I'm pretty sure driving a car requires more complexity than synthesizing DNA. Humans make up a very small percentage of all life on earth and only we can drive cars while most other life can make DNA

I'm 28 without a licence and love electric scooters which I sometimes use on the street when I feel it's safe. I would be afraid to drive the Ami because I don't know the traffic rules and I don't think I could just go

Well yes. I remember hearing that there are now meta-networks, networks that optimize other networks by mechanisms you described.

What does reliably identify mean? 10% false negative rate? 30%? You don't have to be very smart to fool these kinds of self reported tests if you wish to go under the radar.

Interesting that some science deniers in our modern times use scents in the form of essential oils to fend off or even treat diseases. Are there no written records testifying the effectiveness of such suits?

I got into chess a couple of months ago and it has been fun but I don't understand how people watch Hikaru play 3min chess. It's very hard for a beginner to wrap their head around what his moves mean. I'd have to pause and th

It's great that you can repair old consoles / tech but I seriously doubt they were designed with durability in mind, and by that I mean I doubt they sacrificed performance for repairability. I belive that if they could make it 10%

Doesn't it expire from use? If you care that much about preserving history, buy one and don't use it for 30 years LE: although considering most stuff built today wouldn't work without an internet connection the problem isn&#x

This is because people have egos. Most people have fragile ones. All this pussyfooting is to protect their egos. Watching Revoler (2005) is very eye opening in this regard.

However that wasn't a realistic scenario, you are unlikely to talk while scrunching plastics, ideally you should get muted 100% when you do it. Only way this could happen is if someone is standing 3 feet away from you and does it while

I've been sort of abusing it since it became available to the point that I won't even consider buying any electronics over 200$ that I can not return or atleast test in advance until I'm sure I'll be satisfied with the p

Getting nothing out of it? Any navigation whatsoever using a basic editor is a pain in the ass compared to vim, learning that alone is trivial and would probably make people switch to vim. Add to navigation a few bells and whistles like rep

I'm a basic/intermediate vim user for about 8 years now and I implore you to stop talking about vim like this. You overcomplicate basic vim and make it sound all esoteric when it isn't but people who haven't gotten throu

right now just about every major IDE has a good enough vim mode. Basic vim movements can be learned in like an hour and soon you'll feel like you're trying to type with your toes on an ipad when using nano

The problem with this is that it can only cut on i-frames which depends on the way your file was encoded. A lot of cameras encode around 1 i-frame per second so that means that you can not accurately cut your videos from say 0.5 to 2.5, you

Can someone with more experience explain what does "cash" mean in this context? Is it saying that 100 billion isn't actively invested and is simply being depreciated by inflation? It's said it's tied up in 'sho

He did apologize for that. His excuse was that he had a lot to drink and smoke. Also I think him being on good terms with the guests made him more comfortable with being an asshole
