It's called football. What Americans call football is American Rugby. ;-)

There's a fundamental flaw in the article (and likely also in the underlying research) ; it assume that unless you're married, you're single. That's far from truth; roughly half of partnered couples aren't married at all.

What is the definition of a bribe, now again?

Interesting. I guess the flaw will remain until Razor Lake gen 16, or — if all stars align — maybe Nova Lake gen 15.

The GHz isn't the main issue; it is latency. We were stuck at 3-3.5 GHz for a long while with dual core being super expensive.

Now we're at 6-6.2 GHz in turbo mode. Can we go faster?Likely, but I don't see 12 GHz within forseable future. Instead, internal parallelism within a core have increased significantly. The bottleneck is cache reload and flushing from/to RAM. Highly optimized programs /may/ fit in cache (assuming they don't get swapped out due to task switching) but most don't since they use large frameworks and/or are interpreted or runs on Windows that since dawn of time always take 2-3% CPU.

But there's a lot of programs that are unable to utilize multiple cores, so even if there's 20 cores available, 19 are unused and the last one is limited.

Lower voltage allows for somewhat faster clock speeds, allowing faster execution. Microcode based instruction sets (x64) benefit the most from internal parallelism due to the ability to begin an instruction before the previous has completed, while ARM CPUs generally split the entire instructions into independent parts that all are executed simultaneously, but there's a limit on how much that can be parallelized given a certain RAM bus width. Increasing RAM bus width, expecially external RAM bus width is likely where the biggest gain is.

Electronic e-paper shelf labels have been around for at least some 20+ years or so. This article feels like a nothing-burger to me.

It makes sense on all points:

* Politically, since the USA is no longer a reliable partner.

* Strategically, since the Gripen is designed specifically for defence against russia in an arctic environment from rual highways, while F35 is an offensive plane mostly designed for use in warmer climate from fixed air bases.

The US does - as usually - not treat Copyright (or any other IP law) the way the rest of the world.

With the exception of the US, there's no "Copyright Office" where copyright is registered at. Copyright is automatically given for any work having sufficient "level of art" - a bar which is very low. It is not even required to state © for the work. However, if a work indeed has sufficient "level of art" can only be determined in an IP court of law.

Generally, billionaires have already moved their assets to tax-havens. Because it is the sane thing to do. And the minute a bill for anti-movement is scheduled for a vote, the rest will be moved before the bill comes into effect.

Instead of taxing leavers, one should provide tax cuts for returners. Their investment locally means jobs will be created locally and taxes will subsequently be paid locally anyway. Win-win for everyone.

There used to be a wealth tax and land value tax in Sweden (aka world champion of taxation), but they were abolished simply because being taxed yearly on an fixed asset doesn't mean you have the liquidity to pay the taxes from your income. They had also caused the some of the wealthiest people in the UK to be Swedes, IKEA being Swiss and Dutch, and a lot of other movements of capital to other countries. All in all, wealth and value tax are a big loss of income for the government.

It might be legal in YOUR jurisdiction, but at least in the jurisdiction I'm in, it is not - AFAIK - legal to neither underwrite or overwrite costs on the sole purpose of avoiding tax or grooming the pig.
