Precision matters, and legos only have a certain amount of precision. Besides that, things like the number of holes in the calendar ring matter. Check out Clickspring on youtube, he's one of the people who narrowed the hole count down

We really need legislation in the US to regulate the use of data... something like the GDPR with enforcement for people who are careless with their customers. As well as strongly regulating sales of data/data brokers, of course.

The reward is the find. No magnet fisherman except the ones on Youtube or Patreon actually makes enough to pay for their magnets. You don't do this to try to make money, you do it for fun, knowledge, and the occasional cool (but not

Think about it... Google could train its AI to recognize malicious behavior for moderation purposes, to recognize astroturfing and manipulation of public opinion (for purposes of stopping it or carrying it out). There's not much value

They haven't innovated in years. The only real changes to reddit have been a cosmetic re-work and release of an app for mobile use. Well, that and the API changes that drove away something like a third of the users.

My experience as well. Much depends on whether your systems were running BSD-style RPC services.

Best of luck. My pay peaked in 2001. If subsequent job moves and raises had kept up with inflation, I'd be making just under $150,000 a year today. As it stands, the job market is so poor (and my skills need updating, to be honest) I

They'd be mining the brine in which the lithium is dissolved as well as constructing geothermal plants to take advantage of the temperature of the liquid. Construction is already beginning. https://www.usatoday.com/stor

The Salton sea is the home of a huge lithium deposit, and it's unlikely that anything but geothermal and lithium mining will happen there in the near future. Certainly not "restoration" to what it was when it was accidental

For those not noticing, all the posts were made in 2021. I'm regretting I didn't get more done during the pandemic, but then I was a "critical" worker and I didn't get to stay home.

I think it's much simpler than you're proposing. It's just greed and a desire for control. The neoconservatives who began their campaign shortly after the civil rights battles of the 1960s achieved a great deal during the Rea

Undoing a lot of what Reagan did is needed. Taxing Billionaires is tricky... they can manipulate data (like anyone else) to show their actual income as 0 dollars. I'm more worried about what would happen to the money thus produced... t

What everyone following the stuff online seems to forget is that the replication attempts and samples so far are based on a leaked, apparently incomplete version of the LK99 paper. Supposedly, a University in Taiwan is working to validate t
