The author is only arguing for ramping up funding of defensive biotechnologies. It is much easier to create a new virus than to find a cure for an existing one. The immune system is simply vastly more complicated than a virus.

There are a lot of power hungry people out there. In fact, our genome is essentially made up of the most successful conquerors and rapists. If you have a bioengineered virus in hand, you have tremendous power (through blackmail), even aga

The main point of the article is not a point which is widely discussed, known, or accepted. It has nothing to do with oversight/regulation. The point is that offensive biotechnology has progressed way ahead of defensive biotechnology

You can still do a pretty similar experiment. For instance, startups 1-50 get into yc like normal. Startups 51-100, together with 50 randomly selected startups get grouped together and tagged as "the bubble group". Meaning that

Your ideas are interesting. Unfortunately you've exhausted my interest in the topic. But, I still think you overstate the absolute certainty of your interpretation. I do agree that Elon is presenting the rosier interpretation of the

I'm also not convinced that selecting the data based on where Tesla's three fires occurred is the right why to analyze the statistics. Nor is it clear that the fires occuring in parking lots and similar areas involved solely stat

I looked at your prior posts and was unconvinced. From figure 1, 17% occur on highway or divided highways. However, most of the remaining categories are also types of roads.

How did DPR find the hitman? Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that once the feds had apprehended the admin, that the feds might be impersonating a hitman for said admin? It is after all widely insinuated, among certain crowds, tha

I don't know about any "face-saving ruse", whatever that means. But couldn't he have known he was just purchasing "good fakes", for future usage as threats, should he need them?

This is a common cognitive bias, overestimating familiarity with expert domains. Sometimes called the curse of knowledge, or the terminology illusion (specific to overestimating familiarity with jargon). Unfortunately, it happens naturally

It sounds like the "expected" return on litigation may be positive for small legitimate startups, so that over the long run, it might be expected to work our well for small startups. However, each individual small company may not

Can you make an IC without understanding quasiparticles? Who created the knowledge that lets you do this? What equations govern EM radiation transmission? Knowledge genesis is the primary domain of knowledge creators, not employees.

Why are you limiting your test runs to 1 g? You don't need to put people in the test vehicles. Just use dummies, and accelerate at whatever.

Reddit bots seem to be promoting programming to a wide audience in a way that regular software products don't. I guess it makes programming seem accessible. I wonder how many people this trend will coerce into learning to code?

Don't think so, but there are a lot of Perl options that do. In no particular order: Gtk2::WebKit::Mechanize, Win32::IE::Mechanize, WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, WWW::Scripter, WWW::Selenium Personally, I use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox

I agree about the particles moving in the waves frame, but what you are talking about is drag, I think. The pressure gradient still produces a net force on the object. How big it is compared with other forces, such as drag, I have no idea

The pressure (also density) maximum is the velocity maximum. Shouldn't you put the front of the craft at the pressure minimum and the back of the craft at the pressure maximum? Then the wave would be pushing you along.

Perhaps the frequencies are below the audible spectrum?

by hotpockets 13y ago
In the long wavelength regime, frequency is proportional to 1/wavelength. In fact, frequency=speed/wavelength.
