Weâve seen it orbiting Earth for the past few weeks and we were anticipating an uncontrolled re-entry today,
Cool so, uhm⌠Can we have some sort of global warning system so the rest of us know when this uncontrolled re entry is happening? Just so we wonât have any surprised Ukrainian warehouse owners or worse on our hands going forward 
We let people know to stay in when the weatherâs bad, I think known large space debris losing control is also in the publicâs interest 
The company could not be reached by phone after-hours Wednesday
Itâs customary to let your workers leave after hours, I can see this being confusing to Americans 
The headline kinda messes the quote and changes whatâs been said a little
says will enable the creation of quantum computers able to solve âmeaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decadesâ.
Theyâre just saying quantum computing can reduce computational problems from decades to years. Which is, the first thing anyone will tell you about quantum computing
Thatâs vastly different than the headlines âquantum computers are years, not decades awayâ 
Thought Iâd make it clear for anyone skimming the headlines
My bad, a Microsoft person does state later
âMany people have said that quantum computing, that is to say useful quantum computers, are decades away,â he said. âI think that this brings us into years rather than decades.â
Cool but that feels more like PR in the same way the captain of this ocean liner swears to me itâs unsinkable.
For me, the intriguing part is the claim that Microsoft (or, probably more accurately, a team of researchers whose work Microsoft have bought into) are working with an entirely new state of matter - one that is neither solid, liquid, nor gas - and with a new kind of particle - the âMajoranaâ particle.
*For those willing to risk their sanity, Majorana particles are explained here:
Nope. That first sentence was enough.
Sounds like theyâve been smoking a bit too much of the marojuana Majorana 
Looks like they havenât gotten the memo yet that Plasma is the fourth officially recognised agregate state of matter. So I guess that would make this a fifth one?
Iâve seen The Fifth Element. So the Majorana particle is a very attractive, mostly naked, young woman?
but does it sing and can it hit that impossibly high note?
Multipass!!!
Edit: I got excited about the fifth element I forgot I came with science news.
Been a while since weâve had a good bog body to get excited about
Ballymacombs More Woman
This is what is wrong with America. We would just call her Swamp Girl
The standard interpretation of bog bodies both amuses and confuses me.
For more than a thousand years, we executed criminals, and buried their bodies in unconsecrated ground. We had all sorts of inventive methods of execution.
But bog bodies are âritual sacrificeâ. On the basis of absolutely zero evidence.
My tutor during my tourism course in 2018-2019 was a doctor of archaeology, and headed the experimental archaeology department in UCD (The fawncy uni all the lads with rich rugby dads go to )
She is very much with you on this one
Our other tutor was a commercial archaeologjst, any roadworks/building done in the country has to be checked by an archaeologist first before work can begin, if somethingâs found it can set the development back months or years.
She said she got out because it was either, someone taking money in an envelope to finish before they even started, or it was some old guy trying to mythologize a standard find to make headlines over doing due diligence.
So she went into teaching 
And why are two phd having archaeologists working a second job or even third job on a government funded training course? Well we got one of those housing crisis that are all the rage in western capitalist countries too, and boy is it doing a number on our socialist policies
Same reason I have an Archaeology degree, but ended up investigating industrial accidents for the UK government. Because itâs near impossible to make a living as an Archaeologist.
Well thereâs that too. Her husbands also a social worker. God help them
Ah no theyâre good, bought a house outside of the city closer to their families and got good remote work jobs
