This is a culture issue. If people get paid to look busy, they will find ways to look busy. There's no incentive to close tickets quickly, because it will only result in more work.

I just did. There's an .xpi file in the releases page: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi/releases/tag/v0.7.737

Actually, the releases page on GitHub does provide an .xpi file for Firefox, and it seems to be working fine. I guess the missing link on the website/README is a mistake.

This is fun! Reminds me of the first time I read Flatland, by Edwin A. Abbott as a kid, and spent much time thinking about what it would be like to move around in a 2d world!

I have a couple of these cameras. How difficult is it to get an OpenSX70 circuit PCB printed and installed? Is this something achievable by an average tinkerer?

I am always looking for ways to live frugally, and I think dollar stores have their niche, and there is good reason for their success. In my experience, they are one of the best options for buying budget non-food items at low volumes where

You need to click on the "Unknown Species" box in order to get a list of suggestions. Probably not the most intuitive, but it avoids auto-assigning IDs without prior review.

1. Gain of function is not as easy as you think. 2. Such bio-weapons are not likely because any virus released in the wild will mutate over time, and also because you cannot target "races" in the way you describe. Phenotypic trait

As far as I know genetic construct design remains a mostly manual process because the decision tree that goes into creating a viable clone is complicated to say the least. There are a lot of variables to optimize, from choosing the right ex

All that information is available through various databases and APIs, but the exact pipeline you are looking for might not be easily accessible via a nice user interface. It requires a lot of "glue" code to to connect the data fro

There are several databases that annotate metabolic pathways, although you are right that we lack a comprehensive integrated data source. Some of the larger ones: Reactome: https://reactome.org/ KEGG: https://www

In Spanish, we have two different versions of "to be": 'ser' is for defining what something is (I am a human), and 'estar' is for temporary states of being (I am sad). I do find it strange that English assigns

The lab I work in has a project that helps annotate datasets with metadata and register their schemas: https://discovery.biothings.io/ A common barrier to making FAIR datasets is that not all data lends itself to be schema.

This is not a black and white issue. Although I am not a supporter of censorship on the internet, I do agree with others here that misinformation on social media is a present threat democracy. There are tree pillars to our democracy: govern

The strain visualization is very cool, and presents an interesting insight into activation energy, and the way proteins fold.

Sorry. I was going to type something rude. The thing is, by "educating the world", the world educates us. We need to do a better job at helping students like you pay for college, but this does not mean that we close our doors to e

Science is by far one of the most globalized fields. The international collaborations that it thrives on are largely formed via exchange of students. We cannot afford to be ethnocentric in this day and age. As an example, America would neve

China has four times our population, and we are falling behind on many fields. We need all the manpower we can get. On another note, I'd like to raise the point that bringing talent to the country also creates demand. Many of the next

In my view, we can never not have a shortage of talent when it comes to scientific disciplines - at any pricepoint. The beauty of bringing more researchers to the country is that they eventually help create as many or more jobs than they &q

Part of the problem is that in basic science, it is hard to measure the value of a project until years in the future. But we do allocate money on academic projects -- through federal grants.. nevertheless the base salary for a postdoc is pr
