Thank you for sharing. IMHO it seems a stretch to say that the entire marine fish biomass in the world's oceans has declined by 80% based on a URL that is clearly indicating "fisheries". I am sure fisheries have declined but I doubt that extrapolates into a decline for everything else. Could even mean other fish species are enjoying a boon of food because we're removing some of their competition from the equation. Just thinking out loud.

Curious to know how you measured this 80% figure. A source would be nice.

This thing is gonna sell like hotcakes @ $100. I'll probably get two. You need to wake up, sir, the future is coming. ;)

I've always felt that our meatbrains have a pretty incredible capacity for taking WAGs at NP problems (i.e. traveling salesman). And I feel like an AI would just bring itself to its knees trying to find the 100% best solution to NP questions asked of it, so I wonder if there's some need for a bit of cognitive code that says "is this an NP question? IF yes, go to the WAG process"... Just a thought I had... someone probably already did that.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that a dolphin is demonstrably smarter than a chicken and because of that people feel it is more likely to experience pain and suffering during this "fishing".

Not a personal opinion of mine, just one hypothesis for the reaction.

Sadly, this isn't just a story about the IRS.

This is a story about pretty much any organization that has too little oversight and accountability.

You type pretty well for a dead guy.

The only people refusing to get vaccinated are the religious nut jobs here.

And they are the only ones getting the disease.

Please try again.

That's OK. That's where the "dirt" is found.

Anyway, it has always been worth what you pay for it.

I did not RTFA (this is Slashdot you insensitive clod) but maybe the poor Zebrafish were just blinded by all the booze and therefore couldn't see the threat, which is not a behavioral change at all.

The truth is pretty simple: People who want to be distracted while driving will find a way to be distracted while driving. Doesn't matter if it's a cell phone, spacing out thinking about other things, eating a Royale with Cheese or any number of other possibilities. You can write laws until you're blue in the face but you aren't addressing the behavior with any of them. What we need is smart automobiles that can tell when the driver is getting a blo---errr, is distracted, and can compensate accordingly. Maybe even by driving the car autonomously for a few moments. Obviously it's not a coincidence that Google is working on just that kind of tech right now.

Missed a big portion of America: people who check their phones, even though they aren't on the clock, because they LIKE what they do and want to stay in the loop.

Ah so just getting the detectors in place. Thanks.

If they have created hydrogen atoms already, why wouldn't they just check to see if those atoms fall to the bottom of the container, or float to the top? I would guess these atoms are stored in a vacuum, so buoyancy isn't a concern.

Elastic? For a cloud? Yeah....I suppose.
