I'd love to try an experiment by populating as many websites as possible with the information "Ronald Reagan was the 38th president of the United States" to see if there is a threshold where enough unrelated sources can confuse these data vacuums.
(To save some of you a Google search, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr was the 38th president of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977.)
I don't know about the rest of you, but to me it looks like the sleeve of a knitted sweater with the cuff sewn shut. I guess the slit down the middle adds some functionality that would take a few minutes to add.
Agreed. The Seattle Museum of Flight has one of Mort Taylor's Aerocar IIIs on display. This flying car was certified by the predecessor of the FAA in 1956 as airworthy and certified for production, although he never found a manufacturer ready to mass produce them.
I love projects like this. Preserving and digitizing audio recordings and films from the early 20th century that will otherwise be lost.
One example recording I found was a version of Over the rainbow by the Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded July 1939, one month before the debut of the Wizard of Oz movie that cemented that song in American popular culture. Over the Rainbow
The list of digital items that the WTO covers can include many electronic items. The summary mentions e-books and video games, but other folks have mentioned other electronic items that might also be subject to custom duties.
e-books
video games
music
digital data
electronic blueprints
3D printer STL files
How-To guides
Things get murkier if you start to include other downloaded software
Office 365?
Music subscriptions?
Adobe suite?
Software development kits?
AI subscription services?
Red Hat Linux?
If the product is just bits and bytes, should custom duties apply? https://www.iisd.org/articles/...
How do you not cook the center of the cube when we're already throwing 70W into a single chip the size of your fingernail? Maybe central heat pipes that each layer hooks up to, running vertically through the die? And how much area per layer do you lose to that, at what increased manufacturing complexity (read: cost and reduction in yields)?
They partially answered that in the elpais article:
To demonstrate the viability of their design, the team made 600 copies of the chip, all with similar performance. The researchers used these stacked chips to implement basic operations, achieving performance comparable to traditional non-stacked chips but with significantly lower power consumption: just 0.47 microwatts, compared to the typical 210 microwatts of state-of-the-art devices.
That's a 400:1 power reduction by stacking the chips. Part of it makes sense. If you have 10 items about the size of poker chips, stacking them vertically means much shorter interconnects than if you arrange them flat and have connections horizontally between them. Waiting for a signal to propagate over traces three poker chips wide requires more voltage or current compared to the distance vertically. There are also possibly less capacitive interactions without the longer, parallel traces.
I don't know if that does the same thing or not. When I edit a bookmark I see the option to add a "keyword" that they suggest is to Use a single keyword to open bookmarks directly from the address bar
But, the Search Shortcuts section also says Choose the alternative search engines that appear below the address bar and search bar when you start to enter a keyword
Because I don't use keywords, I'm not sure of the relationship between Search from the address bar and Keywords entered in the address bar. (Mark me as confused)
If I were a realtor, I would have a virtual tour of the house showing the empty rooms. Then, if the customer wanted, I could also show the space with AI augmented furniture showing two or three decoration ideas. That nook under the stairs? Show it as a storage area, a study area, a small pantry, a pet station, a home automation rack, etc. The master bathroom? Show it with modern, classic, retro, painted, wallpaper, window treatments, etc. Same with other rooms that might be in the house: den, dinette, dining room, formal living room, game room. A good AI could show suggested settings for multiple locations in the house.
Many new buyers will mentally place their existing furniture in the home but struggle to think what to do with the extra space. One of the biggest selling points for realtors is getting the customer to start imagining themselves in that house.
The drop from 28% to 23% is only in the past year. If you look at the data in TFA you will see over the past 5 years, the drop has been from 77% down to 23%, a much larger difference.
The graph shows a downward trend over the last 6-1/2 years, down from 83%. I don't know why the summary only focused on the last year when the difference makes it seem like the trend is minimal. Look at the graph yourself to see the steady decline in payments.
There is already a checkbox to enable/disable web searches in the address bar:

Remove the check from "Show Search Suggestions"
You can also select/disable suggestions from your browsing history, bookmarks, open tabs, shortcuts, etc. right below that.
My guess is the first mitigation attempt should be releasing sterile male mosquitoes of those species they find.
Releasing sterile male mosquitoes is a method called the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which involves releasing large numbers of male mosquitoes that have been sterilized by radiation. These sterile males then mate with wild female mosquitoes, but their eggs do not hatch, which suppresses the population over time. This technique is effective for mosquito control because it disrupts the natural reproductive cycle, reduces disease transmission, and is a species-specific method that doesn't harm other insects. If there are only a small number of wild mosquitoes around the coasts, this might reduce the numbers below that needed for a sustainable population.
I guess they will have to go with Office 2024 LTSC or go non-Microsoft. Even that will go unsupported in 2029.
Going with a locally installed Office suite that has four years of support matches the refresh cycle many companies have for computers. At some point Microsoft will introduce a Office 2028 LTSC with another four year cycle and enterprise customers will start installing that on their newly imaged computers. There will always be a market for locally installed Office with in-house data storage customers.
Sometimes words matter. If Germany has a law that says "Fiber Optic Internet" means fiber to the house, then 1&1 must follow that law. I'm sure they had multiple warnings before the ruling.
There are similar laws worldwide to protect customer's expectations. Butter and cheese must contain dairy or you must use a different name. In some countries Champagne must come from the Champagne region of France or it must be sold as sparkling wine. Ice Cream must contain a certain percentage of cream or it must be marketed as Ice Milk or Ice Cream substitute. Recently there was a story that to call something a "hamburger" it must contain meat, not plant substitute or vat-grown protein.
Buying something called Ice Cream and finding it is frozen yogurt or frozen almond milk is frustrating or dangerous.
This idea has been around for many years. How many remember the "anus fingerprint" that the group at Stanford suggested for their pee and pooh analyzing toilet back in 2020? Smart toilet can read your anus like a fingerprint
Ultrasound treatment has been used for decades to shatter kidney stones so they pass more easily in a process called Shock Wave Lithotripsy. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.or...
Using focused ultrasound through the cranial bone is something I had not heard of before. I imagine precise mapping using ultrasound imaging to map how the ultrasound waves are refracted through the uneven bone structure would be important.
