An adjustment to the famous Drake Equation could radically refine estimates of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy. Drake was an optimist?
|
|
|
|
|
But just in case the updated formula is wrong, we've still got water...
|
|
|
|
|
Just remember, none of the terms in the Drake equation are zero or we wouldn't be here. On the other hand, maybe one of them is zero because as a species we certainly aren't intelligent.

This brings to mind graffiti:
Q: Is there intelligent life on Earth?
A: Yes, but I'm just visiting
All terms of the Drake equation are therefore still non-zero.

I can't remember the man's name. Black guy went on Joe Rogan and said a bit of crazy.
But poking some of the info, he's one of the only other people I've heard say that 0 does not exist. That's been my tinfoiliest of hats theory for a good bit. Even further, integers don't really "exist". Some cultures reflect that. All apples aren't the same, so basically, what's the point in counting them. At least, I think that's their take.
If the perfection of integers is an abstraction that isn't actually any part of the observable world, I think it's possible they're both the best and worst things mathematics has. Like it tangled itself up there early on and that's limited us or something.

Over 58,000 unique websites from around the world are vulnerable to data breaches and even complete takeovers according to new research. We'd be lucky if tens of thousands aren't vulnerable to data breach
Tens, even.

Whew! I'm glad I only visit non-unique websites!

That would be Mr. Peabody and Sherman for the youngsters out there.
Not sure which was better, Mr. Peabody's puns at the end of the episode or Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story.

It’s 2024, and somehow, there is still a misconception that .NET cannot be used to build .NET UIs on Linux. It's The Year of Writing .NET Linux Apps

Why would you need .NET for a CLI?

 UNO does support GUIs in Linux, but true about Linux folk.
