So what? go read the damned science paper at the link I supplied instead.

Thanks for the pointer. Very informative insights into what’s going on in this area … news stories seldom take the time to explain these details.


Yeah! Like, hmmmm… was it really a storm that brought Arecibo down? Or … was the storm just used as a cover by ET hackers?


Well yeah. But that’s to be expected in astronomy, they have to keep changing the model as they learn more and more. Who knew 40 years ago that stellar atmospheres could broaden radio-frequency lines?
Fair cop … but society’s to blame !


“You’re Going to Have to Trust Us”
Is that anything like “Don’t Be Evil”? (Google motto, 2004. No definition of evil followed.)
Reagan once said “Trust But Verify”. So … where can we do that at? (and who pays?)


I guess that’s okay, if we really got our money’s worth.

Here’s a back-up, science paper on MOF from Nature with measured numbers. 8 liters per KG per day isn’t 1000 gallons until you get to 2 tons … but it’s about 200 liters per out of 25 KG … easily carried.

"The effects of temperature, relative humidity, and powder bed thickness on the adsorption-desorption process are explored for achieving optimal operational parameters. We found that Zr-MOF-808 can produce up to 8.66 LH2O kg−1MOF day−1, an extraordinary finding that outperforms any previously reported values for MOF-based systems… "


Wow, that would save A LOT of lives


Same fella that just told the EU that the US is its child and always will be. Hmmm, how many parents take the advice of their young teenaged kids?


Holding on to one’s preferred human culture and values is not being ‘left behind’ in any sense … they may in fact be ‘left ahead’.


The sooner EUrope has a firm handle on its own IT ecosystem, the sooner it can tell the US to go pound sand. Macron is spot on.


Yeah, that would be a high priority item that I’m sure was part of the talk.


" … Or maybe it was released by ‘ICE-helpers’ trying to get people to stop all of the well-deserved harsh criticism." Oh wait, the NYT is the holy of holies… never mind …


It might get better just before the next election …


"Reportedly.’
That headline may be true. Or maybe it was released by ‘ICE-helpers’ trying to get people to stop all of the well-deserved harsh criticism. By now that’s hundreds of millions of names to go through. Maybe that will help them burn through their remaining funds faster.


Could be that the shittier sites are using tricks to make people hang around them as long as possible?
Also, sites that are ‘strange and a bit obscure’ are probably more likely to require us to take what they report with more grains of salt. They’re likely to have fewer visitors who can call BS on stuff.


Not since the last years of the Roman Empire has there been such a fine example. Also a fine example of how to tear your own gang to shreds.


I think it could change, here in the US … whenever it’s clearly demonstrated that that’s what’s going on … and if parents then pressure legislators (if they can find enough willing to fight corporate interests) to control it. In the meantime, ‘saving the children’ will be up to parents who take measures themselves.
Parents will get the behavior they reinforce. My mom, whenever I asked for ANYTHING I saw on TV, NEVER responded. Kids that scream when the phone’s taken away should NEVER get them back.


Very true, I’ve had whole cited paragraphs removed by non-registered users. Of course, IF you’ve got the time, you can look through the article history pages. For recently embarassed subjects, it’s not hard to spot the deletions over the past month or two, as they’re colored in red.
