Surprised that no one has mentioned the problem with actual death. Anyone can take dead person's account and there's nothing a dead person can do. You could argue that if the dead person hasn't passed them on to an heir that

Or primorials, which generally have lots of divisors compared to their size. Primorials go 1 2 3 2 5 1 7 2 3 1 11... Basically just include the 'new' prime factors in your factorial. But even these aren't necessarily "th

What I'm saying is that it looks like there's an effect and that effect is visible as a change in expression vs length but that I wouldn't expect it to be too related to length in a meaningful way biologically. If you take

I think it's actually a poorly worded sentence and it's saying that there's an anticorrelation between gene length and the relative expression levels between healthy people and those with ALS (and also between healthy people

There's such a thing as gene over-expression to artificially increase the number of transcripts of a gene expressed. It's generally less easy or reliable than gene under-expression where you interfere with the expression. Doing it

A reason to take this with a grain of salt: transcript length is the biggest technical effect in RNA sequencing. Longer transcripts get broken into more fragments and get sequenced more deeply. What this means is that if you perform any exp

The Science History Institute in Philadelphia has some neat early lab equipment like this. It's a free museum and much better than the nearby Liberty Bell if you're into this kind of stuff. I highly recommend it. The focus is more

I assume they are at a fixed angle and don't change tilt throughout the day. Usually in the northern hemisphere south-facing is the best (the sun spends most of the day in the southern part of the sky but equal parts in east and west).

It's also makes for a lot of terrible talks. In my field (bioinformatics) it's frustratingly common for a PI to give a keynote which boils down to "some grads students made DeepX and got an AUC of 0.85 on this problem and som

I don't recall the early perception of Chrome being anything like that. Wasn't the innovation pretty obvious with separate processes for each tab? And I recall people being excited to see Google "finally" get in the brow

The modern equivalent seems to be "People of New York" which of course is not focused on just the well-to-do and influential but still has the spirit of thinking that there's a story if you just ask. I would also assume that

It's not actually on Windows default installs though, it's just more easily installable. So not much help in your situation. Google will do arithmetic for you, that's often the quickest.

I do this but then I just type to an unsigned-in Reddit and get the crappy front page instead of at least a controllable selection of topics. The web browser is the killer of this strategy.

What was Knuth's complaint about phototypesetting? I know nothing about this, but isn't the problem that TeX solves that of layout of characters? Which seems like it would still need to be done by either hand or electronically fo

Planes fly at well above 0.5 mach, so doubling their speed requires a pretty substantial change, not merely spending more on fuel.

I'd be a little surprised if multittouch affected performance significantly. It's probably simulating and rendering every cell every frame regardless. I couldn't notice a slowdown on my phone with five fingers.

How many garbage bags do you use per week? Just for myself I'd buy I guess ten bags of groceries a week and maybe three bags of trash a week. It doesn't add up. When living with other people, we always accumulated huge numbers of

There's a huge upside the article misses. Having discrete movement allows the rules to be easily and exactly mentally simulated by humans. And that is key to a lot of tactical thought where you enumerate the possible responses and co

My background is in riemannian geometry so I never had to worry about lack of a tangent space. Certainly you can define orientability of some topological spaces that aren't even manifolds. I'd forgotten but you can even define a l
