This says statistics, i've seen unsourced articles saying that they pull Unemployment Insurance numbers as part of it which are part of the payroll process, but BLS seems to say sampling and surveys.
I'm ignorant of most C64 stuff being an Atari kid, but I did find this pretty impressive (it's a cheat) with seemingly 9 sprites at once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws4twUyt-MY
Not that you are casting shade, but to clarify in defense of a former professor of mine who worked on the FPGA avionics at Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the helicopter was designed for 5 test flights, and completed 72 before the rotor damage. https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2020-perseverance/inge...
Here is a gift to you, I found this on the Internet Archive. it's a cassette dramataziation of Asteroids and Yar's Revenge. I'm not sure how many other people on earth would care fellow Atari-knower, but it's a wonderful little time capsule.

"Free" in English has more than one meaning. this has led to an attempt to be more clear by using 'libre' or 'gratis' loanwords to differentiate (see libreoffice, liberachat), but this isn't universally accepted.
I really enjoyed this game when I played it at Ground Kontrol in 2015 and Two-Bit Circus in 2019(?). Neat data project. I'm kinda surprised they don't add something like Stern Insider app or swipe cards to it, but it's very 80s arcadey.
You are not correct according to Reuters.
"The new schedule also recommends U.S. children receive a single dose of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, rather than a two-dose course. Recent studies have concluded that a single dose is not inferior to the longer course and noted the World Health Organization also backs a single dose schedule."

This apparently is something that came about after the Atari days where games were social activities in bars and home console advertising features boys and girls. When the NES came out, it was marketed in the US as a toy so had to mold itself to the retail store layouts and pick a toy aisle and they picked boys.
In the mobile era and perhaps as early as The Sims beating MYST as the bestselling game, started to develop a more balanced marketing approach.
I was in hollywood, california last night and saw a waymo come to a weird 5 way intersection, stop past the limit line on a red light in or past the crosswalk at the right turn lane and go into it's sign active attract mode. I think they have some more development to do, and don't recommend using such poorly performing software.

There is an explosion of decompilation projects spawning new ports, but was there something that enabled better decompilations? I see it across many retro games.
I had a couple senior FPGA classes with a JPL engineer who had worked on F-Prime, it was awesome to see the project and learn embedded from it. I think he suffered layoffs shortly thereafter when JPL did a big RIF. I'm grateful they put such work into it and make it public, their support is a significant part of the curriculum at the upper division computer engineering where I went.
It's so strange when it obviously hits a preprogrammed non-answer in these models, how can one ever trust them when there is a babysitter that interferes in an actual answer. I suppose that asking it what version it is isn't a valid question in it's training data so it's programmed to say check the documentation, but still definitely suspicious when it gives a non-answer.
Mine had the machines, then ripped them out, over the cost to them the regional bank they deal with imposed and other excuses. Coinstar (some) gift card is the only no-fee I've found in my area, but then you're stuck with a gift card instead of cash.
The glow was done in-camera with a prism, the reflective tape was retroreflective so the light source would go into the prism, bounce off the quartz reflector material and into the camera lens, hence the dust coming off the sticks and the lack of glow in that spot where you see it end-on. The 'roto' was for color I think.
I'm fortunate to live in Los Angeles where we have KCRW and KCSN. Matt Pinfield is back on the air and of course Nick Harcourt was previously of Morning Becomes Ecclectic. Music discovery is enriched by these public radio stations, I hope they can keep going with public radio being so disfunded federally.
Vinegar Syndrome is on film base/stocks that are cellulose acetate, they break down into acetic acid. Films after that period are estar base which is polyethylene terephthalate and very stable for archival. In fact if it jams a film projector it more likely wrecks the projector than breaks, which is kinda bad.
