    Someone could add an approximation range syntax if they derived their own fuzzy dates specification. I've been considering the problem of fuzzy dates for a project idea. Maybe some…

    I work 7-hour days, but I might work 2 or 3 hours during that time. A lot of the time I find the work unbearable and can only bring myself to do it in short intervals. When the tas…

    I wonder how the ASKAP dataset will compare when it's rendered as an image

    Comment #25298668

    Approximation for the ASKAP images with help from Wolfram Alpha, .83 spheres is 10.4 steradians, so 903*70 billion is 63.21 trillion pixels, at ~1.65e-13 steradians/pixel, though t…

    The only thing that gets me is that unlike EI, CERB is not taxed up front, so many low-income Canadians claiming it are going to owe taxes on it next year. I would rather it be tax…

    What is 'UK energy use'? The title should tell what the article is about.

    How can they tax sun collection, that is sickening.

    The title of this article is missing a crucial "in 2 weeks" that actually gives meaning to 6 miles. I can't believe how poorly articles are titled. Qualifying information takes a f…

    I would love a new text entry method using gloves or finger/toe trackers. For recording thoughts while on the go.

    I suggest loading Papier on the new tab page only if it isn't yet open. If it's already open, the new tab page could show frequently visited, bookmarks, and search as before.

    We have no idea how many people think they have to give their email in order to keep reading. I've met a handful of very average people who wouldn't see the "X" or know how to reac…

    I hadn't heard about it till now. I'm not affected because I didn't invest in the feature in any way, or know anyone who did. Yet I can appreciate the "outrage" from the perspectiv…

    I wonder if this keeps people mystified when they visit the news feed, wondering what's beyond the fold and scrolling their hours away.
