Lower-case was not common on printers and terminals in the 1950s and 1960s (and into the 1970s).

LKAS = Lane Keeping Assist System.

Actually, the collection work took place around 2005-2010. I wrote the first draft of the paper in 2012, but didn't submit it for publication until 2017.

Have you looked at Tailscale for server-to-server communication?

Very little leaked out of the float, since gasoline has lower density than water. And after an expedition they pumped the gas out of the float into storage tanks.

This was written by Don Walsh, who with Jacques Piccard, descended to the bottom of the Challenger Deep in 1960. It explains many engineering details.

First built 70 years ago, it descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 1960, and found the wreckage of the USS Thresher in 1963.

The article you cite says "Therefore, there is no significant gap between titanium and carbon-fiber-reinforced composite to create galvanic corrosion. This means that commercially pure titanium and its alloys are completely resistant to galvanic corrosion when they are coupled with carbon composites." This seems to be the opposite of what you are asserting.

Robert W. Taylor, who brought Larry Roberts into Arpa, had other things to say about Bob Kahn: https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10270201...

Terraforming Earth.

That’s what David Boggs said about Ethernet at an early (contentious) standards meeting.

Setback thermostats were invented a century ago — not digital.

"Leonardo da Vinci is the name he has given to one of the 125 “moon phases” in his Moon Phases project—a project that will, among other things, deliver 125 small sculptures via SpaceX rocket and Intuitive Machines lander to the lunar surface later this year."

I flew on a Douglas DC-6 and a DC-7 in 1957 -- they seemed quite modern to me at the time, despite having propellers.

ARPANET dates back to the 1960s.

"U.S. Representative George Santos was sworn in as a Member of the United States House of Representatives by the Speaker of the House on January 3rd, 2023." -- not possible, since no Speaker was elected today. The page was quickly retracted.

The only Nest I've used was at a vacation rental we stayed in once a year for a number of years. That thermostat was horribly confused by the new guests with different behavior every few days. And after a years' absence I always had to search the Internet for instructions on how to use its "intuitive" UI.

In 1972, I worked on a project at the Center for Research in Management Science (part of University of California, Berkeley) developing an APL-based timesharing system. We rented time on Resource One's SDS-940 to do our development work.

They weren't losing as much in the past as they are now.

> which is why it took 20 years of further research to go from Lisp 1 to Scheme.

Actually it only took Peter Landin a few years. For example see:

P. J. Landin, The Mechanical Evaluation of Expressions, The Computer Journal, Volume 6, Issue 4, January 1964, Pages 308–320, https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/6.4.308

Wirth designed two languages before Pascal: EULER and Algol W.

I’ve had a domain (at Godaddy) for 28 years with no privacy protection and no particular problems from bots/scrapers.

For the record, Alexander Stepanov's original focus for the Standard Template Library was generic _algorithms_. Of course, he provided generic data structures ("containers") too. See http://stepanovpapers.com .
