"If you give a man a fish, he'll tape it to a broken ATM in protest. If you teach a man to fish, he'll tape fish to lots of broken ATMs in protest." - the wisdom of the elder humans
A shekel is about 11.5 grams, so 21 shekels of silver is ~$300 today.
1970 was during the cultural revolution. In that year, the world population was 3.68 billion, and the population if China was just shy of 830 million - China had 22% of the world's population, so if they held (only) 20% of the world's prisoners, they'd have a lower than average incarceration rate.
The same is not true for the US today, we have less than 5% of the world's population today.
WaterSeer was initially somehow related to some part of UC Berkeley, rather than MIT.

... Or the metal oxide framework predecessor to it, or the newer thing that uses some sort of gel.
I'm not aware of a commercial product based on this work.
Thank you for this explanation. I got as far as an example that highlights the difference ("I made sure he died." vs. "I made sure he was dead."), but couldn't nail down why there is a difference between those things.
What, you just go through life not daring people to try it? His long hair says: "See what happens. I dare you."
The text on a Twix wrapper runs in the same direction as the Twix inside, so it's better to say they're top and bottom Twix - otherwise it's ambiguous based on the direction of the packaging.
Also, for double blind experimentation, she shouldn't know whether it's a left or a right.
You should get hyped for my upcoming light novel:
I Wrote a Light Novel on my Smart Phone About an OP Protagonist, and I Teleported Into the World of my Novel, but Because I was Someone Other Than the Protagonist, I Died Immediately.
I'm done writing all two chapters, now I just need to find a publisher that recognizes genius when I stare them in the face.
It takes way longer than that for me to share my opinions. The Earth should be rotated at least 30-40 degrees.
I once forgot to install the Linux package when I was installing Arch on a system. Linux even let's you not use Linux, if you like.
It didn't boot.
The browser warning appears even for a cert issued by a non public CA you have told your browser to trust, and most browsers already enforce a 398 day limit, so unless you have cooperative users, you're already (effectively) capped at 1 year of validity.
Most browsers do this for certs with a lifetime longer than 398 days issued after 2020, which is one aspect of why so many websites use a 1 year validity period for their certs.
If I were a government, I'd be afraid of French traditions, too.
I can't tell whether you're agreeing or disagreeing with the comment you're responding to. This appears to be a bale with a 4 foot width, and a 4 foot diameter, based on the cybertruck's bed dimensions. That's probably under half a ton. Still "heavy" (I can't pick one up), but even the cybertruck is capable of hauling far more weight than that.
Only about 10% of the working population in the US is in manufacturing, so 20% more people that would want to work in manufacturing is quite a lot. It's impossible to undo the automation that has happened to date, though. Worse, if more people work in manufacturing, the pressure on wages and the pressure to automate can both increase.
Even if we stop all imports and make every finished good purchased in the US here, it's far from enough to bring us back to the historic levels of employment in manufacturing.
Firewood drying in the sun appeals to me, but it's generally a quite mild smell. If there's a breeze, it probably is undetectable.
We used to have good, strong open source tools made out of C (which is a lot like steel - it can only be worked by blue collar computer nerds with muscly brains). Now that steel core is corroding because of the influence of hackers and other white collar computer sorts with their creative problem solving, and unintended uses of memory.
That new corrosion is called rust, and it eventually appears on every C project that's left outside, unless someone comes along to brush it off occasionally.
I've worked more than one place that did constant phishing testing, and also corporate creatures would send out links to websites we've never used before that everyone was required to click, so the only way to tell whether this was in the "get fired for clicking" or the "get fired for not clicking" bucket was that phishing test header. They never understood why this was a problematic combination, and never stopped doing both.
Pretty sure stones have to weigh 14 pounds...
You know every popculture reference of an alien civilization
Somewhere in the universe, there's another intelligent lifeform, with development at a stage roughly equal to our own. They make and share video recordings edited to be emotional, informative, inspirational, or entertaining, and you know and recognize all of it (translated to your native language, of course).
You just don't know where they are, what they look like, the overall story lines, and possibly a way to convince anyone else that this is a real thing.
