I know of one: the U.S. Naval Observatory near Flagstaff, Arizona. I lived in Flagstaff in 1979. I knew the astronomer and visited him at the observatory at night. He showed me a t…

For $70 a month? Holy guacamole! Where are you, that you get such good rates? We’re lucky to have fiber, but we pay $60 for 100 mbps. (Edited to correct cost of fiber as part of te…

What does "kernel" lisp refer to? Is it cl-jupyter, a kernel for Jupyter notebooks?

I don't have data, but I do have anecdotal evidence to contradict #1. I live in upstate NY, where farm land is cheap (in relative terms). We are seeing an influx of Amish, who can …
