The Web thing which lets you drag a country or economy over any other and see how Mercator stuffs up their relative sizes is brilliant for getting a sense why people want this. Like a lot of "colour the empire pink" schooled peopl

A little jarring to be dipped into an active discussion in medias res but it made sense given the thread is back to 2018. I might even be in the prehistory of this because I'm an aggrieved android tablet user who has to rely on 3rd par

Yes, that occurred to me after I posted. Obviously they believe strongly there's some novel causes at play. Soil borne bacteria, fungi/mould, pesticide, genetics. They wouldn't publish otherwise. And, given climatic shifts we

A disease which targets latinx? seems more likely its field workers, inadequate hydration and bad fluid hygene overall. Could be culturally diet influenced as well. My urologist after I had my first oxalate kidney stone said "you can d

"On first looking into Chapman's Homer" by Keats being from 1816 I would argue the "most famous" is a contestable quality. It's a current, contemporary, notable translation. She's been working on another f

I recommend "The Master of Go" by Kawabata, 1951. It's a beautiful story of the change of power at the apex of the Go ranking system. I read it the same year as I read "The Glass Bead Game" by Hesse published in 194

The local community pushback predates hyperscalers. I saw anti DC roadsigns in people's gardens in Culpeper, VA doing work there during the last presidential election.

... cracks .... cracking ... cracked .. cracks.. there's a remarkable similarity to the life of these units. They worked, until they didn't. "ah, but we're much wiser now" is of course in this too.

If enough toxic traffic flows through the IP ranges and ASN, the various un-regulated blacklist and block systems are going to take notice. I work with people who run systems in the $5 and we'd be at a significant disadvantage if the r

Needs to be a LOT more overt about where your keys to your specific financial institution live, and what permissions you overtly and covertly gave them in this. Sure, the front-end promise is "read only" but can you explain how th

Strong city-country divide. City yes. Country No. At best the Yes vote was weakly pro by numbers in the city. Nothing like overwhelming. Probably, very strong influence of the fishing industry, both from sentiment and as a lobby: the EU wou

Unsettling vibes to style this as the Nostromo "Mother" begs "what is the real purpose of this mission" question.

I'd be interested in access to real drives capable of reading real tapes, to get archival data off my tapes. And, DAT format. If the emulation aides in FPGA or small device coding to make modern interface bindings to older devices and

Many people, including myself, tend to look at .arpa and think "oh yes, thats PTR queries" but forget the DNS doesn't have a global rule that ONLY the PTR query can be sent to the domain. It's just a domain. You can put

Single source systems provider and integrator and a doom date? Could be a hack or a design flaw. I await the root cause analysis.

This is distraction. The WH has learned how to avoid substantive debate by spraying shit and seeing what sticks. Treating this as important pushes real news off the front page and to some extent the complicity of the click receiving news pu

The critical thing is the high entry bar. You have to weed out the loonies to make something like this work. If it goes into dispute it could become Jarndyce & Jarndyce.

Thanks! 40+ years ago I worked in a marine biology lab as a dishpig for seawater analysis and we had fun times when the annual clear out found a gallon jug of benzene at the point of panic about benzene being replaced by toluene.

Why were they working with an unauthorised potent neurotoxin? MIT didn't "permit" this, although you could ask how student supervision allows it to arise. Is there some interesting aspect which danger aside might motivate t

the article gets my up vote for at least admitting some bird scientists think a lot of this may be projection (one I am also fond of making) and that crows are a lot less into us than we might think.

US fed investment in Australian rare earth mines was announced this year. I'm unsure if it's more than loan guarantees and a purchase agreement. There was discussion of a floor price but it focussed on the distorting qualities.

Why was it quicker? Better antenna & RF analog circuit design? Shorter software path to token recognition? Single vendor vertical integration? Protocol overheads?

Yes. I also believe this motivation but a counter argument was put to me by Mike Lesk in the mid 80s. Bell did serious experiments on library query systems and the casual helpful, verbose ones were only useful for a brief period in any libr

So I can get bold at a cost of shift* to get the star. Or I can do ESC enable-this-mode-option and then press a single key. I'm struggling with this. If it's cheaper in keystrokes to type the codes inline why enable the mode? Th
