Oh, actually I'm also interested in how you made the levels. Because of the computational difficulty of solving similar things (eg the three-body problem is hard) and you've got several variables to work with, did you just experim

I like it. Only thing I'd change is maybe the stars to be a fainter, more blue hue, and maybe have them as points or subtly x shaped, just to help visually distinguish the ball.

The AG's father, Donald Barr, also [may have] hired Epstein as a math and science teacher at the Dalton School where Donald Barr was Prinicpal, despite Epstein seemingly lacking appropriate credentials [1]. William Barr was either a s

Her point is that this tech was outdated in 2001. Her point is that the people funding and supporting this research were mislead across multiple ways: * misled about state of the existing tech * outrageous and unsubstantiated claims of it

Thank you for clarifying this, and I have noticed and shared the same concern about these articles putting words in Stallman's mouth. Please note, I am one of the people in tech who thinks Stallman should resign from leadership roles f

1) President of the FSF is a leadership position. 2) It would take a staggering feat of mental gymnastics to suggest Dr. Stallman's idiosyncratic role at CSAIL -described variously as "visiting scientist"- absolves him of hav

I don't believe you responded cjbprime's point here at all . To make it 100% clear: the most sympathetic reading of Minksy's defense seems highly implausible: that he noticed and objected to prostituion of girls on Epsteins
