Nearly 100 million years ago, snakes weren’t the sleek, limbless creatures we know today—they still had hind legs and even a cheekbone that has almost vanished in modern species.

Как считается рейтинг в Яндекс Картах и почему это не среднее арифметическое

Несколько лет я занимаюсь продвижением организаций в Яндекс Картах и постоянно сталкиваюсь с одним и тем же недопониманием у владельцев бизнеса. Рейтинг воспринимают как среднее арифметическое оценок, а позицию в выдаче как прямое следствие рейтинга. Оба предположения неверны, и из-за них люди годами вкладываются не в то.Здесь разберу задачу с инженерной стороны, почему наивное среднее не работает в принципе, какими стандартными приёмами вообще решают задачу расчёта рейтингов, что из этого...

A major study of Australian native bees found that stem-nesting species may be the first to feel the impact of climate change. Unlike bees that nest underground, they have few ways to escape dangerous heat. Researchers also discovered that tropical bees are particularly vulnerable, even when they are already adapted to hot environments. The findings suggest bee behavior could be a key factor in determining which species survive a warming... Read more

Plague was already a deadly killer 5,500 years ago, long before cities, farming, or the rat-infested conditions usually linked to historic outbreaks. By analyzing ancient DNA from hunter-gatherer cemeteries in Siberia, researchers discovered early plague strains in nearly 40% of the individuals studied and found evidence of rapid family-based outbreaks that wiped out many children and young teenagers.

A new study suggests Southern California's major fault system is more stressed than at any point in the last 1,000 years. Researchers found that the Cajon Pass, where the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults meet, could act as an “earthquake gate” that determines whether a future rupture spreads across both faults. Current conditions resemble those that preceded some of the region’s largest historical earthquakes. Read more

Using NASA- and JAXA-supported XRISM observations of a galaxy called NGC 4151, researchers found strong evidence that supermassive black holes can unleash powerful winds that blow away the raw material needed to make new stars.
