Which findings, specifically? Because I feel like the article makes a pretty good case for the benefits of studying optogenetics. These three paragraphs in particular succinctly outline that case: Neuroscientists study these patterns of el

Google Earth already has thousands of handmade 3D models, as well as auto generated models. Here is an interesting quora on where Google Earth sources their models from: https://www.quora.com/How-are-the-3D-models-of-buildin

But Arab Spring tweets weren't characterized by racially-charged harassment of other users.

>Twitter has failed to do so here and is showing a blatant political statement (unless there were specific cases of harassment with these people or something, in which case I may be overstepping). Everyone keeps making comments like this

I really wish there was hardware of a similar form factor that ran Pico 8. The Pocket CHIP is a start, but it's a more general-purpose machine with Pico 8 support.

In this context it doesn't usually imply that they literally both drank from a single beer. Just that they each drank a beer in one another's company.

Yeah, it really seems like the author is making an argument against cameras in general. Tourists have been taking pictures for a long time. Instagram didn't invent trying to impress people with photos of your travels.

If their job is to invade my privacy and restrict my liberty then I don't feel obligated to be polite to them. I'm not sure if that makes me a bad person, but I'm certain that the Nazis were all just doing their jobs.

I somehow feel it is a bit sad to make hunting and gathering so industrialized with all of this "agriculture" you're talking about.

This strikes me as a non sequitur. If I wanted to eschew software, I wouldn't be reading about building a "personal food computer."

I couldn't agree more. When I read your enormous procedures full of inlined functions, I still have to break it down into discrete, logical chunks in my brain. This is work, and there's a real chance I'll get it wrong. If you
