It brings back bad memories of when Google decided that certain filetypes were too dangerous to be handled by gmail, so suddenly I could no longer access a bunch of.js files a buddy had sent me long ago that I had in my mailbox. I was not impressed.
If your main objective is removing deductions, there is no need to institute flat tax. The progressive tax system would work just fine without deductions.
So all of these Battle Royale games stem from a series of mods created by "Player Unknown", and they just happen to turn out to be the most addictive games ever? WAKE UP SHEEPLE! The proof of alien social engineering is right there in your face! God bless the Prince for pointing this out to us.
Alternatively, Harry may just mistakenly think the game mode is called "Battle Royals" and he's worried it's teaching the peasants to revolt.
You don't seem to realize that the right wing is in control of the Australian Parliament, but then again you don't seem to notice that the push to regulate social media is bipartisan.
It seems every year we get to hear the same sorts of objections to April Fool's Day: "People will take these things seriously" "How can I trust anything?" "We don't need people adding more disinformation to the internet, it will spread all over" All of these lead me to believe that the purpose of April Fools is more important than ever, because whether through inattention or naivete it seems a lot of people are overly credulous.
I think maybe the issue is branding. I propose that we rename it "Critical Thinking Day", and celebrate it as a chance to practice awareness, skepticism, and critical thinking. We can make it a day when people try their hardest to lie to you, but aren't trying to gain anything out of it, and will tell you the truth the next day. In that way it will be different than the other 364 days when the people are lying for profit, and certainly aren't planning on coming clean tomorrow. I think it would be a great opportunity to teach everyone that the best defense against being sold a load of bullshit is to listen and think about what you are being told.
From the article it looks like they did. They apparently did the circular thing for proof of concept, then checked their results against 10,000 years of computed orbital data from a database. The circular approximation was off by about 1%.
I frequently have to drive roughly 600 miles (an 8 hour round trip) in a single day for my job. This does indeed involved refueling twice, if not more. People frequently take trips of 400 miles, involving one refueling stop, in a single day.
Not only do EVs take longer to recharge, but at the moment there is considerable planning involved in making sure that you will be near an adequate charging station. This will improve as EVs become more common, but it is silly to pretend that EVs are currently as convenient as ICE or hybrids for long or medium distance travel.
the important measure of how close something is is how long it takes to get there.
In astronomy? In astronomy the answer how far away something is might depend on how long it takes light to get there, but for most things astronomy the answer to how long it will take you (or any physical object we could launch) to get there is "you won't."
No. Consider the problem from a single point on the orbit of the outer planet. For our coordinates we can set the x-axis running from the sun to the outer planet, and the y-axis perpendicular in the plane. From this position, we can consider every point along the inner planet's orbit equally likely. If we were only looking at the x component of the average distance from the outer planet to the inner planet, you would be right, as it equals the distance from the outer planet to the sun, but there is a y component as well. Together they mean the average distance between the planets is always more than the distance to the sun.
I saw some comments on the Physics Today article about this being pedantic, but astronomy is and always has been about pedantry. It's taking into account tiny details and vanishingly small deviations that allows us to do things like observe the composition of faraway stars or compute the age of the universe.
I think this is pretty much it. What we are seeing here is the 1% trying to scam their way in because they can't drop $10M+ like the 0.01% can. Unfortunately for them, nobody is amused, not the Universities, not the Elites, and certainly not the middle-class (or lower) who were counting on these spots being up for fair competition. As others have pointed out, one dumb rich kid's endowment can fund the education of dozens of talented students, but these bribes help nobody but the people they went to.
Of course this scheme was going to get busted! If there's one thing a racket hates, it's competition. It's a shame that these people didn't realize that they should have bribed the colleges directly, with gifts and endowments. That way it's up to the school to figure out how they can get your kid in the door, and it's all above board. This is basically the Ivy-League educational equivalent of trying to sneak candy into the movie theater.
If there is a 1 degree per 15 mile rise in sound underwater, I would imagine that the Navy would have some evidence of it already, due to the use of sonar. I'm pretty sure they would notice a systematic error in position like that. Now whether they recognized it as an artifact of negative mass who knows, but they should have data that shows the deflection.
It's not meant to contain radioactive material, it's meant to keep groundwater out while they clean up to lessen the amount of contaminated water they have to deal with. When the cleanup is mostly finished they will turn it off.
Just saying the Russians are spreading messages is not helpful, the correct course of action is to figure out the messages and let people know. What people don't realize is that they are playing both sides of the fence, however it seems the news only talks about the right-wing disinfo campaigns. We know for a fact that they do the same thing to galvanize left-wing partisans as well, so why don't we expose that? It would do a lot to ensure people on the right that this isn't just about silencing their views, and would help convince them of the problem. Making it a one-party issue only makes it easier for the trolls to defend.
Myself I became a believer after I encountered a few online who were trying to promote ethnostatism in stilted English while posing as "Americans", in a sports forum of all places. From what I've read stirring up racial animosity seems to be a big part of the plan, including things like drumming up support for BLM while at the same time marshaling forces against it.
This is absolute FUD. If it was a problem of a few people backing up massive amounts of data, then they could have instituted a data cap. If these terrible "digital hoarders" were the only people backing up TB of files, then it shouldn't have impacted any of their other users, correct?
What declining market share are you referencing? iOS has held relatively at 13-14% steady for years now. iPhone sales peak in Q4 around product launches, but otherwise have also held more or less at 14% market share.

No, this is the terrible NEW video games! The old ones were harmless, it's only these terrible new ones that are addictive! /s
How would it make it unplayable, seeing as you had to activate it?

In comparison, as of a few years ago the Airbus A300-600 has flown for more than six million hours and had the same number of fatal crashes.
Went over there to check their spin, but right now they have nothing up about it. Could they have been wrong, and recovered the data?
Or roughly 3,600 km of 9v batteries

That's fascinating, I would have never guessed the technique was that old.

I am not usually a fan of Gizmodo, but this is the best headline I have ever read.
