Notre Toyota était Fantastique

WordPress est un logiciel participatif, normalement chacun peut reprendre un habillage et l’adapter, rien n’est “déposé”.Cela dit nous avons décidé de ne pas le mettre non plus en open-source. On s’est donné du mal pour faire un truc joli et on ne veut pas que ce soit repris n’importe comment par n’importe qui. Nous avons donc préféré nous dire que nous filerions l’accès à ce format d’habillage à des dessinateurs dont nous connaissons/apprécions le travail !

Après, personnellement, je considère la partie WordPress comme le travail d’Arnold et je le laisse complètement décider de ce qu’il veut faire avec !

Human teleportation would take so long, it’d be more like a death ray

We’re still nowhere near teleporting even the smallest, visible-to-the-naked-eye objects, but that didn’t stop a team of researchers from calculating how long it’d take to teleport an entire human being. It’s very, very long. Students from the University of Leicester, David Starkey, Suzanne Thomas, Declan Roberts, and James Nelms, have calculated how long it would take to teleport a human. The length of time is dependent on bandwidth, and more bandwidth requires more power. So, the more power used in the process, the less time it would take to teleport. Since we can’t teleport humans — or even a paperclip — just yet, the researchers performed a fair bit of guesswork that checks out in theory.

If the bandwidth used to perform the transfer were around 30GHz, it would take 4.85×1015 years to complete. Le Long Voyage.

J.K. Rowling Should Try the Voting Algorithm

Rowling recently confirmed that she was the author of a book she had published under a pseudonym, which spiked in sales after she was outed as the true author. Perhaps she was doing an experiment to see how much luck had played a role in propelling her to worldwide success, and whether she could recreate anything close to that success when starting from scratch. But a better way to answer that question would be to strike a deal with an amateur-fiction-hosting site and use the random-sample-voting algorithm that I've written so much about, to test how her writing stacks up against other writers in the same genre.
