Comment Re:We are in a warming cycle. OF COURSE it's warmi (Score 0) 111

sure - but records show that heating usually *doesn't* happen this fast. So cause for concern and action. If you're right, we only got inconvenienced a bit, stopped some bitcoin mining, moved off fossil fuels to renewables and planted a few trees. If you're wrong... well, crap.

h1b's are walking the hallways. US born folks are second class citizens since we are not as abusable as the h1b's.

It's ironic, don't you think? The fact that they can be abused makes you the second class citizen? :)

It can be rough being trapped in a job as an H1B in the US. What was originally a great opportunity can become down right nasty. And you don't even have the luxury of quitting.

The Proton Just Got Smaller 289

inflame writes "A new paper published in Nature has said that the proton may be smaller than we previously thought. The article states 'The difference is so infinitesimal that it might defy belief that anyone, even physicists, would care. But the new measurements could mean that there is a gap in existing theories of quantum mechanics. "It's a very serious discrepancy," says Ingo Sick, a physicist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, who has tried to reconcile the finding with four decades of previous measurements. "There is really something seriously wrong someplace."' Would this indicate new physics if proven?"
