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

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?

And the big tech companies...
- Yeah, right!!! We promise we will do no evil... (crossing fingers behind the back and ROFLing in their minds)

The U.S. National Security Agency is rebuffing efforts by a leading Congressional critic to determine whether it is continuing to place so-called back doors into commercial technology products, in a controversial practice that critics say damages both U.S. industry and national security. "I wanna be your back door man" (part way too many)

I think my comment to the message above can apply here too. Just replace "Big tech companies" with "(some) Acronyms government agencies" and I say some, because many others (in many countries worldwide) are either too weak or driven by too dumbs to do it, not because they wouldn't want to do it

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.

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.

If it's name is 16 Psyche, how could the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered it? Doesn't the "16" mean that it was the 16th asteroid to be discovered? That would be many years ago.
EDIT: The ECB can use it to recapitalize all the EU's zombie banks.

You are correct - 16 Psyche was discovered in 1852. List of minor planets: 1–1000 - Wikipedia
In the three cases that I was an eyewitness to events that made the local newspaper, the "reporters" did not get a single fact correct. I have no reason to assume that "reporters" elsewhere are any more accurate.

Why couldn't they just say "10 quintillion" dollars instead of 10,000 quadrillion?
