I think it'd be pretty tough to get a plane's worth of bags from the hold to anything resembling an orderly display within 120 seconds of the first person getting off the flight. Let's assume that the collection location need

What was lame about it? I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds pretty awesome, from the Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Clock )

The fact that it's being served out of Google's servers changes the trust model for the content. End users have no good reason to trust Google with the cached data, but people assign trust to them when they click an AMP link. Ther

I really love the speed of AMP pages, but I don't like the fact that the server request is proxied through Google. This is akin to an ISP injecting their own little optimization toolbar into pages rendered to the user, except that cert

I'm surprised by the author -- I never would have pegged Krauthammer as a math enthusiast. I wonder what the backstory is there.

The thing to remember here is that we gave up some of our liberties at the airport because airplanes were demonstrated to be credible weapons for attacking any location in the nation. Trains and buses (to a lesser degree) do not share that

Sadly, the really-terribly-written article doesn't actually have anything useful to say about the question in the title.

That is often the case in the US, yes. A recent court ruling in Connecticut may change that, at least in that state. Some links: https://www.google.com/amp/mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/08/nyr... http

This is great! I often find myself clicking through to the license file and trying to remember which license text it looks like. This'll be both easier and more reliable.

At scale, a time server's DNS address will likely either be a reverse proxy or a multi-valued A record. The coordination amongst those separate physical servers that are serving requests for the same DNS name would become a scale chall

I'm curious why the clients chain requests but the servers don't chain replies. One challenge would be around server scale -- for the servers to maintain a strict chain, they would need to coordinate amongst themselves, which ca

What sorts of considerations are important for the ceramic coating? I'd assume that the coating is not under the same types of stress as the alloy core, and so thermal properties would be more important. Is that true, or is load as muc

The article was published a year ago; I came across it because I got curious about single-crystal turbines after seeing them mentioned in the comments about the AN-225 story posted earlier today.

It could also be something on your machine, or a malicious ad breaking out of its sandbox.

The article doesn't really describe time crystals themselves in terms I could understand. Wikipedia to the rescue: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time_crystal

Probably the most common example these days is spouses who don't email regularly. Once upon a time, you only got one or two email addresses from your email provider (I'm looking at you, CompuServe and AOL), so at that time it was

I've recently switched my primary browsing back to Safari on my 2012-era MacBook Air. Battery life is noticeably better. I still launch Chrome and FF regularly for development, but my tab-hell lives in Safari now.
