I think you'd have better luck with potassium salt, but trying different things out is the fun part.

Adding a radioactive check-source, like a thorium welding rod, may produce some interesting results. ;)

Cool project! I bet these would make great styles for deep dream images.

Really cool.

This is fantastic.

I'm not really sure about hourly plans. When I was configuring my machine (~1-2 years ago) I was able to select hourly or monthly billing (hourly would've been outrageously expensive).

>where you just don't have the ability to run hardware (increasingly the case)

Softlayer has 'on demand' bare metal plans. I'm not sure how cost effective it would be compared compared to running your own box, but the simplicity is nice and they had me up and running in under 2 hours (assembled with customizations).

MS bizspark may be worth looking into if you're short on funds.

Any benchmarks?

Efficiency is a beautiful thing.

Is it worth upgrading from SPDY 3.1? Opinions welcome.

When did I make that claim? I said that I think what she's promoting is based more off of relativism, and that epistemology is already an established field; hell, it's quite literally the study of knowledge. So smug!

Seems more like she's trying to teach a class on relativism, a subject I wholeheartedly hope stays away from science. Additionally, epistemology already exists, and is a well established field of study.

>The garden consists of “smart capsules” that contain seeds, nutrients and soil that’s geared toward the specific plant. (It’s kind of like a Keurig capsule, but for plants.)

REALLY?

Thanks! =)

Care to make a citation?

Not to be pedantic, but its logically invalid; no fallacy is needed.

Here's a simplified version: energy generation in the mitochondria is based on the energy differential between the intermembrane space and the inner mitochondrial membrane (I may have confused those membranes). Most uncouplers act to reduce that differential, thus causing inefficiency in the system, which is lost as heat.

tl;dr uncouplers mess with H+ ions.

His writings on monads come to mind, though I may be mistaken.

Did you know he made a mechanical calculator? Here's a pretty cool link from the wolfram blog: http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2013/05/dropping-in-on-gottfr...

>What is a mitochondrial uncoupler...

Examine link #2.

>why would they help with neurological problems?

Good question—perhaps the alteration in ambient energy in the brain prevents certain proteins form forming (amyloid plaques in this case). Honestly, it's hard to tell; it's under active research.

Any uncoupler ought to induce mitochondrial biogenesis, as it's a systemic response due to a lack of energy (I may be mistaken?)—same goes for [vascular] endothelial growth factor and EPO (just to name a few).

Also, I really can't recommend reading the paper associated with the third link enough.

Have you tried ephedrine to help with the post-workout swelling? The common 'ECA' stack might be right up your alley.

This isn't too surprising considering curcumin is a mitochondrial uncoupler[1][2]. For the curious, another example of a mitochondrial uncoupler would be 2,4-dinitrophenol, which is currently being looked into as a potential anti-Alzheimer treatment[3]. Cool stuff.

Articles like this, and the frustrations expressed, really help to reaffirm my belief that Philosophy, or at least deductive logic, ought to be a necessary part of our public school system.

Damn, where do I sign up?

I really wish that didn't sound so plausible...

From what I remember reading, ancient Babylonians really seemed to enjoy garlicy/fatty foods. I'll edit with a citation if I can find a good one.

Just to stir further reading, our moon is actually stealing our rotational momentum (our spin speed). Enjoy the rabbit-hole. 😀
