A convenient theory for longevity is, late menopause implies a selection (in the history of the species) against all of forms early age killers. So, I find it fascinating that a warm blooded (or even cold blooded e.g turtles) animal with an

Keep it up. An order button for a Persian rug from my design would be nice. :)

According to the professionals of the field, there is little hope for ever preventing cancer. For a protein life that has sufficient complexity, cells have to divide/replicate to maintain the life of the protein machine, e.g a human bo

He was probably inspired by a sub-plot in Sydney Sheldon's "If Tomorrow Comes" (1985).

Quickly thinking out aloud. A probable rule of thumb, if you are not of mixed heritage, do not migrate, stay where the many generations of your ancestors have lived. If you are of mixed heritage, maybe then that genetic test may do signific

> "This isn't correct information anymore, in my opinion" It looks like you hastily condemned the writer as a means to justify a parallel insight. The writer is clearly not against computer analysis, even in the quote that

Morality can be involved in strategy to survive. First and foremost, morality is just specific behavioural patterns. Behavioural patterns can be encoded in DNA, e.g you could have a genetic variation that leads you to feel maximally rewarde

What it means is that, although on the whole consecutive prime numbers tend to have larger separations as the magnitude increases, you will still be able to find consecutive primes with smaller separation sizes. The current proof puts that

On the whole, drug resistant bacteria will likely remain as capable in other characteristics. Due to the complex nature of DNA (specifically gene functions), genetic codes tends to be multipurpose. When select for any one attribute (e.g dru

Depending on what phenomena a set of equations describe, if the equations break down at some point it becomes of interest to figure out the reason. The situation cannot be ignored because it hints that the phenomena may not be properly unde

Good luck trying to convince people to accept the inherent sacrifice required in the short term. On the other hand, pugilists do understand the need for setups and combinations.

Your inclinations seem right. There is a positive correlation between friction (viscosity) and noise, and also between friction and energy waste. It is in part from that connection that reducing noise would boost efficiency.

I think that is where "cultural fit" comes in, where everyone has a sense of ownership of everything for which they possess the required skill-set. If that is so then the real magic happens at the hiring stage.

You need understand what ggplot is all about, i.e a structured/formulaic way to think about and build graphs. Explaining it cannot possibly do it justice. You have dive into it, even a little bit and the way you see graphs and plots to

Atoms are tightly bound and hard to split, they are even harder to build. Up one level and starting with atoms the ease with which the next structures (molecules) can be created goes up tremendously (of course with a lot of variation depend

Let me let you in on the little secret. When you are backed into a corner, you accept whatever is left to explain the complexity at hand. Then you pretend that you understand it. Collect enough these "understandings" of complex st

But what is it good for? Well we have a lot of ideas! One thing that we did, for example, was to apply clustering to discover the ``typical'' approaches to this problem. This allowed us to discover common failure modes in the clas

To extend willvarfar's question, can you shift color channels in a reversible way so as to get compression. Compare the two process. 1. raw_image -> image_compress(raw_image) 2. raw_image -> shift_color_channels(raw_image) ->

Given psi(x, t), if the relation between x and t is not non- linear. Then you can have a time-independent Schrodinger equation with a time-independent wave-function i.e psi(x). However, you do not need start with a time dependent wave funct

It is possible that Gravity as we know it is an illusion. For example, the Newtonian take on Gravity was that it was a force. That according to Einstein was illusory, Gravity was really a geometric manifestation due to the curvature of spac

Genetics are more fundamental than behavior or cognition. The prediction of a biological outcome using genetics tends to be more damning than if the predictor were something else. Genetics carry a lot of weight, you cannot teach them away,
