A different "gear ratio" explains why Mars will never be a backup planet for people, though it may for humanity.
I'm guessing there's a much larger ratio, say 10,000 engineers, technicians, controllers, and other workers to get 1 person to live permanently on Mars. In 2100 there will be a similar article about why the Mars colony should not accept any new immigrants, but instead make all its new Martians on-site.
A foundational requirement of secret ballots is that a voter cannot disclose their vote to someone else.
This is very insightful and true. But there's another distortion risked by staggered voting days. Later voters would have the advantage of knowing early votes. This could skew turnout in close elections. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2...
Imagine later-day districts happen to be more Republican. Close elections would spur Republicans to vote who would otherwise have abstained. Democrat abstainers in early-day districts would have missed this spur because they had less information that the election was going to be close. So later-day votes would count slightly more.
Perhaps staggered voting days could work if somehow exit poll reporting could be suppressed. You know, without breaking the constitution or physics.
That's funny, I thought for a moment you were going to say the poster WARNED AGAINST the scams.

Crazy but true. The blame goes, not to Amazon, nor the USPS, nor China. The United Nations UPU (United Postal Union) treats China like an undeveloped bit player
Under current rules, those charges (called terminal dues) are set ludicrously low for certain countries, among them China. (Under UPU rules, for example, China, the world’s second-largest economy, gets the same break on terminal dues as do Gabon and Botswana.) This means that the USPS actually charges China Post less to deliver a package from China into the U.S. than it charges a U.S. business or customer to deliver a similar size package within the 48 states. The post office is losing money on every package it delivers from China — costs it has to pass on to its own American customers, not to mention U.S. taxpayers.

Been using Google Inbox every day for almost 3 years. Works great. A few minor annoyances, but generally lets one forget about the tool and focus on the content.
I was a refugee from Qualcomm Eudora, which I hated to give up, but now all my email goes through Google Inbox. It seems recently to have gotten much quicker with mail hosted on other SMTP servers.
So did the mercury get there in the first place by entirely natural means? I gather the/melting/ is supposed to be human-induced. But was there more mercury in those decomposing plants due to pollution of some kind? Or is it just the natural amount of mercury in living things since forever. I couldn't find a definite answer to that.
Lets also have a rule, whenever someone orders pizza and the deliveryman drives over a pedestrian, the caller is executed, home confiscated and relatives loose citizenship.
Apples to oranges. A comparable incident would be if someone maliciously ordered pizza delivered to a neighbor's house and in the ensuing confusion the pizza ended up on their roof.

Absolutely chilling. Underscores how badly we need networks we can trust. And news we can trust. And governments we can trust.

Perhaps so. In Software for Your Head Jim McCarthy, wrote:

If brave can be defined in a similar way, then anyone who proves useful in an emergency deserves the word.
I guess if I have to ask what that is, the answer is no.
