A discrete incident with a defined start, end, perpetrator and location.

(As opposed to a 77-year conflict involving multiple states, wars and actors.)

Now ask me one on sport.

Yes, in terms of lunar geography 1 billion years is recent. Most lunar features formed 4 billion years ago.

Were the Winter Olympics recent? Not to the E. coli living in your gut.

The Late Heavy, as I like to call it. Sounds like a Drum and Bass producer. Anyways:

The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), or lunar cataclysm, is a hypothesized astronomical event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years (Ga) ago,[1] at a time corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth. According to the hypothesis, during this interval, a disproportionately large number of asteroids and comets collided into the terrestrial planets and their natural satellites in the inner Solar System, including Mercury, Venus, Earth (and the Moon) and Mars.[2] These came from both post-accretion and planetary instability-driven populations of impactors.[3] Although it has gained widespread credence,[4] definitive evidence remains elusive.

IIUC "recent" in this article means 124 million years ago.

This is after the meteorite killed "all" the dinoraurs.

Also, North America was joined to Eurasia, South America to Africa, Australia to Antartica, and India was a huge island in the middle of the "Indic" ocean.

Am I right?

This is pretty normal on YouTube. YT added a feature to try different titles and thumbnails and provides analytics for each one to see what the engagement looks like.

This was surprisingly tricky, but fixed! The issue was that short tap strokes were being fed through the stroke-rendering library (perfect-freehand), which applies start/end taper over a configurable length. When the total stroke distance is shorter than the combined taper length, the stroke tapers to nothing — so dots just disappeared. The fix detects tap-like strokes and renders them directly as small ellipses, bypassing the stroke pipeline.

Amazing! And thanks for the insight into what caused it. Thats useful even if just to understand how this specific library works.

It looks like he’s confusing Paul Thomas Anderson with Paul W. S. Anderson. The latter directed Resident Evil, which the author refers to.

OP was suggesting this wasn't a mistake. They are suggesting it's a win for Amazon, even with the backlash, because it frames the technology the way they want to.

That is exactly what I'm saying! I'm saying this was a mistake (not intentional). Read my post again if you are confused.
