PBS has an article about the the rising use of Mechanical Turk 鈥?Amazon marketplace for low-paying, one-shot jobs 鈥?for academic research surveys. In the old days, psychology students were the primary subjects. Not anymore. Research shows that the median Turker has completed 300 academic studies. Jenny Marder at PBS writes about the problems this causes: First, there the question of dropout rates. Turkers are more likely to drop out mid-study, and that can skew the results. Then there the question of environmental control. Read: There is none. In the lab, it easy to monitor survey takers; not so online. Who to say they ;re not watching reality television while working, or drinking a few beers on the job To guard against this, researchers test a worker focus by planting attention checks in their surveys. Have you ever eaten a sandwich on Mars, a question might read. Or Have you ever had a fatal heart attack But the a adidas originals hamburg ttention check questions are often recycled, and experienced workers spot them immediately.

Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago, is rumored to be president-elect Joe Bidens pick for Secretary of Transportation, according to a new report from Axios. But Emanuel would be a very weird choice for the position, not only asics because the longtime political operative has quite a list of political scandals. One of Emanuels few accomplishments in the area of transportation was hosting a press conference with billionaire Elon Musk to announce a futuristic-sounding project of und yeezy erground tunnels that never happened. It will take longer to get through security at OHare than to get to OHare, Mayor Rahm Emanuel proudly declared on June 14, 2018 during a press conference with Elon Musk at his side. That promise hinged on Musks plan to install an underground Loop transportation system in Chicago between OHare Airport and downtown that was supposed to use 16-passenger vehicles traveling over 100 miles per hour in tunnels underground.

Apparently sick of being criticized by everyone from US Congress to Seth Rogan for not doing enough to purge its platform of bots, trolls, and malicious foreign actors, Twitter has started liberally dropping the ban hammer on suspicious accounts, suspending more than 70 million users over the course of May and June. The massive purge, which amounts to more than one million accounts getting booted every day, has continued into July according to the Washington Post. The suspensi ugg on rate is nearly double what the company was doing as recently as October 2017 and may put a dent in the companys monthly active user numbers, to the dismay of stockholders.

Were enormous air force one fans of Simon St氓lenhags artwork around here, ever since we first came across him in 2013. His work mixes high-tech futurism with scenes from every day Sweden. Now, hes released a brilliant art book, Tales from the Loop. Tales from the Loop isnt a novel, and it isnt quite an art book either. Its a bit of a mix of the two, with stunning illustrations of gian salomon zapatillas t robots and flying machines along side snippets of an alternate world that hes created of 1980s Sweden. Theres a basic story: in the 1950s, the Swedish government ordered the construction of a particle accelerator, which ran through the mid-1990s. The surrounding area was awash in technology, and the narrator recounts a range of short episodes from his childhood in this environment. While reading through this book, I couldnt help but shake the feeling that I was reading something comparable to the brilliant novel Roadside Picnic by B airforce oris and Arkady Strugatsky: theres technology everywhere, but its been cast aside, abandoned, ripe for exploration. Theres also a real sense of nostalgia rooted in this book, of a person looking back at their childhood and the simpler times.

The story that emerges isnt straightforward or even reliable at times youre looking through the eyes of someones childhood memories, which makes it even more special and exciting.

Karim Baratov, the 23-year-old Canadian man implicated in the hacking of 500 million Yahoo accounts, pleaded guilty to multiple charges in a California court today. Baratov pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, and eight counts of aggravated identity theft. He could face up to 20 years in prison for his limited role in the coordinated effort, and will be sentenced in February. Attorneys told reporters after Baratovs plea that the聽recommended sentence is eight to nine years. As a Canadian citizen, Baratov waived his right to an extradition hearing in his native country earlier this year. Once in the US, he initially submitted a not guilty plea, but on Wednesday his lawyers told a judge in federal court in San Francisco that their client was prepared to accept responsibility for his actions.

Image credit: NASA/Butch Wilmore Mount Everest is inarguably the tallest mountain on the planet when measured strictly as an elevation above sea level, but the superlative gets less clear-cut depending on how you measure: From base-to-peak, the gentle roundness of Mauna Kea ranks as the tallest mountain at 10,203 m, yet less than half peeks above the waves for a skimpy 4,207 m above sea level.

The latest trail adidas originals hamburg er for It, based on Stephen Kings novel, has made several clowns forget to turn their frowns upside-down. Youd think clowns would be better at laughing things like this off. MEL Magazine interviewed several real-life clowns after news that the It trailer had broken records to become the most-viewed trailer ever, and they were none too happy. They said the upcoming movie is taking a toll on their business by encouraging kids to fear clowns instead of enjoy them. They even have proof! Ro salomonschuhe ger Fojas, a 48-year-old clown, claimed there was a considerable drop in traffic on his Yelp page after the trailer came out. However, that pales in comparison to their biggest claim: They say its more proof that theres anti-clown sentiment in the United States. They say theres a growing fear and hatred of clowns, along with the belief that theyre not cool, largely perpetuated by the media.

Although most hurricanes tend to weaken as they approach land, some rapidly increase in strength just prior to landfall - a phenomenon that is both dangerous and hard to forecast. As the climate continues to warm, the number of storms that fall into the latter category is likely to inc stanley cups rease, presenting a stark reality for communities in their paths. Because current weather models cant accurately predict this sudden intensification, communities preparing for a lesser storm often dont have time to respond to the arrival of a much stronger one or to the magnitude of destruction it is likely to leave behind.The good news The results of a new study published in September in Nature Communications identify pre-storm conditions that can contribute to this rapid intensification - an important step in improving our ability to forecast it.Get the Latest JPL NewsSubscribe to the Newsletter We analyzed the events that led up to Hurricane Michael in 2018 and found that the storm was preceded by a marine heat wave, an area of the coastal ocean water that had become abnormally warm, said Severine Fournier, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scien stanley travel mug tist and a co-author of the study.
