With all the important capabilities that need to be in a doc processing suite, you decided that FancyShinyIcons was what matters?
What I want, and would have hoped most users want, is improved workflow and an absolute minimum of changes to the interface. Why learn a new set of icons when we just finished learning the last set of icons? Why deal with commands getting rearranged in Ribbon submenus? Let us do our work and just facilitate interfaces and filetype conversions.
"non-profit foundation formed by the academics with backing from hedge fund Pantera Capital Management LP"
Right. Non-profit.
They won't be holding any pre-mined coins. Nope. Not a one.
Serious question: why wouldn't a bank, which primarily wants to use its blockchain to make secure transactions, start out by loading its network with all the "coins" it wants? The bank, I would have expected, does NOT want new coins in the system. It just wants to use the coins as tokens of data(actual funds) transfers.
I would prefer a dual-OS system, so that I may use my thumbprint as usual for regular phone tasks, but also if I choose to enter into a sort of root access [to my life, not the OS] then I would indicate that via an on-screen slider, button, or even a physical button combo, which would prompt me for my password.
You beat me to it. (Full disclosure: I'm a high school classmate of Alan Sokal). There've been several precedents for this sort of spoof, including IIRC a bot-generated paper or two that were accepted by one journal or another.
You don't *train* for a job ( if you're running a college correctly) - you teach the students **how** to learn new things. And BTW the need to teach students how to communicate clearly has been present for a couple hundred years. it's hardly a NewThing in education.
So far as I can tell from the source, this material is not in a stable state, meaning release the pressure and the structure falls apart. However, that is not the case with all solid structures. For example, it takes a lot of pressure to form a diamond crystal out of carbon, but once you have this "seed" crystal, there are chemical techniques for growing the crystal under much less demandin thermodynamics. (also true for Ice-9, but only in fiction, sadly).
Thus -- one of these days maybe this kind of research will produce a structure that is both superconducting and stable after the initial formation of the (presumably crystalline) material.
I remember buying the USGS 15-minute (that's distance, not time) series of maps around Durham, NH when I lived there in the 60s. Because Pease Airbase was a military base at that time, no buildings or elevation information was allowed to be plotted on the map. However, it apparently was ok to plot vegetation (green) vs. non-vegetation (off-white, applies to roads, buildings, etc) over the whole airbase. Didn't take a genius to find the airstrips, the main control buildings, the family housing developments on-base, etc.
Stay away from Tesla's then. You just have the fob with you. You walk up to it and it unlocks (and the handles pop out, You get in, put it in gear and drive, the handles retract as you start moving. At destination when you stop the handles pop out., you get out and walk away. And the handles retract again locking the doors. All in the fob.
Both the unlock and lock feature can be disabled in the car's operation menu, leaving only a physical button push on the keyfob to lock or unlock the car. RTFM, already!
I achieved this overflow with FORTRAN on a DEC PDP 11/70 back around 1974. My whole college ran on the one machine, and occasionally the overflow would feed me cool stuff like chunks of grade reports.
Just dropping by to mention that, while existing fiberoptic networks have index of refraction around 1.7 (so signal speed is c/1.7) , there is a relatively new thing referred to as "holey fiber." It's essentially analogous to microwave hollow guides, with the hole pattern sized to match the TE/TM modes of the injected light. The speed thru these waveguides is close to the vacuum limit.
A good workable definition of pi based on integers is 355/113.
FWIW, using gmp and Rmpfr with 200 (binary) digit lengths, comparing 100-digit representation of pi to 355/113 gives an error of 2.7E-7 . Aren't you glad you asked?
Given the melting point of the alloy (90% platinum/10% iridium - 1790C), that would have to be one hot fire.
True, but in all seriousness, a reasonbly hot fire would increase the evaporation rate of metal atoms (a real problem now, albeit over longer time periods), fouling up the official standard anyway.

I prefer to rely on the Many Worlds Interpretation.
But first we have to identify the gene that enables World-Walking.
PS Surprised nobody's yet pointed out one of the main difficulties in setting up a Moon Base: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
No Selenium.. on the Moon. That's ironic.
Don't you mean it's "selenic" ? It's not ferric funny.
The real problem is for the IT slaves working night shifts to cover US time zones, which no time zone tweaking is going to fix.
Well, if you shifted over to Eastern Standard Time , the problem would be solved /s
Unless you plan to injure the player yourself, of course.
Tonya Harding, is that you?
PLENTY of available land in Colorado!
If you don't mind the alternating droughts, floods, wildfires and plagues of insects.
That last one is just about gone

So, which spreadsheet program does this guy use to organize and manage his collection?
Yeah, but only if they can get a man on the moon by the end of his term, which is ludicrous.
So you're saying NASA needs to incorporate a P100D into their Mars rocket?

If there's no communication with the far side of the moon, how will they know if the plant is growing?
Well duh, they'll wait to see the roots breaking thru the near side. Then it's time to transplant and re-pot.

I suspect this is not just a matter of adding admin accounts with a fixed password.
It won't be as simple as "cat /etc/passwd", no.
You bet it won't be. It'll take /etc/passwd stopthisnonsense
