In my first job out of school learning about flash memory and learning that the difference between a 1 and 0 was just how much charge was trapped, with a threshold (or multiple for MLC/TLC/etc), that was when I learned its abstraction all the way down to the very 1s and 0s we’re paid to make dance.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Indulging people's exaggerated fears makes everything worse, and most reporting on crime is that. I thought your magazine was supposed to have smart things in it.

My mom fell asleep in the theater taking me to The Matrix as a stupid kid. And I always wondered how that was possible...til at the age of 37 I sat down in my seat for a post-10 PM sold out showing of One Battle After Another and instantly turned into this fucka

The human mind’s grasp on statistics is tenuous enough as it is; I am not sure it can survive the rise of short-form crime video content

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

On September 7, 2008, 54,000+ fans packed into Dodger Stadium to witness an epic duel between Randy Johnson and Greg Maddux but both pitchers were scratched before the game. Their replacements were Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw!

And they face off again tonight!

The two greatest evils known to mankind, A.I. and the person directly in front of you in line at the post office, have finally teamed up. We’re done.
Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

A friend of mine met Joe Strummer backstage at some show decades ago and talked to him briefly, and then years later ran into him and the first thing Joe did was touch his shoulder and have him roll up his sleeve to see his united steelworker union tattoo again.
Superman has Bill Clinton’s (and other great politicians) superpower: when you’re talking to him you’re the most important person to him in the world, and he will remember you 20 years later. The difference is that Superman doesn’t instantly forget you once you’re out of his line of sight.
The fact that #Superman, in the current movie, addresses Malik Ali (a falafel vendor who he’d only briefly met) by name is evidence to me of something I’ve long suspected: That one of Superman’s powers is a super-high Dunbar’s number.

It’s completely rational to bet on the in-game over for Siakam points, it’s called Pascal’s wager.

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.

Just learned something new.
Yes but if you don’t know your alphabet and are but a humble carpenter with only knowledge of ascending hardness of wood types, Philly is the grid system for you
If you were caught, hooded, and dropped unceremoniously in a random part of Manhattan or DC or the like, you could not only easily find your way home but plan a reasonably efficient route back without recourse to landmarks. And that's why cities with learnable grid systems are top tier
