I was going to call my Representative, and express my disapproval to my Senators for being on the sponsors list, when I actually read the act. I really don't see what the EFF is talking about. It seems like a very straightforward bill

Having known many people that believe vaccines can harm kids, yes, it can be a 100% real belief, not some cover. That's why you recognize that it would not go well to attack this with physical force - the strength of people's reac

I use Jupyter notebooks all the time for acquiring, cleaning, and exploring datasets. Occasionally these notebooks mutated into tools for more than just one off exploring. It's always felt a little awkward to use them for more day to d

In general, the founders thought Greek style democracy was a horrible system of government. Inevitably incompetent, bloody, unjust, rash, and would quickly self destruct. When the French Revolution happened - with chaos, purges, wars, and

The other articles on this clearly say the the pilots started following the procedure and disabled electrical control of the stabilizer, then later stopped following the procedure and hooked it back up to the electrical controls. This Ars a

Sounds like a blast! Are you restricted to to a single game piece set? This might be hugely easier if you can keep state between turn analyses. IE, if a white rook disappears from A5 and some unidentified white piece appears at C5, then it’

For comparison, your standard police/fire/medical digital radio in the US sends voice at 4.4Kb/s. So this is a approximately a third of that.

That seems quite wrong - maybe got garbled somewhere. Boeing’s official instructions to to all operators after the Lion air crash was to follow existing stabilizer runaway procedures by flipping two switches in the center of the aircraft

Yes, it was in the official police report. The driver was watching "The Voice" on Hulu at the time, and "...looked up just 0.5 seconds before the crash, after keeping her head down for 5.3 seconds while going 44 miles an hour
