"The computers aboard the Voyager probes each have 69.63 kilobytes of memory, total. That’s about enough to store one average internet jpeg file. The probes’ scientific data is encoded on old-fashioned digital 8-track tape machines rather than whatever solid state drive your high-end laptop is currently using. Once it's been transmitted to Earth, the spacecraft have to write over old data in order to have enough room for new observations."

"The Voyager machines are capable of executing about 81,000 instructions per second. The smart phone that is likely sitting in your pocket is probably about 7,500 times faster than that. They transmit their data back to Earth at 160 bits per second. A slow dial-up connection can deliver at least 20,000 bits per second."

From here, IN 2013:

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Greed is good. God is in the details. Artists starve. Religion is big business. Facts don't care about your feelings. And on and on...

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

If Judge Merchan wants us to believe that he genuinely places the good of all others over his own selfish needs, then he should allow Barron to enjoy his big day by ensuring that Shitler remains tied up in court for as long as possible!

Kirk: “I think he should just defy the order and go to Barron's graduation. Get arrested. It's just more indictments, not as if you're already not facing 700 years in federal prison.”

As FactCheck.org and others have noted, Judge Juan Merchan has not yet ruled on Donald Trump's request to skip his criminal trial for his son's graduation.

Read the article, don't just go by the summation above...

USC needs to be publicly shamed for its very opaque and very entitled position of discrimination. By all outward appearances, this wreaks of systemic racism on an enormous private sector scale...

The university had no problem with Asna Tabassum for years - financially or otherwise - and even decided to single her out amongst the 200 individuals exceptionally positioned to be valedictorian, then backtracked because of admitted but undefined fear and loathing of its own accord...

Shame!

USC canceled a Muslim valedictorian’s speech over safety concerns over the Middle East conflict

USC Jewish groups pointed to a five-year-old social media post by her calling for “one Palestinian state” and the “complete abolishment of the state of Israel,” and called that anti-Semitism. The student, Asna Tabassum, questioned the college’s motives. [timesofsandiego.com]

In the history of mankind, there have been 4K religions and 18K gods. Some cannibalized others - and that's not even the most gruesome or appalling of aspects to report!

No god. Know peace. Amen...

This is atheism in a nutshell: one person says, "there's a god." An atheist says, "can you prove that?" They say, "no." The atheist says "I don't believe you."

That's it. That's all it is.

You see, if you took every holy book, every holy book there's ever been, every religious book, every bits of spirituality and hid them or destroyed them, okay, they went away. Then you took every science book and destroyed that, in a thousand years' time, those science books would be back, exactly the same. Because the tests would always turn out the same.

Those religious books would either never exist or they'd be totally different. Because there's no test.

Now do education and the Thirst for Knowledge!
