Scientists vacuumed animal DNA from the air in a forest and the results are amazing
  • Yeah, the American Bar Association said "Telling a jury it is implausible that anyone besides the suspect would have the same DNA test results is seldom, if ever, justified."

    Cross contamination could likelyonly get worse if you include airborn or otherwise mobile DNA as part of your samples.

  • Light is faster than... light!?
  • If you wanted to avoid having to hold your phone at just the right angle, you could try to direct the light, maybe using a flexible fiber of glass or plastic and point it directly at the receiver! Bet that could go fast!

  • Moderation Philosophy - On Content Removal
  • A question I have about this is when we have communities with diametrically opposite points of view on a topic.. Eg I'm a carnivore, and while I respect vegans/vegetarians I completely disagree with them on fundamental levels. Both sides have logical arguments, but the foundations and life experiences are different. Does beehaw have space for such opposing points of views, or does it lean to one side, opposing the other?

  • Poll: A historic number of Americans don't want a Biden-Trump rematch
  • To quote Douglas Adams

    it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

  • Musk Overruled Tesla Engineers, And Now They Are In Serious Trouble
  • This news is months old. Honestly agree with musk on this one. We are able to drive with 2(sometimes only 1)low resolution(sometimes out of focus, sometimes closed) cameras on a pivot inside the vehicle with further blindspots all around. Much of our rear situational awareness comes from 2/3 small warped mirrors strategically placed to enhance those 2 low resolution cameras on a pivot. Tesla has already reverted to add some radar back in... The lidar option sounds like dystopia waiting to happen (just imagine all streets filled with aftermarket invisible lasers from 3rd world counties, any one of them could blind you under unlucky circumstances). The best way forward is visual, and if you watch up to date test drives on YouTube you can see they are doing quite well with what they have.

  • On Politics and Forking
  • My general experience is that anyone who claims an ideology is ipso facto imposing the opposite of their claimed belief on others. So given how I bristle when people do that, I get the feeling this community isn't for me. I don't need to read between the lines to see how it is already playing out here in this very thread. Anyone can see you are being brigaded, even if you just didn't agree with the terminology being used. Despite the words, this doesn't seem like safe space for civil disagreement.
