Cancer rates are increased in any Nuclear Powerplant, let alone on that has had a meltdown.

Indeed you're right. This is a textbook example of bad cartographic design. I mean, at least use a raster coloring into discretized boxes and not so much null black space. Ugh...those data scientists at Facebook need some ArcGIS training BAD

Except that the Three Mile Island nuclear generating station never catastrophically exploded, very little radiation was actually released into the atmosphere, no cases of cancer have ever been conclusively linked to the accident, it was fully cleaned up, the site was never poisoned, virtually everyone who evacuated…

I always find it interesting what when mentioning nuclear reactor problems, Americans tend to reference Chernobyl. It's as if the Three Mile Island disaster never happened.

The colors of the dots are what's representative of the data, not the dots themselves. Although, yeah, its a particularly sloppy way to present the data on a map.

Didn't the Soviets just say, "Fuck it, we're out of here" ?

This whole Fukushima fiasco has really destroyed my confidence in Japanese technical ability. First they build the reactor in about the worst place possible, an earthquake/tsunami zone, but then they continually botch the clean up job. Soviet era Ukrainians did a better job.

So basically this....

Whoah there! This is NOT normalized to population, so it give impression that the western portion of the US are a bunch of cold hearted, ambivilent jerks. Not so! In fact, I bet if you did account for population density, it would show that "true love" exists well beyond the east and west coast.

This reminds me of this:

Tempting, but one of the comments says it takes 3 hours to mostly dry larger loads - no sale here. Plus, even in the description "Drying times vary and will take longer than conventional dryers".

Here you go!

Something like that exists - google remote control oven. There's even some that are both cooling units AND ovens - so you can, say, toss a roast in the "oven" set on cool until 2, then turn on the oven to the heat of your choosing, and voila, you get home to a nicely cooked meal.

All I really want is an app to let me remotely preheat my oven before my commute home.

This is a problem, yes. People seem more focused on showing other people where they were and what they did than in actually doing things. Instead of sitting and actually listening to the man talk they recorded it so they could show family and friends that they were there. So, the importance has shifted from listening…

I can't speak to your overall question without digging into the literature more, but in this specific example, this is a drug that we already know works in humans in the lab. Finding a delivery method that works well in actual use is the problem. So in this particular case, the drug is going back to animal study after…

Those bastards at Exxon.... trying to supply energy to vast amounts of humans and having the audacity to attempt to make a profit. AND running PR campaigns? What's the world coming to? And let's not even get started with Disney, using its own intellectual property for an exhibit that talks about where we got our…

Jesus, commenters. Can you not read the story and appreciate it for what it is instead of reading "Apple Store" in the title and scrolling down to yell about how much you hate big corporations and their bullshit? We get it, you're an unhappy person. So are the people who work in retail for a living. You probably make…

Denver International has even more disturbing artwork... The horse is in fact the least of my concern:
