Trump released documents that confirm Russia tried to interfere in the 2020 election to hurt Biden. It says Russia tried to "orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal" and push narratives about "voter fraud resulting from mail-in balloting"

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …

Happy Gotcha Day to Izzy! She came to live with us on July 11, 2020, and it’s been six years of sweetness and love. She was too scared to come out of her crate when we picked her up from the rescue van and too scared to walk up the front steps to our house. Now she is the sweetest dog and completely comfortable in our house. (Yes, the bangs are new. She’s on a medication that causes some dogs to grow more hair.)

Ok. I have to accept that I have a problem. Despite a massive cull a few months ago, my current Firefox tab count, across 4 windows, has crept up to 2020. This madness has to stop. Problem is that for each one I want to close, I have to load it and look at it to make sure I can handle letting it go. I may be some time. Wonder where this activity would fall with regard to our national 'GDP'.

Ce qui est intéressant dans la décision, c'est que la justice française s'aligne sur une classification faite par la justice allemande il y a 6ans (BGH Urt. v. 18.06.2020, Az. 4 StR 482/19). Le cas allemand était encore moins claire, car la volonté n'avait pas été relevé avec la même clarté. Selon le BGH, il suffisait que l'automobiliste était indifférent au sort des autres.

[Bill/David Carradine:]
What Kent wears, the glasses, the business suit... that's the costume that Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak, he's unsure of himself, he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.

Both solar and wind power now produce more of the world's electricity than nuclear.
More importantly, they're the growth engines, ready to finally make a dent in the amounts of coal and gas used for electricity. And in the emissions arising from that!
