  1. Re:We barely recognize it here on NASA Asks: Will We Know Life When We See It? (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    What we need is proof of inorganic life - that would broaden the scope of what we consider life quite considerably

  2. There are apparently two methods by which CRISPR alters the genes. One is by slicing the bad parts of the gene (this is the approach I believe is being used for the First-in-human Phase 1 trials about to begin in US), and the other is by replacing the bad parts of the gene by healthy parts. The latter method is what apparently increases the risk of tumors.

  3. Re:What about real ones for safety needs? on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless (abc.net.au) · · Score: 0

    I would be really concerned if windows are what is used to determine if anything is wrong with the engines and wings. If visual indicators are necessary, I suppose they could just have a couple of windows near the engines and still have virtual windows on the rest of the plane body and still have the weight gain advantage.

    Are you mad? One 10 year old brat, and you will have to figure out which 'carvings' are the real password. Memorize it.

  5. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Israeli Knesset Approves Biometric Database Law · · Score: 0

    All citizens of a country which isn't exactly liked by its neighbours are placed on a single database. Database leaks. Any future authority which doesn't like Israelis for any reason can now reliably identify them at crossing points, when travelling, after an invasion, etc.

    it works both ways. it can also provide fairly reliable and faster identification mechanisms in times and places such as that of of invasion, when travelling, at check points etc. when you are trying to separate the 'suspects' from the rest of the crowds. It's easier to take papers than a biometric scan.
