Apple is (rightfully IMO) far more notorious for taking something that’s been around for years already, adding it to their product line (or as a feature in a product), and then pretending they invented it. Almost every company will copy features/products from other companies, but they don’t usually pretend to have invented the whole thing.

Example: Gmail. It was revolutionary, but not because Google really invented much (or indeed claimed to). Rather, it was revolutionary because it provided features that already existed in paid options (e.g. full IMAP support, large mailbox sizes) for free, with a good web interface.

Plague Inc was one of the things that kept me sane during lockdown.

If I understand correctly, it was exploited in the wild before a fix was available, which does make it a zero-day. However, the fix has been available for weeks, so while it was technically a zero-day, at this point it’s just a vulnerability in unpatched systems.

That’s the idea of those “which pictures contain bikes?” ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They’ll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.

In astrophysics it’s even easier.

Hydrogen, other.

Chemistry fans: And obscurium is really cool, because it has three stable isotopes right near each other, but it’s not really useful for anything…

Chemists: why are my results so weird? Oh, right - hydrogen can have a neutron sometimes.

This is the opposite of the time my friend posted a link to my personal site on Digg. It was running on a Pentium 1 with 128 MiB of RAM on a home internet connection.

I am hopeful that some further work on RISC-V gets some more competition in the space.

Carrying the body of a smaller plane in a larger plane isn’t an antipattern either. Airbus does this between body assembly and attaching the wings.

This isn’t even a good meme, let alone being about science.

This is a bad meme.

Linux has the secret service API that has been a freedesktop.org standard for 15 years.

Perhaps they could disbar his member?

Probably the black sea, dad.

One the one hand you are correct.
