One point she makes is that these chips don't last forever and must be replaced every couple years at least. That there is a cycle. Nvidia is, imo, trying to replicate the iphione model, only with chips for enterprise…
I always imagined teams of 2 working the forge. One man to hold the reverse, or "punch," die; a second struck down a hammer. The obverse, or "anvil," die was set into the anvil. That's what I gathered from the denarius…
I can see how it has nothing to do with nitrogen bubbles exploding. But why are you so quick to dismiss the concept? If gravity affects how liquids flow, bone density, and various aspects of human physiology, it stands…
Does anyone know: If deep sea divers need to come back to the surface slowly so their bodies can reacclimate to standard pressure, do astronauts undergo a similar reacclimation process as it pertains to gravity?

The stocks are not down so much today (Thursday the 24th), not beyond the general jitters the market's had of late. But the fact is, this wasn't really the triggering of mutual self-destruction. More likely than not,…
I have formulated a dual analogy between antiquity and modern viewpoints: science:technology::religion:magic Science today, like religion of old, had a centralized authority with strict qualifications to enter.…
This is complete and utter bullshit. Whatever your personal experience, I have ridden taxis hundreds of times over the course of 2 decades and not once has a cab demanded I pay cash. I exclusively used credit cards and…
Reminds me of the South Park episode where agreeing to Apple's Terms and Conditions gives Steve Jobs the right to perform experimental surgery on you (inspired by the B horror flick Human Centipede). Just found the…

I think Ancient art - visual and otherwise - was steeped in formulaic motifs. It's hard to judge the "passion" of the artist's hand with such low quality images, not to mention the damage wrought over thousands of…
When looking at frescoes I like to ask, why did the homeowner (r whomever made these decisions) choose these images/themes for this context? Not just the Trojan War generally, but these particular characters and…
There's also this funny/cheesy poem, quoted in full in the second Harold and Kumar movie: “The Square Root of Three”(written by David Feinberg) I’m sure that I will always be A lonely number like root three The three is…
Have you ever seen A Clockwork Orange? That, imho, is overflowing with pathos. If you do not feel moved by Alex's actions - sympathy, empathy, revulsion, and more - then I'd be curious to know what films do elicit an…
If you're trying to make a point about sacred writings being the first texts, you may want to consider Linear B and cuneiform, some of the oldest texts of the Mediterranean and which are almost exclusively inventory…
Adding to other resources shared here, archaeologist Denise Schmandt-Besserat has written about the evolution of writing (not strictly the alphabet), and much is available online:…
I've thought about this and read/listened to some insightful philosophers and classicists consider this very question. The most convincing rationale I've heard comes from the most eloquent, the most learned, most…
Knowing about the corporate history of these mega-corporations is helpful to understand their ubiquity today. Mastercard came out of Bank of America's innovative "Master Charge" business. Visa was formed from a…
Great find, and fascinating given the talc cases I've seen are all US based. Maybe that's just a bias and more a reflection of the sources I read than fact. Going to the source you provided, I see they do undercut the…
I'm not sure if JNJ liked including that clause, but by embracing this commitment and having the courts approve it with specific limitations to the Consumer Brands business, they may be able to save themselves in the…
Thanks for your input. The main downside I could imagine is if the courts rule that JNJ must provide open-ended financial backing to LTL. JNJ initially provided $2B to LTL to cover liabilities, but made clear they…
Can someone here clarify: Is today's ruling about the legitimacy of structuring JNJ's talc liabilities into LTL? Or is it saying that LTL can't file for bankruptcy AT THE MOMENT because the firm (LTL) is not yet in…
That's a bit Crass
You seem to talk about the Economy in your first line, but the US government in your second question. These are two separate issues that call for two distinct answers. Re: faith in the US gov. This sell-off is not a…
For all of the supposed training Spartans had, they held military domination for less than half a century (counting the conclusion of the Peloponnesian War in 404 BCE to their defeat at Leuctra in 371 BCE. The image of…
