those 3 links are effectively from a single source, Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, who hasn't practiced as an MD for what looks like 20 years. She makes a living out of that miracle diet. She's anti-vax and hasn't published any

They approved the vaccine. The general expectation is that they released the approval after reading relevant information. They have 329,000 pages of information, so it can only go 2 ways : They either had enough people to already go through

which looks like a grammatical error "Moi, la mer, elle m'a pris" should have been "prise" if the narrator were a woman. And even in the generated sentence, some verbs imply a male narrator (emporté and ramené)

While everyone is focusing on the picosend part of this, I’m more impressed by the neutron detection. Electrically charged particles sound much easier to detect, let alone with any kind of temporal precision

When someone “swears under the penalty of perjury” something that is inaccurate, and the legal system does make it simple to apply that penalty, there’s something wrong with the legal system.

If you have enough ram to keep the current state of your computation, you probably have enough disk to push it to, several times over (for obvious reasons, you should never overwrite your latest snapshot with the most current data). If your

I don't understand how the inability to export data complies with GDPR. If a EU citizen decides to use wix and creates a site there, aren't they entitled to all of the data they created, and then one should be able to do anything

you mean versus having a product that loses money ? Uber was losing between $1B and $5B a quarter when they IPO'd. In the last quarter of 2020, Uber lost close to $1B, and they're still valued at $108B, with no real long term pla

Does that still apply if the DB is in WAL mode ? according to https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat2.html I'd say "no", because it sounds like the journal file might be necessary if the DB dies unexpectedly

As a non lawyer, what really gets me annoyed is the fact that lawyers never seemed to be punished for bringing totally frivolous claims. Rarely do the plaintiffs, but I don't think the lawyers ever do. I think that would push said lawy

I think the intended simplification is : (sin⁻¹(cos⁻¹(tan⁻¹(tan(cos(sin(9))))))−9)⁻¹ -> (sin⁻¹(cos⁻¹(cos(sin(9))))−9)⁻¹ -> (sin⁻¹(sin(9))−9)⁻¹ -> (9−9)⁻¹ -> 0⁻¹ -> 1/0

you can just represent those as a pair of real numbers, one for the real part, and one for the imaginary part. As long as you only (recursively) apply exponential and trig functions on those numbers, I believe you'll stay within the re

Dunning-Krueger effect maybe ? Seriously, there’s been literally hundreds of blog-hosting websites. If you really thought none of them were backed by a DB, I’m not sure what to say. It’s not like “optimizing DB calls” is an original idea. I

Can we please change the meaning of “high temp superconductors” to “material that start being super conductors and high temperature and low pressures” ? Everyone agrees that these records don’t mean anything in term of direct applications.

I think you’re missing the point. Soixante-dix becomes 6A, since 6x is « soixante » and A is « dix » Then, 7x becomes septante. For example, 7A becomes septante-dix
