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.

However, the phases of the moon complication is not discussed in much depth here. Is it a simple calculation independent of the date?

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] "marched on Ravenna" [10 paragraphs later] "In 540 Belisarius entered Ravenna".

I would like to export this with the Chapter header and detailed highlight locations OR just as one sentence with subtle links to the locations.

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 a DNA hash-code (such as identical twins), but there can be protocols for that.

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 older pension plan was more valuable than a 401k plan because IBM investment strategy was far better than the average 401k investor options.

"Conversions did not generally work in their favor" for these reasons: 1) IBM originally announced (around 1999) that all active employees were converted to the less desirable 401k plan. After a lawsuit, IBM had a formula for who got the more valuable older pension. Two people have 18 years of service for IBM. The younger one (say 45 years old) had no choice but to switch. The older one (say 50 years) was allowed a choice.

2) IBM was able to control the amount for the 401k payout. Their pension value (easily calculated future value based on salary and years of service) was converted into present value based on IBM's estimation of the amount you could make in free market investments. So essentially they said "Your $2M pension is worth $36k today because we calculated you can make 20% per year in investing. Here's your $36k for 18 years of service." (By the way, IBM salaries were usually lower than most other companies because they always touted their great pension plan that no others could match.)

Both these points were argued in courts. The first point was won by some employees, not all, only IBM knows. The second point was won by IBM.

Photos or it didn't happen!

It is a very provocative title. I guessed Raymond Chen as well. Of course he delivers an interesting deep dive behind the title.

Would love to get general directions for a Blink camera.

That might be a good feature for kids clothing. This mycelium Sponge Bob onesie grows as you do. Fits ages 5 to 60.

That is part of his humor for the video. I laughed out loud.

"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) which can play lots of digital content via user commands. Yes the foot commands are limited ("add a fill", "splash sound", "next phrase", "end song"), and so are the dials ("choose playlist", "change tempo"). However, the proper stomping really helps if you want to add an extra solo or just chill with a beat while you tell a story.
