Despite what scientists originally thought, these holes allow 20 times the normal amount of solar particles through when they are facing away from the sun. This being opposite from what the scientists had originally speculated.
Apparently submitted by the department of redundancy department apparently, the problem is that's not what the article actually says.
Scientists once believed that the particles entered when the sun's magnetic field was aligned opposite to that of the Earth's. But findings presented at the meeting show that 20 times more solar particles enter the Earth's magnetic field when it is aligned in the same direction as the sun's magnetic field.
It the alignment of the fields North-to-South being discussed and nightside effects are not explicitly discussed. Some clarification by a physicist would seem in order.
And after reading a paper about how most arthropods may actually hybrids between two or more original animals, I completely gave up on that idea. Some people think that an insect and its larvae were originally two separate animals. So on which branch of the tree do you place the hybrid ?
Are you sure you parsed that correctly? "Some people originally believed that an insect and its larvae were two separate animals" and "some people think that an insect and its larvae were originally two separate animals" are two non-equivalent statements. I do know that there have been some species where the adults were so morphologically distinct and so divergent in lifestyle and habitat from the larvae that the connection had never been made between the two until recently. What exactly would be the mechanism for two species to glom together such that one becomes the progenitor for the other?

It's cute that you think "electronics simply don't do [...] accountability." Believe me, I'd be out a job real fast if they didn't.
The bottom line is, this was handled really, really poorly
Or really, really well...
no one liked the potential impacts of a launch failure.
The fact is, no one like(d/s) the impacts of a launch success. Do your own search for the reality.
Real military REFORM involves sorting the "pork from the chaff"
That has to be one of the more ludicrous statements that is present in this discussion. The 'pork' and the 'chaff' are both waste products to be discarded. They're from separate metaphors that you've globbed together. The saying goes 'sort the wheat from the chaff' although you probably don't understand it. Both the pork, and the chaff, need to be sorted out and discarded.
On the contrary, separating the pork and the chaff is vital. Chaff is useful as compost. "Globbing" the two together is indeed a mistake. As anyone who does backyard composting can attest, meat products in your compost attracts scavengers. In addition, in the future, if our biochemists are successful, that chaff might be biofuel. At the very least, that chaff would be useful as bedding for our hamster brethren that power our web servers.
And pork? Can you say sausage? Mmmm, porky goodness. Protein and fats. Food fuel for our soldiers.
No, sir. Discarding the chaff and pork is a real waste.
That's a lot of domains to buy. And if we miss one,
some poor registrar somewhere is going to cry. Fixed that for you. Congratulations, we've just invented a new type of ransomware.
Or maybe the cops would just pull over the other 93.5678% of the speeding population that doesn't own an iPhone.
Why would they give up the revenue from that 6.4322% of the population that has so visibly demonstrated a willingness to be parted with their money?
