1/ Are you sitting down? Get comfy, this one's a doozy: Here's a PSA about the alternation of generations and sequential hermaphroditism of Thetys vagina salps. A solitary Thetys vagina salpA chain of Thetys vagina salps
2/
• These are salps—filter-feeding, gelatinous drifters.
• Their scientific name is Thetys vagina.
• Vagina salps come in two morphs: solitary (📸 1) and chains (📸 2)
• Joe Platko took these photos this week off Cannery Row. Thanks Joe! mbayaq.co/2D1br75
3/
 • Solitary salps produce the chains asexually—you can see a rope of clones (the stolon) forming in the salp's "belly," each small orb being the gut of one salp in the chain.
• Chains of the clonal individuals can be tens of feet long. The chain here was about 3 feet long.

Here you go. George Washington's Death, cut from Act Two. It comes after Dear Theodosia Reprise, also cut.
Lyrics in jpeg, check out my Soundcloud:
soundcloud.com/lin_manuel/one…
Oh, there's lyrics in the demo that aren't written down here. My bad.
That's Burr saying, "Hundreds of thousands of people line the streets" and Hamilton saying "The world turned upside down."
If we'd kept this, "I hear wailing in the streets" would have been a reprise.
And I really like the "so long" turn.
But no time, no time, cut the tune, keep it moving

The Flat Earth by Donald E. Simanek

Early Ideas About the Shape of the Earth.

The ancients had many novel ideas about the shape of the earth. The Babylonians thought the earth was hollow, to provide space for their underworld.
The Egyptians thought the earth a square, (with four corners) with mountains at the edge supporting the vault of the sky.

Aristotle argued for a spherical earth, for these reasons:
1. The gradual disappearance of ships over the horizon, the tops of the sails disappearing last.

2. The shape of the curved shadow of the earth on the moon during eclipses.

3. The variation of the sun's elevation with latitude. This was the basis of Eratosthenes' measurement.

Here is our prediction for how Apple will support reading NFC tags in iOS 12. This theory was developed after much research of publicly available information. Please follow along and ask any questions.

#apple #iOS12 #NFC #ConnectedThings
If you haven't been following, Apple added an NFC controller to the iPhone 7 to enable Apple Pay (contactless payments). It wasn't until iOS 11 that support for reading NFC tags was added. That was a huge deal for the NFC industry.

gototags.com/blog/finally-r…
However there are some significant limitations in iOS 11 for NFC tags. The most significant of which is that (1) a 3rd party app is required and (2) the user experience requires an explicit user interaction to read NFC tags. More in link here...

"What I meant to say was 'yes'."
Reporter: "Is Russia still targeting the US?"
Trump: "No."

Not sure how he's going to try to spin this one into a "yes".

#WednesdayWisdom
In a walk back of the walk back of a walk back, Sarah Sanders says that Trump wasn't saying "no" to the question but "no" to more questions.

Pro-tip: they lie because you let them get away with it.

I have to watch The Magic Pill today for an article.

@sallyt, send popcorn. Or xanax.

Should I live-tweet this as a teaser for the article?
I'M THREE MINUTES IN THEY JUST IMPLIED THAT CROCODILE ATTACKS WERE BETTER THAN GETTING DIABETES HOLY SHIT. #themagicpill
Seven minutes: I think they just implied that the fact that they're a family of emotional eaters is the reason why one of this woman's granddaughters is autistic and another one has celiac. Oh, and this woman in her 70s (?) is forgetful. All from sugar, obvs.

The Data That Turned the World Upside Down

#psychometrics #OCEAN #Psychographics motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…
The "Big Five" (OCEAN) has become the standard technique of psychometrics. But for a long time, the problem was data collection, because it involved filling out a complicated, highly personal questionnaire. Then came the Internet. And Facebook. And Kosinski
Kosinski and his team could now ascribe Big Five values based on how many profile pictures/contacts a person has on Fb, but we also reveal something about ourselves even offline.

Phone motion sensors reveals how quickly we move/how far we travel (emotional instability)
