The research compared an original strain to a modified strain, to the modified strain with roundup. It is unsurprising that the modified strain, that is producing an extra protein in high amounts will be under a heavier metabolic load than

That's currently what is done. However the idea that I could get my entire stack, from HTTP handler, to router, to logic, to database query, back to response into a single 10mb binary is pretty enticing. If I could get there, I'd

Yep. Money is strangely spent. Incentives and historical attitudes of the field regarding money are hard to change. $500k for a new microscope, no problem! It's a fancy, four channel live microscope. So it takes four 1Mb images each

It's curious, because in the near future monoclonal antibodies, as produced by your own body, should be the very cheapest 'drugs' (sic; read 'therapy' or 'cure') to make. If your own body is the manufactu

This is very reasonable. Technically, today, it is a bit of a challenge to ensure it gets delivered in such a way as to not hurt more than it helps, and to ensure it remains active. But at this point that kind of auto-manufacturing of a t

How do you get an uplink? I generally thought of satellites as providing pretty good downlink, but high latency because the uplink was through some alternative network - eg. phone/dsl lines.

Super cool stuff! There are some greatly quotable sentences in the paper: > Moreover, SMH (solid metal hydrogen) is predicted to be metastable so that it may exist at room temperature when the pressure is released. If so, and supercondu

That's a strong criticizm. There are a lot of equally valid linguistic ways to view the contents of a directory. But only one grammatical and lexical way to command the computer to do it with text. 'Open folder', 'show c

So where exactly then do 'nanoparticles' fall on the PM exposure list then? The standard measurements separate 'small' (<2.5 micron) particulate from 'big' (<10 micron) particulate. 'Small' th

The new charging mode is way cheaper for them, and for their users. And way more convenient too. I really like the magnetic part of MagSafe, but everything after that sucks. The wire the MagSafe uses is really susceptible to being frayed

If done properly, I fully expect that kind of input idea to be inevitable. If done poorly, it's a total failure and prevents any work from being done. In order to bridge that gap it seems Apple is starting small.

You are correct. There are two different 'componentry' arguments here hiding in the question. The first is essentially, how many separable ingredients does it require to make a person? This speaks nothing to how often, rarely, o

Part of the idea is that you will need significantly shorter exposures. Shorter than would be needed to introduce artifacts from vibration. Such cameras (sold by Nikon [1]) are routinely used on high-end microscopes. They usually have a sm

As a poster above pointed out, a lot of scientific code is an implementation of a mathematical device. And the scientist is trying to make their equations come to life. And in math, many equations are simplified to their variables in order
