Idaho has become the wild frontier of vaccination policy and public health

Some 280,000 people live in the five northernmost counties of Idaho. One of the key public officials responsible for their health is Thomas Fletcher, a retired radiologist who lives on a 160-acre farm near Sandpoint.

The Subway Game (1980)

The Subway Game Copyright © 1980, Peter R. Samson (to home page) The Subway Game was a diversion that developed out of the frequent visits to New York by myself and various friends at M.I.T. In its basic form it requires two participants: an innocent victim, called the Contestant; and a more knowledgeable companion, called the Monitor. With some allowances, the game can be viewed as a simulation of the following scenario. A stranger to New York is going to visit some friends there. He gets a

I want Gemini to be my DJ in YouTube Music

Stephen Headrick / Android Authority Imagine having your very own DJ in your pocket, ready to mix your favorite songs at a moment’s notice. No, not your dad’s 3-5 second crossfade, but instead a completely customized mix that makes the two songs you’re transitioning between meld together like they were designed that way by the artists themselves. That’s the idea behind Apple Music’s upcoming AI-powered AutoMix feature, which is coming with this fall’s iOS 26 release. As a former Spotify user a

The Rubik's Cube Perfect Scramble

The Challenge I was playing with my son’s Rubik’s Cubes and tried to scramble a cube randomly so that no two squares with the same color were side by side. Here’s one way to do it: But I wanted a scramble that looked like a random scramble. No matter how many different moves I made, I couldn’t do it. Every time I separated two squares with the same color, two other squares of the same color would touch somewhere else. Looking for an easy answer, I went to puzzling.stackexchange.com an

Despite the protests of millions of Americans, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced it will be winding down its operations after the White House deemed NPR and PBS a "grift" and pushed for a Senate vote that eliminated its entire budget. The vote rescinded $1.1 billion that Congress had allocated to CPB to fund public broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. In a press release, CPB explained that the cuts "excluded funding for CPB for the first time in more than five deca

The first commit dates from January 2014, and version 0.0.0 was uploaded on Hackage in March 2016. I first heard of Haskell in a course on lambda calculus in 2013.

Instagram now requires users to have at least 1,000 followers to go live

Instagram users now need a public account with a minimum of 1,000 followers to go live on the platform, the social network confirmed to TechCrunch.

Users who don’t have public a

Uber’s Drive to Become the Kleenex of Robotaxis

“To them, it doesn’t really matter who ultimately succeeds,” says Sam Abuelsamid, who writes about the self-driving-vehicle industry and is the vice president of marketing at Telemetry, a Michigan research firm. “If you’ve got a car that works and can drive safely, you’re welcome to come onto Uber and provide rides.” Still, it’s too early to say whether the Kleenex gambit will work. Plenty has changed since 2015. Kalanick is no longer at Uber, deposed by a hostile board in 2017. The company ma

Privacy experts are demanding transparency after YouTube announced it would test using AI to estimate user ages in the US ahead of a wider rollout of the age check system.
