On page 12 you can see the sub surface temps are even higher, peaking around 7-8 C above normal.

There's also evidence of a temperature asymmetry in the CMB, it's a tiny bit warmer looking in one direction than the other. It's too small a signal to conclude anything from yet, and might be an artifact of the models, but it seems things aren't as uniform as we thought.

This ruling makes no sense to me. I get why it's easier for Amazon to simply destroy the books for sake of scanning and storage, but there's no reason it should be a requirement. Private copies were never a copyright violation, backups are explicitly legal. You never had to destroy your CDs after ripping them to your Nomad.

How can they call it "backwards compatibility" if you have to buy a new version? True backwards compatibility would enable running any game off the discs the players have purchased in the last 20+ years.

I wouldn't mind an easy way to export settings to a single file that could be backed up where and how I want. But why should I need an MS account to do that?

Any evidence of an LLMs identifying a security failure mode that stems from social engineering rather than software?

A larger boundary layer also increases the Magnus effect which generates lift from the ball's back-spin.

What I miss about quick-launch was the ability to put folders in it and have them act like a sub-menu of links. You could just about build your own second start menu.

Dark energy and matter are not explanations. They're the names given to the problems of discrepancies between model and measurements.

"Genie" is just the anglicized form of "djinn", they are the same thing. "Ifrit" is the name for the evil ones.

It does when the workers themselves own the tech.
A carpenter with power tools is going to make a lot more and better chairs with less effort than one without. But to worker in a chair factory it makes no difference how good the tools are.

And you can never have a free market in this case because they only really work with fungible goods. I can't enter the market with my own Taylor Swift concerts to meet demand, only she can produce them. Every artist is their own natural monopoly.

The print ads may not have been effective marketing, but the demo discs that came with the magazines got a few sales out of me.

I don't know why anyone would use the "Type I/II" terminology when "False Positive/Negative" are so much more descriptive.

There's an interesting space for a left-hand PC gaming peripheral. Keyboards are OK, but don't have any analog controls, and your most articulate digit(thumb) does the least while your pinky is heavily burdened. The ones I've seen are just half a keyboard made slightly more ergonomic.

I have used a Stream Controller in my left in combination with a mouse. But it's awkward to hold one handed, and it takes a lot of button remapping if the game even supports simultaneous inputs. There was also Microsoft's "Strategic Commander", a joystick with the form factor of a mouse, that I've always wanted to try out.

Unfortunately I think too many people are attached to WASD for anything new to catch on.
