I did have to guess. If I'd have known how many mines there were, I wouldn't have though. https://imgur.com/a/idfj1my edit: I'm wrong. Thanks steve.

From what I understand, DDG uses bing as a primary source, but they also pull data from numerous other sources, including their own crawler. https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so...

Ceres considered a dwarf planed because it hasn't cleared the neighborhood around it's orbit, not because of it's size. I don't think the suggestion is that this object is planet IX, it's that this object provides

I use a kbp v60 (see manual[1], switches 1,3,6 on), caps lock is remapped to an fn key, then there are arrow keys both on the left and right hand. I haven't had any trouble getting used to it, and its wonderful not having to move my ha

So, I'm not a lawyer, but the 10th Circuit ruling doesn't read like this is over to me, it reads like this may be a temporary reprieve for Zen magnets. > As a result, the FDO is vacated, the Initial Decision is reinstated, and

I made a new account about a week or so ago. Their new user form looks very much like you need an email to create an account, but you can just press continue without adding one, despite there being no indication of that. If I hadn't al

Not sure where this title came from. The article linked is "The British Once Built a 1,100-Mile Hedge Through the Middle of India". It's about 19th century Britain trying to enforce their taxes through the use of a living wal

As a non-local, I had to look it up, but presumably you're talking about the Mission District ("The Mission") and South of Market (SOMA) neighborhoods in San Francisco, correct?

Probably because that's called forgery, and if they were caught doing it it would be a much bigger deal than not getting their money from that transaction.

I did exactly the same thing, but I'm not totally happy with it. Good for fooling around with, but not convinced I'd want to push something using it into production without a bit of further investigation.

Just looked that one up, it's book 3/3 in a series, first two being Singular Sky and Iron Sunrise. Do they all touch on this topic? And if not, does Accelerando stand alone well enough to be read without the other two?
