Mass elementary shootings in the US are presented as happening far more often then they do - I think there have been only two mass shootings at an elementary school in the US in the last 20 years, with a total of 32 victim deaths. And remem

This list is by actual deaths during the year, not a prediction of future danger or government policies. The US is on the list this year because of a mass shooting at a newspaper. The full PDF report is much more interesting than the articl

zstd totally dominates zlib. There is nothing that zlib does that zstd does not do better. It’s just that simple. For a given compression speed, zstd will compress the file more that zlib would. For a given compression amount, zstd will com

Glass for the lenses, for one thing. Another is that the force exerted on you head is roughly weight times the distance that weight is from the centerline of your neck. This multiplier makes stuff hanging out in front of your face much heav

@wronghorse, If I'm reading that FEC page you linked to correctly, the only donations listed before his firing were to Ted Cruz and Dana Rohrabacher, neither of whom is even vaguely alt-right. Palmer's big donating spree happene

I’m talking “Alan Sheppard” man in space, not “John Glenn” man in space. Suborbital. Blue Origin can do that any time they want to risk it.

The fun thing about Virgin Galatic is that they already have all their crew/human support tech working, and have been flying with humans for years. All they need to do to be the first private company to put a human in space is just ch

Don’t even get me started on the whitepaper... “The critical insight is that as long as traders expect Basis price to correct [and grow] in the long-term...” which makes a prerequisite out of what they need to demonstrate. And then there’s

Basis was something special. Its algorithm was such that if it ever stopped growing at a sufficient rate, it would explode to zero. And this would remain true no matter how much Basis had previously grown. Every gain against a dollar by Bas

Note that release only gives you an API to some UI elements and to entities (animals, monsters). This is not yet a full Bedrock API and the number of things you can do is currently quite limited. Nice to see a start though!

In our town at least, all of the pediatrician practices that I know about, will not accept a child either did not start with them as newborn, or who moved to the town. This is handled by the front desk, before any discussion of care or vacc

People saw plenty of value in more compute - what they didn’t see the need for was paying an astromical amount more for the same amount of compute to be miniaturized. For example, in 1964, the ATLAS computer went fully online in Manchester,
