Oh, I thought spacecrafts were wombs. It has to provide all necessary elements to sustain life. The astronauts even have "umbilical cords" attached to their spacesuits.

and you’re not hurting anyone else in doing so

Evaluating this condition across all levels of your community is almost impossible, from the individual level up to a global level. It can also be evaluated across time. The total sum effects of actions (and inactions) are incalculable.

Come on, dude, really? The username is Scoooby Dooo, I get all my serious information from Scoooby Dooo. Heck, he's even verified on Twitter. How many green flags do you need?

"Hey, Disney. Can I tell you to suck my dick?"

"Will it make me money?"

"Yes, lots of money."

"Will I have to actually change my practices in a meaningful way?"

"No"

"Lets do it. Now will you excuse me, I have legal battles to fight with the poors."

Professor was acting unethically.

He claimed there would be no judgement, and then didn't follow through on that condition.

He also instructed the student to lie in the future.

Where is my A+?

American Psycho was a documentary.

The researchers found that increasing serotonin made individuals better able to control their behavior, particularly when exposed to negative information. The study also showed that elevated serotonin levels benefited different types of memory.

Not necessarily. The sample size is approx 25 though so it'll need to be expanded.

people with increased serotonin levels had reduced sensitivity to punishing outcomes (for example, losing money in a game) without significantly affecting sensitivity to rewarding ones (winning money).

I want to build / design an RF amplifier that can boost the signal from an AMT-MW207 kit.

Design goals:

  • Boost the signal a couple of watts
  • AM signal
  • 525 - 1605 kHz baseband range

I've been searching for RF amplifier designs but many of them are too big (10's of Watts), or are hard to implement. It's been difficult trying to find something that can instruct me clearly. I'll have to take into account things like impedances and the like.

I have an electronics background, so if you can only point me towards a book or other resource, even that would be helpful.

I'm going to be checking out 'Experimental Methods in RF Design', hopefully it can point me in the right direction.

I just finished listening to Iron War by Matt Fitzgerald. I loved the descriptions of the history of the event, the history of each of the racers, and their future after the race. It helped me feel amped for my own exercise sessions. Are there other books like this?

Excluding Matt Fitzgerald's other books, of course.

 

Maria Nattestad just dropped a new introduction to the field of bioinformatics.

Foundation skills for bioinformatics:

  • Python
  • Use the Command Line (e.g. Bash, scripts)
  • Statistics - p-values, multiple hypothesis tests
 

I've used Rosalind in the past to learn about bioinformatics. I solved about 17 of the problems, which is about 6% of the problems on the site.

I think it gave a decent mix of guided learning and letting you figure things out on your own. I would say having some background knowledge in biology and coding would be necessary. It doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but there is some.
