Not a terribly important question, but i feel piqued curiosity without question is against forum rules..

i am a <week old member, just noticed my post count still shows zero. I don't have an accountancy OCD but i don't want to be the "new kid" forever..:rolleyes: .. seriously, just an observation more than any real concern.

Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
