Don't they have a vested interest in seeing cryptocurrency fail? Since they don't manage a portfolio of crypto, they will do and say whatever to keep the money supply from shifting from their investments to crypto investments.
Magnetic North vs True North is actually a thing. Since compasses are all magnetic (except for GPS-based compasses), you have to keep track of the angle of declination or you will be truly lost. And this number changes a lot, especially if you are looking at how much it changes "over decades." It's a thing, ask you backpacking friend who actually knows a thing or two about orienteering.
In his book Entering Space: "Creating a Spacefaring Civilization" (1999), Robert Zubrin proposed Titan as a good candidate. Carbon-bearing, denser atmosphere and lower radiation.
"Work on Linux kernel 4.13 started in mid-July with the first Release Candidate (RC) milestone, which already gave us a glimpse of the new features coming to this major kernel branch. There are, of course, numerous improvements and support for new hardware through updated drivers and core components. Highlights of Linux kernel 4.13 include Intel's Cannon Lake and Coffee Lake CPUs, support for non-blocking buffered I/O operations to improve asynchronous I/O support, support for "lifetime hints" in the block layers and the virtual filesystem, AppArmor enhancements, and better power management. There's also AMD Raven Ridge support implemented in the AMDGPU graphics driver, which received numerous improvements, support for five-level page tables was added in the s390 architecture, and the structure randomization plugin was added as part of the build system."

Dick Durstein writes: FCC claims industry study invalidates a vast majority of Pro-Title II comments; remaining comments strongly favor removal of Title II classification.
Despite lack of star power reclassification advocates trounce (8 Million to 5 Million) the Pro-Title II campaigns heralded by John Oliver (TV), Vi hart, CGP Grey (YouTube), Reddit Communities r/netneutrality, and r/MarchForNetNeutrality, among many others; according to the report (page 3 graphic titled EXCLUDE FAKEMAILGENERATOR)
How, without an organized campaign, did repeal advocates generate almost twice the comments as various diverse opposition groups? Has there been a peer/independent review of this study yet? How does one explan the massive reversal from 2015, or lack of correlation with recent polls & surveys that, while not scientific, were massively in favor of keeping the strong Net Neutrality rules in place? (such as the one on this very site)

Florence is classified as a Potentially Hazardous Object. At its closest, it was about 7 million km (4.4 million miles) away from earth.
It is still visible in amateur telescopes over the next few days where it would be seen to move over several minutes against the background stars. It can be located using this map.
