That was partly because they didn't understand that the virus was airborne, so they took the wrong countermeasures. https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwu...

I'm reminded of the joke that Nicolas Bourbaki quit writing math books when they found out that Serge Lang was one person.

Sounds good, we will have to put you in charge of everything. Besides Landau poles not being science, maybe you can also arrange that set theory isn't mathematics, that free verse isn't poetry, and that hip-hop isn't music.

Nobody has ever observed the interior of a black hole and reported the results to the outside, and nobody ever will (unless GR is drastically wrong). And yet we consider our theory of BH interiors to be basically valid except at the center

Ah thanks, I will check into it more carefully. I've been wanting one and maybe it can suffice without being a full featured tablet.

TLDR: this is a brand of scented candles that get more complaints about missing scene, when COVID infections are high and people can't smell stuff.

Thanks. I didn't even realize that the post had gone up, since I got redirected to an earlier thread with the same link. There is also one about the Wired article that I located this through: https://www.wired.com/sto

Yeah that makes sense. I wonder if it's actually built as two 16:9 pieces somehow.

by throwaway81523 5y ago
Why 16:18? Why not 1:1? Is the shape trademarked by Square or something? Hasselblad used it much earlier, except they called it 6x6.

Article is somewhat mathematically educational but cryptographically not so great. e=35537 is a weird choice: 65537 is more common since it has low Hamming weight, i.e. you just do some squaring and one multiplication. You should not encr

Idris maybe? I agree Purescript's npm dependence makes it unattractive, but it does have some other backends besides JS. I haven't worried about IDE's much for Haskell. They just haven't seened important.

I don't think I'd pursue that approach. The figure they named signalled their expectations. I think it's best to just say you're too far apart and that you're going to move on, and do so. If they want to come bac
