However, nothing about climate change was actually deleted. The website was replaced wholesale. What is rational about considering the act of not posting new climate change content on a new website within hours of the inauguration of a new

I don't know about cars, but I had this happen with a boat that I sold in Florida. The buyer is supposed to register the boat. The registration sticker did not expire for another year. So, they didn't bother to pay the fees. When

That's an understandably mistake. The US dollar has increased significantly against the Krona since the US elections last month.

Is that true? Regulatory bodies get their authority from congressional legislation. Can a president unilaterally tell the bureaucracy to stop doing what they are mandated to do by law?

There is a lot to be said for really knowing the order of operations. I write a lot of C code and this looks very clear to me. More parenthesis would just add noise from my perspective.

Interesting. I don't see generic Kalman filter implementations too often. Thanks for sharing. I've always found that determining where to put outputs from disparate sensors as opposed to just filtering a single observation like th

My 4th grade teacher knew Walters and brought him in to speak to our class. At 11 years old, I didn't believe a word he said. Later, it turned out that the dead grass circles matched the diameter of his patio table and the UFO model ha

Be careful doing that. A smart thermostat isn't exactly trivial, and doing it wrong can be bad.

This is painful to read. It leads to a statement like the following. "The foremost scientific authority claims that the Earth is flat. There is no need to be critical of this scientific finding. All opposing viewpoints must be shunned,

If the can't pay, then they should assign their patents to Vizio. Really, the big law firm footing the bill on contingency is just as bad as the patent troll shell companies. They have an identical profit motive.

In the context of the previous two comments, it was stated that present-day mainstream right-wing speeches call for violence. If so, I must have missed it. I did not intend for my statement to reflect on the actions of Malcolm X.

The references for that Wikipedia statement are both from the last five years. One reference is an article titled "Only white people can be racist." That's hardly an unbiased definition of a much older term. Since 1933, the d
