It's been around for a decade and was $1k in early access, so don't hold your breath.

Per the article, ONT sells tiny sequencers that all this genre of "Omg I just sequenced my genome" posts use. They've been around for a decade or so. A commercial lab will give you…

The good thing is we've learned this already from cloud. When one AWS region is degraded we all failover to other regions, and then other cloud providers, right? ...right?

Roll your own

Even simpler it just takes screenshots (or at least that's what it was doing last time I used it)

> In complex systems, such as the human body, the only evidence of safety is time -- a very long time. The Stevia plant (though not the same as extract) has been used for centuries…

This is an example of the "appeal to nature" logical fallacy. You may be able to make a case that Stevia is healthier than Aspartame, but it should be based on evidence to that eff…

In the bioinformatics sphere there is this MIT-licensed Stack Exchange clone: https://github.com/ialbert/biostar-central

All crops are inclined to be grown in monocultures. That's because even if you'd get more yield pairing with other species — as in these studies — pragmatically the time and cost o…

These are indeed links but quite random ones. Mostly they are reporting that growing two things together in a field can give higher yields than growing a single thing. None seem to…

I'm not sure if this was an unfortunate accident but almost every banana worldwide is essentially genetically identical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_banana

To re-iterate: there is no biodiversity in agriculture. As an example, "non-GMO" bananas are cloned from a single species the world over. If you'd be concerned about a single disea…

There is no biodiversity in agriculture. Whether or not the seeds you purchased have been edited to add drought resistance or high vitamin A content or other fantastic benefits to …

I agree, I'm guessing the highest (arguably avoidable) risk to a baby or child is driving them around in a car.

Your points in order were: 1. There's no way to hedge against inflation (you didn't know TIPS existed) 2. Having learned about TIPS you assert they're illiquid and can't be traded …

Erm, just buy a TIPS fund like VIPSX from Vanguard.

> You can't even hedge inflation without the stock market (or real estate, if you can afford the buy-in). See also: treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS).

Proteins are written in standardised IUPAC amino acid codes that carry some semantic meaning, e.g. Alanine: A, Glycine: G etc. Also viral genomes often have overlapping transcripti…

Suspend?

Also CRAN, which is still meant to be pronounced C-RAN as an homage.

It's an academic webpage so by definition at least a decade since last updated.
