The current title is misleading. The PM (of Macron's government) was ousted; Macron is still the president.

Again, the result holds for all M3 Pro models. The Apple M3 Pro 11-Core even takes the lead in terms of efficiency in some of the benchmarks. The text makes multiple direct comparisons between M3 Pro and M4 Pro efficiency. It looks like the

You can add other M3 models for some of the efficiency benchmarks. The headline still holds true when comparing to M3 Pro models (though the exact efficiency diff depends quite a bit on the exact M3 Pro model/core count).

I'm perfectly happy with the performance of my iPhone SE (2020), and it's still receiving software updates, but the battery is severely degraded. The same was true for my first-generation iPhone SE; I was able to get a cheap repla

It's very common for discussions on this topic to only look at one particular factor and use it to fit some narrative one believes to be correct. Mentioning the difference in population age while ignoring things like population density

They put a lot of money into long-term bonds before the latest interest rate hikes. These bonds now sell at a discount, so they can no longer cover all deposits by selling them.

Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines (that is, vaccines using virus copies that have been killed - live vaccines would be ones where the virus has been weakened) have been a thing for some time. IIRC China used a lot of them. My understanding is t

That's correct. Sberbank Europe is registered as an Austrian bank, so the Austrian equivalent of the FDIC has to cover deposits of up to 100K per client.

I've had this issue before - some combination of relaunching System Preferences, toggling the "iCloud Mail" checkbox and smashing "OK" repeatedly eventually made it work.

My understanding is that existing inactivated (whole-virus) vaccines perform worse than mRNA-based spike-targeting vaccines when it comes to neutralization. Here's a small study comparing BNT162b2 and Coronavac[1]. [1]: https:/&#

There are plenty of countries where the vaccination rate is too low to effectively prevent the healthcare system from being overrun. In Austria, we were in another lockdown due to this just a month ago, with a vaccination rate of about 70%

We're talking about ~1:10000 odds for one specific vaccine when vaccinating young males, which is why many countries are no longer using that vaccine for this demographic. Other vaccines are closer to 1:100000, which isn't far fro

Current variants are significantly more infectious (R0 used to be around 2.5-3.0 for the ancestral strain, Delta was 5+, Omicron estimates go up to 10). Vaccine efficacy is also reduced for these variants. We've also scaled back non-ph

The likely higher transmissibility in combination with a generally more elderly population and vaccination gaps among older individuals in some European countries (e.g. Germany) could still spell trouble.

That quote is slightly misleading. It only looks at the SAR of vaccinated index cases. That makes sense because the letter is about the epidemiological relevance of vaccinated people, but it's incorrect to say vaccines had no effect on

It does not seem unlikely to me that the group of health workers that made up most of the vaccinated group prior to April generally has a lower death rate than the unvaccinated group, which would have contained most aged 50+ at the time (va
