I interpreted it as people making up stories so that they didn't have to face the truth. Or maybe the newspapers used it to write about things that couldn't be written.

I definitely like that film, especially the acting and the music, but I think that, as with most material that covers that era (arts, history, journalism), it focuses on the middle and the upper classes. The poor get a footnote: what happen

I'm sure they must share some infrastructure, especially the small local providers, but after the fire there were a dozen vans parked outside, each putting up new cables. So at that point, each one has its own cables.

I have a second fiber connection and found out recently that both fibers come along the same route and when a fire took out a utility pole, I lost both connections. I then found out that all providers bar one (there are 5 or 6) come along t

If you take all 53 8 bit primes, you can use modular arithmetic with a residue base to work with numbers up to 64266330917908644872330635228106713310880186591609208114244758680898150367880703152525200743234420230 This would require 334 bits

I make it very clear to those around me that no question is too stupid to be asked and nobody is going to be reprimanded for asking basic questions. I once had an awful manager (a terrible human being overall) who wanted to censure people f

Apple has turned computers into luxury items. They are not simply computers, there is some status and image projection involved. As a hacker and tinkerer I could never justify the cost of purchasing one of their machines, but I see people a

In recent years I have been going less and less to banks. 20 years ago I would go monthly to pay some bills. Nowadays, I must visit a bank once or twice a year tops. My manager frequently sends me messages, but invariably he is trying to se

In Brazil, you can identify who was driving the car and they will get charged with the fine and get the points on their licence. You can do it all using an app on your phone. It's really simple. I don't know what happens if the ot

I'm currently reading Heretics by the Cuban writer Leonardo Padura. The plot centers around a Rembrandt stolen from a Jewish family that tried to flee to Cuba in the 1930s and a big part of the story follows a young Jewish artist that

I'm really anticipating what the World Cup will look like. Sure, there will always be die-hard fans that will show up not matter what, but with so many teams, I bet we'll see empty stadiums for some matches.

Your comment made me think of the Japanese. They have a highly industrialised society, but they also value greatly hand-made products from food and clothes to woodwork and houses. And they also like to emphasise how long it takes for someon

I used them a lot in the 80s and 90s and I don't ever recall losing data. Over the course of time, they will degrade, but I'm pretty sure a disk can last ten years. The last 5.25" floppies I managed to read had about 30 years
