I wouldn't say "no one":

The endosymbiotic theory for the origin of the nucleus started with Mereschkowsky [13]. He postulated that the nucleus evolved from a prokaryote (mycoplasma), which was engulfed by an amoeboid cell homologous to the eukaryotic cytosol (figure 1a; [15]).

The Mereschkowsky paper they reference is from 1905. In their further discussion of the idea, they reference a number of papers from the 1990s and 2000s, including Was the nucleus the first endosymbiont?, Selective forces for the origin of the eukaryotic nucleus, and A new fusion hypothesis for the origin of Eukarya: better than previous ones, but probably also wrong.

So it has been thought of many times, there just isn't strong enough evidence to convince everybody yet.

I remember hearing years ago that some mutual funds had rules that they could only invest in stocks that paid dividends. Is that still a thing? Putting out such a tiny dividend suggests to me that they might be gaming that system to allow those funds to invest in the stock.

They likely don't care about the results of the lawsuit, or even if there's any valid legal basis for it. The whole strategy is almost certainly to get news stories like this to create awareness of their product. It's a marketing lawsuit.

This is much like all those "rejected Superbowl ad" post companies and organizations put out to get you to watch their ad that was allegedly rejected for airing during the Superbowl. Usually it's quite straightforward that the ad violates standards set by the network for those ads, so they knew going in that it would be rejected, which was the whole point. They may not have even submitted it. (And then there are the alleged Superbowl ads that just ran on some local channel, not the national feed, so they could say there were a Superbowl ad when they really weren't.)

You may be right, but COVID had huge orders to support work-from-home, remote education, and the like. Those would mostly be systems with SSDs or smaller HDDs. The larger HDDs are probably a different segment of the market.

But in general, whether you're talking DRAM or HDDs, there's a long history of prices going up with demand spikes, followed by prices plummeting with a glut of oversupply. The producers know this and try to adjust production to avoid the oversupply, but it's a fundamentally difficult problem given that they're also trying to undercut competitors and steal market share.

My memory is that DOS 3.30 was the one to have. A quick check shows that 3.30 was sufficient for Windows 3.11. It was after that that things like DR-DOS came out and tried to offer some competition, but nothing really came of it (in part due to Microsoft shenanigans with Windows rejecting it). I also remember DR-DOS with transparent compression causing me to lose a hard drive.

No, hate speech is speech that attacks not just an individual, but a whole class of people. Now powerful people may only care in cases involving certain classes of people.

But in general, this is exactly why we've moved away from using certain words as insults. If the word describes a real class of people, then using it as in insult for someone else is implicitly insulting all the people the word actually applies to.

It already starts imbalanced (like 53/47), but more males don't survive to adulthood.

Refunding is also for when what you bought is not what you thought it was. I bought Tabletop Simulator, only to find out it has NO ability to automate. It's solely for play with a live game master. Automating the DM component so I could paly alongside my players was the whole point, and it doesn't do that. So, refund. It's not a bad product, but it's also not useful for me.

it's an off-the-shelf $1,600 Unitree robot dog with a $700 flame thrower attached to its back

For mobile devices (smart phones, smart watches, laptops, and the like), power consumption is a huge factor. The summary doesn't mention it, but I'm guessing that the lack of a backlight gives reason to suspect it will either be the same or better than what's currently used. And considering how many screens get left on all the time, having lower power is important in general.

How are they going to do that if they were broke enough to work for slave wages in the first place?

Not always. As long as there are athletics, there will remain a need for coaches, scouts, and managers. A lot of retired professional athletes even planned for this when they were still in school and took leadership courses and sport psychology -- courses which will help them later whether they actually graduate their university or not. Others end up in broadcasting, or otherwise "go Hollywood" like Carl Weathers, Howie Long, Terry Crews, Bob Uecker, Alex Karras, Merlin Olsen, and even the recently departed OJ before he made himself unpopular. Some become politicians, but that's not that far removed from going Hollywood.

A lot of athletes also parlay their earnings into starting a business or buying into one that already exists, some (John Elway for example) with more success than others. There's not even a need to wait until retirement to enact this plan.

But yes, some do end up in normal day jobs when they retire. I worked an office job with a retired NHL player who, although he barely knew ANYTHING about the line of business we were in, was a very quick study. Within two years, he'd gone from "the new guy" to our best new business producer. It undoubtedly helped that he was a genuinely nice guy that wanted to do his new job well.

I know this doesn't help now, but a little back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that even if you start with a ratio of 80% one gender, it only takes a few generations to achieve a much healthier 60/40 split without particularly trying. Of course this supposes that there are no forces continuing to skew the demographics through deliberate choices, because those actions that made the imbalance can also preserve that imbalance. It's just that if people just give up and take their hands off the controls entirely, things will still sort themselves out in a time scale not too different from how long it took to get in the mess in the first place.
