I've been making images of old CDs over and the majority read without any problems (dvdisaster), even ones I burned back in the late 90's! The majority was older than a decade and of the +/-180 CDs only +/-10 had a single defective sector and 5 or 6 had multiple defective sectors. Most issues were with Sony Professional CDs (heh). Burning multiple copies on different brands of CDs good for a decade or even two, in my experience. And that's without additional error correction data (which dvdisaster can generate for you). Probably the biggest issue would be if you can still buy a reader in a decade or two.

I follow a few active groups on subjects I like (scorpions, bromeliads, tillandsias, orchids) and I see mostly photos of stuff I like. Posts that I want to reread I save (grey down arrow to the right of the post, save). Also hiding posts you don't like is supposed to train the algorithm. OTOH Flipboard has a similar issue, I keep seeing that "Bedbug" post because people keep flipping it.

Unfollow people who post too much crap.

In March 1960, the call sign WWVB was obtained by NBS for the 60 kHz station. The “B” in the call sign probably stands for Boulder, the site of the original transmitter. However, one interesting theory is that the “B” could stand for Brown. W. W. Brown, one of the designers of the Fort Collins station, was employed as a contractor by NBS when the call sign application was submitted. Perhaps not coincidentally, his initials were W. W. B.

Based on the number of phishing emails I see weekly I doubt people are ever going to learn. Stuff like this is done because it works and has been working for decades.

"The information encoding is realized in five dimensions: the size and orientation in addition to the three dimensional position of these nanostructures,"

IIRC orientation = phase

Custom plastic-based design with a 'slice' feature which allows extra case modules to be added to increase internal expansion space. Each slice adds 2 podule bays at the rear, and two drive bays (one 3.5 inch, one 5.25 inch) at the front

Yeah, so great that you published all those scientific papers. Thanks for your wonderful contributions to science!

And a day later FIRE was announced. To me this was just a nice troll to bring B.o.B. to everybody's attention. Heard about this guy before this week? No? Nor did I.
