As someone in molecular biology, genetic engineering is grossly overblown by the public, no thanks to the recent news story out of china. No one wants to edit the germline in humans (aside from the discredited researcher). People want to ed

Clicking on magnet links is just as difficult as clicking on a song in spotify, maybe the websites arent as nicely dressed though. In the U.S., its $10 a month for your entire life. If you live another 100 years, thats $12k that could have

If you wanted to support the artist the answer is buying concert tickets and $40 tshirts. Physical and digital sales/streaming are a drop in the bucket for a music arists income; you really burn the label when you pirate content. Cue R

In every context besides economic journals it refers to social liberalism: the progressive left. No one is calling reagan or bush liberals even if they are by the economics definition of the word.

Banks cant will money into existance. If you withdrew your money the bank has to pay you from other funds. During the great depression banks collapsed this way, the only thing stopping that today is banks have enough funding to buffer peopl

There’s a lot of unknowns with liability and regulation. I’d rather let someone else take up that legal risk than spend all this money on basic research just to have my shit shut down by ordinance or a manslaughter charge.

The community college also has an automotive repair program. You’d be hard pressed to find a decent school with an IT or any other of these vocational programs at their main campuses. That’s because it trains for the job, not for the field.

The top apps are still more or less the same staples as 5 years ago. While it’s harder to find a new excellent app, it still serves as a good introductory guide of what most people are going out of their way to install on their phones.
