Bad enough my family pretty much requires that I have an account on that damnable website in the first place, but I tolerate it just enough at this point. The only reason I (and I suspect quite a few others) still tolerate it is because (for now) I still maintain a modicum of control over the experience (viz. ad-blockers and such via web browser).

Is it private information if you walk around shouting your name wherever you go? Or showing your face? Is it not just a short leap from that to your cell phone doing that for you?
Agreed. If you had told someone in 1960 that there would be a radio network broadcasting the current whereabouts of basically everyone, they would think the commies had taken over.
“I don’t believe in science,” said Hughes, whose main sponsor for the rocket is Research Flat Earth. “I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that’s not science, that’s just a formula. There’s no difference between science and science fiction.”

Well, we're talking about roughly 1.4 billion flashes per year, and they're not evenly distributed around the planet. As to the power of each flash, I don't know how you could get good readings and keep the sensors intact... only 10 to 20 percent of the bolts reach the ground so we need disposable balloons or something to get actual voltages. Getting amperes or wattage has to be an estimate. So, now we know that rare isotopes created... but is lightning also creating common isotopes? If so, how much and what kinds? There could be WAY more going on then these first clues indicate.

Well, when I think about running a program the first thing that springs to mind is "where did it come from?" Not seeing a name in the readme or here in your post does not inspire confidence in running your code. There is a "The New Castle" listed on Moby Games, so are you Dan Gahlinger? Or is that another game? http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,303284/
That only makes sense. My problem was with the confusing headline, the way it reads, there is something wrong with their arrangement, and I just don't see that...

No one escapes Stallman! I had no idea he had a band... He sure seems to stay busy https://stallman.org/
On topic, I do love Audacity. Just the ability to make a ringtone or alert sound at the drop of a hat is priceless... not to mention the actual work you can do with it. Good job Audacity team!
OK, "Mozilla engineers have borrowed yet another feature from the Tor Browser" sounds like they are ripping off some projects better design features, but to be fair, the Tor Browser is BUILT on Firefox to begin with. That being the case, how is this not just common sense on the part of Mozilla to use features of the derivative to make their own browser better? Tor is still using the Mozilla Public License for their browser so I just don't get the slant of the headline...

It's a good start on a bulls-eye, which is just what Mr. Hughes needs...
