Product of all primes
Incremented won’t factor
Thus a larger prime.

 
I wonder if it’ll catch on…

Berkeley library fire

Filed under: biking, sfba — jlm @ 13:39

I just got home from biking to the Berkeley Central Library, to find the police and fire department there, the library closed off. The BFD was non-urgently sweeping water out the doors, while the evacuated library building had its fire alarm still going. So, it looks like there was a fire there, extinguished by the sprinklers. It didn’t look like there were any injuries, but I worry about the damage to the books, hopefully it won’t be significant.
