As I understand it the unit they use in the paper, "n/kg", refers to number of micro-particles per kg of salt. If you look at the supplemental materials (which I believe is accessible free of charge, not quite sure as I'm on a university network and also have access to the whole article) you can see in Table S1 listing of both n/kg and what they call "mean MP mass" which end up being in the range 0-70 mg/kg.

So, according to the summary it's the second time they land on ground, but the first time they attempt to land on ground
Because they don't get "little or nothing". Streaming services now account for over 30% of US music revenue, which is more than that of digital downloads (i.e. the reason this story got posted in the first place) but also more than the sales of physical CDs. How much of this money actually reaches the musicians and how much is eaten up by service providers and labels is of course another issue, but I bet they don't get the lion share of each sold CD either.
oops, correction. The average distance traveled for a Taxi in Stockholm is 500 km (50 Swedish mile).
In Stockholm there are apparently at least two Taxis running Tesla already (http://teslaclubsweden.se/taxi-stockholms-tesla-model-s/, sorry in Swedish). According to the article they expect to save about 15kUSD just in fuel every year and possibly more from reduced service. [personally I feel more statistics is needed before we know if electric cars really are cheaper to service than ICE cars]. The car can go more on one charge than the average distance a Taxi travels during one day (50km for a car used by two drivers). So, yeah...
To be fair its not really the fault of the summary, as that text was lifted verbatim from the article itself. That is, If you can even call that thing an "article". The summary cites 3/4 of the total content and expresses the remaining content with slight rewording. Suddenly I don't feel bad for not typically bothering to RTFA.
No, you draw the wrong conclusion. What we do when we find out that work that should be scientific did not follow sound scientific methods (here for instance by being heavily influenced by economic incentive) is not to LOOSEN the requirements and say "whatever, if some scientific studies were bogus, let's just give up and believe what ever the next guy is trying to sell", instead, what we do, and what I assume Dr Angell was aiming for, is to rat out the phony work and require a HIGHER standard for what we consider as scientific.
The goal of the scientific project is the pursuit of truths. The methods we use and the statements we believe on the way are not necessarily optimal or correct. Therefor we try to learn from mistakes, use the most updated methods and best-practices for instance when performing measurements (e.g. use the best known equipment) and drawing conclusions (e.g. use the best known statistical methods) and always keep our eyes on the goal: the truth.
Ah thank you. Coming from a country where we use comma as a decimal separator I actually did misread this and thought it was a pretty crappy return of investment (due to dissonance or something my brain decided not to interpret what was written within the parentheses).
Sure, but why the sigh? The aim of the study was to see if portrayal of women in the comics had changed over time. It was found that this was the case and indeed it was hypothesized from the investigator that the reason was change in reader demographics as well as writer demographics. Sounds like a nice little study (especially as they hint to a somewhat randomized process in selecting the comic books), would have loved to actually see the data though rather than just the summary.
Or you just use the "super key" instead of alt-f2 and get your icons and partial name search features back. You also don't have to stretch your fingers that far.
Been running Gnome 3 for the past year or so now and I quite like it, but I agree with you on alt-tab issue. I recommend the extention alternatetab which fixes that to work more simple and sane. Before installing alternatetab I avoided alt-tab all together and just used the super-key to get to the activities screen and switch window.
The feature I miss the most now is the ability to rearrange workspaces. Quite often I find my self constantly switching between say workspace 1 and 4, with some other crap on workspace 2 and 3. Then I would like to drag and drop workspace 4 so it becomes the new workspace 2.
I can't decide if this is bad grammar or great philosophical humor.
