Studying billions of objects at once is so fetch! ...okay, we'll stop trying to make fetch happen.
The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will image billions of stars and galaxies across the entire Southern sky, night after night, because it's what scientists call a “survey telescope”—but what does that mean?
Survey telescopes map the cosmos using all-purpose images, rather than targeted observations — like choosing a wide-angle lens for your camera instead of a telephoto lens.
With these all-purpose images, scientists can study many different things using the same data set.
Over the course of its decade-long survey, Rubin will capture every part of the Southern sky nearly a thousand times, in more detail than has been possible before — creating the greatest cosmic movie ever made.
The federally funded organization behind the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program confirmed that its contract to support the system will expire on April 16th.
Today, METU students gathered in front of the Rectorate and invited the appointed rector to resign.https://i.redd.it/qk7cpip3h1ve1.jpegPosted by floamivy
@xarph Please do introduce yourself when you happen by! If you don't happen to wander by my table and I'm elsewhere, that is, LOL. I'm horrible at remembering people outside of the Bay Area Discord. I think the only person I remember consistently is @overeducatedredneck. LOL
Can't wait for VCF this year. I need some good feels already.

Senator Van Hollen is going to El Salvador to try to aid Abrego Garcia. I reiterate my suggestion that people send a few bucks to Van Hollen’s campaign to make it clear that this the sort of bravery and action we expect and and reward. [adding donation link secure.actblue.com/contribute/…]

I"m finally getting around to watching Daredevil: Born Again ...
... and it's making me reflect again how much pop culture is basically fixated on "the chaotic, crime-ridden streets of NYC / [big-cities-in-general]" ...
it's as if the cultural imagination got completely frozen in the crime peak of the early 80s, and can't move on
man alive, crime in NYC today is -- in the real world -- lower than in much of the city's history, and lower than the national average
Just a reminder: Vulnerability Lookup isn’t just about finding CVEs. It supports the full chain, collection from multiple sources, continuous distribution, and allocation within a coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) process. 100% open source.
Vulnerability-Lookup facilitates quick correlation of vulnerabilities from various sources, independent of vulnerability IDs, and streamlines the management of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure ...
The Global CVE (GCVE) allocation system is a new, decentralized approach to vulnerability identification and numbering, designed to improve flexibility, scalability, and autonomy for participating entities.
While remaining compatible with the traditional CVE system, GCVE introduces GCVE Numbering Authorities (GNAs). GNAs are independent entities that can allocate identifiers without relying on a centralised block distribution system or rigid policy enforcement.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.
