100 years ago, doctors would smell your breath. If it was sweet, you might have diabetes. Rotting smells would indicate GI issues. Same with urine. The smells were subjective so lab tests are more reliable. These people seem to be repeating the process going from something that only a few people can perceive to an objective chemical test.

About 1880-1900 physicists thought they had the whole universe figured out. They had Newton's theory of gravity and basic mechanics and Maxwell's equations to figure out magnetism and electricity at once, a unified theory. There were some weird things people were looking into like radioactivity and the photo-electric effect but we had like 95% of the universe explained. The weird 5% turned into quantum physics and relativity and two whole new forces the weak and strong nuclear forces. The 5% had fusion and fission bombs, GPS, lasers etc.

Dark matter and dark energy could be more weird little stuff at the edge of physics that turns out to open a whole can of worms we cannot even imagine today.

The action was authorized by law passed by Congress. It is not illegal and it follows the Constitution, unlike most of Trump's actions.
Trump is mad because it is meant as a deterrent for Russian cyber meddling like those acts that helped him get elected. He is worried that Russia might back off on providing future assistance in the next election.
He is mad that it is meant to deter cyber meddling such as that Trump specifically publically solicited for when he asked Russian to hack Hillary's emails.
It makes him look bad to his Russian handlers showing he cannot control America and they are not getting what they payed for.
It highlighted that his own intelligence services cannot trust him enough to keep him updated on actions against Russia since he has told Russia in the past about secret US intelligence.
It made the him look like he cannot provide the intelligence leaks that Russia expect of him.

This reminds me of the invention that Rusty makes that is powered by the heart and soul of an orphan boy. It is a little creepy.

There was a sidewalk in Queens, NYC, NY with ramp in it for a driveway (well not a ramp but no curb so you could drive up it). The driveway was for a garage. The garage door had been walled up. The former garage was only a few feet from the street so a car could not pull up into the driveway anymore. If you parked in front of this non-garage you would get a parking ticket for blocking the non-driveway. Even if the front of your car extended over the non-driveway you would get a ticket for obstructing the non-driveway.

When it is actually found and they decide to name it, the new name needs to start with P so all the mnemonics that used to work with Pluto as #9 will work with this new planet.

Persephone might work.

Problems in Manhattan:
3x3 meter square is probably bigger than average apartment there.
What about Z coordinate? 90 story condo probably has 90 other people (1 on each floor) in the same 3x3 meter square for X and Y coordinate.

This may be covered in the article. I did not read.

Homo Florensis is the Hobbit.
Now bones of oddly shaped humanoid creatures found piled in the bottom of a cave?

A. Balin and his Dwarves in Moria.
B. Gollum's leftover Orc bones in his original cave before Bilbo met him.

Even Uber lets women are who are not allowed to drive transportation, women not in the company of a husband, male relative or other man assumed to be such, are subject to prejudice and rude behavior from males. In other words, if you are a woman walking around with out a male protector you are considered to be a prostitute or someone who does not mind men thinking you are a prostitute.

I don't think Uber is a cure-all for the oppression women suffer in Saudi Arabia.

That explains why in Star Trek all intelligent life can interbreed despite evolving separately for billions of years. ;)

This is probably all fake and they are using the crash site to dispose of the missing Malaysian flight 370 that has been hidden by the Chinese up until now

Can we use "Ceti Alpha Six" on a planet orbiting a star not in the constellation "Ceti"

If a corporation can be a person, why can't a chimp?

Step 1: Create a corporation called Chimp Inc. and make its owner a chimp named Bonzo. (People can leave their fortunes to a pet cat, they should be able to leave controlling interest of a corporation to a chimp.)

Step 2: Once Bonzo the chimp has control of the Chimp Inc. corporation, have Chimp Inc. buy Bonzo the chimp.

Step 3: Bonzo is the sole owner of Chimp Inc.
  and the only property of Chimp Inc. is Bonzo.

Chimp Inc. is a legal corporate person.
Chimp Inc. = Bonzo the chimp.
Therefore Bonzo the chimp is a legal person.

If it works China will use the partnership to steal any useful technology, produce it themselves and out compete Lockheed. See partnerships with high speed train manufacturers and solar cell production.

Time to kill a whole lot of pandas and collect their blood to extract the antibiotics.
