Wow, nice find with the evidence right there! Comments like this is why I read HN. The US may not be fighting with troops, but definitely fighting proxy with it's m.i.c. Edit: Do you think no aircraft because they'd have to use U

I found bi-vectors[1] to be a really interesting algebra for graphics. Unfortunately, I've not had much use for this kind of math to be able to really dig in. [1] https://bivector.net/

Photons was only mentioned 4 times at the time of this writing. I appreciate low frequency waves when my eyes are adjusted to those low frequencies. Same as another would high frequency. Is my red the same as yours? My blue is very signific

I think most of these annoyances can be taken broadly from the fact that everything about any Bluetooth experience is just absolute trash. Why does it take several tries to pair sometimes? When paired, why does it sometimes auto-connect and

Cool analysis! Two questions. 1) Will you share the software you used for this analysis? I briefly scanned the article Methodology, but didn't see names dropped. Forgive me if you mentioned it there. 2) Are you hoping to win an Ig-Nob
