Thanks for the link. I couldn't see Woodley in there: where Douglas Bader crashed, the home of Miles Aircraft, and also very close to where I lived as a child. Which led me to this one that might also be of interest: https:/&#x

I think it's just a headline writer thing. Searching for "astronomer discovers" it appears there's often an "extra" word. When it's a plurality of astronomers doing the discovering, less so.

Chapeau for this discovery! Appears to be by a non-professional astronomer, using public HST data, wonderful.

For a second I thought this might be about the theft and recovery of one or more of Munch's "The Scream" paintings. I would argue they are at least more generally well known than the Wilhelm and Howie screams. Then I realise

It looks like the citation of the Pais patent was added by the examiner, rather than by the applicants. Does that make any difference in your view?

Browsing the links in the wikipedia article about the accident https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dee_Bridge_disaster it’s apparent the commission report didn’t stop people dying in similar rail bridge collapses. The desi

For my understanding: Is there a general legal preference to use a phrase like "I have never been accused of sexual harassment or assault by anyone." focussing on accusation, rather than a broader statement like "I have never

Shoehorned in a mention of AI… Did I understand this right: they can do 0 to 1, but haven’t figured out 1 to 0 yet? That’s a big “could”. I don’t like the tag links the site inserts in to the text. If you follow one, you generate a nice e

Others in the thread below have mentioned Jim Keller worked on DEC Alpha. DEC sued Intel for some patents related to Pentium, so even this bit of the history relates back to Jim somewhat.

I had a similar feeling. I think it's because XML relatives HTML and SGML (GML anyone?) go so much further back.
