This would be an ideal opportunity to introduce American readers to Chas'n'Dave, here performing their song "Rabbit" which is indeed about talking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGNojF9qKS0&pp=ygUUY

I remember these antenna points being rather ubiquitous in London when I visited as a child.

I wonder how much of an impact these bacteria have on climate change, given how numerous they are, and that their activities appear to fix CO2. For example, from Wikipedia: hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis: 18H2S + 6CO2 + 3O2 → C6H12O6

What an absurd study - confounding variables crawling out of every corner.

Fastmail is great. Five thumbs up!

This looks as though the author shared the document with around 20 people, which combined with the nature of the content would have flagged the author for sharing explicit spam. May be less of a big deal than is being suggested.

This reinforces their control of internet standards, and they're not free, you're paying with your data.

It's interesting to note that in the context of this letter about the Journal of Algorithms, that there is now an open-access journal called "Algorithms" which looks like it launched five years after this letter: https:&#x2F

Well I hope to God the Enterprise code looks nothing like the pull request..

Yes, it's not like there aren't already third-party games testing companies in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. I'm not sure to what degree games companies use agile and devops practices though. Working with an outsourcer for QA

That might work if you're a local plumber, but not if you're a massive global firm with a de-facto monopoly.

Pretty sure "nursemaid" isn't an obsolete occupation. Jacob Rees Mogg had one, didn't he?

No-one in the comments there seems to have twigged that OBEAh is simultaneously a hex address and a word for JuJu, magic. Which I suppose is appropriate in the context of a tribal initiation?

This should be christening "Clanging" for the purposes of AI as well. The mechanism is probably analogous.

A rather partisan definition. Modern conservatives, like Burke, have made the observation that change is frequently for the worse, and fast change promotes chaos and suffering, such as during the Reign of Terror.

Slow metaboliser here. If I drink a coffee at 11am my heart rate rises and doesn't return to normal until the following morning. There are other genes for it too, like one that affects the degree to which coffee causes anxiety. And ple

It's 20% incidence in general, highest in Asian (Indian etc) communities - not completely correlated with melanin.

Thank you! Important context!

Interesting. The argument made at the end of the blog is analogous to Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. There must be a larger formal system in which the existing system can be computed and defined. The only way out is if the universe is

The real killer is the lack of an authenticator app. I'd be interested to know what other people use for that purpose if they're not carrying a mobile.

It's likely to have increased divorce rates - theoretically, women will be on the pill whilst single, get married and want to have children and then when they come off the pill, they'll find different people attractive. Unfortunat

Whilst I think your comment is tinfoil stuff, I do wonder if the birth-control pill can have psychological effects that alter voting patterns. After all, it's true of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen), which makes you less reactionary.

Went in fairly sceptical, as the opening gambit concerns underage drinking, which as a Brit, I view as a minor peccadillo. But there's something good in there - actually quite a fascinating approach to substance abuse, that a person&#x

Yes, but his name is the obvious one. If I say "Dyson" and you're in the UK, you think of vacuums, "Penrose" and you think of Mathematical Physics. I doubt this would come to court. The main problem is the temerity

Neither Ada Lovelace nor Haskell Curry is still alive. And Python is in a different category. It's one thing to use the name of a historical figure, quite another to use the recognisable mark of a living person. Of course, it could all
