This 17 game thing is silly. Just add an extra by-week and you get the extra game. Yes still just 16 games per team, but the magic number 18 games on TV! Owners: $$$$

December 21st. If you're spending the Holidays with relatives it's the longest shortest day of the year.

What remarkable, and remarkably kind, man. I was honored to know him. RIP Murray.
We're sorry to announce the passing of @NobelPrize Laureate and complexity giant Murray Gell-Mann, one of the 20th Century's greatest physicists – pioneer, SFI co-founder, prophet of the quark.
You inspired so many, Murray. You will be missed.
A tribute:

A nice fact I like: Every matrix corresponds to a graph, and so familiar things (e.g. matrix multiplication) have nice pictures! Another nice fact: joint probability distributions *also* correspond to graphs. They have telling pictures, too. New blog post! math3ma.com/blog/matrices-pr…

GHOST APPLES 👻🍎
After freezing rain in Michigan, apples that hadn’t been picked got coated in ice. Many fell off the tree. Some had their insides turn to mush as apples have lower freezing points. The mush and skin fell, leaving these “ghost apples.”

The only thing the EU cookie disclosure regulation has done is ensure that every site requires you to dismiss at least one dialog before reading.

According to @GilKalai there is a Hebrew proverb that says that "trouble comes in clusters", which is also the reason why #QuantumComputing is impossible. Or is it? Take a look at @QuantaMagazine

Searched #pinterest for "state machine" and got a bunch of pins of US States and machine guns and realized how weird programmers are.

The software to create the black hole in the movie 'Interstellar' is a full implementation of Einstein's equations in 40,000 lines of C++, and rendered thousands of 23-megapixel IMAX frames on a 32,000-core render farm at about 20 core-hours per frame arxiv.org/pdf/1502.03808.pdf

For those unaware, Article Five of the NATO treaty — an “armed attack” on one member “shall be considered an attack against them all” — has been invoked exactly once: by the other nations after the US was attacked on 9/11.

They are wisely keeping him mostly away from London. But there should be opportunities elsewhere for us to “welcome” this stupid, ignorant, illiterate man, whom a minority of similar Americans elected with their ridiculous Electoral College system.

The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now.
