The extrapolations being made from this article are ridiculous. The idea that the small elevation increase will aid in slowing ice movement is simply disproportionate from reality. Ohio is still rebounding from the last ice age, this is a process that occurs over thousand year time spans. We are melting the ice magnitudes of order faster than the rebound can occur.
If we manage to melt all of the ice on Antarctica for centuries, not only will Antarctica rise a mile, but the continents in the norther hemisphere will be sucked inwards so that the volume of the spheroid remains constant. Most of the southern and central US will once again be seabed in 100,000 years. If Antarctica is rising as fast as they say, then the sea floor of the northern Atlantic and Pacific are likely already sinking. Crust cannot rise in one place without compensation elsewhere. The volume of the earth has to remain constant.
I was just looking into starting a company because I have an opportunity to pursue a $1M/year contract. I found myself inundated with ridiculously bad insurance "offers". Initial quotes for insurance came to $35k/employee for three people... more than 10% of my projected annual revenue for the first year. I know there are other options, like co-employment companies but have not finished working through these details yet. CPA and legal fees are a drop in the bucket compared to insurance for a small business that has actual employees. There is a forcing function here that is not accounted for in the statistics presented in the article and I believe that the growing number of people working for startups as "independent contractors" offsets some of the perceived differences.
Cheap bulk stainless flatware is $0.50 a part or less. I can see this being just like shopping bags where you either show up with your own flatware or buy flatware when doing things like eating at food trucks. We would have flatware in our desks at the office and scattered in our cars. Another minor greening irritation.
A favorite niche food of our ancestors was fresh water mussels. Some hypothesize that the reason we are less hairy than other apes is due to the amount of time we spent getting in and out of the water. Once an area of a creek was harvested, it did not recover quickly. This would have encouraged unidirectional movement to the next creek and then the next. It is not hard to imagine that some early humans would have migrated along a path that followed consecutive drainage basins. Some of these paths lead out of Africa. Humanity's propensity for wandering has been repeatedly demonstrated. Asserting that over a 100,000 year period that people would not have fanned out across Africa and then further ignores this propensity. 500 miles a year is just an average of 5.5 laps around a football field a day. A person is capable of repeatedly walking 20 miles a day. 500 miles a year is a slow average pace that takes into account camping, women and children, weather, etc. Successful groups would split whenever the resources in a radius of less than a half mile or so would be consumed too quickly. One group might continue upstream while the other moved to the next stream over. This could happen every ten years.
There is a huge misconception even among many paleontologists concerning the out-of-Africa "waves". Your typical band of hunter-gather humans can cover 500 miles a year. The walk from lake Victoria to Greece by way of the Nile, the Mediterranean coast and Black Sea coast is roughly 6500 miles. That is just 13 years of walking. The conceptions of the theory over-emphasize humans staying in Africa. Two ice ages intersect this timeline. Partly depending on the climate and coastline levels, humans would have been almost continuously "leaking" out of Africa... and dying out. We have indications that the population of modern humans was around 1,000,000 for around 100,000 years. In other words, pretty much every blood line died out. The people who survived are our ancestors, the timing associated with our genetic lines are the basis of the modern out-of-Africa theory. The "waves" only refer to the survivors. There were orders of magnitude more people who followed the same paths whose decedents did not make it.
I was once the director of a university lab. I would expect completely uncited papers to be rare, perhaps the last in a series of useless papers. Most academics cite their own papers and the papers of a small circle of peers. The citation web has to be full of these self-scratching cliques. The papers that are cited across multiple cliques are the real influencers. These are much less common. Rather than debunking the uncited myth, they should be debunking the myth that cited papers are influential. Most are not.
Bitcoin is fragile. Once options in place, there will be the incentive to short bitcoin and then induce a crash. The availability of the options market will effectively cause the crash.
The article clearly states that it is the GPS position that is being tampered with. AIS is the means by which the positions are reported, it is not the system for determining positions. These ships are reporting bad positions that they are getting from their GPS systems. The ship captains seem to be aware that their GPS positions are incorrect. As I type this the ship KAREEM JUNIOR is reporting that it is sitting on land at the Gelendzhik airport ( https://www.marinetraffic.com/... ). Before it jumped onto land it's reported path zig-zagged at sea off the Russian port of Tuapse. The link I provided will show any other ships that find themselves reporting positions at the Gelendzhik airport in the future.
