    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    A doctor's knowledge does not go without saying. As with any profession, there are good practitioners and not so good practitioners. In your case, paraphrasing here, your doctor explained a treatment that was not FDA approved, because he thought it might do you some good. But he explained the...

    2nm transistors

    5nm processor chips have been used in cell phones and tablets for several years now, but this is a bit of a departure from the current Intel or AMD tech Apple has been using. In fact, other than the price it might be what Apple needs. There's been a kind of convergence going on between cell...

    Please don't like my thread-campaign

    I can! In fact, my wife just helped me shave most of it off this weekend after I uh, we'll just call it a shaving accident, made it kind of lopsided. Not my fault.

    Fortunately, that is not how science is done. The existence of an initial study is evidence, but not definitive evidence that a treatment works. If the treatment survives the reproducibility test, it is evidence that a further trial is perhaps warranted. Informed consent: This period is...

    2nm transistors

    I have to make a decision. New ships, or a Mac? I just paid for two laptops since June (for work), so my wife won't be happy either way... Hmm. Sounds like I might maybe have nothing to loose.

    Ship showdown predictions?

    I think @Chromeninja is about spot on with the prediction, including the top 4. Beyond that, I think the C2 has a disadvantage there, because it's not all that popular overall but... frankly if that is the top 4 I have no worries about the winner. But I like the MSR best.

    2nm transistors

    The M1 is certainly an interesting chip. It can outdo x86 architecture in... 5nm... lol, no other way to put it. If the price point wasn't up in nosebleed territory...

    Groan! Probably right. Or close. Maybe even with 3 or 4 star systems!

    It's very well done whatever they used!

    Sorry if that seemed condescending, the word catharsis is in the forum posts. That has certain connotations that appear to be being missed. See second sentence below. So your question was on his personal reasons for sharing. It is actually a kind of art form. I was kind of hoping that you...

    He's sharing the stories that interest him and his opinion about them. The word "catharsis" is even in the title he uses. If you don't know what that means, look it up. A dictionary is helpful, but also check Wikipedia, there's an excellent description there including it's history which adds...

    Four unannounced ships coming

    Game loops around this might work even better if the Vulcan can operate with a Starfarer and a Crucible nearby. Maybe even an SRV or two. Fleet support.

    I'd say he does a lot better than CNN and Fox, and @NaffNaffBobFace is not even a journalist and doesn't pretend to be. If you continue, and I hope you do - might I suggest just doing so as you please, and not the way anyone else tells you to until told otherwise by @Montoya. BTW The links to...
