I didn’t realise that, thanks for clarifying. I wonder if this predicted supermassive black hole merger is rare for us - once in a lifetime, or we find out after LISA is operational that they happened frequently. Am I right in thinking that

This is insane! Between 100 days and 3 years we will record what will be the single largest energy release we have ever recorded. To give an idea of our records so far: our detection of black hole mergers around the 100-150 solar masses sca

On the topic of Adobe and things to look out for: I paid for the full subscription for years as I got a lot of use out of it for many projects. What made me quit Adobe was their iPad Pro apps. I found myself using the iPad Pro for visual ar

Tezos is Proof of stake, decentralized and clearly has consensus, the three things the author argues cannot occur in a proof of stake system. I did not find this post convincing especially as many proof of stake systems have been running co

Unfortunately the iPhone 11 Pro has a softer screen, I had mine accumulating permanent scratches within just a few days which surprised me as every other phone I’ve owned had no issues without a screen protector. So iPhone 11 Pro max become

According to the tweet, if a $1.00 app is refunded the customer gets back $1.00 from the developer and Apple keeps $0.30. So each refund costs the dev more than they took in for the sale whilst Apple always pockets the 30%. How can a refund

From memory SEC fined Musk and Tesla and Musk tried playing hardball with them and the SEC immediately doubled the fine. They were willing to start an escalation and Musk finally backed down. Sounded to me like he was not in a strong positi

If it turns out this tweet about Tesla share price is legitimately from Elon Musk, yikes the SEC will eat him up for sure.

The last few tweets are nuts even for Elon Musk, I think it’s likely his account has been hacked.

Governments are as untrustworthy as Facebook but more scary as they have a monopoly on violence and can take away your life. The best outcome here is that Libra doesn't launch at all in any capacity.

A million people die per year due to road deaths, about 40,000 of those in the USA. If what you say is true then a future where robot cars kill 500,000 per year and 20,000 in the USA would be considered acceptable. Yet we know this is absol

I had no idea this was happening in todays world, it is utterly barbaric. To be electrocuting someone constantly throughout their trial, it is so saddening to see society get to this point.

Yeah I agree, however I'd imagine if inflammation was the cause of issues (and I recall some studies showing brain inflammation to be linked to some brain disorders) then perhaps more research would go into what causes the inflammation

Does this mean that inflammation of the brain is to be ruled out as a cause?
