My initial hypothesis is that there's something present in the early stages of life that has a higher energy state making it unsustainable for use in a certain conformation and so it was nearly immediately selected out. E.g. a ring str

I complain about it frequently, actually, in context of commercial use and the "commons" the Internet is founded on. These things also don't compare.

Even better that it got published in Cell.

D&K ironically misengineered their tests and inadventently misconstrued their data due to floor and ceiling effects. If you ran the gamut of their tests against random noise you get similar results. https://www.mcgill.ca&#x2F

Golden rice had the same problem if I recall correctly. The populations that it was designed to serve were reluctant to eat it because the yellow coloration was similar to that of a particular species of mold they were enculturated to avoid

Yeah I'd say it's almost certainly veiled in irony given the context. Something derived from reefer madness stylization. I do it as well, quite literally using that phrase. Tinges of unguided parentalism and the vogue surrounding

Yeah, but you've already got your friend circle, right? With the socioeconomic-geographic mobility situation - people moving to get good jobs, better lifestyles, and increased quality of life may not. And there are of course regressive

I find modeling to be super intractable. I've sat down several times to attempt a project and I always get super fixated on details. It's seldom good enough for me to just make it look right, I want it to be technically correct. A

I expect a contributing factor to this is natural inference. Delayed gratification is just fine for certain windows and in certain domains. But continuous delay (or non-gratifying outcomes) are surefire ends to update priors. Anecdotally, I

It's honestly derogatory. I would posit this type of research is strongly motivated by the wont of certain individuals to dispel outright any conception of superstition. A la hard-line atheists. They're not intent on observation a

The article states that some women synchronize with moon cycles and even professes skeptical speculation that premodern women may have been explicitly attuned. Just putting two and two together. I know I'd be irritable if I had to deal

This is interesting. I used to work in schools and the teachers swore the swelling of the full moon was a harbinger of bad behavior. It was a predominately female cohort. I wonder if it was the onset of menses sensitizing them to aggravatio

What's the legality like on this? I know there's a comprehensive testing lab in Spain, but I feel like shipping LSD across the US via the postal system alone is a multiple felony, not to mention overseas travel? Is there a legal e

We touched on polyploidy in genetics of course but I don't recall anything that was particularly salient insofar as resistances. In humans xploidy typically results in either excessive protein expression or compromised (≤50%) protein e

This isn't a math problem, it's not a stats problem. Realizing this abstraction of numbers is an error of reification. What's really worthy of consideration is the holistic picture which as of yet can not be resolved due to t

Seconding this, I love HN because it gives a wide gamut of exposure, it's a glorious nexus of information, however as a MolB I'd love to have something more narrow when it comes to narrowing things down to academic work.

No, people should shoulder the burden and when a business model is untenable, there should be a correction which is instantiated by a lack of labor. It's neither the company nor the governments responsibility to dictate what the market

Thank God people are moving towards this modality. I have a fervent hatred for textbooks and publishers. The former are antiquated, static, badly formatted, and often ride with distracting garbage in the margin, or worse inline. It makes ac

I think Gandhi sorta covers the penultimate conclusion of this train, and that's highly local production. A sort of sentimentality and pride. Maybe you chipped in somewhere along the chain, all the socks in the city have a little bit o

I'd say it has the opposite, the desktop itself is shared among several virtual environments. However, I believe W8 did have it. You know how you swipe between pages on a phone desktop? Organize all the logically coherent things togeth

I find it remarkable that there really doesn't seem like a lot of momentum to innovate the desktop. I'm dead sick of Windows and Mint is just a carbon copy. I want several, hard, discrete desktops. I want one that I can toss a bun

This is an interesting take and it got me thinking. The replacement rate in the US is not 4. In fact, I would imagine that 4 is probably unsustainable. I like to see money more as a chemical gradient a la chemotaxis, though more clever pe

This is really frustrating and I would argue feeds into a lot of accessibility issues even outside the more salient points surrounding the handicapped. The fact that vehicles have grown so large that on-street parking has become virtually n

Same, though on both counts it was totally unintentional. Sorry, Logan.

Conversely, were over-diagnosing and now everyone is ill. Which necessarily follows because the closer you look the fewer people are "normal". In fact I'd go so far as to posit that everyone is aberrant, to nobody's surp

I don't think that's fair. There are a lot of instances where people go out of their way to experiment with systems despite limited literacy. The example that seems most salient is PSP homebrew, something I was doing at the age of

I think one of the elements at play here is the appeal of not facing criminal charges for use. Because Oregon opted for early adoption, Oregon became a hotspot. It makes some sense that this would create a disproportionate response, and dra

Homogenizing expected behavior is a pretty good idea, it allows open source software to compete at a commodity level instead of a principle or fundamentals level - which considering the open source position would make a pretty good deal of

The Horde didn't let that stop them, nor the Romans, not the Spaniards. Certainly there were bottlenecks, but there's instances of insane trade networks for instance Indus Valley artifacts turning up in the EU region and South Ame

I think there are actually a lot of demands that are unserviced in the phone market. There really isn't a way for the consumer to signal this, though. In lieu of consumers I think companies tend to listen to influencers and journalists
