Nuclear warfare that Steve jobs wanted.

I use bing and I am perfectly fine with it. Is there a gain in using Google search?


It’s been a while since I compared, but when I did… Bing was almost always better when I did very specific searches, and Google tended to be better at guessing what I wanted to search. Since then, Google has gotten worse at basically everything so… to your question, probably the opposite.


I don't use bing directly but I use DDG which uses bing and I find most of the time its fine but especially for work/science related queries stuff just won't come up and I'll try it on google and get the useful result near the top.


I've used DuckDuckGo from 2012 until 2022, when I switched to Ecosia. Both search engines uses Bing behind the scenes. In my opinion the results have been "good enough" for a long time and as good as Google for at least five years. In the later years Googles results haven't exactly gotten worse, but the layout of their result pages have been degrading fast. So while Google can still find what you're looking for they are hiding those results in favor of showing more ads and trying to keep you leaving their site.

It is a little surprising what Google still maintain such a high market share, but that's momentum and force of habit for you.


I remember a case where the court did not allow ID to patent "First person shooters"

This rings similar.


Which part of that movie? Thanks.


The opening scene, although they don't go into much detail about how the submarine works.


Finally...

He does not know what it takes to make a superior product. He attitude is towards monetizing a superior product without understanding why it was superior on the first place.


Canada is turning out to be a banana republic.


I don't think that's even remotely true.


There is a housing bubble that none on the top likes to care about

Inflation is through the roof

Suppression of the free press (podcast) are planned and to be set in motion

The leader is doing vacation with Canadian's taxes

There is a carbon taxes that affect the middle-class and poor family

Housing prices are sky rocketing

Buy healthy grocery has gotten really expensive

CERB was a joke and facade on the first place

Corporations are given lee-way with what they can do

-------------------

Please explain as to why it is not remotely true!!!


>Banana republic, derogatory term for a country that has an economy dependent solely on revenue from exporting a single product or commodity. As a result, such countries are typically controlled by foreign-owned companies or industries. Banana republics usually have a highly stratified socioeconomic structure, with a small ruling class that controls access to wealth and resources, and are politically unstable. The term has its origins in the development of banana plantations by American corporations and their exploitation of land and workers in Central and South America beginning in the late 19th century.

I use Brave. There has been reasons & will be in the future as well.

Would it be possible to replicate that on mobile phones? Or a special device is required? 1. trying to figure out the feasibility?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose%E2%80%93Einstein_condensa...

"n condensed matter physics, a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that is typically formed when a gas of bosons at very low densities is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero (−273.15 °C or −459.67 °F)..."

I guess, a special device is needed. The size of such device will be in thousands of mobile phones just in volume needed.

Yet, it is feasible. ;)


There wasn't much money in miniaturizing them so far. Cooling down tiny amounts of matter is much easier than cooling down larger amounts, so maybe there's hope for a microchip sized BEC in 20 years.


Let us take a look at what boson is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boson

"multiple identical composite bosons (in this context sometimes known as 'bose particles') behave at high densities or low temperatures in a characteristic manner described by Bose–Einstein statistics: for example a gas of helium-4 atoms becomes a superfluid at temperatures close to absolute zero."

Helium leaks as nothing else, even more than hydrogen.

Here's some leak rates of heilum: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Comparison-of-the-helium...

Let's say we have a um^3 of helium in the device proposed. Let's assume leak rate of 8*10^-9 of cm^3/sec. (1e-6/1e-2)^3/(8e-9) is equal to 1.2499999999999998e-4 - all helium will leak in 1/8 of microsecond in the device proposed.

I hope this helps.


whats the smalled device to contain a gradient of 300 degrees C?

this is a but solly, like saying you will eventually have a fridge the size if a m9bile phone - us it usefull?


The MEMS accelerometers in our phones are in theory sensitive to gravity changes, but they're not nearly sensitive enough. This group is trying to improve the MEMS sensing technology, but it's doubtful it will be as good as classical gravity meters (falling mass, or spring) or quantum (BEC) ones:

One important distinction is between measuring gravity (generally, acceleration in the vertical direction) and the gravity gradient. The latter is generally easier and more useful for navigation.
