The figure showing the bursts is at [1], and the Nature article itself is at [2]. All the people in the study lived in California, perhaps near Stanford where many of the authors are. It would be interesting to repeat the exact same process

The Salt Lake Tribune has an article [1] on this. If you want more on Utah, see the Tribune's articles on [2] the divide between Mormon and non-Mormons in the state, and [3] how long people in the state will have access to abortion. [

The link is to the wikipedia page for Ettore Majorana. Is there some non-obvious reason that the link is labeled "Errors Majorana", or is it just a (bad) joke on the similarity of "Ettore" and "errors"?

The Salt Lake Tribune went non-profit [1] in 2018, and is now doing well [2]. I guess one trick to doing this is finding the funding. They still do traditional journalism, and publish articles every day, though they don't publish a d

It looks like the Norwegian wealth tax is for wealth above $170M, which seems pretty aggressive to me. Gabriel Zucman and others made a website [2] in 2020 aimed at the US that included a wealth tax; the lowest bracket it had was for wealt

I'm pretty close to vegetarian, and don't find a need to ever eat meat substitutes. Every Indian and Mediterranean restaurant will have a vegetarian option, and elsewhere you can get a salad.

Rather than "Math" in the title, one could also say "statistical model" or maybe "computer science". I wish the article would have gone a bit more into the details, rather than giving us the ELI5 summary. This

One's default when seeing a claim to do better than the Shannon limit is to guess that the author is a scammer, confused, or both. My impression in a quick read of this github page is that this person has no background in channel codin

I think a good start is to study why a signal can be time-limited or band-limited, but not both. Signal processing textbooks study this.
