Growing up near a few Air Force bases (Holloman/White Sands and Kirtland) you'd occasionally hear sonic booms. They'd do quite a number on sliding glass doors with tons of visible wobble.

yeah I was referring to the specific case where the observer is roughly close to x_max for a 10^19 or above event and quite literally in the ionization column. You can get rid of almost all of the electronic and gamma components in with abo

Ha, we had this idea quite a long time ago (2008) when "apps" really started becoming a thing. I think this works if you were in a densely populated area and a significant fraction of the population was listening, but that was alw

A few years ago I sat in on a CS course at Stanford and was able to count 4(!) identical palantir t-shirts on the same day. It was ridiculous, I probably have the picture somewhere.

I work on a workflow engine (aka DAG processor) that dates to before 2008. We use it for many things in an astronomy experiment. It has executed over 900M batch jobs and 200M "scriptlets", and most of those workflows can be re-exe
