Linda Evans graces this week's meta blog post. Because there is plenty of science stuff, retro stuff and udder stuff that a growing boy needs

Bizarre Weather on Other Planets |
Out of all of the planets in the Solar System, Mars is by far the most earth-like. Nonetheless, with its extremely tenuous atmosphere, there’s no rain, and water would evaporate almost instantly on the surface. However, the Red Planet is famous for its enormous dust storms, which can easily outdo anything seen here on Earth. Rarely, wind speeds on Mars can reach as much as 100 mph, subjecting the desert world to global dust storms on occasion. Nonetheless, while the wind speeds can be high, it would feel like nothing more than a light breeze to astronauts walking on the surface, due to the thin atmosphere and subsequent lack of atmospheric friction. This fact was something that the otherwise relatively scientifically accurate movie ‘The Martian’ failed to take into account.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI is the broadest term, applying to any technique that enables computers to mimic human intelligence, using logic, if-then rules, decision trees, and machine learning (including deep learning).
MACHINE LEARNING
The subset of AI that includes abstruse statistical techniques that enable machines to improve at tasks with experience. The category includes deep learning.
DEEP LEARNING (a good read)
The subset of machine learning composed of algorithms that permit software to train itself to perform tasks, like speech and image recognition, by exposing multilayered neural networks to vast amounts of data.
OK... I am not paranoid! My E-mails are being scanned!
Yahoo secretly scanned customer emails for the Alphabet Soup agencies
The eye-opening details, reported first by Reuters, are believed to be the first time a technology firm has built a custom software to search correspondence as messages arrived.
Compliance with the request led to Yahoo's chief information security officer Alex Stamos leaving the company (he is now at Facebook), it is said. When his security team discovered the code in 2015, they believed it was the work of hackers.
"We narrowly interpret every government request for user data to minimize disclosure,"Yahoo said in a statement to AFP. "The mail scanning described in the article does not exist on our systems."
