"such a thing" means any rocket, satellite, anything falling down from orbit. Another one might fall on the US with a 2% probability, even if it doesn't fall on a city, that would set a precedent.

The Earth area is ~510 M km2, USA area is ~10 M km2, or ~2%. My dick is better at math than you.

The probability that such a thing crashes somewhere in the USA is roughly 2%, not so small.

This is not bullshit... the No-track is ON by default! You have to go to Settings / Privacy to set otherwise.

Upgraded to 14.5, and the phone doesn't ask anything about tracking... You have to go to Settings / Privacy to set it. That explains the low 4%, people who read the release notes.

It's rather searching for another Human civilization. Because an Alien civilization, as much as they may be "smart", might not use the same vectors of communication as us.

Earthquake S-waves (the damaging ones) travel at ~4 km / s. The sensors detect the earthquake (from the surface), then, if the tremors are strong enough, trigger alerts on mobile phones, with some short overhead. Meaning if you are within 10 km from the epicenter (projected to the surface), you have, roughly, 0-second to "get to safety".

By applying new standards, there won't be much differences between a warmer climate, as it used to be compared to the climate of 10 years ago, and the new standards. Is it a way to deny global warming?

No. A mere joke.

These emails must come from really far far away.

20%, that's nice, that's still 4 times more expensive than what it should be though.

Not sure about that. The idea is not to break the optimization scheme (based on caching some known data), but rather detect the pattern of an attack. That can be done thanks to added logic running in parallel. That kind of attack is based on a lot of repetitive invalid accesses, rendering only a bit at a time, bit values which accuracy is only within a range of probabilities. This will be detected in the future ; a vector of defense could be to cut the optimization mechanism a very short time, repeatedly and randomly, to render the bits unusable. The limited performance hit (probably less than 5%) would only affect the detected core.

Nice way to mislead the competition...

Coming soon, the new watch with a tiny little needle that does a real time blood test. Then a newer watch with a tiny little needle that does a real time blood test and injects some stuff (medicine, insulin...)
