I actually interpreted it as callous to the suffering women endure at first read for some reason. But yeah, there's very much an element of, "The stakes are higher for women, so they can deal with the side effects," which is awful.

At first read that came off as callous, but I see your point. I had that thought as well regarding improving female birth control. Where's the research into a hormone-free pill for women?

It looks like the hormonal NES/T male contraceptive gel passed safety a while back and started phase 2 trials in 2018. It's already gearing up for phase 3 trials with investors ready to fund this final phase:

But a hormone-free option is more appealing. I hope YCT-529 makes it to the finish line.

Introducing the First Male Birth Control Pill

That's the earliest year I remember hearing about a male birth control pill. There are probably articles from years prior to 2010. Obviously this is a great advancement, but is it reasonable to expect one of these to actually come to market within the next decade?

Edit: Actually, this is discussed in an article linked to by the Scientific American article:

A joke among researchers in the field of male contraception is that a clinically approved alternative to condoms or vasectomy has been five to 10 years away for the past 40 years.

Not OP, but I'd be more interested in making a tiny ball round enough to roll across a surface and fall into a hole (not the "absence of an electron" meaning of that word). And I'd want it achieved through gravitational forces rather than electromagnetic. I feel like that makes the problem harder and largely makes it a materials science question. Someone in MEMS research probably has a good idea of how to approach this.

With those parameters, the system would probably need to operate in a high vacuum with as little interaction from electromagnetic forces as possible. All materials used should probably have a low permittivity to reduce the amount of static charge buildup from friction. Intuitively, I feel like it makes sense to use the same material for everything. But it might not be that simple. Maybe the material used to make the smallest round ball isn't well suited to making the smoothest surface for a short putting green?

I dunno, I'm just a guy who took a few classes on semiconductor design in undergrad spit balling.

I've always had an issue with calling any of this AI. The branding is part of the problem. These people probably don't realize that they're talking to a fancy word predictor tuned to stroke their egos for engagement.

If it comes with the bubbles screensaver, I'm in

Dude's not a "public figure" in my world, but he certainly seems to need help. He sounds like an AI hallucination incarnate.

Thanks for this. Another important bit:
5,000mAh × 3.88V ÷ 1,000 ≈ 19.4Wh

Didn't know there was an Android version!

I've been using OnlyOffice on Linux for a while. It's what LibreOffice could be if Libre's UI wasn't a potato. But does anyone know if fears about its ties to Russia are legitimate?

When I looked into it, I didn't find anything to worry about. Just a lot of fear mongering, because Russia=bad.
