...but I dare say in all software.
Which raises the question why software offered to the public is not mandated to be Open Sourced, so it _can_ be checked for problems at all.
Maybe this didn't happen by accident?
all of those hardware platforms are compiled from a single source tree.
there is a lot of hardware abstraction to get all platform specifics under one hood.
which is a big difference from many (*cough* well) other open source systems,
which come with source tree A for platform X, source tree B for platform Y, patchiest C for
you get it. That's not the case for NetBSD.
The benefit of this is, if there's a new feature that affects all/many platforms,
there is no need for further propagation to other source trees.
I'm afraid this doesn't only go for Open Source developers.

Real innovation is hard.
The pulse oximeter was developed in 1972 and were common by the late 80's. Patent 10,588,553 was just granted this year. What innovation did Apple "steal"?
I don't know about the FBI, but ICE busts people all the time for this. A lot of the time, they're also minors. Go look up their own press releases. Plenty of examples of ICE agents taking people down for these crimes.
I just heard a story about this. When they bust people for prostitution if the prostitute turns out out to be a minor, it is labeled sex trafficking, because a minor can't legally concent. Actual cases of sex trafficking are extremely rare in the US. This is why "A lot of time, they're minors". Pretty much all the time. They also tend to do press releases about multiple arrests without making it clear they are all independent cases. This leads people to falsely believe there are sex trafficking rings, like Qanon says. Sorry, I can't find a link. Some guy talking about his book on NPR.
"Translation" is the process of translating words from one language to another.
Sure, that's the first definition:
noun: translation
1.
the process of translating words or text from one language into another.
"Constantine's translation of Arabic texts into Latin"
a written or spoken rendering of the meaning of a word, speech, book, or other text, in another language.
But right under that it says,
the conversion of something from one form or medium into another.
I'd bet dollars and doughnuts that these locations (and say hundreds of kilometers around them just went on a planetary protection no-go-zone list.
These locations are buried under ~1 km of ice. They are pretty well protected.
Acer owns the name, not the company.
Acer aquired Gateway in 2007.
They have licensed the name to some Chinese company.
Yup.

Except when they did.
As another poster pointed out, there is much more to making an IC than improving one parameter. Consider GaAs. It should have whomped Si technology in RF applications with its higher mobility. Should have. But Si has other advantages so most RF is still done with Si. I have been amazed over the decades how they keep squeezing a bit more out of Si.
From my poor understanding, it seems like CMOS was the big win for Si. GaAs can't do it, because of poor hole mobility. It looks like non-Si semiconductors are going to be used for 5G amps, but the rest of the chain will still be all Si.
You can't get infected by a COVID-19 vaccine.
You can't get infected with COVID-19, but the Sputnik, Cansino and Astra Zeneca are using a vector based vaccine where they are modifying the common cold virus to include SARS COV2 spike protein DNA. Three candidates rely on weakened human adenoviruses to deliver the recipe for the spike protein of the pandemic coronavirus, while two use primate adenoviruses and one uses measles virus.
So, technically you are getting a mild infection. The small pox vaccine also gives you a mild infection.
This place is full of anti-science idiots.
Idiots and assholes it seems.
Since the outbreak started, covid-19 has slightly mutated so there are now two different strains.
There have been lots of insignificant mutations, The new report, however, did not find that these mutations have made the virus deadlier or changed clinical outcomes. All viruses accumulate genetic mutations, and most are insignificant, scientists say.
Our policy is, when in doubt, do the right thing. -- Roy L. Ash, ex-president, Litton Industries
