Plenty of answers already.

I’d like to point out that it’s not medicine alone, but empathy that changes natural selection. We have evidence of our ancestors caring for members of their tribe that would have been unable to survive otherwise.

But while in some edge cases (some diseases) you could make an argument that it’s bad for future humanity for some reason, it’s overall good, because it enables a larger population. And a larger population has a better chance of mutating to fit changing environments. Or to phrase it differently: diversification comes first, selection can wait.

Actually education is probably the largest selection factor. Educated people have less children than less educated people. Sometimes massively so. This is not necessarily linked with intelligence, it correlates more with socio economic factors.

The info graphic suggests that they use the different cooling rate of the first and second layer to lock in the applied magnetic field of heat assisted magnetic recording.

They beat both layers

They apply a magnetic field to save a “1” bit

Both layers are magnetized to a “1” bit

The first layer cools down and locks that bit into place permanently.

They apply the magnetic field to save a “0” bit

While the second layer is still hot and accepts the “0” orientation of the magnetic field, the first layer is already too cold and will not change its magnetization.

The second layer cools down and locks that bit into place.

Neat!

I need the top ten majors with the lowest unemployment rates to make a judgement in this plot.

Are the budgets calculated the same way in all countries? Or at least comparable?

I’ve heard that e.g. in Germany pensions for soldiers are not calculated as defence spending, because it’s just a regular pension, the same civilians also get. However in the US the department of defense is directly responsible for that so it counts as defense spending. However I have no idea if that is true or if that is already considered in the 2% figure.

He’s using it though.

I can imagine having a tutorial on how to hold and move your hands floating in space right next to the grip could be pretty nice for beginners. Or just make the boring exercise more interesting by watching some form of entertainment.

Only during totality.

You still need them if you want to see the moon creep across the sun.
