it's all dotheads and chinks

This is the dumbest thing ever. If you live in a city or a suburb, you don't need one of these things because you'll be connected to a grid that can give you electricity that is fa…

Well there would obviously be contractual agreements put in place for something like this.

In addition to mitigating errors in copying as you've highlighted, there is also the possibility that some stretch of bases in your message would have some deleterious effect on th…

Supposedly, assuming that the sequence doesn't harm the organism (or that the organism doesn't alter the sequence). Bacillus spores can remain dormant for decades, if not centuries…

>If the feature is a gimmick to you, it's fine If I'm familiar with an application, I don't look at the keyboard. If I'm VERY familiar with an application, I don't even recall comm…

> The researchers think the virus uses latrotoxin to enter animal cells and reach the bacteria that it targets. How would it do that? The phage can't synthesize latrotoxin itself, …

No. Save for the appendices, K & R can be completed and understood in a weekend. It's kind of fun to read and to work through the problems, even if you rarely use C. The Sepples bo…

maybe Michael Crichton or the Harry Potter lady will win it next year...

That's a pretty pathetic standard for "good" Chimeric Antigen Receptor therapy seems like more of a "game changer," given that it's a new therapeutic direction. This is just anothe…

Apparently, these tumors proliferate because they are able to trick killer T cells into not attacking them. The antibody, nivolumab, inhibits this signaling pathway so that the T-c…

Speaking of lithium batteries, I heard from some guy on the Business News that the world is oversupplied with lithium. There's enough to last for decades, apparently.

The fact that you can tack on an extra protein domain to each protein subunit is really neat because it lets you assemble little macromolecules containing several custom functional…

Can you add multiple data channels to SimplePeer?

This was tried 200 years ago, and it fizzled ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Harmony,_Indiana )

A couple of suggestions: 1. It reminds me of the graphical view that is present in the IDA disassembler in which functions are broken into "boxes" wherever there is a jump in contr…

If pregnant, don't go to Brazil. If not pregnant, don't conceive child while in Brazil. I don't really see the issue, here.

If a particular bacterial strain were to become resistant to a particular bacteriocin, we could use directed evolution methods to modify the bacteriocin. For example, say the patho…

Crap link. 1. The solution to extremism is to ban non-white immigration to white countries and to stop embarking on wars of global conquest. 2. What does this have to with programm…

So, a 2D Lua Game Engine with a Scene Editor? At a cursory glance it seems like https://coronalabs.com/ , but it's free, which is nice :).

Does that article have a second page? I read ten paragraphs of preamble followed by two paragraphs of topic. Anyway, it is about using a class of bacteriocidal polypeptides, called…

Isn't this like comparing apples to a fruit salad? Quoting from the React website, "Lots of people use React as the V in MVC," whereas Angular is the whole kit `n' kaboodle. I thou…
