Edit: Carson was found Oleg Shakirov's findingsby Oleg Shakirov: alljohnny.com, communicated at: twitter.com/shakirov2036/status/1746729471778988499, earliest archive from 2004 (!): web.archive.org/web/20040113025122/http://alljohnny.com/, The domain was hidden in plain sight, it was present in a not very visible watermark visible in the Reuters article screenshot! The watermark was added to the CIA to the background image, it is actually present on the website. In retrospect, it was actually present at on the expired domain trackers dataset, but the mega discrete all second word made Ciro Santilli miss it: github.com/cirosantilli/expired-domain-names-by-day-2015/blob/9d504f3b85364a64f7db93311e70011344cff788/07/05/02#L1572

What follows is the previous

The fact that the Reuters article has a screenshot of it, and therefore a Wayback Machine link, plus the specificity of the website topic, will likely keep Ciro awake at night for a while until someone finds that domain.

Some text visible on the Reuters screenshot:It is unclear however if this text is plaintext or part of a an image.

Some failed attempts, either dry guesses or from DNS grepping dataset searches:

Searching the Wayback Machine proved fruitless. There is no full text search: Wayback Machine full text search, and a heuristic web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/Johnny%20Carson search has relevant hits but not the one we want.

Another attempt was to search for "carson" on webmasterhome.cn which lists expired domains in bulk by expiration day, and it search engine friendly. It contains most of the domains we've found so far. Google either doesn't support partial word search or requires you to be a God to find itso we settle for DuckDuckGo which supports it: duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Awebmasterhome.cn+%22carson%22&t=h_&ia=web Adding years also helps: duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Awebmasterhome.cn+%22carson%22+2011&ia=web with this we might be getting all possible results. Ciro went through all in 2011, 2012 and 2013 but no luck. Also fuck en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carson_City,_Nevada and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carson,_California :-)

Let's search tools.whoisxmlapi.com/reverse-whois-search for "carson" contained in any historic domain name. 10,001 lines. Grepping those, no good Wayback machine hits for those that also contain "johnny" or "show". Data at: raw.githubusercontent.com/cirosantilli/media/master/cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/tools.whoisxmlapi.com_reverse-whois-search_carson.csv in case anyone want to try and dig...

Let's also search the fortuitously timed 2013 DNS Census.

The proper precise definition of mathematics can be found at: Section "Formalization of mathematics".

The most beautiful things in mathematics are described at: Section "The beauty of mathematics".

When it exists, which is not for all matrices, only invertible matrix, the inverse is denoted:

Experiments that involve sequencing bulk DNA found in a sample to determine what species are present, as opposed to sequencing just a single specific specimen. Examples of samples that are often used:

One related application which most people would not consider metagenomics, is that of finding circulating tumor DNA in blood to detect tumors.

OK, now we're talking, two liner and you get a window showing bounding box object detection from your webcam feed!The accuracy is crap for anything but people. But still. Well done. Tested on Ubuntu 22.10, P51.

Sometimes you are really certain that something is a required substep for another thing that is coming right afterwards.

When things are this concrete, fine, just do the substep.

But you have to always beware of cases where "I'm sure this will be needed at some unspecified point in the future", because such points tends to never happen.

YAGNI is so fundamental, there are several closely related concepts to it:

Nobel Prize of Mathematics.

The Nobel Prize of mathematics!

That 15,000 canadian dollar prize though, what a joke! That's what you get when an impoverished scientist, and not a rich industrialist, creates a prize!

Microwave only found applications into the 1940s and 1950s, much later than radio, because good enough sources were harder to develop.

One notable development was the cavity magnetron in 1940, which was the basis for the original radar systems of World War II.
