Chemotherapy means "Chemical Therapy" so this is still technically categorized under that. But the general term has gotten really negative in recent decades so I suppose it's why they're distancing the branding from it.

Wasn’t it around this time last year that Google had their big layoff? I suppose the rumor that Google implemented stack ranking might be true after all.

It doesn't matter how much you "pack the cells very tight", there's a geometrical limit here.[1]
And in practice, you'll have modules of sections of the battery for repairing which drops the efficiency to below 90%.

Except those 10 poor kids aren't spending their own money to save themselves. The patient is though which is the point.

Such a crass statement. What if you're the patient? Would you spend 2 million to live 30-40 more years? It's so easy to step back and weight the lives of other as if you're making the decision for others.

But size/height does play a role in humans. For example, shorter people tend to live longer average lifespans.[1]

Did you even read the article?
First thing, Apple is the smallest loser in this upgrade cycle. Being only downed 11% compared to downed 37% for Google.
Second, the only manufacturer growing is Motorola. Not Pixel/Next.

I just want to point out this is only aimed at coal power plants. This has nothing to do with other uses of coal which is used for steel making. According to the EIA, a little over 90% of coal is used for power[1]. But there is close to 10% of that used for Steel.

"Link" implies correlation which in this case doesn't explain the causality of renting private homes part.
The underlying "hidden variable" might just be "poverty". So the causal relation would be something like:
Poverty -> Stress -> Faster biological ageing
Poverty -> Renting private homes

This has been an incredible year for gaming already but even more so for classic series. So far we've seen a new Zelda, Diablo, Final Fantasy, Balder's Gate and Counter-Strike come out. The last time this happened was back in 2000.

After the whole lightning to USB-C plug fiasco for the iPhone, I wonder if the EU will ever throw their weight to force certain smaller countries to adopt more popular socket standards. It might even be done in the name of "reducing e-waste".
Just looking over the list above, it seems like Type-J (Swiss & Liechtenstein only) and Type-K (Denmark & Greenland only) are prime candidates. I'm only looking at sockets within the EU border btw.

I know it feels a bit reductionist, but what % keyboard would you call this? Feels like its somewhere 40% to 45%.

The "roll" angle (as in roll/pitch/yaw) w.r.t. your elbow is relevant.

So you admit the standard grip is "better" than the scissor grip.

The answer also includes a link that shows many other representations including Einstein's "4d generally covariant tensor calculus".
The point is that the most common formulation today is not the one Maxwell made (with 12 equations). The idea is preserved, but it was Gibbs and Heaviside that formulated the current 4 equation representation.
