This is the right decision. Honestly does NOT need editing by the FDA or Pfizer. They should publish it all as-is right now! What do they have to hide? Criminality? Malfeasance? Not a problem if everything was done above-board!

The obvious answers are: Home School. Charter School. Parochial School. Private School. If you truly care about your children, why wouldn't you? If you don't, why complain? Basically a matter of economic substitutes and actually

Spending time in a developing country as a Westerner really can temper the inanity of First World Problems. It's a true blessing.

This is why Ivy League resumes are "Red Flag hires" for us. It's like attending a university that NO ONE has heard of. That bad!

It's BOTH. You can't run a plastic industry without high density energy - fossil is the best for that short of nuclear. Simple matter of Carnot. No way to fake it or break it. Feedstocks also ONLY can come from oil. Not even co

Depending on what your skills are, some industries are conducted entirely in English. Learning Mandarin has major benefits. When I moved to Taiwan, I spent a non-trivial part of my time in Mandarin classes. It absolutely helped with daily l

It's Taiwan. Still the lowest COVID rate and from early on. Still one of the last democracies that aren't corrupted.

Scientific American started its decline in the 1990s. It became a "rag" in the 2000s. It's 100% worthless now.

Lithium recycling DOES NOT exist in practice at the moment. Pilot projects exist but nothing at volume. It's 0% effectively. There is excellent lead battery recycling of lead - >99%.

I guess. I left Silicon Valley but mostly maintained a SV salary. The cost of living where I am is about 10%-20% what it is in SV so it's effectively been a major effective pay boost. I also live on 3 acres in the woods and will be &

Their release schedule is laughable and not real. Cessna was proceeded by 50 years of prior art of almost exactly the same vehicle that electric planes do NOT have.

I lived in Taiwan for a few years. My company was bought by a Taiwanese company so I was still going there regularly until COVID. Of all the overseas places I'd be willing to relocate to, Taiwan is near the top of the list. I'd

Just to be clear - it's akin to asking "How can you live in California with all the earthquakes? Aren't you afraid of California slipping into the Pacific?" Seriously. The martial harangues and belligerence form China

It's nice enough but the Tainan TSMC site (Tainan Science Park) is pretty far from Tainan itself. Not as convenient as Hsinchu IMO. But that's were the latest nodes are.

I wouldn't say this is a "startup stage" scenario - once you have things as well documented as described you have either: 1) a late stage, nearly non-startup, or 2) you aren't really addressing anything innovative - you

The warning is 100% correct. What works in mice only works in humans about 20% of the time and it's even smaller that it works without toxicity or adverse effects in humans even then. So eagerly expecting a human treatment is irrati

This is a key difference. The amount of power required to drive bond pad loads can be substantial and there's a major speed hit because you have to drive the larger capacitance of the load which only can be juiced with more power. Ke

Taiwan has a long history with Japan so "culture" isn't really the biggest problem with setting up a fab in Japan by TSMC. It's probably the last problem.

Exactly. MOST companies are priced out of deep nanometer nodes these days. So they go for these nodes instead because many are still selling 50-100 nm products so there's cheaper room to improve merely to 22-28 nm.

This occurs for the same reason the spike protein "spikes" in the ovaries: the epithelial receptors for ACE2 and in the ovaries and in placentas are also present in the testes. BTW Nicki Manaj was correct about her cousin!
