Take a walk on a busy avenue and you hear either traffic whizzing by or creeping in a honk-laden crawl. Add the hissing of pneumatic bus brakes, distant sirens, the boom-boom of overloud car stereos, the occasional car alarm, music coming from shops you pass, the beeping of a reversing delivery truck. All are part of the fabric of city life.

Prior to the rise of urban culture, the sounds of clucking hens must have been among the world’s most ubiquitous annoyances. For millennia, humans have been “up with the chickens,” demarcating time by the rooster’s crow. But the infernal clucking of poultry must have constituted a constant din. It seems odd, then, that this obnoxious noise has found its way into a vast repertoire of music, from “La Poule” by French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau in 1726 to “Chick Chick” by Chinese pop singer Wang Rong Rollin in 2014.

On a chilly evening last fall, I stared into nothingness out of the floor-to-ceiling windows in my office on the outskirts of Harvard’s campus. As a purplish-red sun set, I sat brooding over my dataset on rat brains. I thought of the cold windowless rooms in downtown Boston, home to Harvard’s high-performance computing center, where computer servers were holding on to a precious 48 terabytes of my data. I have recorded the 13 trillion numbers in this dataset as part of my Ph.D. experiments, asking... Читать дальше...

Protectionism is reviving in Washington on both sides of the political aisle. Democrats are cheering proposals to restrict trade to benefit labor unions and save the environment while some Republicans are reviving Smoot-Hawley style salvation schemes. Protectionist advocates routinely seize the moral high ground—at least as it is scored in Washington—by promising that restricting imports will magically produce fair trade.

As the United States slowly begins to recover from the economic low-point of the pandemic, some states are getting left behind. Jobs numbers are creeping up around the country, but five states -- Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming, New Mexico and Louisiana -- have not yet recovered more than half of the jobs lost over the course of the pandemic according to a recent report from Fitch Ratings based on data gathered in August.  Notably, of these five states, Hawaii is the only one that doesn’t count oil and gas as a key part of its economy.

The CDC has cleared up one of the ambiguities in its recent COVID-19 booster shot recommendations: If you got a third shot of one of the mRNA vaccines because you have a weakened immune system, that third shot is not considered your booster. You can still get a booster, if you fall into one of the categories for whom…

From the Austen adaptations of the ‘90s to queer love stories of the late 2010s, period dramas have always held a special place in audience’s hearts and on their screens. Many accomplished filmmakers and actors have put their own stamp on beloved source material, while others have crafted historical fictions. Whether they lean classic or contemporary, comedy or straight-laced drama, all of these works share a love for witty banter, elaborate costumes and of course, the marriage plot.

Helicopters,

A tiltrotor could be crucial for the PLAN, as it could provide better airlift capability for troops and material from a carrier deck than traditional helicopters, especially in an armed conflict in the Taiwan Strait, East or South China Seas.

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey remains the most successful tiltrotor military aircraft, offering both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It also combines the... Читать дальше...
