Interesting research, but thereās a huge difference in being able to predict a slight seasonal or cyclical variation in earthquake activity and being able to predict any given specific earthquake. My wife (a geophysicist who specializes in this kind of thing) has convinced me that will never be possible.
Teeny tiny earthquakes are happening constantly, and theyāre initiated at very small points on a fault miles underground. Even if you could magically accurately predict each one of those that would still be totally useless information without knowing which of them was going to cascade into a larger rupture, and there are a ton of factors and a whole lot of randomness that contribute to that.
TLDR: The National STEM Festival is running a gofundme, ābecause three major sponsors just pulled their funding for this festival because of the current political climate regarding scienceā. Kari Byron (of Mythbusters) is running the gofundme itself.
(At the videoās suggestion, Iāve been looking at the sponsor page to see whoās recently removed. So far Iāve only spotted https://does.dc.gov/ as no longer on the list)
Dr. W. Stanley Jevons just called me on the astral miasmic link and wondered if they had seen his 1905 treatise on sunspotsā¦ 
You know, there was a vague memory of āwasnāt there a now discarded theory about earthquakes and sunspots and possibly aether a hundred years or so agoā stirring at the back of my mind when I read this? But then I realised that I couldnāt be asked to go and look for it.
Hey - at least my brain will stay fresh!
Is that why Iām so sleepy all the time?
Panopticon intensifies.
The new study compared megalodon fossils with more than 150 living and extinct shark species. It found the megalodon may have had a longer, more slender body resembling that of the modern lemon shark, rather than the great white. It could have ranged between around 54 feet long and 80 feet long, the study suggests.
Which is even longer than previously thought. (For those who just wanted to know the reason already.)
Longer, but less massive. Great whites are chonkers!
Woooo, time to head to the barā¦ wait, still many risks? Dang.
āIt has a lot of connections to my cultural background, so I was very interested in doing more research into this disease and also introducing some novel treatments that might help improve the quality of life for individuals within my tribe,ā Cummings said.
So this involves kids with Hispanic, Asian and Native America heritage. How long until screams of āDEI!!!ā come from the usual suspects?
I donāt knowā¦ Maybe itās time to accept that weāve reached the limit on what computing can actually do for us? 
Weāre not ever gonna get Hal, me thinks.
