There hasn't been any discussion on the git mailing list about setting up email subscriptions, as far as I have followed the conversation. The idea was only really floated a week or two ago, so the publication is really in its infancy,

This calculation is looking at the amount of genetic material in a cell by (essentially) weight. Let's take that as the right way to compare these for a moment. ---- Nuclear genome (no sex chromosones): 2,881,033,286 base pairs Sex chr

I guess it is! That said, I don't think the 'slippery slope' arguments made in parliament are valid, precisely because this is a very specific kind of genetic modification: > "But one thing is for sure, once this alt

To those wondering, this does not involve gene splicing or anything like that. Instead, defective mitochondria are being replaced with mitochondria from a healthy donor. This technique is only valid for diseases involving defective mitochon

I was particularly interested in the fact that the astronauts going on a mission vote whether or not to take a gun with them (apparently now a standard Russian sidearm), and increasingly vote not to. A very interesting article.

I couldn't work this out from the article, might try digging around for it - How did they know to point the telescope in the right direction? If these bursts last for a significant amount of time do they have an alert system set up mon

This is mentioned in the article. One of the founders, who reportedly had the original idea, tried to start an American version. Laresgoiti had sold his share to López in 2002 and moved to Florida, where he launched Wannado, a theme park s

I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to, but let me give a quick break down of the options here (my day job is primarily consulting around the Atlassian stack of tools). JIRA itself is highly configurable out of the box and most

Yes you lose some context in the screenshot. That comment was posted to the single thread of questions in the sub, and was quickly shot down by the subs mods (u/EchoLogic). Here is a link to the actual comment if anyone is interested i

Yeah, I've been following r/spacex for a little bit. When they started trying to work out some good questions a day ago someone suggested that everyone upvote the resulting questions but the mods there quickly shut that down. [1]

ElCap Reports also has some nice commentary and lots of great photos. Seems a little light on the technical details you want but there is plenty of interest there. http://www.elcapreport.com/

I would really enjoy an annotation system like genius.com How that might work in a scholarly setting I'm not sure. The melting pot of commentary and feedback that can surround a paper is something that individual reviews will always st

I love the idea of PianoCheetah, when I get my piano out of storage will definitely give it a whirl. I tried looking at the demo video to get an idea of what it does, but (almost literally) couldn't follow along to save my life! To get

As a tall person, I actually rather quite like it! I think that life is more enjoyable when you adhere to some simulacrum of Postel's Law: TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness: be conservative in what yo

The most interesting technique I hadn't heard of before (there were a couple!) was using a material that, when cooled, turns into a liquid. It is named Pluronic ink, but they refer to it as 'fugitive ink'. This enables them t

Great concept, but it takes too long to plan shots. It means that people drop out of games quickly. Having a library of functions available would definitely help with this.

It reads like they said what they meant. The hashes cannot be used to obtain access to the folder; it is just a way to discover the IP addresses of devices with the same folder. Hashes also cannot be guessed; it is a 160 bit number, which

That is where I think I come down on it too. There are (probably, I don't really know) so many people out there who are either good writers or have good stories, it would not be so surprising if there are a significant number of people

That would have no coanda effect though, right? I want an experiment that has only coanda (or similar) effects in play.

Yes, please excuse my ignorance of the technical use of the terms. It would be interesting to see an experiment that isolated any divergence of the airstream caused by Coanda-like effects. I don't know what that experiment would look l
