6 cows doesn’t seem like a significant enough sample. Anecdotally, I tend to attract mosquitoes a lot more than some other members of my family. I would imagine the same phenomenon is true among cows.

So I asked on Biology SE and it turns out that the author of the article confused “centrifuging” with “vortexing”: https://biology.stackexchange.com/a/88111/1114

For me, the most interesting bit of the article is the way the researchers found the downside of mutation 122 without the other two mutations. Why did the researchers decide to spin the flies in a centrifuge in the first place? Is that a st

Somebody should implement this in the physical form. Here's an idea: Strong magnets (or just pieces of strongly ferromagnetic material) would be embedded at the bottom of the chess pieces; the board would use a strong solenoid on each

How does this book compare with "21st Century C"? I know that, unlike "Modern C", "21st Century C" can't possibly cover C17 because that book was released in 2014. But otherwise, what would be notable diff

Wouldn’t that slow down the speed of rotation of the earth and the revolution of the moon around earth? That would be catastrophic.

Thanks for all of those examples. The Zhongshan scripts are beautiful indeed. However, the major difference that I perceive between the Cultural Revolution (CR) and most of your examples is that in the case of the CR, we're talking abo

According to Wikipedia, Vantablack absorbs visible light, converts it and dissipates it as heat. Can some materials engineer/physicist chime in and talk about its impact to warming relative to “regular” car paints/coatings? I can’

Maybe it’s just me, but I imagine that if I want anything at all after watching “Finding Dory” or “Finding Nemo”, it would not be a real fish, but a stuffed Dory or Nemo.

I think that’s very likely. Speaking of rechargeable battery, one idea that has crossed my mind is wether there is wasted energy during walking or running that can be recovered to recharge the battery.

That's an interesting question. Philosophically speaking, if the power comes from the wearer's actions, the exosuit would be basically redirecting power that's internal to the wearer, making more efficient use of it. If t

Can somebody explain why it would matter that the ground truth be at exactly 2160p resolution? How about using the same algorithm to upscale 540p to 1080p, and compare with 1080p ground truth? Would that not be sufficient?

Then that sounds like an opportunity for the improvement of the EV process. No CA should make it this easy. Any CA that keeps it easy should just be dealt with by the CA/Browser Forum.

Yes, but 1. in reality only a tiny tiny tiny fraction of the population has such permits; 2. the majority of permit holders are probably members of police/ICAC/correctional services; 3. if I remember correctly, you’re supposed to

Then the problem isn’t really with the EV cert itself, no? What if browsers were designed such that for each website, over HTTPS or not, the first X times you visit it, the browser forces you to review the relevant WHOIS and/or certi

by k_sze 7y ago
I kinda agree. Why don’t we include, in the EV cert, enough info to uniquely identify a business? E.g. the jurisdiction of business registration + the business registration number?
