Hello! Really exciting stuff. I've worked at the school and college level (now working on blue collar skill development / training). Am I correct in understanding that as of now, the teachers have to set the goals individually for

Pet this earlier article [1], the OS (currently?) is licensed under a combination of BSD3, MIT and Apache. So, they are moving from GPL to a more permissive model. Though, sure, they could easily change the terms for the final version.. [1]

In and of itself, this is a big deal IMO. In addition, I also think the feat of cloning & gene expression they have accomplished is testament to the fact that "genetic engineering" is not longer just an aspirational word.. Exc

Title is a little misleading; from the article: “Our data showed that, rather than actually increasing the size of the hippocampus per se, the main ‘brain benefits’ are due to aerobic exercise slowing down the deterioration in brain size. I

Documentation, field data collection and collation of that data would be one, I think. You have field workers who are not tech savvy. And may not have robust internet connections on their systems, if they have systems. So, how do you record

Yeah. The OnePlus update rate is lousy. But in terms of value, it's hard to beat.. But there are good roms available [1], and rooting is not all that hard. So that may be an approach you could try? [1] https://forum.xda-deve

Something from the OnePlus series, which, if you are comfortable with rooting, you can install a custom ROM and keep getting updates. Alternatively, you could perhaps buy a nexus 6P? It's on amazon.com now for about 300$.

Again, I don't disagree with you. But shepherding a drug or treatment though the FDA is a mission in itself. It is expensive. The cost of goods may be relatively low once the process of production at scale is worked through, but it is

Oh man. I agree with your sentiment, but this is a remarkable over simplification! The sequence may cost 700$ to synthesise. But it's delivery vector is a virus. Synthesizing the DNA, encapsulating the DNA in the virus.. not trivial st

I think this is needless alarmism. I am glad due process was followed, and what was previously a grey area has now been made clear. You must read the judgement & the cases they cite before making such blanket, unsubstantiated assertions

I understand (I think), what you are saying. But I'd also argue that, back in the day, Byte & similar magazines were targeted at a fairly small subset of the population. Today, I think equivalent magazines are Make, Adafruit's
