Most plastic goes into landfills — or worse, into the environment. One big reason for these dismal numbers: Plastics are actually quite hard to recycle.

Iran now has >20x as much enriched uranium than it did when Trump cancelled the JCPOA. This outcome is 100% Trump's fault, and the whole Republican party loudly cheered him along as he did it, too, and still believe he was right to help Iran expand its nuclear capabilities in exchange for nothing.

"The Fifth National Climate Assessment, or NCA, is a peer-reviewed collaboration by more than 800 scientists from 14 federal agencies, universities and research institutions."

It has a lot of bad news - and a bit of optimism - for the most climate-denying nation on the planet. Buckle up North America because no where will be immune to the present and future effects of climate change.

"The UK government has presented draft amendments to the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) – otherwise known as “Snoopers Charter,” a highly controversial piece of legislation allowing for wide-scale spying by intelligence agencies.

The plan now is to specify that the authorities have the right to carry out mass surveillance of an internet service within a specific timeframe – and do so “dragnet-style,” by spying on all users of that service during a given time."

"One of the things that came out of the plan being publicly presented by the UK’s king last Tuesday was that there was an idea to introduce the power of veto if and when privately-owned (mostly US) social platforms decide to usher in some “privacy-friendly” features.

Some reports mention that one of the proposed provisions would mean that should globally operating tech/social media companies decide to increase security of their products (the implication here is not difficult to make – it highly likely refers to encryption), they would have to have the UK spying community’s “blessing” first."

I don't know who needs this, but here's some python cheat sheets::

terms that contain interactions of w^+- vector gauge bosons with members of lepton family. fermions involved expanded into + and - energy modes from such we get, for example, the term for the decay of w^+ vector bosons into an outgoing neutrino and outgoing positron, the anti-particle of electron
