I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

Horizontal transfer is being used for DNA information to be passed not vertically from mother / father genes, but "sideways" transferring a gene, like the astounding slug breed that ACQUIRED photosynthesis, the ability to eat sunlight.
This is another thing, its name not yet famous, of sharing cellular makeup, sharing abilities, shating the organic structures that preform the ability.

Life, supporting life, not even same species. And its built in!
Compassion squared

Having established a foundation for sharing DNA-derived data, we've developed a browser based tool aimed at making it easier to publish data through GBIF.

If you:
✅ have DNA metabarcoding data
✅ understand its source and structure
✅ want to extend the reuse and impact of your data
please email us at DNA@gbif.org to signal your interest!

Od zawsze podobał mi się pomysł zrobienia magazynów energii w starych kopalniach.
Tutaj odkrywkowa.
Żeby było ciekawe, od lat są opracowania dla Bełchatowa czy Turowa... wszystko zwraca się w parę lat.

Może będziesz zorientowana. Czy są w Lewicy - czy to jako posłanki i posłowie, czy jako kandydatki i kandydaci, czy gdzieś indziej w strukturach osoby zorientowane na tematykę cyfryzacji, technologii, ochrony prywatności, danych osobowych, wolnego oprogramowania itp.? Ogólnie "obywatelskiego społeczeństwa cyfrowego"? Na podobnej zasadzie, na jakiej Ty interesujesz się transportem publicznym? Ktoś, do kogo można by się zgłaszać z takimi zagadnieniami? A jeśli tak, to kto?

Hahaha, ależ zwycięstwo, właśnie w ostatniej chwili uratowałam gotujący się kubeczek menstruacyjny przed spaleniem na proszek, dzięki czemu na moim koncie nadal są tylko trzy spalone na proszek kubeczki menstruacyjne!

Oklaski, poproszę! 🏆

Very tentative steps to #decolonize #computerscience have inevitably been met with attacks in our right wing press.

What could computing have to do with colonialism, both in its legacy and as it still exists today? Off the top of my head, here are some very material, empirical questions which I think CS undergraduates should and would be interested in finding answers to:

I *really* don't think his martial status is relevant. This is shameful reporting.

Excuse me?
Google now moderates your saved bookmarks? The hell?

It's all about perspective 😌 💕

There is this strange idea that to be a progressive kind of person you need to be accepting of alternative "medicine" or tarot/astrology/haruspicy whatever.

Don't be mean to people but have some standards, please.

The real problem with the Meta/Google vs Canadian Government is not that Meta/Google are not linking important forest fire information, but that we relied on them to begin with.

We should have a system independent of their nonsense that does not rely on giant, evil corporations. Even Canadian ones.

If only the GOVERNMENT could figure out a way to GOVERN. It's a miracle that they are without agency, what being the government.

I still cannot get over the wonder and mystery of what gall wasps can do to plants. This is bio-engineering! The wasp lays her egg and somehow the plant makes a structure that is not a fruit, it is not a seed, it not a leaf or stem. It's a wholly recombinant architecture customized to the needs of the growing young larva. The plant provides food and shelter-- It's like a cancer, but with a purpose.

How did it evolve? How is it done!?
