My current concern:
People that used to be on Parler are now moving to Signal (and alternatives) for secure chat.
-Signal uses AWS for their infrastructure.
-Signal can not censor or moderate content.
Does it mean it runs the risk of getting booted as well? If not, why not?

If we are ok with the
@awscloud
decision .. what would be the feeling if an ISP decided to block services and platforms because it didn't conform with their terms?
Both Facebook and Twitter
have plenty of bad content... and they've been used to "incite" violence
And how would you feel if that ISP was the only one in your area? In other words, you can only use that ISP.
And what if it was your mobile provider did the same?

i think everyone need to earn way more money across the board for what they do. everyone at the top is ripping the world off.
i also think the system is pretty rigged, though, and gains being made are going to fail to show the results people need.

That last potential use is pretty intriguing. Would be even cooler if similar phenomena are observed with endogenous proteins in neural tissue

Can someone explain to me why Date.getUTCMonth returning 0-indexed values isn't just stupid?
(just venting. don't @ me)

@2ck Debian / Ubuntu's packaging strategy is a major source of reputational damage to Python and the PyPA, unfortunately: https://gist.github.com/tiran/2dec9e03c6f901814f6d1e8dad09528e
They do all kinds of non-standard and unsupported things, then people complain upstream and get the impression that Python is more unstable / fragile than it is 🙁
The point at the end about basic science research is well-made, but it's not just that similar viruses have been studied before that made the COVID-19 vaccines possible (it is easy to make the case for those studies), but all of the research into tools and methods, even for unrelated uses, that allowed for rapid development is important as well.

Common cell type nomenclature for the mammalian brain
The advancement of single-cell RNA-sequencing technologies has led to an explosion of cell type definitions across multiple organs and organisms. Resulting in widely varying nomenclature and limited alignment between taxonomies.
To facilitate cross-dataset comparison, the Allen Institute created the common #cell type #nomenclature (CCN).

This is actually pretty fun. Portal voices are pretty solid. The timbre of Twilight Sparkle is dead on - really surprised me. Wasn't able to change denoise setting though: might have helped with some of the muddiness in a few of the voices.

This was fun. Really appreciated the use of cobweb graphs -- I remember seeing them on my TI-84 calculator and never quite understanding what they're for.

(aside: I managed to find that "switchover" point by poking around and then doing a binary search (followed by a Google search because the decimal number didn't ring any bells) which, although it lacked the real mathematical insight, was also fun in itself)
Nice resource for finding Open Science tools