They are not taking money, at least not immediately. I believe these agreements work like an insurance policy that none of the other investors get. They will be given more shares in the future to bring their stake up to what they invested while everyone else gets diluted IF at the specified time the value of the company is below the IPO valuation or the company is sold below the valuation at an earlier time. My objection is that the general public is not informed in a clear and public way of these special arrangements that could directly affect the future value of the shares purchased. If the stock really tanks, the protected investors will wind up holding the full value of the company while the other "share holders" shares could be diluted to nothingness. Kind of mocks the definition of the term "share".
Fidelity is mentioned 44 times here: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/e... . But I suspect the information one needs to fully understand the agreement between Fidelity and Blue Apron is in the referenced and non-public "Investor's Rights Agreement". The article certainly doesn't make it clear what documents it referenced to draw its conclusions or how to detect such hidden agreements in future offerings.
ACS's financials require continued growth of its revenues. Its billion plus endowment and its half a billion in annual revenues are not growing as fast as its gold-standard retirement plan costs. It is experiencing 2% a year membership decline. It is facing bankruptcy in 20 to 30 years and is institutionally incapable of adapting to having a smaller role in publishing. It is way easier for their executives to file an ineffective lawsuit than it is for them to map out a future for themselves where publishing revenues are a fraction of today's revenues. It has a lot in common with cities that have too many pensioners and shrinking populations.
I'm betting on eddies in the Kuiper belt. Both observed effects don't have to be from a single mass and can be from distributed masses that have an effective center of mass. You always wind up with eddies in a hydrodynamic simulations and it is a bad assumption that the origins of the solar system was non-chaotic.
First thing: You don't use angles, you use 3 vectors. Angles are horrible at maintaining precision compared to 3 vectors. On the Earth, double precision latitude, longitude has a limit of 0.1m but double precision 3 vectors has a limit of just over 0.00000000056m.
Uber X Fleet cars still are not owned by Uber, they are owned by individuals and small businesses who loan cars to drivers. If we define 2% as insignificant and it costs 10k to adopt a 30k vehicle, then a fleet owner must have (N + 1/3) / N 50/3 = 17 vehicles before they reach this point. There may not be any Uber X Fleet owners that meet this criteria.
There are many specialized tasks at a grocery store that can be made less specialized by changing supplier form factors. Amazon has shown no hesitation in the past in pushing such requirements down on their suppliers. For instance, I once spent 10 hours unloading a 40 foot flatbed full of watermelons by putting the watermelons in pallet-bottomed-corals that could be shelved in the giant refrigerator. Amazon might insist that watermelon suppliers provide their watermelons in a more efficiently handled way, maybe even individually boxed and already on a pallet. Then the same robot that unloads cases of canned goods could unload watermelons.
Yep, I was flying into Phoenix 20-some years ago and they were bumping people before boarding acting like the flight was overbooked. I was surprised when I got on the plane and we took off 1/3 full. I think it was a DC-10. I also remember the turbulence on approach to Phoenix being bad from the thermal convection over the desert.
Cyber Command is just getting ramped up, but trained soldiers are already becoming available as they choose to not re-enlist. This is a source of non-college educated trained professionals we did not have in the past that make ideal watch-floor admins who are coming from all of the services. Most of them are going on to college after their service, you can try catching them before, after or during college.
I look at HTTPS content all day long. SSL is easily decoded and re-encoded at each firewall/proxy. The firewall only has to have one certificate in your browser's chain of trust that it can use to sign certs for the end point you think you are talking to. Unlike SSH, browsers do not alert you when a cert to a previously visited site changes. Any valid cert is accepted by your browser.

Excellent point. Don't have mod points, this is best I can do.
These letters have been on my payroll checks for decades, my respect has been "earned".
Turns out Jan Ludovicus van der Velde has likely just been printing money via Tether. Why wouldn't he?
