Neopolitan is a setup for failure in the home kitchen. It's one of the most demanding styles in terms of equipment and preparation. It makes zero sense to pursue it at home unless you actually have a very strong preference for this s

They can tell you anything they like, doesn't make it true. When put up against a real triangle/discrimination test, they just don't stack up. I'm not saying they don't do anything, but claims of being able to disc

I've seen a lot of "just asking questions" about the difference between astroturfing vs. grassroots in discussion related to this issue. Phrased in an oddly similar way. Keep your head on a swivel.

Why Tobacco? It's a classic plant model system, and is particularly amenable to transformation. You can do transient assays by loading your construct into agrobacterium, and then simply squirting that onto some leaves. Generally you

Youtube has about three orders of magnitude greater revenue than Patreon. Do you think Patreon could grow 1000 times by scaling to the size of Youtube? I love the direct-support model as a consumer/viewer, but I have significant doubt

Unfortunately, this isn't how Twitch operates, either. Twitch is primarily an ad platform. That's where they make most of their money, and why they're making changes to increase ad impressions. Subscriptions used to give yo

And crucially, the context of the shared space makes a large difference. You simply cannot compare 6ft. outdoors with lots of ventilation vs. indoors and forced air vs. indoors and no ventilation. The choir practice should not be an exampl

Get some cheap clippers, use the ~#2 guard, and deforest that shit. Crack hair is useful for a lot of things, keeping skin from rubbing, fart silencing, sweat management, etc. But you only need a bit of hair for that to work. 80% of the l

Time will tell whether it's a crisis bump or a sustained trend. I wouldn't give it much weight for now.

Markets are complicated. Especially in the short term, you have large forces that aren't concerned only with future expected value. For instance, if you manage a fund that sold substantially on the way down, you now have a great deal

The vast majority of medical professionals are not researchers, and are not trained in evaluating clinical trial data. They are notoriously poor at assessing such information. You can be a remarkable clinician without ever interacting with

> LIDAR cannot see though fog Simply depends on what wavelength of light you use. Water-absorbing frequencies are nice because the atmosphere then shields most light, giving you nice SNR from your laser illumination. But better sensors

Your snarky reply is several years out of date. https://insideevs.com/news/362674/global-ev-sales-in-june-20... Nissan is far down, below Tesla, BYD, BAIC, SAIC, and BMW. And that's sales number, not revenue

Not everything . The lead keel, some of the decking and hardware, some of the side planking, etc. are all being kept. Certainly most of the ship is being replaced, but not all.

MCAS was required to keep a linear relationship between the force applied to the flight stick and the pitch-up control moment. There is nothing magical about this linear relationship; it is an intuitive configuration for pilots, but many ot

"Cheating" with hops is a dumb myth that needs to die. High hopping rates present a number of challenges that make this notion ridiculous. Shitty brewers make shitty hoppy beers just as much as they make shitty lagers, ambers, e

Base for the major models is just shy of $30k, and average is a hair's breadth from $50k. That's the market. There's other stuff out there, sure, but what people are actually buying is well north of the Tesla base price.

Oddly enough, the Amazon 'Vine' program could be more reliable than other reviews; that program rewards critical reviews just as much as positive ones. There is no quid pro quo.

2.5 micron is basically the metric value for a 'tenth', i.e. one ten-thousandths of an inch. A typical machine shop will usually work in tolerances of a 'thou' or two, but most are equipped to measure to tenths without

Sorry, but this fundamentally misunderstands how sequencing technology works. The kind of DNA sequencing you do on the population/genome scale is of relatively low quality and depends on a reference genome. It is not a de novo seque
