I'm getting slightly fatigued with this point of view ("X is a private company and can do what it wants"). If a company reaches a certain size and has a quasi-monopolistic position so that other people or companies depend on

Honest question: is there really an ethical concern if the graves are more than 2000 years old?

I'd say Russia definitely has at least a subset of very amateurish spies. An example coming to mind is the Skripal poisoning in Salisbury, UK.

Using GPT-3 to 'write' the books instead of obvious gibberish would lead to an additional layer of evasion.

I never played the game myself, but wasn't AR just a decorative add-on to pokemonGo and not a necessary part of the game?

I just recently did some literature research on this, it's definitely very interesting. -The antigen causing the allergy is called alpha-gal (a glycan, i.e. a sugar based molecule, present on proteins) -Humans are one of the few mammal

To hijack your comment: all of these type of bunkers mentioned in the article are decommissioned as they don't match the modern military doctrine. The majority of these bunkers are artillery and anti-tank bunkers built during the cold

I have to agree with this assessment. The opinion provided by /u/Shacklz is unfortunately rather widespread in Switzerland and mostly based on some outdated views on the role of the army ("plausible during the height of the c

Is that true, DuckDuckGo is a wrapper for Bing? I didn't know that.

It could also be a wire you need to cut, or a glass you have to smash first. The problem wouldn't be much different from someone breaking your car window to get your purse while your in the shopping center.

Any good tutorials on this? What are the required specs? I assume the dataset is huge?

Some people can't get vaccinated due to health reasons or they don't mount a proper immune response. They need you to do your part to establish herd immunity.

As a general statement, I have to disagree. Vaccines indeed are close to invincible magic. Maybe only antibiotics are similarly magic.

It really is only a small amount of what we know. Look for example at the KEGG pathway list ( https://www.genome.jp/kegg/pathway.html ), which is a curated list of pathways (so also only a part of what we know, albeit a

That sounds like some New Age BS. Sure, a healthy lifestyle will be preventive for a lot of diseases. But especially for infectious diseases, I would be very cautious with such statements.

I'm definitely not trying to downplay Asimov, but reading a >60 year old book to learn more about biology might not be the best use of your time. There has been an exponential (I'm not using this word lightly) knowledge gain in

It's not the same network. There are three providers in Switzerland. From my own experience the most expensive one (Swisscom, by whom this article is) has much better coverage in the mountaineous areas compared to the other two.

While I agree that diet and lifestyle has an impact on multiple cancer types (most obvious examples that come to mind are smoking and certain types of lung cancer, or high fat diet and certain types of liver cancer), I'm not aware of t

Honest question: what makes NZ safer than other countries? I assume it depends on the scenario? Political turmoil could make sense (I don't know enough about NZ politics), global warming probably less so?

I see what you're getting at, but you're missing that not everyone can be a specialist at libinput development, someone might spend his day developing software for 3D rendering, someone else is a data scientist, a third one design

Nice write-up! Any info under what circumstances gradient boosted trees behave better versus traditional random forests?

I think you're basing this on a false premise. There's no rule that states that every life form that ever existed must have any descendants. In fact the opposite is true, the vast majority of life forms were exctinct. Famous case

To add on to that (sorry, I think it's a very exciting topic): it's hypothesized that virions (a virus-like 'thing' that infects plants) are descendants of such RNA life that evolved to be parasitic.

Is this an episode of Ancient Aliens?

That's pretty much the premise of the RNA world. I assume your actual question is why we don't observe RNA based lifeforms anymore. And the most likely explanation is that this type of life form has a massive evolutionary disadvan
