I was going to suggest that isn't the fact this information can now be seen by the public mean it is by definition unclassified but I see there are different levels of classification. I was under the impression "classified"

The formula for (Roman) concrete was lost for centuries or the Romans didn't share it which also makes sense if you're a militaristic society why give away the secret to concrete? And it's only recently the secret of Roman c

Retiring but I hope not disappearing since it would be a shame to lose all that momentum to inspire kids, or anyone.

I guess what I'm asking is say I have a device that can generate a stream of numbers, integers, nothing fancy. I want random integers with no limit to the size returned, a truly random number and by that I mean a true random integer w

OK so what is random.org doing that they can claim it's a true random number generator (TRNG)? I looked at the page but didn't see any explanation, maybe they don't say, but as others have said there's no way it can be

That's weird I've never heard of anyone eating dead lobster, anyone around my region wouldn't consider eating a dead (hardshell) lobster even if it died in front of them. I know years ago only the poor kids ate lobster, if y

Not to condone such an intrusive government but I've read that a lot of personal info is public record but with the result of, for example, being able to track diseases with great precision in families over decades. I forget whereI read it

You just described my town. A lot of ex-hockey goons are police, three cars go through the red light, people don't signal turns not even police, lines on the road are ignored, people park anywhere, tailgaters everywhere, cars without licen

When my friends and I discuss such things I like to emphasize that even if you as a pedestrian or cyclist have the right of way but you're hit and killed your objection is invalid since you're dead.

I live in Canada in a small town with a fairly large (per capita) Lebanese population (Tweel, Haddad, Rashed, Jabour). We have bad drivers here but I am willing to bet we exported the behaviour to Lebanon not the other way around.

I can't help thinking that Tesla as successful as it is for a young company would be more successful in European countries where short driving distances and high fuel prices are common. Canada and the US are lumped into one vehicle market

Maybe it's the culture that makes it work in India although a billion people and so many levels of culture it's hard to say if that even true. Doesn't the UK have a huge problem with generations of families on welfare who never work? I can
