the amount of "chance" surrounding the 9/11 event truly boggles the mind. I can't think of any other historical occurence that even comes close

I will continue to use them because things get taken down from archive.org sometimes, or at any rate far more often than with archive.is. I consider it a bug when anything disappears from an archive for any reason.

It lessens the incentive for journos to chase clout and try to inject their "personal brand" into their writing. Personally, I love it.

Things on archive.org get DMCA'ed all the time

I don't fully understand how archive.is operates. They don't remove copyrighted content (which I like, since it provides a useful service), they must have probably terabytes upon terabytes of data in some datacenter somewhere, yet

Just wanted to say that this seems like really good data. Pre-registered RCT with a large n and a very significant measured effect. I kind of wonder how necessary/effective this treatment would be in people who are already enough prote

I see what you mean, I think you must be right

This is super cool, I wish it went more in depth as to how the mechanism works. I assume it contains some kind of camshaft system for each digit that encodes a fourier series? Really beautiful

The parent is the creator of the D language. It is a lot saner than C++ in my opinion, though it's not without its flaws

This should not be necessary in a first-world country. Public institutions should actually do their jobs, or we should stop having to pay for them

So somebody found the terrorist watchlist and didn't upload it anywhere or start a torrent, but instead took some screenshots and gave vague descriptions of the data to journalists? I'd like my reality unmediated, please

No you are right, quanta sucks. Im sure there are thousands of other people thinking of x+1 and scratching their heads

The function you are describing is not continuous, so the theorem does not apply. But yeah, it has no fixed point.

Imagine what it will be like when everyone has a neuralink. They will be able to scan for prohibited thoughts and stop you from thinking them before they're even fully formed in your mind. A world of infinite control and perfect morali

Thanks, I didn't know that. In a situation like that, is most of the danger to a human from bremsstrahlung, or the actual original beam of particles?

I'm not sure I understand - how did the injured man actually place himself in the path of the particle beam? Given that particle accelerators are a sealed vacuum environment? Or could you be harmed by simply standing next to the accele
