I haven't worked on the drug-side of things, but here my bio perspective: It's kind of out-of-vogue, but consider the "lock and key" model of proteins and small molecules (drugs). For drug design, what you want to do is

Investigating spooky claims: "Facebook is always listening to you!": I assume that many researchers have attempted to figure this out by snooping traffic from the app. It takes a bit of technical skill to do this. If there was any

I think the latter. For what it's worth, the 'arms' that are still protected by the 2nd Amendment are still approximately the same as in 1787 (line of sight, bang bang), as you're legally restricted from owning guided

A flip-flop would work to convert the analog to 1-bit digital, but you could also tweak the magnetics and with a better ADC get velocity measurements! Add some software and you can type ANGRY MESSAGES by just pounding on your keyboard, no s

Does Dgraph work in geo-distributed applications? It's great to be "distributed" and all, but if your cluster is in one data center and it loses connection, you're hosed. I'd assume for something using Raft (and wha

If you have physical access to the device, it's probably cheaper/easier to modify it, replacing the antenna with a load to ground. And if you're going to do that, you could probably negotiate with the provider to sell you a c

The Code Golf StackExchange had a "make an image with all the colors" challenge (challenge spec'd 15-bit colors, a bunch of people did the full 24-bit, 16-million colors) that gave some pretty cool "art": https:&#x
