I just did the numbers and this assumption looks to be completely right.

Wow, this is so powerful. And so, so sad. Today, or tomorrow our arXiv will show up - it cites 2 out of the three physicists, and I knew nothing of their stories.

Wow: 101! Your post caused me to reread this Physics Today article about her father: "They were looking for a literature student suspected of being part of the French Resistance, but the ENS’s deputy director, Georges Bruhat ... refused to divulge his whereabouts" pubs.aip.org/physicstoday...

A new empirical method is used to conduct the first observational investigation of Kolmogorov's −5/3 law in the airflow above the ocean While −5/3 was generally valid, deviations were strongly link...

DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Y2K seems like a joke now, but in 1999 people were really freaking out

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

#DigitalEU

A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.
