I also read the announcement (and FAQ, and other pages) but was still hoping someone would comment on what it is exactly.

(I did guess along the right lines at least, but wasn’t really sure)

I think predicting the end of money is extremely optimistic.

Oh, yeah, if they love it in the episode, that doesn’t make sense.

I was following that. Nate was saying 71.4% chance for Clinton (just checked again) when basically all of the rest of the media was treating it like 99%. Effectively he was the one suggesting she might actually lose. (Even if it still didn’t seem likely)

Just to add to your point, as far as I can find, the entire European Union is only about 4.3 million sq. km.

If Spain were added as a 51st US State it would be the 3rd largest, between Texas and California. Same with France (largest in the EU), but it’s much closer to overtaking 2nd place. I had no idea those countries were so large.

Still, we have 50 of those country sized areas.

I buy it.

Sure humans tend to integrate music into nearly everything we do, but even here on earth as far as I can think of at the moment it’s just us, birds, and whales. I’m sure there’re a few more examples, but the vast majority of life on earth (including other sentient life) doesn’t have much if any appreciation for or ability to create music. (Dogs howling back at us somewhat rhythmically in YouTube clips is at best a borderline case.)

The further pondering about the arts for the species in question is anyone’s guess I assume. I don’t remember this episode.

I don’t see evidence in the article that it even is ‘their software’ being discussed here - just a framework they are suggesting for compositors to have new functionality (regardless of GPU brands).

It even says “They aren’t going into this alone but at this year’s DisplayNext Hackfest it was also backed up by AMD for going a similar route.”

Rate or dmg?

Seconding Annihilation. Was going to suggest it if nobody else did.

Something fishy about that office.

Oh yeah, I should get to bed soon.

… Is that the Smith Tower?

(To see it on Android I shared the link, and from the share dialog I could open it in ImgurViewer)

What show is it?

Ok, good, that makes sense. I was getting worried for a minute.

I don’t get the downvotes on this - it is important and disgusting news, and hopefully if enough people see it then Sawant will be booted out of politics, not just the Seattle council.

I think that would only be likely to work on the original image with full metadata. Once imgur or whatever has processed it that would be gone I assume.

Hmm. As an overuser of commas myself, I better try to tone that down.

What is a legal height?

In my opinion Polaris B and Polaris Ab (it’s actually a three star system!) don’t count as ‘The North Star’ because they contribute almost nothing to the visible light seen without a telescope. Without Aa there’s just no north pole star at the moment.

But that’s interesting about the age being uncertain. I’d use the age of the merger as the age of the star anyway unless it didn’t add much mass (but in that case it would have been a short lived giant anyway…) which would still likely put it under the 420 million years mark.

Support it Here if you would like it to be a real set.
