Absolutely beautiful scans. Thanks Met. Wonderful art that brightened my day.

It's a useful discovery. The real proof and utility is if what they learned from "mouse-heimer's" can be applied to human Alzheimer's.

A very good article, well explained, and I appreciate the photos of fine watches. As shown, date complications are very tough to calculate and there are many levels of features. Ho…

Consider the possibility that one diamond goes from the steering tube to the right rear axle mount and the second diamond goes from the steering tube to the left rear axle mount.

I agree, I would like an ePub to have a robust note taking and exporting ability. For instance, if I highlight in Chapter 8 "In 539" [next paragraph] "Belisarius" [next paragraph] …

The best identity I can think of is a hash-code of your DNA sequence. You cannot lose it like an external device, an email, or an implanted chip. Yes, there might be collisions in …

Yes this is true, "the conversions did not generally work in their (employee) favor, although the old old timers were allowed to stay on the pension". Once caveat was that the IBM …

Photos or it didn't happen!

I am reading "Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive" by Philipp Detmer ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XTNHRR5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... ). It is a grea…

"Physical UIs also don't need to help the user navigate digital content. Hugely different to physical content." Consider the Beat Buddy pedal (automated drum accompaniment pedal) w…

Imagine when the processor and materials become cheaper. You could have very large hex boards that support many game maps and pieces. With touch control, it would be fun have gestu…

Additionally, IBM made several good pivots in the 90s and later. IBM embraced the world wide web and supported many web products. IBM did well for a while with RISC processors, AI,…

Weren't the IBM Ambra, Aptiva, and Vista brands efforts by IBM to out clone the clones? As I remember, these IBM brands from the 1990s gave the impression of an IBM computer, but t…

There are a few outliers in the HTTP/3 graphs that are slower than the HTTP/2 graphs. I might have missed it, but I don't think the outliers were explained.

It is interesting to me how many engineers hop from English ("3 inches to go on the rubber band") to the metric system ("400 meters per second"). Andy Weir touches on this in his b…

A fascinating article. David Quammen's book "The Tangled Tree: A Radical History of Life" also has stories how DNA changes through more mechanisms than just mutation.

Also there are the possibilities for various questions and exclamations. Why did Jake ask "Can I have another biscuit?"? I was frightened when Jake shouted "Who are you?"! My trous…
