This is the right approach, but there’s lots of complexity around transcoding. In the courtroom that’s less of an issue if you can get the original unmodified outputs, but broader applications need to think through what it means to be “veri

As someone with neither the background nor the mathematics to fully understand renormalization, I'll say that the wiki entry isn't terribly helpful: "Renormalization, in this example, mathematically replaces the initially pos

Artifacts have been periodically salvaged from the wreck between 1987-2000. RMS Titanic Corp now has title to those artifacts and has periodically talked about returning to the wreck to salvage more. The whole thing has been tied up in cour

I think this gets it a bit backwards. There has been a shortage of nurses for decades, and it’s getting worse. This is exacerbated by an aging population and restrictive immigration policies. Travel/agency nurses were supposed to be lo
