This seems like very good news, to me.
They can now finally try methods that address the source of the problem (posture-related pressure changes), just like they do for microgravity bone loss.
Well, it's actually the added stress from the Sun's alignment with Earth and Moon that's likely to play the major role here. The Moon itself doesn't do anything special during the full and new moons.
If there's one thing that should be clear by now, it's that normal users and advanced users don't want to use web-based UIs!
Wrong. I am an advanced user an I *love* the UI of google spreadsheets. Sure, I'm not a fan of web-based apps in general, and a lot of the usual drawbacks apply here too, but man, the UI is so much better that I don't care that it wastes so much RAM and is slow as hell. It's still a pleasure to work with, which I could never say about Excel or OO Calc.
I wish I had mod points.
Every fucking week there's several stories like this. A headline that seems interesting, only to find out it's on Forbes and written by that StartsWithABang idiot. Slashdot, stop wasting my time with this shit!
You know, governments *want* brilliant people to take advantages of their subsidies. That's the only reason those subsidies exist, actually: to steer economic potential the way the governments want to. I fail to see what's wrong with Musk taking part in that.
microRNA is a different beast from mRNA, though. mRNA stands for messenger RNA, the RNA molecule that transports the genetic information transcripted from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes outside of the nucleus, for translation into proteins. Micro RNA, on the other hand, are short strands of RNA that attach to a "fitting" spot on a messenger RNA and thus affect its function in various ways.
Well, for one thing, electron microscopy is a destructive process, so if you actually want your sample back, you will likely use light microscopy. Also, electron microscopy cannot capture a moving thing (a living cell, for example), as it takes a lot of time and goes "pixel by pixel", instead of capturing a whole frame at once. I'm sure there are a lot of other reasons why light microscopy could be far more practical.
Why haven't the workers taken over and socialized the means of production yet? Why is our destiny as a species tied to the whims of a handful of super-wealthy idle parasites?
They did, in my country. And our destiny as a nation became tied to the whims of a handful of super-powerful idle parasites.
I thought this was a peculiar statement. Either the theory predicts such objects or it doesn't. If it does, then there's no need to change them once their prediction is found to be right...
SpaceX is not just a "lift" company. Elon Musk has planned to go to Mars since the start, so it may be reasonable to expect that they will do some testing on the moon before that.

If only this was in the summary.
he had openly expressed an opinion that women, as a category, aren't on a par with men with respect to coding.
No. No, he didn't. People attack him for that, but that's simply not what he wrote.
"the vehicle is simply testing technologies on orbit" -- why is it so secret, then?

Krauss admits he hasn't spoken to anyone within the LIGO team.
I don't think he's in the position to confirm anything...
what's worse, it's a blog by this story's submitter.
Um. Does anyone have a non-forbes link?

Nope. You cannot achieve orbit without a second burn/speed change outside the earth's atmosphere. (Yes, I know, *whoosh* and so on...)

Why not take the telescope out of the museum (...) ?
That could prove to be even more complicated.
The goal stays the same: validate or disprove predictions of physics at energy levels never before achieved.
Now imagine an audience that actually appreciates the "bullshit conversation".

100 km is kind of an arbitrary number. I have a better definition, though: if you can get there in a baloon, it's not space.
