An Astonishing Number of Men Are Dying Because They Refuse to Go to the Doctor

Image by Getty / Futurism Treatments Men appear to be dying disproportionately from preventable diseases and conditions way more than women, and in many cases it's their own damn fault: because they're refusing to go to the doctor until it's too late. In interviews with the New York Times, doctors and public health experts expressed concerns with the state of men's preventative care, which they say many chaps tend to ignore — to their own peril.

Apple is hosting its biggest event of the year on September 9. New iPhone 17 models, Apple Watch Ultra 3, AirPods Pro 3, and more are expected.

Study: Sex Education in the U.S. Is a Complete Joke

New research appears to confirm what’s apparent to most anyone who’s taken sex ed in school: it’s largely terrible. Scientists at Boston University led the study, which examined state laws and regulations governing sexual education in public schools. They found that a majority of states mandate schools to teach flawed and ineffective abstinence-based programs, while only some truly require schools to provide medically accurate information. The findings suggest that kids, by and large, aren’t ge

One universal antiviral to rule them all?

For a few dozen people in the world, the downside of living with a rare immune condition comes with a surprising superpower—the ability to fight off all viruses.

DSLRoot, Proxies, and the Threat of ‘Legal Botnets’

The cybersecurity community on Reddit responded in disbelief this month when a self-described Air National Guard member with top secret security clearance began questioning the arrangement they’d made with company called DSLRoot, which was paying $250 a month to plug a pair of laptops into the Redditor’s high-speed Internet connection in the United States.

The TTY Demystified (2008)

The TTY subsystem is central to the design of Linux, and UNIX in general. Unfortunately, its importance is often overlooked, and it is difficult to find good introductory articles about it. I believe that a basic understanding of TTYs in Linux is essential for the developer and the advanced user. Beware, though: What you are about to see is not particularly elegant. In fact, the TTY subsystem — while quite functional from a user's point of view — is a twisty little mess of special cases. To und

'Ten Martini' Proof Uses Number Theory to Explain Quantum Fractals

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant. It was a patchwork quilt, each square stitched out of distinct arguments. Moreover, the proofs only settled the conjecture as it was originally stated, which involved making simplifying assumptions about th
