Quote: Because the Martian atmosphere is so thin (about 1 percent the thickness at the surface of Earth's atmosphere), Ingenuity must be both really light and have blades that spin really fast. They rotate at a speed of 2,400 revolutions per minute. The vehicle's solar-powered lithium-ion batteries have to provide enough energy for about a 90-second flight.
Kudos for it  . It is a start.
But 90 seconds nominal? I kind of feel, that the helicopter won't be long time active. Sadly.

Windows 10, Microsoft’s latest desktop operating system is celebrating its fifth anniversary today. The OS is now running on more than 1 billion devices, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be replaced by “Windows 11” anytime soon. Like a fine whine

Seeing how it is now working, I am not sure if that are good or a bad news

They're not going to 11, instead they're resurrecting the fiasco that was Windows ReallyTerrible, ignoring the ways they tried to make it marginally less bad with Windows Stupid; this time it's going to be called Windows 10X Times Worse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft’s plan is to collect and catalog issues that affect developers who work on Windows. This repo is not just for developers who write applications for Windows, this is for all developers who write code on Windows. We're going to need a bigger repo

Why to open a new channel to give feedback if they are going to ignore it as every other channel to give feedback?

Progress!
It's easier than clearing out all the requests they're already ignoring.

An outback Queensland pub has banned emus after a spate of bad behaviour from the feathered guests. Worse than the locals?
OK, not "Industry news", but Chris and I thought it important you should know.
Also: an emu once stole my cookie.

For a moment, I misread this as Imus 
Even as a shock jock, he'd have to be pretty shocking to shock Australians...

 I imagine him being dead and in the pub may be a tad shocking for the other patrons.

A study published today in The Lancet Digital Health by UPMC and University of Pittsburgh researchers demonstrates the highest accuracy to date in recognizing and characterizing prostate cancer using an artificial intelligence (AI) program. Two thumbs up

using an artificial intelligence (AI) program. And as I said below... it is nice that it works, but it is not an AI.

California law requies a cause of death on death certificates. When my 94 (or was is 95) year-old grandma died, it said something like; pneumonia complications due to lung cancer. The doctor told my dad to ignore that and hat everyone over 70 has cancer and she died of old age. (Especially since while there was cancer in her lungs, nobody had noticed until the autopsy.)

I "like" how 98% is now considered near-perfect. Reduce that to ~90% and I had near-perfect grades in high school.

Many people have found themselves working remotely from home as a result of the pandemic, forcing them to adjust to a new workflow that, in many cases, involves taking over the kitchen table or bedroom closet. Maybe put some cubicle walls in there so you feel at home?

|
|
Yes, put in a proper office because the Government can't tax your kitchen table so much.
