There’s no misconception. Until I commented, there was no disclaimer stating that the code was not ready for production use and was for research purposes only. Very few people are qualified to review and critique this type of codebase so it

Appreciate the disclaimer. One of the challenges you are facing is that people consume software illogically based on marketing and popularity rather than code review and fit. Making sure to market and disclaim that this is a research implem

Not sure if OP is the author but thanks for sharing. Secret management is a challenge for a lot of folks. For the authors, here are a couple of items that made it hard for me to evaluate the project: 1. This project doesn't build for m

Most likely the API Gateway speaks HTTP so it's no different than communicating with any other HTTP API. The API Gateway has a number of roles: routing requests to the right backend(s), checking the health of one or more backends, prov

This is a manufacturing defect. Contact Tesla service and they'll fix it. I had some areas of the factory tint on the moonroof that has holes in it and they replaced the moonroof without any hassles.

Agree that this seems suspect. Have had free domains with plenty of traffic on them for years.

We’re not even close to having the tech for bulletproof clothing that’s the same weight as jeans. Most level 4 body armor is either ceramic plates or steel plates. For level 2 (9mm), there are vests as light as 5 lbs. Midweight jeans typica

If the gateway used to receive these requests cannot decrypt them and they pass through other connections before decryption, why wouldn’t this be possible? At the point of decryption you’d have the connecting IP of the last hop but if the o

It would seem logical that this is more of “our brains can get overloaded and must shed the extra chaos” than we operate near a specific tipping point all the time. In a system that expends energy to do its job, a well designed system would

I find that browser automation impresses both adults and children. It would help to find something content relevant to them like for example, some multi page website where they would have to fill forms or click on things. Skip headless and

Curious about this. Are you expecting something different than going to the safari settings and enabling a third party content blocker? What are you looking for that isn’t offered by that feature?

Interesting. I may be biased in the other direction after reading "The Epigenetics Revolution" and "Junk DNA" by Nessa Carey. ENCODE is such an amazing project! Also, thanks for your research on non coding DNA.

Whole genome sequencing on humans has only existed for 16 years (1). In 2003, the cost was prohibitive until NGS (next generation sequencing) techniques became commercialized. We can definitely disagree here as 15 years of research which in

I have to disagree. Whole genome sequencing has only been prevalent in the past few years. I can agree that much of this has to do with the cost and complexity involved and the rise of new techniques and more computing power has opened up w

Agreed, maybe I misspoke but I wasn’t aware of any place I said it did. “Junk DNA” is a well accepted term by the scientific community and public. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-junk-dna-... Humorou

Maybe my wording wasn’t clear. I never implied that everyone is ignoring non coding DNA. My point was that it seems naive or arrogant to label something as “not useful” rather than “use unknown”. It makes it less likely that a larger amount

I’m assuming more than 2% efficiency would be achieved. I could be wrong but why would I assume that when most other systems in the body are massively more efficient that DNA would be the outlier?

Sure, I even made this point when I pointed out that the appendix has gotten carried along for the ride in another comment. Do you really believe that 75-98.8% of our DNA serves no purpose and is being carried along for the ride? That doesn

I can absolutely appreciate that we are a series of mutations. To say that there is no benefit or detriment to having an arched nose or not also seems naive. It’s likely that the shape of your nose can affect how much air passes to your lun

Here’s the Wikipedia quote: > When there is much non-coding DNA, a large proportion appears to have no biological function, as predicted in the 1960s. Since that time, this non-functional portion has controversially been called "jun

I don’t believe it exists without benefit. Nature can certainly phase parts of our system out over time (appendix) but to say it is without benefit is a bold statement. I’d argue that we simply don’t know the purpose and dismissing it as no

As it seems to imply that this area of our DNA has no significant value. It seems highly unlikely to me that there is a large mass of DNA in our body that doesn’t affect our overall system. I relate this to people believing for long periods

How naive or arrogant do scientists have to be to think that we have “junk” DNA that doesn’t affect how we develop? Wouldn’t it be much more useful to classify things we don’t understand as “unknown purpose X” so that more people are inclin

It's really hard to give you proper advice without understanding what these side projects are or how many people use them. It's all about managing risk and reward so it totally depends on how much you are charging, what the produc
