It's shocking really that Microsoft didn't buy Slack and drive that into the ground too. I'm glad to see WhatsApp is proceeding relatively slowly down the Shit-en-slide, since it's completely entrenched in some countries

An old joke, but a good one. Shoutouts to Noah Webster for "opinionatedly curating" British English from an inconsistent crufty unspellable mess to a randomly tweaked version of the same thing.

Of all the schemes I've seen I think the German Pfand system works the best. Solid re-usable bottles, and a small but nontrivial cash incentive to return bottles. Amusingly Ireland recently implemented a half-assed version of the sam

The original Kakeya problem is a really nice one for students, in that it's easy to understand and visualise, but has an unintuitive answer. In this sense it's like Borel-Kolmogorov and imho much better than Banach-Tarski which is

Sounds a bit like Lofar. Stick a few hundred antennas into a field, collect all the raw data, and then do some herculean signal processing and you end up with a fantastic radio telescope that you can "point" retrospectively, e.g.
