This blog post discusses the small but complex switching power supplies that helped make the AGC compact enough to fit onboard the spacecraft. In related news - the power supply on my PC burned out again the other day
OK, that was fiction - I don't actually use a PC. I just whisper to the hamsters.

The supposed grievance? Allowing talk attendees to challenge CEO Robert Grant as he tried to pitch them on so-called quasi-prime numbers and "Time AI™." I'm sure that will change their minds

No idea.
I accidentally leaned on the spacebar and arrived at this link[^], and I never got back to read the article.

Lest anyone be fooled into thinking 'quasi-prime' numbers is a legitimate mathematical concept (emphasis mine):
Grant's presentation, entitled "Discovery of Quasi-Prime Numbers: What Does this Mean for Encryption," was based on a paper called "Accurate and Infinite Prime Prediction from a Novel Quasi-PrimeAnalytical Methodology." That work was published in March of 2019 through Cornell University's arXiv.org by Grant's co-author Talal Ghannam—a physicist who has self-published a book called The Mystery of Numbers: Revealed through their Digital Root as well as a comic book called The Chronicles of Maroof the Knight: The Byzantine. The paper, a slim five pages, focuses on the use of digital root analysis (a type of calculation that has been used in occult numerology) to rapidly identify prime numbers and a sort of multiplication table for factoring primes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

How can a number be quasi-prime? Either it has multiple factors or it doesn't.
|
|

That reminds of someone who posted an article hear earlier this year or late last regarding some factoring algorithm he had come up with. He was quite arrogant about it and obstinate when no one fawned over him.

A man accused of murdering his girlfriend in southeast China was caught after facial recognition software suggested he had tried to scan a dead person’s face to apply for a loan. "Hello Mr. Yakamoto and welcome back to the GAP!" (apologies, kind of gruesome - trigger warning and all that)

As fortunate as this one scenario is, I don't think the Chinese surveillance state is something I'd want to live under.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I knew the end of Agile was coming when we started using hockey sticks. Time for someone to write a Spry Manifesto?
Or time for Waterfagile?

It seems this article mentions Agile in an attempt to get attention.
The following prognostication the author makes about future apps seems to be the real point:
From article: In many respects we're leaving the application era of development - applications are thinner, mostly web-based, where connectivity to both data sets and composite enterprise data will be more important than complex client-based functionality. This is also true of mobile applications - increasingly, smart phone and tablet apps are just thin shells around mobile HTML+CSS, a sea-change from the "there's an app for that" era.
The client as relatively thin endpoint means that the environment for which Agile first emerged and for which it is most well suited - stand-alone open source applications - is disappearing. Today, the typical application is more likely a data stream of some sort, in which the value is not in the programming but in the data itself...
Yes, yes, it's all data now. All you need is Excel and you're good to go. No need for apps to be written anyways.

Like with so many things, proponents didn't realize that the Agile Manifesto was descriptive, not proscriptive, and described self-formed successful groups.

The allegation isn't from space. The allegation is from Earth, and was made against someone that is currently in space.
Precision in speech is a lost art...
Here's another example from Fox News:
"Atlanta attorney allegedly killed man with Mercedes after golf ball hit his car, prosecutors say"
I'm confused. Who owned the Mercedes, the attorney, or the golfer. If it was the golfer, did the attorney kill the golfer simply because he had a Mercedes? Is Mercedes the attorney's wife, a prostitute (or both) that was with the golfer? So many questions, simply because of a poorly written headline...

Indeed, it is.

Right. It should probably have read "first allegation of a possible criminal act from [in?] space".
