“ Men and Women wanted for a hazardous distributed computing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful without caffeinated beverages. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.” (adapted from the apocryphal newspaper ad made by famed explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton)SETI@home is down?

"Get your circle of people involved. It isn't all about the fastest server farm (though those are important), it is about reaching people and making them a part of something bigger even if they only have a crappy slow machine at home. It is part a public relations outreach as we make people feel a part of something that they will then maybe financially donate to, and/or elect science friendly politicians who will help. I can't wait for my new seti shirt to get here, and remind people that this project is still around after 20 years and hopefully get more people in the tent." - Unixchick https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83777&postid=1990998On the initial 144 Tees produced, some are still looking for good homes: B/W, M L XL or 2XL https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84069 (check availability with Uli while making your request) $13USD/tee (at cost) + shipping (country dependent)

[SETI@home humor] Richard's Universal Solution: "I also had problems accessing this website, with - apparently - the Cloudflare service failing to get me a secure connection and giving me a 'forbidden' plain http connection instead. So I went out to the pub, and it was fine when I got back."
Free-DC: "Thanks all for the great response to donations. Happy to say that the total was just over $2700, so I have more than enough for the next 18months or more. After reference from one of the users I'm also looking very closely into a dedicated server (or 2) at a local datacenter. Waiting on some responses on specs. I'd be able to pay for the full year outright easily. More to come" https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php 2019.04.28

A common language - 04/30/19 By Emily Ayshford - Physics professor Jason Nordhaus is working to reduce barriers to STEM for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.When Jason Nordhaus teaches physics at Rochester Institute of Technology, he doesn’t just consider how to best explain topics like thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.Much of what he thinks about involves the physical space of his classroom: He arranges his students’ desks so everyone has a line of sight to him. He positions his body to ensure that students can see both of his hands. He displays important information on the board or on a PowerPoint slide, and he always pauses his lecture to give students time to read it.That’s because many of Nordhaus’s students are deaf or hard of hearing. Nordhaus communicates with them by both speaking and using American Sign Language. https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/a-common-language?utm_source=main_feed_click&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=main_feed&utm_content=click
