At least some of the most vocal opponents organize, in collaboration with energy drink maker Red Bull, motocross races on the slope of the volcano, right up to the top. These will have to stop because of the dust they produce. Just maybe there are real religious objections, but certainly there is money.

Professional infrared spectra databases have been using fuzzy pattern matching without any AI for more than 35 (!) years.

It just sells better when "AI" is mentioned.

There was absolutely no reversal of the direction of rotation. There are two liquid layers in the earth core which rotate with slightly different speeds, but still in the same direction. The speed difference is small. The reported change is that recently one layer slightly slowed, and one slightly accelerated, so that now the identity of the slower and the faster layer have swapped.

First, phase 3 studies are by definition not safety studies, but efficacy studies on a large number of test subjects. Safety studies are phase 1.

Second, ethics guidelines stipulate that you must provide state of the art care for those subjects which do not get the new vaccine, with very tight exceptions. For flu shots, it means that everyone gets a shot, either with a traditional vaccine or the new one, since it is universally accepted outside the new FDA that a classical shot is better than placebo.

And of course you can compare the outcomes. Comparing the new vaccine to an established one wrt efficacy and side effects is actually more informative than comparing against placebo.

The question is not whether the answers align with those of medical professionals.

Much more important, from the business and legal responsibility standpoint, is whether they properly align with pseudoscience championed by Kennedy and his merry band of quacks.

The Guardian is asking the wrong questions.

As long as Meta/X etc. accept European ad and other money, and in order to do so maintain European offices, they are subject to local rules. Nobody would complain if they were really isolated and US-only, or block the hate crap only for Europeans while still serving the full load to Americans.

cuts his/her own wax cylinders. This is fun and very doable with readily available materials, while maintaining your own bug farm to harvest shellac can be some pain and is only recommended for real nerds.

And that is straightforward to impound. You cannot claim legal immunity from a foreign country and at the same time earn money from that country.

The app has a button to recolor all screens the right way. Solved in a millisecond.

they can throw fits as much as they like - the UK government will simply impound the due fines via the bank transfers from the companies which have booked banner ads. Claiming immunity from foreign laws, but doing business with foreign companies under these laws does not really work.

He already commented twice about this compound, the last one is https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/hexanitrogen-energies

The first post is from June 23. Regardless of this topic popping up on Slashdot now, of course with a sensationalistic slant, it is still yesterdays news for professionals. The paper made a few waves two months ago.

The Wikipedia article refers to a different compound. The one synthesized here is a chain, essentially two N3 azide groups coupled via a slightly bent bond.

The synthetic yeast genome project (the precursor to this project) is more or less complete (currently at about 70%). Most chromosomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been successfully synthesized from scratch. We are not speaking of a few hundred nucleotides (that was state of the art a couple of decades ago), but millions, all properly wrapped up in the proteins stabilizing chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. This project is a logical extension.
