It may seem like an attack on queer books, but as far as I can tell none of the straight books seem to be trying to explain how minors should get access to adult dating apps to meet older men, or showing obscene graphical depictions of sodomy involving children.

I think if librarians were buying "straight" books with the same explicit and adult content and putting them in elementary, middle, and high schools, the same parents would be complaining about those too.


The hell kind of library are you visiting?

What queer book with that content was in libraries?

I suspect that whatever example they had in mind, it's a passage that is descriptive of someone's personal experience while not being prescriptive in telling the reader step-by-step how to follow in their footsteps.

What? Mein Kampf and Anarchists Cookbook didn't even make the list at all? Something's fishy here

Not necessarily. PEN describes a ban as a book being removed from a library. If Mein Kampf was never in the library, there's no Mein Kampf to remove.

The actual headline here is sort of misleading -- the 4x price increase is over the past 3 months!


I mean I wouldn't say it's misleading, it just says what the graph contains. It's important that it shows 18 months so you can see how flat it was before


Did he really need that crazy probe or was that a joke? Normal probes that come with Fluke 179 couldn't do it? I guess mine says 1000V so not rated for it. Do they even make 4000V handheld meters? How are you supposed to do the calibration?


I'm sure you could solder together some 1kV 1MΩ resistors, but if you can buy a 10kV probe designed, built, and tested by people who do that every day, betting your life on your DIY creepage allowances may seem unappealing.


If you've ever looked at the admin panel of even a minor league, single page Wordpress site you'd probably recognize it as a major risk for any organization instantly. So many of the plugins look like spaghetti, with most you're trusting some random name to not be malicious. Unsurprisingly there are 60,000 CVE related to WP. I get that we all use a dozen node packages that we can't reasonably verify, but WP seems so much more wild west than that. I guess i's fine if you are a low value target, but a commercial CMS is not terribly expensive, and should be mandatory for any government org.


Interesting claim that the reactor doesn't need water and can be built away from the coast. I thought all reactors used steam to turn a turbine to produce electricity. Something special here?


Many reactors are built far away from coasts, they need water in general, but artificial lakes, or rivers are enough.


This type of reactor would probably use super-critical CO2 instead of water to transfer the heat from the reactor to the turbines, so no water. The design is safer that way.

The way water might be used in this design is to make a synthetic fuel instead of electricity. In that case, you are swapping out the turbines for a process that extracts CO2 from seawater, uses electrolysis to crack the water and then a FT process to make a (renewable) hydrocarbon fuel (you might even use some feedstock to make it more efficient).


Can't even blame gen z staffer for this. What's the youngest you could reasonably be to get this one? 35? Also not having Tom in top 8 is a big miss


Because to steal bitcoin by reverse engineering a private key from a public one you need to be able to factor a very large number. Currently the highest number they have factored using only quantum computing is 21.


Tried "Images of german shepherds" and not one on the page of 16


Yale has an amazing one, worth looking at: https://lux.collections.yale.edu/


Is that a multi-modal search? Or just textual matching?

I couldn't find any examples that couldn't be explained by simple text matches.
