They compare European speeds collected in October 2014 using their own methodology with a report published by the US FCC in April 2014. The US data was probably collected a year earlier than the European data and likely measured the speed differently.
The report itself notes that speeds in Europe increase by about 25% between 2013 and 2014:
The average download speed across all countries was 38.19Mbps during peak hours, a 25.7% increase from the previous year, slightly lower than the 39.69Mbps observed during the 24-hour measurement period. Average download speeds have therefore increased by nearly 10Mbps since October 2013, when the figures were 30.37Mbps and 31.72Mbps during the peak and 24-hour periods respectively.
Are you saying that a city the size of LA or New York couldn't be evacuated in three weeks? Because that's how long NASA has been tracking that asteroid and they know exactly where it will go; it it was going to hit the Earth we would have plenty of time to clear a spot for it.
Is this not a big deal because it might have happened before?
Where did you get that? Of course a Cat 5 hurricane coming ashore is a big deal.
But the headline "Strongest Hurricane In Recorded History " is deceptive (obviously you fell for it). All it says is that we haven't seen one this strong in the past few decades, because that's as far back as our "Recorded History" of hurricanes at sea goes.
We've only been watching storms that are offshore for a few decades. There's no reason to believe this one is unlike other storms that have been forming out in the Pacific since the last Ice Age.
Walmart was built on quality, name brand merchandise at low prices. At some point the MBAs took over and decided it was better to direct source merchandise from offshore manufacturers and slap their own label on it; they also beat down the name brand suppliers to shrink packages and cut corners to lower the price. They are now seeing what happens when you chase short term profits and drive off long term customers.
But that wouldn't involve massive wealth transfer from Western countries to Third World countries, which seems to be the main goal of this organization.
They could only be a niche player at this point, so first they need to downsize HP to the point where a niche in a big market would be significant enough for them to pursue. Maybe that's their strategy; seems brilliant.
This seems to be directly at odds with some of the claims made by this new study.
The study *assumed* the higher rate was not due to a higher screening rate, but that assumption did not hold up when someone actually looked at real data instead of making an unsubstantiated assumption.
We were surprised to see so many children with thyroid cancer,” said Dr. Nagataki, of Nagasaki University, the Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Hiroshima, and the Radiation Effects Association in Tokyo. But “We did not find regional differences in the prevalence of thyroid cancer within Fukushima Prefecture...The confirmed thyroid cancers identified in post-disaster screening thus far “appear to have already occurred prior to radiation exposure,” Dr. Suzuki argued. ”
Building it in a populated area means you also have the option of public transportation, shopping, housing, etc. for the employees. Put it out in the boondocks and people have a long commute.
You could say the same about *any* field of study - Law, Particle Physics, Psychology, whatever. The language used to explain a problem isn't the same as expertise in the field.
The videos I watch are the amateur productions of interesting stuff. Professionally produced videos that have ads always seem to be clickbait fluff anyway.
The goal seems to be to eliminate the journal publishers. Why not cut them out now? If this catches on they'll get out of the business eventually anyway.

Get over your own bias. All GP did was use the correct pronouns; there was nothing sexist in that post nor any reason to mod it down.
Well designed and highest quality. Would read again.

Batteries and windmills are much older technology, even PV is pretty much a contemporary of nuclear.

The best proof we have for it so far is that if it isn't there the model we use doesn't work.
If it is there the model works perfectly. We can see the effect it has on gravity, we just we don't know how to detect it directly.

Obviously you are trolling, but the point is that we don't all die of cancer.

Just give every soldier a 3D printer and let them make custom guns as needed.
Citation needed.
We are all exposed to radiation every day.

The same can be said about sending people to Mars

Exactly my point. They need the publishers, but they want to get rid of the publishers.
seeks to analogise coding skills with language skills to make the subject of computer science less forbidding and opaque
Good luck with that. Programming is about logic, not language.
TV is addictive, if you have it you watch it. If you don't have it you don't miss it.
They still wasted $200M by giving $2.2B for a company that was only worth $2B.
