You might, as I do, prefer written sources, but I must recommend watching (even just the first part of) this BBC documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDADy9b2IBM

Really I think you're just describing awe, which as traditionally defined [0] always included (or at least, certainly did not preclude) an element of fear. This seems completely natural to me, but I grew up with a sort of old-fashioned

What would be great is if judiciaries only treated video as admissible if it was cryptographically watermarked in tandem with a globally distributed blockchain-style rolling checksum, to resist tampering (deepfakes or just plain old timecod

I've watched it all now, and I think it's a great dramatic work, well worth seeing. I would also urge anyone who watches it to read some nonfiction around the event; there are a number of recent articles about the series that prov

I am from Washington DC and, while it's true that the President is always accompanied by a security retinue -- for reasons well-founded in history -- it is not uncommon to see members of either legislative body walking around unattende

I thought the quote was pithy, but it didn't quite sound like Orwell to me (who I have read a lot of, though not recently). "What someone else doesn't want printed" is a formulation that doesn't quite mean _truth_;

What’s interesting to me about Minneapolis and other northern cities where there are a lot of cyclists is that they very often have far more people riding to commute or do other practical tasks than any number of other cities with much mild

It's worth noting that Windows Update may also fail to apply the Meltdown/Spectre patch if other conditions aren't met. Some are mentioned on the KB page [1] but they don't mention another common scenario, which is that
