There are many, many more tax returns filed by people earning under 200k adjusted gross income than those earning more, I assume. So if there's a uniform chance that a return is audited, we would expect most audits to…

Because they are researching inertial confinement fusion, not trying to build a working power plant. The efficiency of the lasers doesn't matter, since it doesn't affect their research.

This article is not about FRBs: Earlier this year, Swinburne University's Emily Petroff was the lead author of a report on the first observation of a fast radio burst (FRB) in real time. Previously, the enormously…
The convenience is hard to beat. I recently switched from a drip coffee maker to a Keurig, and I love it. My wife and I don't drink much coffee and so making 12 cups is a huge waste, we end up throwing away 3/4 of the…
You can do this in Preview.app. :) Edited to add: BTW, Shift+Cmd+4 is a super useful shortcut from taking screen grabs on the Mac.

The "decoder" rat was not trained beforehand, unless I am badly misreading the article. The training process that occurred used the real-time signal from the "encoder" rat's brain. It simply took some time for the…
According to the article, "Servicemembers from the tank brigade that found the crater have confirmed that background radiation levels at the site are normal", and "Background radiation levels in Chelyabinsk remain…
Ah! I did not know that. Thanks for informing me, I'm happy I got the chance to learn something new today. :)
It is very nice penmanship. Nice to see skills like this still around. From the article: It’s clear that it is mostly, but not completely handmade, as although the included paper is weathered all of the “handwriting”…

I believe their argument stems not so much from the intelligence of cetaceans -- as others have pointed out, intelligence is hard to define -- but from evidence that they are self-aware, conscious beings.
Where exactly in that article does the author make any sort of argument that would support his thesis?
This is part of NASA's Planetary Protection directive [1]. Their goal is to ensure that we do not inadvertently contaminate the pristine environments that we visit with our spacecraft. If we did, we would be destroying…
