Oh, that's just ridiculous!
They can give us huge volumes of detail about planets, black holes, and other celestial bodies that are umpty-bazijillion light years away, but they don't know anything about our own Sun?
... Or is it just that, with a celestial body that's so close to us, fact-checking becomes a serious threat to their statements?

No, it just means that the model of the sun works fine for the gross elements (surface temperature, mass-luminosity ratio, etc.), but needs modification for the new data discovered. It may mean that a "steady state" (== no major changes occur in the sun) model is wrong, and the sun must be treated as a variable star.
It remains to be seen how much of this is applicable to other stars - do they also vary on very short periods, or are they more stable?

It's not even that much of a surprise. PSP was build because we don't have a good understanding of what heats the corona and powers the solar wind.

So why is 2.2 being axed? /trollface

Microsoft developer technologies fared well in Upwork's list of the top 100 in-demand skills as compiled by the freelancer-focused careers company. Must have 20 years experience with .NET Core using Typescript
Just be sure to pick the right version of .NET Core (see next)
The list though. Makes no sense. I do like the idea of recruiting for Technical Recruiter. Very tautological. And I've no clue why "Landing Pages" is so high.

Better get my "eBooks" certificate 
Only numbers 1, 2 and 15 on that list make any sense...
It makes a bit more sense when you realize this isn't just tech: "The top 10 industries hiring U.S. freelancers for the Top 100 skills are 1) Consulting 2) Internet Software & Services 3) Internet 4) Consumer Discretionary 5) Health Care 6) Consumer Staples 7) Publishing 8) Education 9) Advertising and 10) Specialized Consumer Services"
The list as a whole[^] makes a bit more sense, although stuff like "eBooks" and "eLearning" sounds like they're putting the output in the list rather than the skill like "author" or "writing" or "(educational) content creator" or whatever.
That's like saying "software" instead of .NET Core.
"Romance writing" made the list as a separate skill, while that could also mean "eBooks".
The list also has "AWS" on 15, "AWS Lambda" on 80 and "Amazon S3" on 100, those are all AWS...
Seems odd to mention AWS services specifically.
While last years buzzword was Blockchain and this year's (or last few years maybe) is AI/ML, I find them very absent from this list.
Also, over a third of those skills are technical, while far from a third of America works in tech (a bit short of 8% if I'm to believe this article[^] ).

MIT researchers say they’ve taught test subjects how to manipulate their own alpha brain waves, thereby improving attention at a given task. The key: give the participants live feedback of their brain activity. Does it involve a buffer overflow?
I could have sworn I've seen videos of people doing this back in the 90s, if not earlier.

We're currently negotiating with Dr Phil, to drop by and tell all the incompetent wankers underachievers to "forgive themselves" for missing deadlines and screwing up contracts, and for blaming everyone else for their c0ck-ups, getting competent colleagues fired -- but that will cost extra.Kent Sharkey wrote: associated cookbook

A hallmark of this period of creation that mirrors today is a culture of sharing, and we see that in both times, innovators benefited from spaces and mediums to explore, share, and build upon each other. Does this mean I have to start wearing trunk hose?
I was going to go with 'ruff', but apparently they were later than the renaissance (the really egregious ones anyway)

Microsoft has decided to no longer offer the Windows 10 Notepad through the Microsoft Store, which will most likely cause future updates to become available at a slower pace. The guy that downloaded it will be very disappointed

What, didn't everyone enthusiastically adore the new icons and colour scheme that they added to notepad as one of their figurehead improvements in a recent winio update?
There are obviously too many Luddites using computers, these days.
