This is so exciting! The field of synthetic biology is advancing rapidly, and apart from the social stigma at times: it's a really promising technology. When I was still an undergrad I was lucky enough to participate in the Internation

Another interesting tidbit is that Evidence Based Medicine, what we've come to known as randomized controlled trials with systematic reviews, is /much/ younger than people think. The movement properly started in the 1960s, bu

I just wish they would sell mono cameras more (e.g. without the Bayer mask). Heck, I don't even need the camera. Just sell the chip and let companies like Atik, StarlightExpress and QHY pick them up.

That's not true. Old mercury and sodium lights are much easier to filter since their emission lines are narrow. LED often has a very broad and spiky spectrum, which makes it almost impossible to filter. (Source: astrophotographer). You

Or get an IDAS-LPS, CLS or UHC filter (either on the lens or as a sensor clip on). Or stack a bunch of images with proper dark substraction. If you stack enough light sub frames you can efficiently reconstruct dynamic range. Of course the E

Yep, thing that's often overlooked is that the Waddenzee is pretty much a lost cause though, with all the one-of-a-kind flora and fauna that lives there. If the sea rises a couple more centimeters the area will no longer be dry during

There's a larger truth hidden in here: experts disagree. It was one of the things that took me by surprise when building Machine Learning systems, but it makes sense if you think about it. For all but the most trivial matters, it'

It's not just that overpopulation is a major problem. It's that I'd rather save them the burden of existence in a world that will be substantially less habitable. Not quite sure what to make of your comment other than some no

It's silly to think we're unable to change. Nearly all of the CO2 emissions were done in just a generation. Post-world war 2 industrialization, automation and globalization caused the vast majority of CO2. There are still people a

most implementations are not arbitrary length, but instead rely on padding to make it a fix length sequence.

We use quite a bit of SPARQL to reason over medical ontologies. It's not exactly "semantic web", but ontological knowledge (such as the Gene Database, UMLS, etc) are naturally serialized in graphs, which makes them an excelle

Enhanced color isn't exactly right. Most nebula images are done with Narrow Band filters that only let a specific wavelength through. Typically those of Hydrogen alpha, sulfur II and oxygen III emissions. This gives three monochrome ch

Here's a silly trick we used for a similar problem: use zlib with a custom compression dictionary. Our application had tons of interlinks (think linked data) that we wanted to expose to the end user, but putting urls in urls is kinda

Being a huge fan of the genre of "interactive narratives", I have to disagree. Games like Gone Home, Life is Strange, Mass Effect, Skyrim, Fallout, Deus Ex, and others have had a profound impact on me. The author doesn't see
