"This month’s launch is the first time that India has tested a missile with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, known as MIRVs, first developed by America in the 1960s. These are small warheads, crammed atop a single missile, each capable of striking targets hundreds of kms apart from one another."

@benfulton @carnage4life Correct, the real beginning is Facemash. IIRC it even appears in The Social Network movie.
2003 report from Harvard's student newspaper:
"The site was created entirely by Zuckerberg over the last week in October, after a friend gave him the idea. The website used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine Houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the “hotter” person."

"India’s GDP per person grew briskly under Mr Modi but had risen half as fast again under his predecessor, Manmohan Singh of the Congress party, who also ruled for 10 years. Stockmarket returns, too, have been lower in the past decade than in the one before."

@julieofthespirits @carnage4life And yet millions of people buy flight tickets or DisneyLand/World tickets, each ticket associated with a name/ID. There is not much scalping or complaining that the tickets are not resellable.

@julieofthespirits The original post from @carnage4life is about scalping and attempts to prevent it. Scalping is not a problem when tickets are not resellable.

@jackerhack I have the Anbernic RG35XX. Quite nice, small enough to just pick up and de-stress whenever there are a few minutes in between tasks.

Microsoft continues to dumb down the UI of Outlook. It wouldn't matter for general email users, but every feature they kill from "classic" Outlook handicaps people who use email for work.
In the latest update to the "new" Outlook Windows app, the threading "lines" of a conversation have been removed from the UI. There is no way to see where a sender forked off in the conversation tree. It is just a series of emails like Gmail's conversation view now. 🤦

The simple analog ingenuity behind the common water heater seen in most US homes. Perfect video by @TechConnectify ⭐️
This is the kind of video I love to watch on Youtube. It has just the right amount of depth and the perfect kind of simple whiteboard diagrams.

I watched Training Day after seeing this review by Peter Bradshaw. Met expectations fully. 👌 Denzel is on fire here (probably his best performance?), so is Hawke and the movie is so tight from start to finish that I never felt like checking my phone in between.

"How easy it is for bold liars to fan terror. As Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler’s air chief, summarised: ''All you have to do is tell [the people] they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.''"

"The gap between the [returns offered by stocks and bonds] is the “equity risk premium”—the 4.7 percentage points a year that stocks have historically earned over bonds."

"Last year the size of passive funds overtook active ones for the first time. Index funds trace their origins to the idea, which emerged during the 1960s, that markets are efficient. Since information is instantaneously “priced in”, it is hard for stockpickers to compensate for higher fees by consistently beating the market."

"The fields of atoms in an antiferromagnetic material point in opposite directions to those of their neighbours, cancelling each other out perfectly."
"In altermagnetism, neighbouring atoms could end up with spins pointing in opposite directions if the atoms themselves were rotated by 90 degrees compared with their neighbours."

Google Podcasts is being killed. I had chosen this as the podcast app when I started on my iPhone.
A lesson for me to never rely on any Google product - they seem to kill everything.
