people would include in their consideration of o

Not to mention radiation from the ground, which can be significant in some locations.

Ask Michael Shermer. He used to provide an alternative, maybe skeptical viewpoint. Though it was rarely "opposite" they just cancelled him anyway.

Not surprised. I am a SA subscriber, and have been more and more disappointed in it. Very little quality science reporting. What they do spend ink on seems to be more and more like this. Calling E.O. Wilson names is yet another new low.

Since so much of this post examined spoken words, it was dismaying to see such a jumble of miss-transcription. You are left to guess at what was really asked and answered. I could see using a voice-to-text tool as a starting point, but if y

As a datapoint, my county publishes daily hospitalizations by vaccination status. Some vaccinated people are showing up, maybe 15-20%. So less than 90% unvaccinated there. But that is just hospitalization. For more serious outcomes I'd

I wonder if you considered leaving the previous project(s) running while adding new ones? Of course if you realized there was a reason they would never succeed, then terminate, but if you were unsure why they were not succeeding, maybe let

As an often-self-employed solo developer with few marketing skills, what seems to kind of map to 'adding a marketing employee', is getting something working into the hands of a user/customer/client. At that point the pro

I think, in the context of possibly dying of Covid-19, it could be effective though. If the messaging was there that you could greatly reduce your risk by loosing weight, at least the group of people who were both obese and seriously fright

Many urban police departments are seeing a lot of officers quitting, and having problems filling vacancies. They are down hundreds of positions, and this has the effect of reducing police presence for deterrence, and also lower arrest rates

You're right in that when someone creates a VAERS report, every type of post-vaccination medical event is to be included. But you're wrong if you are assuming every event gets reported by the patient, to a doctor who then alway
