Pretty clear this was rushed: there are no comments from external mathematicians, unlike the Erdős announcement:

And take the cover of the Lorsch Gospels: the misshapen fingers, the bulging eyes, the blank expressions -- this is crude, not stylized. You get the sense that art is devolving back to the "archaic smile".

"Instead, it [SARS-CoV-2] appears to be no more concerning than the influenza virus." The citation for this claim is an article in Canada's National Post.

All the other cases we've seen were related to travel to Iran, Italy, Egypt, & China IIRC.
EDIT: one was a woman who returned from Colorado on Mar 2, the other a man who returned from Las Vegas on Feb 28.
These alerts (usually AMBER alerts) are sent to millions of people, accompanied by a loud and startling siren.
You can imagine all sorts of "one-in-a-million" events. The surgeon woken in the middle of the night, who can't get back to sleep and makes a mistake the next day. The startled roofer falling off a ladder. Etc.

* "When The Voice of the Dolphins was published, Leo hadn’t worked in physics in over a decade" fails to mention he switched to biology.
* "His first real permanent address in America was in La Jolla, where he retired" fails to mention he helped setup the Salk Institute (in La Jolla) and was a fellow there.
We're building a 6-meter diameter telescope on a mountain in Chile's Atacama Desert to learn more about how stars form, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, neutrino masses, and the big bang.
The telescope will be shared by multiple instruments, and our group is building the joint software infrastructure: services for controlling the telescope, moving data around, monitoring, alerting, logging, etc.
Stack is still being decided but likely a mix of Go, Python, Redis, Postgres, etc. The telescope site is remote and hostile -- altitude of 5600m in the driest desert on Earth -- so we're focused on fault-tolerance.

(It's listed as a one-year position, but we expect it to last at least 3-4 years)
Email jobs@ccatp.ca if you have any questions.

Respondents argue that “the physical presence rule has permitted start-ups and small businesses to use the Internet as a means to grow their companies and access a national market, without exposing them to the daunting complexity and business-development obstacles of nationwide sales tax collection.” These burdens may pose legitimate concerns in some instances, particularly for small businesses that make a small volume of sales to customers in many States. State taxes differ, not only in the rate imposed but also in the categories of goods that are taxed and, sometimes, the relevant date of purchase. Eventually, software that is available at a reasonable cost may make it easier for small businesses to cope with these problems. Indeed, as the physical presence rule no longer controls, those systems may well become available in a short period of time, either from private providers or from state taxing agencies themselves. And in all events, Congress may legislate to address these problems if it deems it necessary and fit to do so.
In this case, however, South Dakota affords small merchants a reasonable degree of protection. The law at issue requires a merchant to collect the tax only if it does a considerable amount of business in the State; the law is not retroactive; and South Dakota is a party to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, see infra at 23.
Nope, this has nothing to do with dark energy.
> This does, however, screw some of the more classical cosmologists.
Not sure who you're referring to. These results are completely consistent with the standard model of cosmology.
