IIRC the light coming from in front of you gets blue shifted, each photon increasing in energy, and the count increases because of the geometric changes you see in the video (the angles in front seem to shrink). Light from the rear red shif

Who's talking about "imminent terror attacks"? Do you think that is the majority of intelligence work? Do you need it to be to justify blackmail?

Can you give more detail about the fluorescing nucleus? I'm honestly amazed by this (and I have a degree in physics, which I guess is your point).

It looks totally fine to me (lines are wrapping normally). Are you sure it's not something to do with your own browser?

I only ever seem to see stories that look a whole lot like propaganda from thedrive.com. Who's behind this site?

This image [1] comes from "Converson to Islam in the Medieval Period" by Richard Bulliet [2]. The percentages inferred by Bulliet roughly track a sigmoidal curve. He makes an argument in analogy to the spread of a disease through

I think bit64 gives integer64, but like you I never need large integers - I don't do general purpose programming in R.

Do you have references for the multiple migrations, especially from India? I know there was this paper: http://www.pnas.org/content/110/5/1803 , but I had the impression that hadn't been replicated.

I wouldn't have said "shit source", but I think he's better viewed as a reasonable populariser than a proper source. He is up with the literature (in the sense that the day after a new paper is published, he blogs about

In my experience most are, but there is also some work in operations management and optimisation, product design (e.g. financial products, digital products) and other areas. I think marketing is the obvious first use case, but in large orga

It's not just the DHT22's accuracy that's a problem, it's the calibration. I have 8 of these, and they are up to 30%RH off - both in terms of their readings relative to each other, and relative to the true RH of a satura

The description of the photo here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lituya_Bay#/media/File:Lituya_... refers to a fishing boat being carried over the spit into the ocean. Perhaps this is what you were thinking of
