Easy. You want to sell your products and services to ~500 million of the richest people on the planet? Great, then follow our rules. No different to the already extant electrical/food/pharma/toy/vehicle safety rules.

Same size as in same capacity. It looks as if you can order it with 1TB (a single 1TB SSD), 2TB (a single 2TB SSD or two 1TB SSDs), 4TB (two 2TB SSDs or one 4TB SSD), or 8TB (two 4TB SSDs). So using this method might allow upgrades, as long as you end up with two identical SSDs, doubling your original capacity.

Demonstrably, objectively, and completely untrue.

Boot times, application startup, responsiveness during multiple activities - all very much better with NVMe over SATA SSDs.
The bandwidth absolutely helps especially for large files, but the response time is several times faster, and the CPU needs to do a lot less - no pretending to think about heads, sectors and all the other legacy nonsense that NVMe removes the need for. It all helps.

Which proves the point perfectly. 1004 people killed by police in the USA just in 2019. The one example you hold up to show the UK having the same problem is ann isolated death from 15 years ago, very soon after a very large terrorist set of attacks, and the inquiry into it lasted three years.

The UK armed police have to account in huge detail every time they draw, point and use their weapons. In-depth analysis of every shot fired, and off duty until the inquiry is completed and they're cleared for armed duty again.

That doesn't mean what it's saying is wrong, the kettle looks very black indeed - similar in this case to how black the pot is. Both need a good scrub.

It's only Teams they're talking about, and only in Italy.

The summary's trying very hard to go for bingo too... on top of "graphene".

"matrix", "nanostruture", "metamaterial", "flexible tunability", "self-cleaning", even "3D"

I think I need a shower now, just for typing all those.

'Decade' is ten years, and this decade is the teens, next decade (2020-2029 inclusive) is the twenties. No-one will refer to 2021-2030 as anything. You're technically right there was no year zero, but neither was there a year 1 either. No-one called it "Year 1" in any language at the time.

I can spell, but I can't type with perfect accuracy on the tiny pictures of keyboards phones display, especially when I'm in the middle of doing other things at the same time - so the autocorrect stuff really helps. Without the autocorrect stuff, typing on the phone would be less convenient, slower and require much more focus than now. It wouldn't be any different if I couldn't spell, really. Feel free to switch it off if you don't like it.

Also, this only affects third party keyboards, and once the swipe-to-type was brought to the default Apple keyboard, the few people I knew who used the 3rd-party ones went back to the Apple default one.

As I said, eyesight is one thing that can certainly be improved by using multiple cameras. My point was that if you add that in to the other sensors and controls the self-driving car will have that are are either unavailable to or simply faster than human drivers, the advantages start to really add up.

But human eyes, even with the astonishingly masmart processing the human brain can do, are demonstrably NOT good enough - how the hell can 1.25 million deaths a year be considered "good enough"? What about when it's dark? Foggy? Blowing snow? Glaring low sun?

Sometimes LIDAR is going to be better, sometimes optical is going to be better. Having both (and maybe other detectors too, infrared for instance) give the possibility of being much better in most situations, if not all. Add in detectors such as skid detectors on wheels too. Then when all those imnputs are combined with vastly superior reaction times, control of power and braking to all four wheel individually, and so on and so on - you inevitably will have safer driving.

It is arguable that self-driving cars are not yet better than human drivers (we'll see as they start to do a significant number of miles on actual roads in actual traffic), However sooner or later the trial-and-error improvements in the algorithms, combined with multiple detectors and hardware able to process those inputs ever faster, and it is not arguable that simple visible-band imaging is good enough. We may or may not already be there, but we will be very soon.

Yes. Someone here has translated 800 (million) GBP into 1,030 (million) USD. Same was when round metric numbers get translated into weird-looking precise imperial equivalents. To put it correctly, "£800 million (just over a billion dollars)".

FWIW, here in the UK, billion is now completely understood the American way, 10^9. I've never heard milliard used outside of a general knowledge quiz, and the old 10^12 meaning of billion stopped being used here at least 35-40 years ago.

Not too amazing, really - I read it as they don't do anything unless the PC's plugged in (so maybe it charges slightly slower, I'll grant you that), and they run everything at low priority so it won't impact on anything the user is doing. Sensible really, along with doing as much as possible before the reboot phase which obviously does impact what the user can do with the PC. Those boys get a lot wrong, but no harm in credit where it's due.

The headline is completely wrong. They can predict the NAO with much more accuracy, and as that has such a big effect on the winter weather in the UK, that lets them say (with only 62% accuracy) whether it'll be mild winter or a cold one. That's all. They can NOT, of course, predict the weather anything like that in advance. They didn't claim to, either - lazy new editors and "journalists" have mangled it into the bullshit we read here.
