I doubt that any amount of Excel training would have helped for this specific issue. That mistake could be made by anyone. Once you hide a worksheet it's not obvious it's still attached to your workbook... because it's hidden. It's a mistake waiting to happen.
Maybe someone should make a course and include that so people don't make that mistake.
The story doesn't say, but I'm wondering about the brand deals. Do these influences find and convince the brands to sign? Or do big brands like Secret Deodorant seek out and approach Tik Tokers with only 8k followers? Seems unlikely.
I have a friend in the UK who streams games full time. He just reaches out on social media to companies and that usually works. He's not a huge streamer but makes a decent living at it.
Show of hands: How many people sat in on Hegseth's phone call regarding this topic?
Which call? The ones with our allies or the one with Russia?
The Alpha-Radiation from Plutonium is already undetectable on the other side of a piece of paper. And, incidentally, Plutonium based nuclear weapons are lighter than Uranium based ones. Such a coincidence. Sounds to me like this person is full of crap.
This is one of those cases where things are not as simple as they seem. For one, plutonium does not directly decay to stable lead. You will never have a pure plutonium core for very long, so daughters are going to be present, some of which decay via gamma emission, and we know the ratios they will show up in over time. For another, when plutonium decays, the resulting daughter doesn't always end up in a ground state right away, but lands at an excited state, which then drops to ground, emitting a gamma when it does. Finally, the electron reconfiguration that happens during the decay gives off x-rays at known energies. All of this is why most Pu and U (also usually a alpha emitter) isotopes can be detected with a gamma spectrometer. Pu-242 is a standout, its gamma emissions are exceptionally weak, but it's undesirable in nuclear weapons which aim for as much Pu-239 as possible.
But all that is irrelevant anyway. If you read the article they are not looking for decay emissions. They are looking for neutrons created when high-energy protons from Van Allen belts slam into the uranium in the bomb. This creates a cascade of neutrons which the detection satellite's neutron scintillator based detectors (which are designed to discern the neutrons from the bomb from the background radiation) can pick up.
But sure, the nuclear physicist from MIT is the one full of crap here.
This is not too dissimilar from the Government limiting the export of strong cryptography.
And how did that work out? Oh yea, foreign (mostly European) companies sprung up selling strong encryption products to the rest of the world, putting US companies at a disadvantage. Turns out the US didn't have the market cornered on math. The same thing will happen here.
