every aircraft now constantly broadcasts its position, velocity, and altitude information, and anybody who wants to can build a ground station capable of receiving this information.
Isn't this a pretty serious security concern? What if some armed group gets their hands on these real-time aircraft flight paths?
Modern Japanese is a chimera of native words, Chinese, Pali, and various European languages. Kanji are used to write the Chinese loanwords, hiregana for the indigenous stuff, and katakana and Romaji for the European loanwords (sort of). You could write everything in hiregana, or even in katakana or Romaji with some effort, but doing it this way is easier.
This is usually fine. I say 'usually' because sometimes the English title is generic, inaccurate or downright lame. And sometimes all three, like 'tHe BoY aNd ThE hErOn'. Seriously, whoever thought that was a better title than How do you Live? needs to be [redacted].
From what I understand, the TPP is closer to the KMT than to the DPP. They have refused to form a coalition, but they abstained so that the KMT could get the Speaker and Deputy Speaker posts. Also the DPP won the presidency, so the legislature and executive are now led by different parties.
Oh, the irony of JNU being called 'liberal'. (JNU is India's best liberal arts university. Politically, they are very left-leaning, with the Communists winning most union elections.)
There are plenty of projects that use spare computational power for useful things. Like folding@home, which models protein structures to come up with potential drugs. Why not use the excess electricity for one of those?
So what happens if a lot of people want to make transactions at the same time? Do they have to queue? Also, this sounds like anyone can cripple the system by scheduling a few thousand tiny transactions.
Once there is enough demand, some Chinese or Thai OEM - maybe the same one that manufactures these for Apple or Samsung - will sell them for a couple hundred Euro.
They could have done all that by shutting the valves on their end. Or 'discovering' a crack that needs an, uh, six month-long maintanence. The closing of the pipe may be a good thing, but it's pretty clear who did it.
'Junk DNA' is any DNA whose purpose was unknown when the article / book was written. But to return to your question, not necessarily.
First, we are usually concerned with the (dis)advantages of mutations when they occur in coding regions, which are definitely not junk DNA.
Second, just because a sequence does not encode any useful information does not mean it is useless. For example, it could be holding a coding region away from another, so both can be transcribed at the same time. Or it could be structurally important in the way the chromosome is folded.
Different parts of the world are warming at different rates. So while it might be true that a part of the Caribbean warmed by 1.7 degrees, that doesn't tell us much about the Earth as a whole.
