I got computer time to process a 200MB dataset. But the internet bandwidth was still measured in kilobaud then. So we loaded up a disk and flew to the computer. Multiply everything by a million 20 years later.
This one in Tunusia was the first and most successful. Egypt tried demoracy for one year and returned to a military dictatorship. Libyia, Yemen and Syria are war zones.
Thats 500 to 1000 kilometers a billion years. I am not sure how small the outer liquid core must get before the dynamo halts. Someones probably modeled that.
Politics, geography, etc. as well as science. School is just a grabbag of facts temproarily learned and forgotten. TV man-on-the-street humor has exploited this lack of knowledge.
That means relatively terse for the deep experiences behind words and sentences. This has confounded deep language understanding by earth machine intelligences for decades.
Human language is telegraphic because because our minds probably operate 99% the same way. We only need to drop brief hints to others to convey shared experiences. We learn language quickly as children because we assume to know mostly what other minds are up to.
This could make it difficult to communicate with alien minds on non-scientific matters.
Back before the mid 1980s when they settled on an interchange standard. So in my grad research we'd get these mystery tape bit dumps. I had a rough idea of the structure of the data, but not its exact shape, nor even its number format- many more floating point and integer formats in the old days. So with "od -o" I'd coax an image out these mystery bit dumps. I think it would be fairly straight forward to do this with AM, FM signals.
I thought I read a blurb in the paper about this. Chinese-born people have won science prizes after emigrating. And Chinese citizens have won literature and peace prizes.

China certainly spends a bundle on R&D these days, perhaps second in world now.
I know they have sandstorms, sometimes dense enough to hide the surface. But with an atmosphere that never exceeds 2% the density of Earth's, can it blow people down and topple spaceships?
Georges Lemaitre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre) explored the expansion solution of Einsteins General Relativity Field Equation which Einstein initially resisted. Georges called it the "cosmic egg" (until detractor Fred Hoyle named it after British slang for ejaculation). Note both Guy and Georges studied at MIT.
If there are 1.0 to 1.5 billion Muslims, but the hajj logistics maxes out at about 2.5M a year, I was wondering what fraction of Muslims are able to practice this essential tenant of their religion. Forbes tried to compile statistics in this figure

One out of six at best. Distance, finances, and quotas limit those who are able to attend.
In old days the delay in VR made me nauseous. However at the SIGGRAPH a couple months ago I sampled some of the newer VR setups and almost got sick because it felt so real. One Sony demo had you walk a tight rope between two skyscraper roofs. You could see the ground out of the edge of your eyes. Lots of people found it difficult to walk the rope because it felt so scary. Ditto another demo with Oculus riding a skateboard at 40 miles an hour.
The Chinese and Russians will put up smaller replacements.
Neither US political party is interested in space and continually starve NASA. One party thinks social programs are way more important. The other party thinks research spending should be private, not government.
That was a different issue - auto air conditioners and home refrigerators. But as CFC emissions decline, so doe the size of the annual south pole ozone hole. Still needs decades to heal.
Our society relatively healthy and safe compared to previous generations. So early death is rare and tragic. I myself never directly witnessed a death until my 40s and I know some older people still havent either.
Via infection or intentional quasi-sexual gene exchanges. Common in bacteria. Less common in metazoa. However genetists suspect a small fraction (1% to 8%) of the human genome was came through retrovirus infection. Soem from hundreds of millions of years ago.

Messes up creating these genetic taxometries.

I would be surprised of the government collects $50B before its over.

Maybe they can cheat before, then not pass courses. GRAD courses are often seminars and everyone knows your capabilities.

up to a certain point

Maybe one or two fewer plot twists like the space capture at the end. That was too much like Gravity.

Who held the candle between the Greeks and the Renaissance.

Its just not cheap enough yet, even for governments. Maybe Elon will change that.
Like in Interstellar.

According to a NY Times article. A billion dolalr fine for Harvesters truck engines. I suspect many cheats not caught.
Both of these are expensive multi-decade projects with high initial hopes, but slow progress. In the 1970s they said these would occur in the 1980s.
