There is a phork: https://we.phorge.it/

Try: "This costs $2.00".

I would speculate that since GH covers fees for sponsorship, they've decided Paypal's fees are too steep

"Abstract: The Names of All Manner of Hounds is a unique list of 1065 names for hunting dogs (running hounds, terriers and greyhounds) found in a fifteenth-century manuscript that has recently been sold into a closed private collection. The present article offers a critical edition of this unusual text, which has never been published before, preceded by an introduction that contextualizes its contents in terms of the hunting culture and the milieu to which they belong. ..."

Yeah, the paper provides good insight into the phenomenon. Doug also gives a really good presentation on the same material: https://youtu.be/yL_-1d9OSdk

Going back to study homepage here https://privacystudy.cs.princeton.edu/ there is another update, now from the lead investigator, that includes the following paragraph:

"Second, our team is prioritizing a possible one-time follow-up email to recipients, identifying the academic study and recommending that they disregard the prior email. If that is feasible, and if experts in the email operator community agree with the proposal, we will send the follow-up emails as expeditiously as possible."

Did this study send automated emails in such volume that they can't work out how to send an apology without triggering spam protections? Or did they send email and not record it? What is he saying here?

I guess this counts as novel and non-obvious then:

> One embodiment of the present invention may be a system including a security scanning device through which objects may be passed, having a proximate end and a distal end, a plurality of trays, and a plurality of tray carts adapted to receive the trays, wherein the plurality of trays are provided in a first tray cart at the proximate end of the scanning device, and wherein the trays are adapted to be passed through the scanning device at the proximate end, and wherein the trays are received in a second tray cart after passing through the scanning device at the distal end of the scanning device, and wherein the second cart is adapted to be relocated to the proximate end of the scanning device.

heh. If you overflow the date past the past about year +/- 250000 you break the website and it has to be reloaded (in Firefox at least)

I found this article from 2018

Nearby Peel ON has a drone unit and probably flies similar equipment to York

You can see a little more detail on the TSB incident page, this is CADORS report 2021O1096: https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/cadors-screaq/rd.aspx...

I was curious too. The FBI provides nationwide numbers for 2019: ~268k robberies, of which 16% occurred at a residence, so ~43k. [1]

The National Institute for Mental Health says that ~24k suicides are inflicted with with firearms in 2018. [2]

Hard to figure out how many robberies might have been "resolved" by an armed homeowner, but I note the FBI says that there were only 334 "Justifiable Homicides" by civilians using firearms in 2019. [3]

Thanks for that link!

re the brailers: Those are close, but the one I was shown was smaller; truly pocket sized. This was ~20 years ago.

I doubt they are really sold anymore, because a small handheld tape recorder is easier for "notes" if you are blind.

I can't seem to find a picture online, but a blind person once showed me a "pocket brailer" that was a sort of sliding stencil that could emboss crude braille on thick stock with a special stylus. It was his equivalent of a notepad.

Maybe stencils were made for the Port-A-Punch to suit different jobs.

Cool. I wonder if this was useful in forestry because the punch cards were quite sturdy, compared maybe to a clipboard full of forms, or field notebook.

A little more detail from the cited article: "The personnel of each crew includes a forester, a crew chief and a tallyman" Later: "All records are in code: Mastery of the code is a large part of the preliminary training..."

Is there any particular reason this was posted?

Facebook will "memorialize" your account and hand moderation over to someone you designate.

Come to think of it, you would think getting someone declared "facebook dead" would be more common as a malicious act.

They say the transition temperature is 1.4 Kelvin, so I would guess that a new type of superconducting material is exciting, but this particular material does not hold much promise as a high-temperature superconductor.

Sure, but it is concerning that

All the assembly workbenches are external, doesn't count in my mind.

You're right, FreeCAD can handle the basics nicely. I was coming at this with my experience from university, where I don't think FreeCAD is good enough yet.

I want FreeCAD to be better; I financially support the development in a small way.

Does FreeCAD handle constrained assemblies yet? You can't kneecap students while making the argument that their participation will make the tool better for someone else, maybe, in the future.

CAD is a bad place to make this argument. FreeCAD is the closest thing to commercial 3D parametric CAD, and it is still missing some key features. Further, teaching FreeCAD to engineering students would be a detrimental; the engineering profession that students graduate into has no appetite for open source CAD
