You Don’t Want to Know Where Scientists Just Found 27 Million Tons of Plastic

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-09 21:55:20

Despite the hundreds of millions of metric tons of plastic floating in our oceans—not to mention the microplastics in our saliva, blood, breast milk, and semen—researchers have been unable to account for all the plastic ever produced. A new study has just tracked down a large portion of it. Researchers from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) and Utrecht University claim to be the first to provide a real estimate of ocean-polluting nanoplastics. Their research indicates that

If the AI’s insights had been available when LIGO was being built, “we would have had something like 10 or 15% better LIGO sensitivity all along,” he said.

An orthographic projection is the best approximation of a view of the earth from space. It’s an azimuthal perspective projection which creates an illusion of a three-dimensional globe. It’s an old projection, believed to have first been developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In our time this perspective feels natural since our culture has assimilated how our planet looks from a spacecraft.

The Gentoo Perl Versioning Scheme A common observation/confusion people have is that the versions used on Perl related things in Gentoo don't directly correspond to upstream versions. This is because Upstream uses two different schemes, and one of those schemes is fundamentally incompatible with Gentoo's. The Problem In most people's minds, this is how version numbers sort: 1.0 1.1 1.5 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.45 This is because you read . as a delimiter for multiple integers. However, in Perl, t

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, there was really only one way to install an application. You would download the app, unpack the archive, run the ./configure command, build the app with make, and then install it with make install. Inevitably, when you ran through that course, you would stumble because of dependencies and have to locate the dependency, run through the same process as you just did (only with the new software), and then find out the ne
