I guess she had some integrety and loyalty to her proffesion. She like everyone else had been told that this was a registry for research and screening, and absolutely not the first step in some police state wet fantasy. She hated that they

She got very huffy and flat out denied that the blood bank dna was used to identify the murderer. He wans't covicted using that DNA, true, but the identification was no secret. The police had made 2 arrests of persons they later had

In Sweden the "blood bank" sample taken on all newborn children was used to identify the murderer of foreign minister Anna Lind in 2003. This was very controversial at the time. When my first child had her blood sample taken a few

"Read" GoF is not a thing I would do, just as I don't sit down and read a recipe book. Because GoF is kinda a recipe book for oop. I would skim it though, just to have a sense of what's in there.

From "self assebled box" to "managers own idea", thats quite a jump. There are lots of reasons why people push their own solutions. To stake a claim of expertise in an area, the need to impress peers and reports, genuine

Not even mentioned in the article, but a book I really like: Zodiak Not sf exactly, it's an "eco-thriller" but it has its fair share of science. And it's a pretty good thriller.

No I find it credible. The "ecological model" is really a statistical model, see "The German tank problem". It seems to have pretty solid foundations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_prob

I wonder what the energy budget look like for an operation like that. The argument against urban farming is that it is energy intesive and not really space efficient if you include the space needed for the extra energy production. It would

It's not quite the same though. These images where uploaded to Google, they are required by law to not host child porn, so of course they are going to classify the images. The Apple thing was them proposing to run the classification o

This is a wild guess, but foliage penetrating radar is getting pretty cheap and deployed for even smaller digs. Larger scans (whole towns, or large fields) are exposing lots of unknown stuff, like forgotten wall structures and abandoned vil

They do? I see Folk/Pagan/Viking as one genre when I browse by genre. Alsetorm (sorry, don't know of any other pirate themed bands) has some folk elements so I think it fits.

Since there are 2 computers I'm guessing that they are letting one computer update and reset the other one, then repeat for the reverse. The system as a whole would stay up, the individual computers would not.

Sure, because it's fast and easy. But I bet you any pilot can work it out with pen and paper if they have to. They get tested on that stuff, at least where I live. Same with a boat. All you have is what you bring. Will the Ipad survive

> Do goats eat and poop 24/7 if left unchecked Yes. Many grazing animals are like this. It's like they have no "feeling full" in their tiny brains. Grass and leafs are not very calorie dense so they kind of have to. C

I belive you are confusing GLS (Guy Steele, the 'I' in the story) with Eric S. Raymond, the, eh... curator of The Jargon File. The quote in your comment is from Raymond who is indeed quite racist.

For a nice way to start discovering plants around you I recommend the excellent iNaturalist app/site: See a plant, snap a photo and the app will suggest what it thinks it is. Other users can help with identification if the app fails. B

The overlap between the last known modern horse and the first people in America is about 2000 years. If they domesticated horses in that time, how come the horses didn't thrive along with the human population? I think the horse populat
