Wikipedia entry [0] aruges there is only one "Islands in lakes on islands in lakes on islands in lakes" in Canada but this article points to another one in Philippines.

Bill Gates foundation is also sponsoring GMOs in Africa. These include lab designed mosquitos that can be introduced in the existing population to eradicate mosquitos.

It's just a graph of connections with neurons as nodes and synapses as the connections. Poorly translated as a "map" in reference to the historical studies that have tried to "map out" the brain wiring.

This is an electron microscopy based study, not light microscopy (i.e. SPIM or open-spim). Or did you mean something else?

You should read about the immense criticism this paper attracted after its publication. It was published on the same journal since publishers like a bit of controversy ;) [0] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S08966...

But they are: https://research.google/teams/connectomics/

Funny that the lab provides an "open-access link" to this 2019 paper which turns out to be the opposite.

Here [0] is the pdf of the article in case someone is interested.

Is all censorship violation of freedom of speech? Is being intolerant of intolerant people an example of intolerance?

Here's a point-by-point critique for those interested in the controversial podcast.

Good.

This [0] talk from Computer Chaos Club also points out how all applications that use Facebook as authentication option (or even without it) MUST send user data to Facebook Inc. This of course doesn't require a user to have a facebook account.

Wouldn't disabling location essentially block the app from getting the IP address?

>It seems that Amazon somehow would not even allow me to delete my old and expired credit card from my account. If you are in the EU, in my experience with the GDPR, this is not allowed. The e-commerce merchant must allow users to have the option to remove this information. PS: I had to file a formal complaint against a telecom company to have this resolved.

This article doesn't cite any sources to support its claim. There is one chart in a linked article about increasing Consumer Price Index but where is the data to compare wage increase vs inflation?

Is it possible that this idea is just being propagated without much evidence to in effect create a state of peril? I would very much appreciate if someone has looked at any evidence.

No ebook?

Shouldn't one as a customer/consumer have the right to choose which personal data is stored with the service provider? Ofcourse if some form of data is stated as mandatory by the service provider, then it's customer's choice to continue using the service or not, provided that it is clearly stated what is being stored or not.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if service providers like Google still store some form of metadata about users even when they request for deletion of their accounts.

The article is about micro-scale connectomes where each connection from each neuron to another neuron is identified. This is done using Electron Microscopes at nanometer resolution imaging. You are referring to fMRI/MRI based macro-scale connectomes where connection resolution is at the scales of thousands of neurons without any knowledge to wiring diagram at single-neuron resolution.

Seems very specfic to one field of research that is pointed out in the article. Any other fields which suffer from the same?

Also we tend to forget that it also matters what you publish more than how often. Article lacks any comments on this.

They have a twitter account where they regularly post some cool stories [0]

The news article seems somewhat exxagerated don't you think, if you look at the data [0]?

It just seems to overlay two pdfs' text and images in two colors. Looks kind of ugly but atleast its a free service.

This article only focuses on the human subjects. But that's not all of neuroscience.

There are different reasons to prefer one gender over the other in experiments with animals. For example, female rodents are easier to handle and less aggressive so they are preferred in behaviour studies but they are also hormonally more complex than male rodents which can interact with biological signals that you are measuring. Furthermore, some studies are done over both genders so that their final results can be reported to be true independent of gender. So it really depends on what one is trying to study and to what level gender can or can not affect that study.

Comment removed? I don't suppose HN is removing comments now is it?

Studied at MIT, opened his lab at Stanford. I am unsure about where the intellectual property lies.

How about a paper based microscope developed by Manu Prakash at MIT? [0] Its supposed to cost 50 Cent.

Cool one. "Ctrl + R" also does the same thing to search through past commands and then "Tab" to select the command you are looking for.

Why not restrict internet access to the "Whatsapp" in your app settings when you need a break? Works fine for me.
