Google says hardware in embedded devices needs to improve to make possible a world of peel-and-stick sensors free of wall power and human maintenance. It's all fun and games until you have to apply a patch to trillions of devices

In a paper published in the journal Nature Electronics, an international team of researchers has reported a new technique for magnetization switching—the process used to "write" information into magnetic memory—that is nearly 100 times faster than state-of-the-art spintronic devices. Maybe this will help with the "Visual Studio is busy" messages
Also: yes, please!

The European Union is set to propose new laws to rein in the power of big tech companies, including measures to ensure customers are protected, smaller rivals are treated fairly, and illegal content is dealt with, the bloc's digital and antitrust chief said on Thursday. Everyone shall be beaten fairly and equitably?
Who gets to define fair? How much does the job pay? Are there snarky blurbs involved?

The Hubble Space Telescope discovered an asteroid in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter called 16 Psyche. The overnight shipping is pretty pricey as well
And it will likely be a bit less after it collapses the market prices on various metals.

Quote: Asteroid 16 Psyche is possibly worth $10,000 quadrillion dollars
Is that possibly the main reason why Elon Musk wants to get to mars that bad?

Probably.
But then the Belters will revolt, drop a few stealth asteroids on Earth, and everything will suck (sorry about spoilers)

It only acquires value once it can be converted into useful stuff. As long as it's orbiting out of reach in the Asteroid Belt, its value is zero.

The North Pole. Took me about 10 seconds to figure that out.
[edit] Reading the whole link, not just the question, I would not have realized that there were 2 answers, though I did consider the South Pole, but you can't walk South from the South Pole, so I dismissed any options from there. I'm still having trouble visualizing that answer. [/edit]

Yeah. That's why he's (and you're) a rocket surgeon. 
It's the second one that's a little trickier (and sillier)

Quite so (see my [edit]) What I'm not clear about is that the starting point has to be more than 1 mile north of the South Pole, otherwise "west" is meaningless if you're right at the South Pole.

|
|

There are multiple solutions to the Southern one. Your one mile West can be several laps of the Pole.

The South Pole is now the South Hole, dug by the feet of those walking in ever-diminishing circles.
Maybe the oomadiddle bird was their inspiration....
