    I don't think it's all shift workers, because at 2am only 1% of the population is working. It looks like it's naps.

    What am I doing wrong? I don't get to nap!

    First two CRISPR gene-edited babies claimed to be born in China. Scary stuff. A big no, no to the rest of the world.

    They chose to knock out a gene (CCR5) that can prevent HIV infection (although it can increase susceptibility to infection by influenza).

    Whoops, just came here to post a link to that story, but clearly, I was beaten to the punch.

    What a fucking piece of shit. There is no limit to the gall and lack of ethical fortitude on display there.

    I watched that live on the NASA channel today. Amazing how so many morons can argue that they know more about climate change and science than people who can land a freaking space ship on Mars.
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    Astronomers measure total starlight emitted over 13.7bn years

    Stars have radiated 4x10 to the 84th photons since the universe begun with formation peaking 11bn years ago.

    Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

    Successful arrival of OSIRUS-REx at Bennu! Hopefully the sample collection and return to Earth goes smoothly.

    Honda is developing fluoride-based batteries that could achieve order-of-magnitude increases in energy storage over lithium batteries
    https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/07/...akthrough-evs/

    Of course, "the team still has to figure out how to stabilize the anodes and cathodes, which tend to dissolve completely into the electrolyte" so they've got a ways to go.


    Turn off one gene, eat whatever you want and don't get fat. Color me skeptical.

    OSIRIS-REx confirms there's hydrated minerals on Bennu, which means that liquid water was once present on Bennu's parent body

    Loop quantum gravity suggests that white holes emerge from black holes

    2.6 million years ago Earth was inundated with radiation from distant supernovae that may have killed Megalodon and other megafauna

    AlphaZero beting its old iteration AlphaGo in 30 hours.
    And to think that it is over 20 years since Deep Blue beat Garri Kasparov in chess.
    Time flies.
