Only living people can win the prize. If they die between the announcement and the ceremony they still get it posthumously. I'm pretty sure that has happened now and then.

JLR has been paralyzed for the past few weeks due to a cyber attack so the news is that they're emerging from that.

A lot are trekkers rather than climbers if that helps. Their environmental footprint is much smaller.

If they own houses that is public info.

WTF. What could possibly go wrong. Flip phone here I come.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in "one born every minute" territory. Thanks.

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

I found the wikipedia article mostly incomprehensible but it says a few things. You are probably better off asking on MSE or Reddit, sorry to say. Wikipedia's math reference desk has slowed down a lot in recent years though that's possibly another place to try.

At least here in the US, lots of mobile phone plans have free or cheap international calls, depending on the countries involved. Example. Some home landline plans also have that. So far that has been enough for me on the few occasions when I've wanted to make an international call. If more frequent, I'd use a VOIP provider, maybe Twilio (I'm sure there are others too, but I know Twilio supports this and has a decent API).

VOIP providers will often also sell you inbound phone numbers in the destination country, if you want the other person to be able to call you from their landline without it getting rung up as an international call for them. Those aren't always so cheap, but there are obvious use cases.

Oh I see. Yeah DVD drives generally use the same SATA interface as hard drives.

If you mean a 2.5" drive (laptop sized) then yes you can generally do that. 3.5" drives are usually 1" thick and won't fit in a slim DVD drive slot.

Yeah I'm interested in the topic but am not up for watching an almost 2 hour documentary.
