There's more than one gene for it, and contrary to the article intro, they're pretty well studied at this point (though there's certainly more to do, as this illustrates). See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org&

I disagree with the complaint about Mark Whatney's lack of character depth. It's true that there's little character depth, but I don't think that's why Andy Weir choose not to do the deep, solemn scenes. There'

rDNA is repeated many many times and is located at several places in the genome. Presumably we need so many ribosomes that we need to have many copies of it or else transcribing it into rRNA would be the bottle neck in translating all mRNA.

Well, indeed, that is what their main finding is. The question is do they affect mood by means other than affecting circadian rhythm?

So the article tries to separate this out by using Mendelian randomization which supposedly fixes this since whether or not you inherit a genetic variant from your parent is a coin toss. However it has to make some other assumptions that ar

Yes and this also goes the other way: I'm a "morning person" and have no problem with work schedules but have had to make sacrifices to my sleep and sanity for social obligations. I wouldn't switch roles to the opposite

Wikipedia says that Senusret III specifically stopped building the canal due to the height differences. Ptolemy II later had locks built. Though this was also a canal to the Nile not the Mediterranean and so they were concerned about the sa

The ancient Egyptian (or Persians?) built a Suez canal predecessor? Incredible. Is it a tourist attraction? And imagine building it only to realize that the surface height of the sea and the Nile don't match. Oops! Also I like that the

I never use the counts (repeat N times) except for the very simple 55G to go to line 55. It's not useful. But the rest of vim is. I think of it like a chess board. A queen has more moves available than a king. Does that make it harder

It might depend upon what you count as native (as the article talks about later), but she certainly seems to have had constant English exposure since early childhood. Anyone more familiar with New Dehli might have a better guess, but to me

Strange choice of interview subjects given the article title: the first seems to be a native speaker and the second asserts he is a native speaker. They're just not from the US.

Yes but "you must support up to 100 characters" also has no upper bound - supporting 200 characters also fits that requirement.

Do you happen to have the exact wording? As far as I can tell these mean the same thing. 1. "You must support URL length up to 100 characters" -> your browser must support URLs that are 100 characters or less (and may or may no

I see this in new construction in my area and have wondered about having a electrically conductive frame. Any danger there? Also how do you mount anything if you don't have wood studs?

They're arguing simultaneously "lockdowns had no impact on people's behavior and therefore had no benefit" and "lockdowns had massive negative costs". Lo and behold that is the exact mistake the paper is maki

Thanks. I can't actually see where the second paper says that there are reservoirs, at least not of P. falciparum, which is the most relevant. It doesn't directly state it but seems to suggest that there's little in the way o
