If there was any company that I would trust less with a web browser (and related user data) than an ad-tech company, it would be an AI company.

No, Helene's ACE will remain unchanged until the post-season analysis of both storms. It's a measure of the storm's duration and intensity; Helene was a rather short-lived storm with the intense period only occuring for a short time compared to Beryl which is why it has such a lower value than Beryl.

It's been acknowledged in the meteorological community that reconnaissance wind speed estimates for storms in the 1950s and 1960s have a high bias in the most intense storms, as the field was still in its infancy during that time period. Further advancement in later decades has improved the confidence in the estimates.

No conspiracy needed. After all, the first time a hurricane was intentionally flown into by a storm was only in 1943: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943_Surprise_Hurricane. The 1950s and 1960s are not that far removed from that initial attempt.

You are looking at the data for the CMA (China Meteorological Agency). The official data center for the Western Pacific according to the World Meteorological Agency is the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA/Tokyo), but the IBTrACS dataset does not have wind speeds from them for 1958.

The Wikipedia article is sourcing data from the JTWC (Joint Typhoon Warning Center), the US wind column for 1-minute sustained wind speeds. In general, the Wikipedia convention is to include wind speed data from the JMA and JTWC when available.

Yes, it’s a very similar sound. The Welsh <ll> is the voiceless lateral fricative /ɬ/, which is effectively <tl> without the initial ‘t’ at the start of the phoneme.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_and_alveolar_...

In Classical Nahuatl, non-possessed nouns would take the absolutive case with -tl for nouns ending in vowels, and -tli for nouns ending in consonants. [0] Here, as you mentioned, <tl> marks a single consonant: the voiceless alveolar lateral affricate /tɬ/ [1].

> Essentially you're agreeing to a EULA of some sorts, that "offer", and the offer has terms which include a reporting back to publisher. Imagine Oracle using this to capture enterprises that are skirting their license empire.

> Jones, however, told the Washington Examiner that she is not advocating for all children to be put on such medications.

> "I was not making an argument that all youth should be given puberty blockers. This was not an actual proposal, and it is not something I advocate or endorse," Jones said.

> "This was an argument that claims of trans youth’s unreadiness to give consent to puberty blockers, if followed consistently, lead to the conclusion that all youth are likewise not ready for the experience of puberty itself. Because that conclusion is absurd — again, this was not something that I advocated or endorsed — the argument that trans youth can’t consent to puberty blockers is faulty," Jones added.

With all due respect, in this situation you’re claiming that a fringe view in the US (which even the alleged proponent says was not an actual proposal) is the accepted norm, and that anyone who objects is called a transphobe. That’s not the case at all.

> We are acting in the long term: over the next few years we will build the nuclear propulsion systems for our SSBNs and SSNs. If our engineers did not design on-board nuclear boilers for decades, we would weaken this know-how and our sovereignty.

At the very least, they are relying on that nuclear knowledge when the French submarine fleet needs replacing in the future.

I suppose the Uyghurs in detention camps are not included in “their people” then?

Not a presidential election, but the 1974 New Hampshire senate election was redone in September 1975 following multiple contested recounts producing different winners [0]
