I'm perplexed as to how the author managed to find the Pixiv sign-up page offensive - if he hadn't mentioned it I would never have made the connection myself.

I will admit that I am not very familiar with the bitcoin gambling scene. It's hard to imagine that people will go through the trouble to bet with bitcoin when most places in the world with good infrastructure to support bitcoin also t

Because of the myriad of firewalls and routers that don't understand IP protocols that isn't TCP or UDP. IPsec tunnels were commonly encapsulated in UDP packets for this very reason because its safer to assume that at least one de

The problem with embyros is that they can be inject with any DNA for a trasient positive result but these may well be discarded or inactivated during development. The recently debuked STAP cells used injected embyros as evidence and it turn

There is no reliable or efficient vector to introduce fluoresence to somatic cells in a horse-sized animal, so no, 1 month is still way too short. You seem to have a highly romanticised idea about the capability of GM but it is misguided. B

Neither technique will work in the timeframe you specified because gestation time for horses are almost a year long. On the other hand, one can slowly breed for desirable traits such as speed, endurance or disease resistance in horses, good

The 5 minute video is extremely misinformed if not outright wrong. There is no such thing as an "extended block" in the current form of Segwit[0]. I've linked to a better explanation down below. It does run 12 minutes but you

Modern breeding involves actively mutating known species with DNA-altering chemical mutagen and ionising radiation. Think fuzzing vs. static code analysis, which one would you do first when it comes to debugging? >Breeding is selection o

The organic food industry is just as, if not more guilty of astroturfing, but in any case it's impossible to have a nuanced conversation with those whose level of argument never goes beyond "baa baa monsanto evil GM poison" I

Low carb is fine, however one cannot survive on protein alone as the main energy source.

by Laforet 9y ago
The linked article actually describes limitations with low carbohydrate diets. Attempts to make up yhe caloric deficiency with only protein is bad as the body struggles to keep nitrogen balance. Given plenty of carbohydrates, it is possible

Not the poster above, but I think the main issue is with the cost to provide proof of work in a trustless network. For example, bitcoin is already at or close to the point where the most efficient mining operations have a hard time turning

Mining is centralised enough that large voting blocks already exist, so there is no telling right now which side will win. If the ETH/ETC split is anything to go by, both chaons will survive but only one is going to suceed

I am not sure if there has to be a "canonical" registry. For example, most western countries have multiple competing credit rating agencies reporting on individual identities and the system seems to work okay on that aspect. I wil

There is no guarantee you'd win in court, especially if your domain is seized by a state level actor. This is why I think private keys combined with some kind of immutable log (cough...blockchain...cough) are far better as identity tok
