"the fungal mimicry was without a doubt super crazy and very surprising,” he said. The spider imitates the fruiting body of the fungus — the hornlike structures on its abdomen — by having abdominal prolongations on its own body.
Dr. Díaz-Guevara said that effectively, “over time, a spider has evolved to realize that if it mimics something that is dead, the chances of being hunted are low.”
This is also a good example for the crowd who don’t think progress is being made. Curing mice of cancer eventually flows though to human lives saved.
I’ve added the link, I agree I think they will have to relax the locality assumption of classical physics. The article does point out that it’s doesn’t really explain the reality underlying quantum effects. It’s at least some progress beyond many worlds or the Copenhagen interpretation which leaves it a black box.
So federal authorities are threatening to pull hospital funding for a problem they are helping to create?
Well done, its feels good making a graceful recovery like that. Grub is a bit underbaked as a recovery environment I think. I’ve always stuck to fairly vanilla distros like Mint since Linux is my main OS and performance is less important to me vs stability. I’ve also found having a bootable Linux USB in a drawer has saved me a few times when testing new things.
Well you can’t eat mangrove wood but these shell less molluscs are much the same as shellfish nutritionally. Fun fact it’s teeth can grind though thin metals. Fairly tasteless when cooked though, has been compared to oyster probably for lack of similar tastes. They are also known as shipworms or teredo worms.
My organization has come up with travel advice to the US. It boils down to avoid it if you can and definitely reconsider if you are an ethnic or sexual minority. Just like China really, bring a burner phone with your work account and only needed apps. Maybe we need alternative social media accounts with amazing collections of cat photos. Not my cats officer. I just collect photos of other people’s.
So another victim of the Glass Cliff then?
Not too serious a suggestion, but if migration worked once to escape the PRC why not do it again. Move all your industries offshore to an enclave or possibly several in friendly neighboring countries and then your population. I mean the population isnt so large that it’s not technically impossible to relocate. it’s not much more than some of the largest world cities. Then when invaded withdraw entirely. Anyone happy to live under Chinese rule can stay. Given climate change humanity is probably going to have to get used to massive migrations anyway. Horrible as that could be culturally being a semi independent part of another democracy would fix their declining population, plus being a massive economic stimulus all round. I suspect something like this may be happening informally anyway. Their main strength is economic and organizational so why not build on that.
Any surface with an Intel CPU generally.
Its great for yearly performance review questions. I just feed in keywords and it generates a relentless tide of goals, metrics and progress reports which no one actually reads. Lovely. For anything technical nope. I save much more time just working problems myself. At least I learn from my mistakes.
Sounds targeted at assignments in biology and in particular Evolution. If they still mention that in the classroom.
Never mind reputation damage. in the US what if it had trigged a swatting incident or alerted ICE that they were someone hiding illegals in their home. Will we get to the point where providing any real identity or contact information on the Internet is a mistake.
Palawan in the Philippines is excellent for very remote tropical beaches but also it’s culture.
Lots of nice second hand xeon workstations going cheap. Given the cost of memory they are often a bargain. The only catch with the Dells for example is the lame but also proprietary power supplies.
The furry paw of diplomacy. Now the nerd in me wants to see a graph of the Panda Index as a measure of Chinese opinion about other countries It’s the cuddly side of a relationship in contrast to darker clouds on the horizon.
Manor Lords. As a game, pretty much ticks all the things mentioned in the article.
Not a disease as such but a condition. Sepsis aka blood poisoning, is a significant one for older folk. A fast heartbeat with low blood pressure, rash etc. It can be rapidly deadly but is not so easy to identify. About Sepsis warning signs
Treatment early enough definitely saves lives so it’s worth knowing about
Not adding the Sun in the position of the primary light source till the 4th iteration was a major clue.
I accidentally posted a link to some right wing borderline racist article which sounded sensible on first skim reading it. Commentators noted this. I apologized for not reading it carefully or noticing the other associated articles and the other Lemmy users were understanding. Just my experience but I think a nicer atmosphere prevails.
