Interestingly, resistance to amphotericin has generally been pretty limited as adapting to it is heavily adverse to the fungus living in the body, which then allows (generally) the body to clear it out after it's made its suboptimal ad

Histamines affect a broad spectrum of body systems. One time I was really stressed about work, went to bed and started itching unbearably and had welts. Apparently I had broken out into hives, which I didn't recognize at first, then I

Not to my knowledge, but there is a game called A Slower Speed of Light, which probably needs no further clarification. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Slower_Speed_of_Light

Not the original author but my first interpretation is that this means, if it were in a video game, it would be a way to self-reinforce "fog of war" where you can only have extremely local information and you don't want extra

Employer-provided health insurance comes from World War 2 and the US government locking market pay rates for the war. To compete, employers had to add non-monetary perks such as health insurance. Unfortunately we didn't transition out

It's not the sole focus of the book, but I recall "A Universe From Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss mentioning it a couple of times, particularly in the case that only that set of elements in exactly those proportions leads to the

By the definition of "work", the grandparent comment is valid and there is no need to adjust the language: (of a machine or system) operate or function, especially properly or effectively.

Ignition! has also now been reprinted and is well worth the purchase and read.

I went through a massive campaign of explicit/sketchy/spam email-texts... Textra(SMS app) introduced an ignore feature that captured that thankfully after a few weeks of nonstop aggravation. My carrier would not disable that featu

I suggest designing it in CAD and possibly sending it to be metal 3d-printed, which would be cheaper than a whole garage(I feel your pain on not having space... my carport is currently saturated with my business's equipment and I'

Ha, I just posted about a dragonfly I saw while walking, and how it seemed unperturbed by the possibility of room temperature superconductors on Earth. I added that I should probably learn from the dragonfly.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. If someone is rich enough to have a 3 bedroom detached home, that's all fine and dandy, but it's a complete nonstarter to house 30 poor people in the same space? I don't see how that

Not necessarily true; the heartbeat has been recently detected so it is possible (unlikely) we can transmit strongly enough that it can detect the commands and reorient before that time. Maybe we'll get lucky!

It helps me sleep at night knowing our infrastructure has that mechanism in place. The average users are understandably less enthusiastic.

Well, for starters, batteries have their own internal resistance. Not a whole lot, but enough that whether you short out with copper wire or superconductor, the effect would be the same.

Perhaps with all the lower-hanging scientific fruit now getting more scarce, it makes sense to start allowing for a larger number of contributors to be recognized, even if they don't necessarily share in the prize money. Why not start

As A Fire Upon the Deep is one of my favorite books (it's been a while since I've read it- my copy is currently on tour), I'd like to chime in and say I remember this reference, but I believe it's in A Deepness In the Sk

SQUID sensors would be very feasible, with increased sensitivity. I just learned that extremely directional transceivers would be possible due to some weird quantum effects. Probably propulsion would be affected by higher efficiency motors.

You may not be aware but after SpaceX acquired Swarm, they now use argon Hall thrusters, so even cheaper than krypton.

The physical continuing expansion of the universe eventually causes any photon to be so far redshifted as to be unobservable, so it actually goes the opposite way. One day long from now, an alien civilization might look out into their night

Some containers are. I have bought reusable silicone sandwich bags that you can freeze or put in the oven(up to 450 degrees F) if you leave the bag unsealed.

We do try to confine those activities to industrial zones and not in and around protected environments, and we do try and mitigate the worst effects where we can. I personally thought their decision to launch without a proper launch pad was
