You can see at the bottom of the second poster that the same projection admits different framings of the tesselation plane to reflect different purposes. The one in the triangle seems ideal to reflect a focus on Antarctica and indeed conve

The shapes are all able to be written in a way that visits points in the corners of the square in the same order (UL, LL, UR, LR). So 0111 and 1110 can be written with the skewed V shape because the 1's are in sequence, while 1011 and

I'm not a regular Google maps user, so I'll ask: does someone have screenshots of what Google maps used to display for occupied Palestine? I'd love to see a side-by-side.

So the 3D printing spits out a big chunk of finished product that "could not" be made by assembling parts more conventionally. What happens when a piece breaks? Just throw the whole thing out?

I actually told my bookstore that students this fall could use either the 2nd or 3rd edition of a book (Sipser, which for the record is breathtakingly expensive, but the 3rd edition is nearly identical to the 2nd, right down to the typese

That was my persistent thought as I was reading the article. How is it even remotely possible that the legal system did not see the trafficked men as victims here? It was prosecuted as if Arefin's sole crime was against the state, an

True, and in some ways I feel that the "warning" aspect of Godwin's Law gets used to dismiss the actually-relevant Nazi comparisons when they do happen. It can be frustrating.

I hope the project releases the data so it can be merged into openstreetmap, rather than keeping it bottled up. (To be fair, OSM already has fairly detailed data on Dar es Salaam, whether from this project or someplace else....)

That's meant to be "12 + 3 = 15" (or maybe it's an intentional error to make the thing look more confusing?). The idea behind this particular subtraction algorithm is to reinforce two number-sense ideas: 1) a subtractio
