People with health conditions won't get infected if there is no spread. By all means vaccinate the most vulnerable, but stay at home early retirees aren't exactly superspreaders. The 18-35 cohort after vaccination with the Pfizer

The site is intended to vaccinate the population as quickly as possible. Ignore the rules, get jabs in every willing arm until there is none left. Vaccines in the fridge or thrown in the bin don't lower R0. The goal of any competent va

Yeah, and die area isn't exactly going to be given away on a capacity constrained 5nm wafer line. If you can get the wafer starts at all. Performance per dollar is the only metric that matters, and maybe 7nm or even 14nm performs bette

You just assume that every electronic communication is dragneted now. Your phone, your car radio's bluetooth radio, toll transponder, alpr, everything. What I like about the signals-intelligence-only focus is that I can leave my phone

I'm a white late-30's politically inactive prole with no social media accounts, a paid off house, solar panels, plug in hybrid, e-bike and large vegetable garden. None of this bullshit really concerns me. It's all just the ol

"For example people will often say give me that liter of wine, when in fact the bottle it’s 750ml" No one has ever said this. Ever. In the history of ever. Wine and spirits in the US were sold as "fifths" or one fifth of

It wouldn't surprise me if every military intelligence organization on the planet was now secretly allied and colluding against the common enemy, the public interest.

"Fix The Effing Finder" has been a constant refrain from long term users all the way back to 10.1.5, they're never going to do it.

I moved to mac during Vista, switched back for 7, and then bailed after Windows 8. I'm still running 7 on my gaming/video editing machine. Microsoft needs to stop fucking with working UIs. Metro (or whatever they call it now) is a

I've had three 12" Macbook main boards, two screens, and two keyboards replaced free under Australian Consumer Law because of broken components. Connectors that should have been replaceable onsite in seconds instead requiring depo

Perhaps. But it was a deliberate design decision to place certain sensors and actuators that may need repair in inaccessible locations. Pumps, spark plugs and chains need to be removable without major disassembly of the engine. Shift soleno

This story would be many times more interesting with more technical details and less "human drama".

Doesn't matter much. Below about 80km/h rolling resistance is dominant. >What is the energy density delta between a HFCV and BEV currently? Depends on what you're counting. Mirai's fuel cell stack, composite overwrapp

Intels 14nm fabs and tooling are now fully amortized and yields are going to be very much higher than 7nm/5nm nodes. 193i steppers are also dirt cheap, and most of their old fabs can also be modified for 14nm/10nm production, wher

My case was probably an extreme example, Salvation Army (in Australia) was a mostly volunteer organization for the brief time I was there. Problem is the same everywhere regardless of pay structure, charity is used to as a crutch to wave of

You can't, mems gyroscopes drift too quickly to be useful. Most tunnels where GPS "works" pass a repeated GPS signal through a leaky feeder, the receiver uses doppler to figure out your speed and guestimate distance. I guess

Goodwill isn't part of a "market", it's a charity. As such prices aren't set rationally but emotionally. The people giving away their time at the register are doing it to feel good about themselves, to "give ba

If you're so incompetent that you can't estimate your costs, a fixed price microserver built into a dilapidated wooden shanty with no obvious fire protection system is what you should be buying.
