As expected, Xiaomi’s latest Mi Mix smartphone features a big screen, slim bezels, and no visible camera on the front… until you slide down the screen to reveal dual front-facing cameras that hang out behind the display. It’s the sort of design we’ve seen before, but the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 combines premium design, high-end specs, and […]

Wichtige Patches, die in stabilen Kernel-Versionen landen sollten, werden von der Linux-Community oft vergessen oder übersehen. Abhilfe schaffen soll offenbar Machine Learning, wie die Entwickler Sasha Levin und Julia Lawall erklären. (Linux-Kernel, Linux) It’s still simple life, though, and the oxygen is mostly at the frigid poles.

Atmospheric oxygen both enables complex life and is a hallmark of it. Aerobic respiration is so energetically efficient that it's thought to have been needed for multicellularity. There is hardly any oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding Mars, raising questions about the prospects for complex life there.
But it's possible some oxygen is dissolved in any watery brines that could exist at or just below the red planet’s surface. Geologists at CalTech and Harvard have analyzed exactly how much oxygen these brines could hold and found that it might be just enough.
A few conditions made them think there was even a chance. First, the Martian atmosphere has a tiny bit of oxygen, which is very different than it having none. (“There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.”) Second, the chemistry of Martian meteorites and rocks indicates that oxygen played a role in the formation of the Martian crust. Third: the brines on or just beneath the Martian surface have a much lower freezing point than pure water because of the magnesium and calcium perchlorate salts they contain. They can supercool down to like 140-150K while staying liquid, and cooler liquids can dissolve more gas.

Im dritten Quartal 2018 konnte AMD zwar Umsatz und Gewinn steigern, aber nicht so stark wie erwartet. Die Aktie brach dennoch von über 25 US-Dollar auf 17 US-Dollar ein, da das vierte Quartal schlechter laufen wird als von den Anlegern gedacht – hier w…
Customers cut Tesla a ton of slack over “full self-driving” delays.

Over the last two years, Tesla has been charging customers $3,000 to $5,000 for an upgrade called "full self-driving."
"All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go," Tesla's order page said. "Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed."
Last week, Tesla abruptly dropped the option from the order page. It was a tacit admission that the technology was not close to being released. But it's been obvious for months that Tesla has been struggling to deliver on its self-driving promises.
