rc_kas··on College Students Just Want Normal Libraries
I'm not talking about cost of the book. I'm talking about studying. I feel strongly that you focus better and study better when reading a paper book. Digital products are too prone to offer distractions that take away from focus.

rc_kas··on Possible detection of a black hole with a mass that was thought to be impossible
> But in 1967, three physicists at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem realized that when the core of a dying star is very heavy, it won’t gravitationally collapse into a black hole. Instead, the star will undergo a “pair-instability supernova,” an explosion that totally annihilates it in a matter of seconds, leaving nothing behind. “The star is completely dispersed into space,” the three physicists wrote.

Does this mean that maybe the big bang was just a unstable pair that did what they describe?

rc_kas··on Cloudflare Network Performance Issues
It's very convenient for me to be able to tell me clients their site is down because half the internet is down, and there is nothing I can do about it.

A smaller DNS service would not make headlines.
