Add a new currency called the buck which represents 1000 dollars. Over the next~200 years of inflation abolish the cent as a fraction of a dollar. When you reach a breaking point again, reintroduce a cent as a bill that represents 1000 bucks. Rinse and repeat every new inflationary super cycle.

Intel QA failing to audit third party suppliers properly is Intel's fault.

To vastly oversimplify how genetics and embryonic development works, the "default" for humans is female and men have genetic codes that overwrites these defaults during fetal development. To put it more bluntly, males have extra code which females lack.

That could explain why sperm+sperm could theoretically work using a stem cell as a mediator to remove the excess code, while egg+egg can't do the same because you'd need to manually scribe the extra genes directly.

You don't need to do either. Qbits are still bounded by the laws of computation, and the planck supercomputers as described are already perfect computers with infinite bits since they can check a password of any length in a single Planck second of operation. There's no speed advantage when going from an infinite number of things with unique states to a single thing with infinite states.

I mean yeah, technically lol. Lmao even. Perhaps a rofl is in order? Changing the terms of the deal when you have an effective monopoly is a powerful tool when combined with access journalism it seems.

Having ownership of something also implicitly gives you the right to sell that thing. Unless 23andMe explicitly stated in the contract that they were under obligated to never share that information. I highly doubt the had anything like that in the contract because, well, here we are.

Also, 23andMe afaik is not a medical association, so they likely aren't bound by things like HIPPA (idk if specific genetic encodings would be included in that anyways) to protect information.

"They found the smart TVs did not appear to upload any screenshots or audio data when streaming from Netflix or other third-party apps, mirroring YouTube content streamed on a separate phone or laptop or when sitting idle. But the smart TVs did upload snapshots when showing broadcasts from the TV antenna or content from an HDMI-connected device."

The world is owned by a big club, and you're not in it.

It means there are 25% more, but neurons aren't the only thing the brain is made of. Idk how much of a size difference, if any, this makes. Considering how sensitive lips and fingers are compared to equal sized parts of your skin in other areas, there might be a similar situation of just having a lot of space in the total structure for extra neurons. It could be a small increase in size, it could have no impact on size, more studies required.

Does that include brain size? I mean yeah the total sum of all size comparisons is 20% larger, but like piece per piece that ain't remotely true (see boobs for an example that defies the total average).

Damn it's been a long time since I've had to use the whole thing:
