I remember at least Robert Hübner, who lost competitions because he refused to hand over the game script because he insistent to have a "copyright" on the series of moves, and if I correctly remember he repeatedly threw hissy fits about "things making noises" at competition locations.
At 27 and 26 years old respectively, they could be duking it out for a long time to come - pro chess players can retain almost all of their peak strength well into their 40s.
Yes, but how boring would that be? I mean, those are two Mr. Nice Guys just playing chess. Where is the drama of a Bobby Fisher vs. Boris Spassky match in that? The crowd prefers weird cranks battling for the title!
You are right - I never attended programming classes, such were not existent at the time when I started programming, we had to get our knowledge from spec sheets and a few existing books.
But I did attend to English lessons in school, where I learned that sentences should contain verbs.
1 / 2.20462234 =.45359242798927638554 .45359242798927638554 - 0.45359237 =.00000005798927638554
So either your number is not "exact" or the 2.20462234 on the Wiki page is an approximation. In both cases, this is a much less precise definition than required for state of the art mass measurements.
At the rate at which phones are decreasing in volume and increasing in touch input surface area by 2020 phones will be 99% touchscreens!
Why stop at the surface? By 2030, touch displays will cover the inside and the PCB, making more room for the 18 cameras on the outside - for the permanently recording 360 selfie-video which is live-streamed into the cloud.
We are already long past the stage where new smartphone features are meant to be useful.
Not being hysterical about playing a new game the week it is published not only saves one a lot of money, it also makes one less of a beta-tester for unfinished software. Buy a year 6 months after release, and have a more stable, more polished experience for much less money.
Actually, yes, because such payment systems are one of those things where "market mechanisms" do not cause healthy competition in the long run. And a state-owned monopoly, which is at least indirectly controllable (via elections) is a lot better than some arbitrary mega-corporation skimming money off every transaction.
I actually still prefer the mobile payment system "cash", which is state owned, and does not make me the product of data krakens.
Usually, if you are proud to show something, you do not deliberately switch off the lights to make it barely visible. But Samsung did exactly that. So something must be very, very wrong with the prototype. (Maybe like with the Flexpai, where the display surface looks like a shriveled lamination?)
They just fetched keys from the central service provider, and given that this crappy app never implemented actual end-to-end encryption, that was enough to decrypt the messages.
Seriously, criminals stupid enough to rely on proprietary, centralized messenger services deserve to get jailed for that alone.
therefore I would not consider buying one, anyway. My old Samsung Note 2 still runs like on its first day, thanks to it now using the 3rd set of cheap, 3rd-party, user replaceable battery and a fine installation of Lineage OS.
Multiple groups of scientists around the globe have already debunked the EM-drives "thrust" as merely being an interaction of the electrical lines powering the "drive" through the magnetic field of the earth. It was embarrassing NASA did not notice this obvious source.
I understand that some journalists from some backward countries used to "pounds" (that are not even well defined enough for precise mass measurements) are confused with words they don't understand, but "The Future of the Kilo" is unspectacular: It continues to be a prefix meaning a factor of exactly 1000. No changes or re-definition planned.
That was my first thought, too. Really, that completely destroyed their credibility for such jobs. Google probably knows where to best get positive results for their hype.
Because NASA is seen by many as an unbiased 3rd party, with the technical expertise to do the analysis.
At least since NASA promoted scientifically unfounded claims on "EM-drives" I would rather trust actual scientists who favor evidence and accuracy over media hype.
This has been tried already, even commercially, but the advantages of having the motor not as part of the moving mass of the front or rear wheel massively outweigh the advantage of being able to regain some energy when breaking.
... which operates for free, and at a safe distance. It provides way more energy than mankind requires. All we need to do is collect it, and we are getting increasingly good at that.
My phone is reasonably small, has two SIM-slots, an SD-card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and is back to 100% battery charge in 5 seconds (by replacing the battery with my already charged second battery).
Every newer phone got worse in one to all of the above categories, so my money goes into other things.
Bloomberg being wrong might be one aspect of the story, but it is not an answer to the most interesting open questions: Who placed the (false?) story and provided fake-evidence? And what was the motive for this action? Stock price manipulation? Political agenda to hurt Chinese manufacturers?

So you've never a programming class.

Why is it insulting? Computers learned to play chess better than humans before they became able to play Pacman better than humans.

Are you seriously saying that a UK outside of the EU will have less lobbyist in power? You will be in for a bad surprise...

I mean, how could that be deemed illegal if there must not be a state monopoly for other payment systems?
... then people won't be too upset about them.

The American pound is quite precisely defined. It's exactly 0.45359237 kg.
Then you might want to edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... which says otherwise (it speaks of .45359242798927638554 kg per US pound).
because where he lives dozens of inconsistent "pounds" have been used as units, and not only for mass, but still today for a currency of decreasing value and relevance.
And I would not be surprised if the next vote there is on re-introducing imperial units, once the Brexit is done.

She seems qualified enough by her first name and could help reaching diversity goals at NASA.
