Ads for political purpose are a different animal, as there are a series of laws that must be followed. If FB aides others in the violation of law in exchange for money, well, there are laws for that.
Ok, but when is that 'rule' not the case? In low light conditions, where you either have no sensor response with low gain and low aperture, blurry sensor response with high gain and low aperture, or a middle ground.
The pupils expand and contract to regulate the amount of light hitting the sensor. A fuzzier image is produced if the brain ratchets up the gain to the sensor, rather than adjusting the incoming light.
A fuzzier image requires more processing power to parse.
The present study is based on the hypothesis that commercial sea salts can act as an indicator of MP pollution in the surrounding environment unless the MPs are filtered out during the manufacturing process.
The paper speaks of testing commercial table salt vendor products, and correlating the concentration of 'microplastics' to industrial sources. That's a limited scope, and respectable.
I still would like to look into the details of the 'microparticle' counting. Particle counting accuracy is hugely dependent on measurement technique. Add differentiation from other 'particles' to that challenge? I'd like to see details. Paywall though.

"That's a hilarious 'Do not Disturb' flashing light on your head, man! Where'd you get it? OMG that reminds me of this Sportball thing that happened this weekend! Can you believe they aren't standing for the National Anthem? OMG, so what do you think of this weather? Crazy right???"
"Oh, I'm probably bugging you, and with you wearing that stupid hat! Sorry about that! So anyway, did you hear about what Francine from accounting said to Bill from QA?...."
If I'm focused on a task and quick movement occurs in my periphery, I get an adrenaline rush and a jolt. Instinct is difficult to overcome.
My last job, I had a small cube located on a main aisle / entrance to the floor, where approximately 70 people worked. Imagine the number of disruptions.
Worse yet, I performed R&D for the company and continually needed to hide sensitive documents from view, even when taking a piss. You see, customers were paraded through this maze of engineers and scientists on their way to meeting rooms.
My 'solution' was to wear safety glasses, where the sides were blacked-out with sharpie, and a hat. It gave an effect similar to this setup, but the Panasonic "solution" would be preferred.
As an aside, if you visit someone at their cube and there is limited space, please make sure that you don't block the cube-owner's egress, or appear to do so. I can "know" that I'm safe and that this guy is a coworker and that I'm in a safe space and all that jazz, but thoughts can fall away to instinct.
Instead, the Google snippet -- the map and reviews box above the standard search result -- allows the company to capture clicks that would otherwise flow off the platform to whatever website had the best result in the algorithm made by the search team down the hall at Mountain View deemed as the best.
I think one of the difficulties in discussing crime rates, is 'crime' being something of a vague concept, while many people hold a rigid understanding.
But a corporation isn't liable to get his ass beat by pissed off 'customers.' Like, these are his neighbors, and I'm sure someone's going to want revenge.

OK, NASA wanted to know whether 'life' was present on Mars. How do we test for 'life?' Well, their approach was to look for stuff that looks like what life on Earth looks like. Mostly, carbon containing, large molecules. Amino acids maybe.
To test for these compounds, they sent a GC/MS, which is a gas chromatograph attached to a mass spectrum analyzer. The GC/MS does a few things -- the chromatography column separates compounds based primarily on boiling point (sort of), and the quadropole (mass analyzer) determines the mass to charge ratio of the charged species, separated by the GC.
Well, not all compounds can 'fly' in a GC. Many 'blow apart' / fragment to such an extent that the 'molecular ion' / parent species is not detected, but rather, only reaction products.
That is sort of what is being proposed here. In order to analyze only the 'volatile' portions of the soil, the soil was slowly heated and the gas that evolved were measured via the GC/MS. This is a standard approach. However, one must always consider a deeper view of the data, and that includes knowing the sample, and what other interferences may be present.
In this case, perchlorate, an acid, was already present in the samples. Perchlorate is a voracious digestor of carbon containing (highly saturated) bonds. The process of heating up the sample would likely have caused a reaction between any large 'organics' in the sample, and the perchlorate that was already present. In which case, reaction products of the perchlorate and 'organics' would be detected - and according to this article - one such product was detected.
However, this small molecule, chlorobenzene, may have come from the manufacturing process of the rover and would not have been a noteworthy detection, had it not possibly indicated perchlorate digestion.
People feel real good about GC/MS data because of the MS...but they forget the sample introduction part.
I wasn't speaking of only the American perspective of these conflicts. Your armchair general-ing is impressive - if only American had your leadership, we'd control the world!

I had the same experience and same conclusion.
Exactly. And the Falun Gong trust the Uncle Sam more than the Chinese government.

While it's best to say that something 'supports' a model, or is consistent with a model, scientists are human and may speak sloppily sometimes.
I'm sure the scientist understands the concept.

I can't help it.

Gee, people posting crap about their shitty lives that no one gives a fuck about. Color me surprised. /sarcasm
Slashdot posts may indicate depression as well.
Hugs, man.
If you had to choose what would be spread online, a sex tape or your DNA profile I think 90%+ would pick the DNA profile
Luckily this isn't binary...
Upsells. The lack of extendable storage drives purchase of the 128 GB model, offered for $100 more than the 64 GB model.
The MOTO brands of phones are cheaper and don't seem as gamified to fuck the customer.
You are wholly misinformed and your post a litany of poor logic. A train wreck.
A criminal still has rights. Rube.

Did an early version of AI write this shit?
They had a usable interface but replaced it with the infinite scroll. I was thrilled.
Those are marketers, not kids.
Undoing moderation. Sorry.
I tend to become the focus of 'that guy looks weird' profiling, because I tend to look, weird.
My comfortable state of a dead-eyed, nearly unblinking stare. I find eye contact to be invasive.
The upshot of this is that I have to pretend to be normal. I have to jiggle my eyes around. Remember to blink.
I don't like having to 'fake normal.' But if I don't fake it, I get hassled by every authoritarian-leaning personality I encounter.
