"Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans. Insects have a high food conversion rate, e.g. crickets need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein. Besides, they emit less greenhouse gases and ammonia than conventional livestock."
"It was not until the Middle Ages that the letter ⟨W⟩ (originally a ligature of two ⟨V⟩s) was added to the Latin alphabet, to represent sounds from the Germanic languages which did not exist in medieval Latin, and only after the Renaissance did the convention of treating ⟨I⟩ and ⟨U⟩ as vowels, and ⟨J⟩ and ⟨V⟩ as consonants, become established. Prior to that, the former had been merely allographs of the latter."
So at Julius Caesar's time, I and J were the same letter that you could write either way.

The following other mechanical calculator also seems to be an important step: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmometer
In general you could look at open source projects that have companies hiring remote people behind them. If you find a good project with a good company behind, work on the project, and there is a good chance that you will be hired.
I also got downvoted in the following comment sometime ago:

where I quoted researchers saying basically that creativity tests are the "...best childhood predictors we have of future real-world achievements..."

> It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.
So no the DMCA is not just about copyright.
The responsibility of GitLab and GitHub is also not to judge if it's "more important" to protect the site owners' businesses or the people going to the sites.
If some sites are running malware, the site owners are responsible for fixing it and not harming the people using their sites, not GitLab or GitHub.
On the contrary if site owners could be harmed by the name of their sites being on such list on GitLab or GitHub, then GitLab or GitHub are responsible according to the DMCA.
So GitLab and GitHub are just acting on what they are held responsible for according to the law.
Disclaimer: I am working as a contractor for GitLab and I am not a lawyer. I took no part in GitLab's decision to censor the list and this is just my own opinion.

"Santos-Dumont later added ailerons, between the wings in an effort to gain more lateral stability. His final design, first flown in 1907, was the series of Demoiselle monoplanes (Nos. 19 to 22). The Demoiselle No 19 could be constructed in only 15 days and became the world's first series production aircraft."
So it looks like the Wright Model A was not the first production aircraft.
* Sir George Cayley was first called the "father of the aeroplane" in 1846... Among his many achievements, his most important contributions to aeronautics include:
Conducting scientific aerodynamic experiments demonstrating drag and streamlining, movement of the centre of pressure, and the increase in lift from curving the wing surface.
* In 1871 Wenham and Browning made the first wind tunnel.
So no the Wrights didn't figured out that curved wings can produce enough power to lift the aircraft and no it was not a first to use wind tunnel experiments.

Yeah, so ASICs that are not produced in big enough volume will not move to 14nm or less. This means that FPGA that can move to 14nm or less, because of bigger volume, may become competitive against those ASICs.
"Pinker has no serious evidence for ..., even though his sources’ evidence for the decline in homicide rates in European countries over many centuries is solid."
And some points in the article are also highly questionable:
"Perhaps most important, the absolute numbers of people who die because of armed conflicts are a first-order measure of the true human cost of violence, and we should never permit the moral gravity of this loss and suffering to be relativized by the juggling of numbers until they all match the same global population in any given year."
This would mean that we can never compare the past with the present...
