I'm suspicious as well... Supposedly this missile was hit during the boost phase over Iran, the evidence is that it was actually targeted at Diego Garcia relies on US reports.

The article above doesn't read well, at all. It's not my subject, but it reads as a list of things. There's little exposition.

Thanks, that was a better-written article than the above.

Yes, it's very elegant! It's one of those things you wish you had thought of yourself. Kudos to these guys for being first.

That's right. It's one of those elegant solutions that just seem so obvious once they're presented. But this lot did it first.

I briefly scanned the paper. The above summary is garbage. For a biologist, a summary might be like this: pcr fragments are generated with short reverse complementary sequences added to the end of one fragment that match that at the beginin

The hook was great, but article was mediocre. I glazed over at the mention of LLMs in the second paragraph, skimming the article through to the end didn't improve things. If your readers now care, don't disappoint them...

It took me a few minutes to track down the original source of this. It is a paper by Dr George Walkden published in 2013 called "The status of hwæt in Old English" You can access the pdf from the link below [0]. The abstract reads

I had a look at that. The notion of a "collective brain" is similar to that of "civilization". It is not a novel notion, and the connections shown there are trivial and uninspiring.

A decent example being Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights: >1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. >2. There shall be no interference by a public author

This attitude isn't limited to France. Most European countries now think likewise.

In the 1990's to 2010's digital tech was perceived as liberating the masses from government and "business" control of information. It's quite contrary to the present information environment.

This reflects an interesting development in Bay Area politics, which has global impact through tech companies. A few decades ago, tech, science and liberalism were bedfellows in the Bay Area. Apple was famous for its anti-authoritarian &quo

Yes, I considered that. Someone using a horse-drawn wagon to deliver goods about town would likely not consider buying a truck until the cart horse needed replacing. The working life of a horse may be shorter than the realistic lifespan. Se

Eyeballing the chart in the OP and the French data shows them to have a comparable pattern. While OP's data is horses per person, and the French is total number of horses, both show a decline in horse numbers starting about 10 years af

Quite. For reference, the horse population of France didn't decline significantly until the late 1940's [0]. [0] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7023172/

For what it's worth, the decline in use of horses was much slower than you might expect. The model T Ford motor car reached peak production in 1925 [0], and for an inexact comparison (I couldn't find numbers for the US) the horse

Cottagecore is almost entirely an aesthetic and nostalgic trend. Such aesthetics have a long history, well illustrated by bucolic visions of "simple" peasant life from the classical Greek and Roman era , e.g. Theocritus in 300 BC

That depends on your definition of "overthrow". Governments are routinely replaced in western democracies.

Agreed. The EU institutions are remarkably efficient compared to their national equivalents. 80,000 civil servants is a tiny number for a polity of 450 million people. Ireland for example has 50,000 for a population of 1/10th the size.

Preserving biological/medical specimens with formaldehyde so that they may be re-examined later is a common practice that still occurs today. So it isn't surprising here. The alternative would be to freeze the specimens, but that
