It is just the press release. There’s a submission to ACS that looks completely valid.

I'm not sure it's equivalent to building a mental map of a 3D space. It certainly might be, but I can also imagine that it might have key differences.

The correlation alone provides evidence of something worth pursuing and understanding. They do have some possible causation when considering hippocampus development observed in taxi drivers in other studies.

I hear people saying this, but at the same time, I feel like I read about bird flu almost daily in stories that involve scientists and researchers, so I’m not sure who is ignoring it or what we should be doing differently.

typically, yes. Tsunamis are usually unnoticeable away from the shore. They aren't like a massive, traveling, cresting wave. They are usually a pulse of high energy that can move a lot of water just a few feet, which can be devastating

I’m so freaking sick of tall cars/trucks with LED beams that are so bright.

I remember when I briefly lived in WV, we had a bat in our house and after knocking it down with a pillow, I needed to remove it, and i was WAY too much of a scaredy-cat to remotely touch it bare-handed. I came up with an elaborate procedur

Harder and harder to use swift to just build apps without getting caught up in some detailed computer science concepts.

Not sure if it's remotely correct, but I immediately thought of Bone Tomahawk. <shudders>

At any given point people are more likely to offer you more $$ for accumulated skills rather than pay you while you learn those new skills.

Her main point was absolutely defensible. Making embarrassingly false statements should never have gotten past the editors of a scientific publication. Honestly, just to protect the author who clearly did not have the background to be expec

all of the "Trust/Believe X" statements would be profoundly improved by substituting "Take X seriously". It makes the same point without posing the obvious problems with trust and believe

only a problem when it leads to publishing obviously false statements and never correcting them, such as the "The so-called normal distribution of statistics assumes that there are default humans who serve as the standard that the rest

I remember when that article wildly mis-describing the normal distribution came out and I was so sad. It was just so embarrassing. The author was in no way qualified, yet the burden rests on the editors of a publication with the reputation

When my grandmother died, she had a little box of programs, a couple letters, and a few little clippings of newspaper items. It was such a special thing to discover. I can’t rule out that digitizing everything makes such moments impossible,

a water test is the only reliable way to know if the lead pipe to your house is a problem. typically they get coated internally, and barring water acidity levels a la Flint, there is no leaching. But either way, testing the water itself wil

frustrating. I have sympathy for them, b/c it is actually a catch-22. one rogue prescribed burn can cost millions and millions. meanwhile forests keep burning in unplanned ways.

Even if there’s a risk of a “Dark sky” outcome, I’m still happy, because I figured that Pixelmator was at long term risk of getting squeezed in the photo-editing market. It’s just tough for indie devs playing with the big boys.

yeah, there's something missing in the instructions regarding the first Nand gate. I understand how a NAND Gate is constructed but I can't figure out how to combine the outputs of the two relays in this tool

for a $500 plane ticket and a 4 hour drive, seems like someone has surely gone there by now, just to ground-truth this. Otherwise, seems like a fun (with plenty of risks, obvs) way of being "the first" to lay eyes on this.

It is quite literally a regulatory issue. Orange County just recently shut down a permit for a significant desal plant with a ton of planning. Very frustrating.

There’s just so much guesswork with these as interview questions. The number of different problem spaces is non-trivial, and understanding the nature of the problem space for use in work is quite different from being able to work out a prob

I like this idea, but I wonder if the people (like me) most likely to benefit from this idea are precisely the people that would turn the holding pen into an undifferentiated trash bin in the same way that any empty surface gets filled over

Any idea how long is this rollout going to be? I still don't have access to it. (not that you're in charge of the rollout pace)

I agree it’s a little overstated, but regardless, Sodium and Chromium are much simpler to use.
