Air velocity makes a lot of difference. Don't touch anything (like your video device), stand in still air without moving, and heat loss will be tolerable for a while.
Major changes require years. Spectre/Meltdown fixes (if my understanding is correct) require detecting and enforcing permissions for all memory accesses, which should be relatively simple. A couple of months to change the design and have a bunch of people check that the change fixes the problems and doesn't introduce new problems. A month to go from schematic or Verilog description or whatever to mask, a month to go from mask to packaged silicon. A couple of months to check that the hardware does what it's supposed to do and doesn't break something else, first internally and then at select customers and reviewers. Then volume production starts. Total time about six months, but only if Intel regards the problem as an emergency priority.
IIRC, the body does not synthesize alpha tocopherol, one of the 8 forms of vitamin E. Being essential to human health and the body not being able to synthesize it is part of what qualifies a substance for being a vitamin.
Alpha tocopherol is available as a cheap supplement; if you buy vitamin E whose makeup is unspecified, it's going to be mostly alpha tocopherol.
Gamma tocopherol helps the body recycle alpha tocopherol.
If superconductors.org is right (why not?), a superconductor with a critical temperature of 216 C has been fabricated. One problem with this, and other similar superconductors, is that only microscopic bits can be made to superconduct - nobody's found a way to make a good bulk superconductor of this material. Anther problem is that they're very hygroscopic so that they self destruct pretty quickly under normal atmospheric conditions.
According to wikipedia, 2,500 tons of gold are produced a year. 10% goes to industrial uses, 40% to finance, 50% to jewelry. 10% is more than "a tiny sliver."
What makes you think that "scientific purposes" and exploration for commercial exploitation are mutually exclusive?
Most science is done with an eye toward future practical uses. Science without eventual human use is pointless; to use Heinlein's phrase, it's "pseudo-intellectual masturbation."
At 49, actions that wouldn't have caused injury earlier in life start becoming dangerous - repetitive stress injury and various strains due to using body parts that have been inactive for years. She can be forgiven for developing her first injury. Going back and hurting herself again. not so much.
It does appear that Amazon has been a bit callous or careless here; the weeks without pay would not have happened if she had a good manager.
The Analog incident occurred during WWII. By 1970, the principles for atomic bomb construction were understood by anyone who bothered to think about it.
There's something awfully screwy about your logic. Ending all government expenditures that meddle in the food market cannot increase the governmental cost of all expenditures that meddle in the food market.
There are other problems in your post. For instance, government policy was a major contributing factor in the food shortages during the Great Depression.
We use our minds to determine what food substances are healthy, and choose accordingly (or not). Nature, on the other hand, frequently tries to poison us. Have some digitalis, sumac, raw cassava root, etc..

The peers of idiots are idiots.

It's time for a car analogy. In a world of fARM tractors that can't go over 40 mph, a car that can go 80 mph is worth far more than twice as much.

Do your own research, this is from memory.
CCFL is inferior because of cost, high voltage drivers, fading, and eventual failure. LEDs can be more efficient.
People who don't know the difference between silicon and silicone are rare, unfortunately.
Humorously: Compilers need to take an easy language, optimize the code and correct the errors.

They can't build a dam. They've tried to attract beavers, and it's beyond their capability.
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ORCL/key-statistics?p=ORCL Look for Trailing P/E; Forward P/E is just a guess. P/S is also about 4X what it should be for a slow-growth company; profit margin is poor and ROE is mediocre.

Sarcasm doesn't work when it looks like belligerent stupidity.
There are people mining bitcoin. That doesn't fit your narrow gauge image either.

The improvements are ongoing. The problem is that you have gouged your own eyes out so that you can't see.

Nifty. Completed in 1976, delivers 110,000 acre-feet per year. Could be double that, but the Navajo grabbed half. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Juan-Chama_Project

"Frankenburger" makes me think of Al Franken - a truly toxic idea.
By that logic, a soy genetically modified to express cyanide would be no problem.
