It is a very practical field of math, especially for computer scientists (Graphics, some variants of machine learning, pretty much any large scale computation with chunks that can be processed in parallel), which is probably where people de

I very much doubted this assertion (Regarding 2/3rds of millennial not having a college degree) given that I'm a millennial who grew up in a relatively rural area where nearly everyone from my high school still either went on to e

I've been having difficulty rating my uber drivers lately, given that I feel like I'm being pushed into participating much like the characters in the show. Seeing the "I can't drive if my rating is below 4.7" signs

There have been some recent papers in subsets of genomics with a bit more data (Transcription factor binding, for example [1]). You're correct though, definitely depends on your problem. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2

His gift was to tell a story in a way that both entertained and informed. His paragraphs invoked both interest and caused me to think about the world in a different way. I'll attach a snippet from Slaughterhouse Five, where Vonnegut

What an incredible writer, with this piece just reinforcing it. Vonnegut has expressed more feelings, described the world more clearly, and opened my mind more widely than any other author. I remember reading Slaughterhouse Five (the firs

After finishing the season today, they've really stepped up their game, it seems, from the previous seasons.

I think the group he is referring to is my parent's demographic, working class Americans in factories. Whereas the Democratic party once supported labor movements and unionization as a primary cause, social welfare and rights issue ha

My parents and collegiate experiences were much like the author's. I would call them asking for advice, only for them to ask about how I'm pursuing happiness. That openness and lack of using perfection as a goal allowed me to pu

There are a few types of microscopy probably being used here, but effectively we can detect color insofar as we are using a light wavelength. The Abbe equation describes the maximum resolution (The distance at which two points look like on

For the most part new projects have been doing a good job of either working with Python 3 out of the gate or making it a main priority (Issue #1 on Tensorflow was Python 3). In general, you'll be fine with Python 3 now. Some older, a

Have you listened to the Freakonomics podcast [1] on this exact question? It was an interesting exploration of "How to get more grit". If I remember correctly, many of the episodes around that time period (May of this year) were

The holy grail would be fixing commonly occurring mutations that cause the cancer, but to my knowledge the edit/correction rate is too low for this to work currently, plus the possibility of causing more cancer by bad edits. Thus, the

If you consider the genome to be information, life is effectively the process that information supports by encoding a method to accomplish the process. Replicating and using energy in a coordinated manner are two processes of life, but the

Additive method: Synthesize genomes with the genes you expect to be necessary, pretty much an optimization problem on the number of genes where you continually try to remove genes that were in previous iterations. Subtraction method: After
