The potential to work this result into an icebreaking conversation is strong..

Evil, and banal at that.

There is also no option to hide your phone number from your profile if you used your phone's Zoom app to log in once. This is very disturbing since now my private phone number is displayed for my students. I contacted Zoom about this twice already, but they didn't even bother to reply.

Or, you can just listen to online radios, such as Argentine Tango Radio.

Social dancers are also making an attempt to utilize large video conferencing apps such as Zoom to connect members of the dancing community, who are dancing at their home while being quarantined. Here you can read about experiences from the world's first live virtual Argentine tango milonga, but I'm sure similar attempts will also pop up in the salsa, bachata etc communities.

Of course this idea is not as new as it had been suggested; the physical plausibility of sending observers into Kerr black hole so that they survive the trip have already been thoroughly investigated by other authors in peer reviewed journals (i.e. "Relativistic computers and the Turing barrier" by István Németi and Gyula Dávid, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1016%2Fj.amc.... ) in the, I shall say thoroughly sci-fi movie worth, context of general relativistic hypercomputation.

... no more, unfortunately. The fascist Orban regime just ripped the research institutes out from under the Hungarian Academy of Sciences three months ago. The livelihood of researchers, such as Attila Krasznahorkay, under a new umbrella organization with more direct political control, is now in a limbo. Thanks European Union, by the way, for letting this (and similar moves, such as kicking out Central European University from Budapest) happen without any sanctions.

Let's hope the replacement will not skip in the middle of the tracks anymore, a major bug Apple is unwilling to address in iTunes for years (and removes apple discussion board forum posts if someone brings it up)!

If only Apple also upgraded iTunes to a decent music player that does not skip randomly in the middle of a track to the next song..

"no individual brand is as predictive of being high-income as owning an Apple iPhone in 2016,"

Seriously? Owning a Bentley is a worse predictor of being high-income than owning an Apple iPhone? Are we sure there are no further qualifications here?

[...] a McDonald's Quarter Pounder might be known as the McDonald's 113-Grammer, [...]

No, it would be called "Royal with cheese".

With iTunes, for instance, they have been unable to fix the most mind-boggling problem with its core functionality - playing music - that on occasion it stops playing music in the middle of a track and skips to the next one. Screencast evidence.

... to challenge the constitutionality of the Espionage act, and hope that, for the right reasons, the Supreme Court will ultimately strike it down. Unfortunately this implies several years of legal battle for a Winner... but she may not have another choice anyway.

Reality is the victim of journalistic sloppiness.

...the Autonomous Precision Landing Navigation System might come in handy. It combines camera images with elevation maps using methods “employed by cruise missiles for decades,” although you don’t hear a lot about safe landings by cruise missiles."
