But, IMO, it is preferable to use the same units when possible.
That can get cumbersome:
"Proxima Centauri lies about 1.1 parsecs from our sun, but the observable universe has a radius of 14,000,000,000 parsecs".
Earh is 50 kiloparsecs from the Large Magellic Cloud, 778 kiloParsecs from the Andromeda Galaxy. And 2 Megaparsecs from this newly discovered galaxy. Apparently. KKs is an isolated spheroidal galaxy-- not a satellite of the Milky way, Andromeda or even Triangulum, nor is it clustered with other dwarf galaxies in the local group.
The paper says
Since 2008, only three galaxies had been newly discovered in a spherical shell between radii 1 and 3Mpc around the Local Group. Two of them are dIrrs, UGC 4879 (Kopylov et al. 2008) and Leo P (Giovanelli et al. 2013), and the third one, KK 258 (Karachentsev et al. 2014), belongs to the transition type dTr with minimal but detectable gas and young stars. Here we report the discovery in this volume of a dwarf spheroidal system KKs 3 ([KK2000] 03 = SGC 0224.3–7345 in the nomencla- ture of the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database) at a distance of D = 2.12 ± 0.07 Mpc and well removed from any other known galaxy.
So the interesting feature isn't that it's close. It's that it's distant from any galaxy.
50 Megapixels in a phone is absurd. Even the most absurdly expensive glass has trouble keeping up with Nikon's full frame D800-- and that's only 36 Megapixels. It's more understandable in a medium format camera-- but those are significantly larger than phones, and far more expensive.
What really would be useful in a phone is decent low light performance-- noise free images at ISO 12,800 and beyond (as well as the focusing systems necessitated by this lack of light.)
My own lying eyes aren't cleared for this evidence, so I'm going to have to go with the CIA.

formak data set, in Latex format
That sounds like word salad. Why would anybody format a data set using a typesetting language? netCDF is far more common for this sort of thing.
Tsars are needed because they create the conditions necessary for Socialist revolution. Well, at least one of them, anyway,
Care to supply a citation?
Evaluation of transmission risks associated with in vivo replication of several high containment pathogens in a biosafety level 4 laboratory says you're wrong, though.
Don't tow the "Climate Change" line, don't get funded
Exactly! Without scientists to move it, the "climate change" line, or for that matter, any line marking the boundaries of current human knowledge, it stays stagnant and fixed. Towing the lines helps our society prosper and grow...
And to think that George Orwell thought it a Dying Metaphor!
The US has a patent on an Ebola virus..
Human ebola virus species and compositions and methods thereof
Looks like a Canadian patent, owned by the " The Government Of The United States Of America As Represented By The Sec Retary, Department Of Health & Human Services, Center For Disease Control".
It's the wrong strain, though. Also I'm not sure why the US government would own a Canadian patent.
For a portable TV otherwise known as iPad a touchscreen is about the same as a dial on the side.
Funny, that. I rarely use my ipad for video. Sometimes I stream videos to my AppleTV using my ipad, but most of what I do on my ipad is web consumption--just the standard mix of text and graphics, mind you not web video. aside from that, there's kindle, and reading pdfs.
But of course, I may well be an outlier.
A large screen ipad might be good for drawing, provided that the stylus can be accurate enough-- drawing on my ipad feels like I'm in kindergarten, fingerpainting. Then again, I'm not the artistic type.
Can you even spec out a macbook with spinning disks? Last I checked, it was all SSDs.
The last link is very interesting. Thanks.
