Pure guesswork but I presume we see a roughly circular shape because the galaxy in front looks pretty circular, from our point of view.

The four brighter spots probably reveal the shape of the galaxy behind it, to some degree. It looks like you can draw a straight line from bottom-left to top-right. Top-left and bottom-right are not prefectly aligned, but it looks like you can draw a V between them, whose angle is bisected by the straight line we drew previously. So perhaps the furthest galaxy is not perfectly aligned with the nearest one, causing the bright spots to be shifted slightly.

So I think the main issue is that their digital archive is a completely separate part of the website. The fact that they have "Digital Archive" as a differently colored tab, might make you think you're in the archives, but no, by default you land in the catalog. And the catalog is much larger than the archive, so most of the entries in the catalog do not lead to an archive entry.

So go back to the site, click on "Digital Archive" even though you may think you're already in it. In the "Magazine Library", on page 2 (not very well indicated, again), you'll find some Playstation magazines.

Actually...

Way back when: one driver, one conductor. One to do the actual driving, one to assist the passengers.

Cost-cutting: one driver. He can either drive the bus or assist passengers, not both at the same time.

This: two people to assist passengers.

So yeah, unless you take the very narrow view that progress is only through making things cheaper, I would indeed call this progress.

Sega's official Arcade Power Stick for the Genesis / Mega Drive also had turbo buttons.

I distinctly remember using it plus the Master System emulator to make a mockery of some older games...

Do note that this happened to him when he was only six years old. I'm convinced your own love of doing things and going places may have started that young, but was shaped and nurtured over the following years. This man experienced vastly different formative years. It's no surprise that his outlook on life is very different from yours.

No it won't. It is in the company's best interest to preserve the actual value of the product. Right now they have a unique selling point, which they can leverage to increase their sale price. If the bacteria become resistant to this antibiotic as well, then they lose this unique property and they're no more valuable than similar products.

Plus, you know, the drug company can easily set up these in-patient facilities themselves. It's an extra avenue of profits!

I use it too and I noticed a message or two from Youtube when they started this. But like, at most two days later it all went back to normal.

For a brief moment I thought this was because Perseverance was a different mission and this would have been the first time two man-made objects sent to Mars encounter one another. But no, Perseverance is the rover that actually brought Ingenuity to Mars. So yeah, basically it's as surprising as a teenager taking a selfie at home and seeing one of their parents in the background.

Let's just hope IBM doesn't get involved with this technology...

From the Wikipedia article entitled "Zero-knowledge service": "The term "zero-knowledge" was popularized by backup service SpiderOak, which later switched to using the term "no knowledge" to avoid confusion with the computer science concept of zero-knowledge proof."

So the thought this gives me is that we should have a number of different AIs all work out a comprehensive set of policies, and then you have elected human representatives to debate and ultimately choose one of the packages.

No cherry-picking, because that's where human greed is going to come in once more.

I could honestly be okay with this.

There is absolutely no point comparing it to a low-level language. CPython runs in C, so there is always overhead.

I get the impression that it's more like they're selling a 747 assembly kit. Meaning you still need to find the engineers to bolt it all together, not to mention the entire flight crew...

Equally hypothetically, but since being porous seems to imply it uses less material, perhaps this is an unavoidable loss of material during the recycling process? As in, you can only make 99 recycled cathodes out of 100 old ones?

This was an appeal against the previous case, and from what I can tell, seems to have been aimed mostly at the formalities of the decision by the European Commission. In other words, Bayer AG was arguing that the EC was not allowed to take that decision, not that the decision was wrong.

From what I can tell, the argument that other alternatives are more dangerous was made in the original case and was dealt with there. If Bayer AG did not bring that up again in this appeal, then this court had no business ruling on that point (and indeed did not).
