192 mph (309 km/h) is a nice achievement, but it does not look like a breakthrough. French TGV has been reaching 200 mph (320 km/h) for regular service since 2011, with plain old rails and without vacuum. And there have been tests at much higher speed.
What is the point of all this stuff if it barely reproduce six years old performance? are there plans to go faster?
computer chips that are a 21st century staple much as oil was in the past
21st century societies are still much more able to stand a shortage of chip production than an oil shortage. You can carry on using your last year's mobile, but you cannot use last year's oil.
The paper calls the hacker group "Putin's hackers", and many comments here follow the trend. But Microsoft is a bit more prudent, as noted in TFA:
Microsoft doesn’t name Russia in its suit, instead describing Fancy Bear as a “sophisticated and well-resourced organization” that remains unidentified.
Indeed the hackers are probably Russians, and they seem to follow our perceived Russia government's interests, but reducing everything to the enemy's leader, which has to be evil, is basic war propaganda. That does not help thinking, and it drives us away from interesting questions: what are Russia's interests? Does Fancy Bear help serving them?
enemy nations wouldn't dare attack if they knew they'd face certain retaliation within minutes.
Enemy nations already do not dare attacking US, and the fact that NATO spends 80% of worldwide military expenses is probably the reason. These supersonic missiles are not for defense, they are to bolster offensive power.
As noted in summary, we already have it in WiFi. WiFi mesh networking did not bring a revolution of usages, why would it be the case with Bluetooth mesh networking?
There is something even worse than a bad UI: an UI changes on each release. Users have to learn it again and again, while wandering menus and panels is not their primary job.
More than making a good UI, I wish MS could stop changing it on every release.
Human languages evolve under some constraints: they tend to have some redundancy so that you can understand someone talking over a noisy channel (crowded place for instance), they also use non verbal cues.
I am not surprised that bots freed from human language constraints can evolve very different languages.
I hope this is a kind of joke. If it is not, then he should pass a law to trump gravity, so that Australian can quickly become a world-class leader as flying cars supplier.
The movie beings no benefit to bacteria, hence it will be slowly killed by mutations. I do not see how such a storage system could work without freezing the storage bacteria.
European Union produces regulations, but it is always difficult to figure what EU institution spoke. Here it could be the EU commission, EU council, member state regulators...
After reading TFA, it seems it is EU commission. What I still do not know is what are the legal grounds for the new guidelines.

the new Send tool is web-based (...) It encrypts the file as it is uploaded
How did they implement key exchange with recipient? Encryption is of little value if the operator also transmits the key.
It is usually considered that if you have access to a device, you can take control of it.
If we call that a hack that must be fixed, then I fear the solution is more closed software, and repair-hostile hardware.
open source projects, such as Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTracing, Fluentd, Linkerd, containerd, Helm, gRPC
That looks like name dropping: Half of them do not have a Wikipedia page, some do not even show on top when doing an internet search.

Ryzen 3 features the same die as its higher-end Ryzen 7 and 5 siblings, but has fewer active cores
Is that a clever plot to sell Ryzen 7 chips that turned to have defective cores?
I assume Tim Cook refers to 2 million developers of third party apps? How many of them can pay the bills with that?
Try the massive contamination of drinking water with estrogen from birth control pills as well as the estrogen mimickers such as soy products.
You missed one major suspect: endocrine disruptors

"We are going to make this too expensive to pursue "
That can work against an individual, but against an insurance company?

Where is this certificate public database? How can I query it?
The libretto, or operatic script, doesn't call out words like Apple or iPhone due to copyright issues
Since when copyright restricted using a name? Even a trade mark cannot be used to prevent someone talking about it using the protected name.
Apple, Google owner Alphabet, Microsoft, Cisco, and Oracle hold 88%
Weird, I would have expected to see Amazon in that list. Where does its money go?
Summary claims 21,000 liters of diesel saved over 2.6 billion liters yearly usage.
Are they really boasting about a .0008% offset?I agree there is no small gains, but I am not sure it is worth the news.

On the one hand: France (oldest ally), the UK (special relationship), and Canada (friend with benefits), all democracies and members of NATO.
On the other hand: Russia(...)

To be precise: "it" refers to the movie, here. The bacteria will be fine.

You use a completely different part of your brain to interpret code
Does that mean programming languages are not languages like our brain is used to?
