Recently, a group of world-leading scientists
called for a halt on research to create ‘mirror life’ microbes

and what the risks of it continuing could be.

I would like to start a bi-weekly meeting for people who would like to try out #Linux. My thought is to set up in a nearby coffee shop for a few hours and allow people to try out on a few laptops as well as have a couple of live distros on USBs to try on their own. Has anyone on here tried something like that out? And what advice would you give.

TWENTY SEVEN series! Man. South Park continues to be pretty cool too.
Still both fresh and yet familiar. I remain in awe of the consistency of the show over more than half my whole life now.
Stupid cock and fart jokes with an absurd setup which on a second level is mentioning and mocking the true absurdity and violence of real life.
Satan being Trump's lover in a rehash of the Sadam Hussain skit is lovely.
They seem determined to try and get cancelled, but haven't managed that in 27 years. Maybe it's a small-dick joke that'll finally do them in?
Still got half of this season to watch. Seems like it's mostly bi-weekly now? Or every episode is delayed.

When the Lisa team was pushing to finalize their software in 1982, project managers started requiring programmers to submit weekly forms reporting on the number of lines of code they had written. Bill Atkinson thought that was silly. For the week in which he had rewritten QuickDraw’s region calculation routines to be six times faster and 2000 lines shorter, he put “-2000″ on the form. After a few more weeks the managers stopped asking him to fill out the form.

America’s external voice had expanded to nearly 50 languages,

AP is ending its weekly book reviews, beginning Sept. 1.
This was a difficult decision but one made after a thorough review of AP’s story offerings

Unfortunately, the audience for book reviews is relatively low and we can no longer sustain the time it takes to plan, coordinate, write and edit reviews.
