Oh, no! Ein schrecklich Ende.

On nature, Identity is the hardest process to achieve. Otherwise we by now had huge quantum computers and wouldn’t need fridges for food.

Well, this has been a long-awaited day- the first paper on our multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE) is on the BioRxiv. Ever wonder how simple multicellular organisms evolve to become larger and more complex over thousands of gens? 1/35

What do you do when invited by the amazing @TobySpribille to contribute to a special issue of a Lichen journal, when you don't work on lichens? You accept, of course! @SFI_elibby and I show how lichens illustrate a often-ignored route to multicellularity:

@anton_hilado The empty one when all is said (for now 🐒).

Me: Oh another interactive visualization sigh. Let's see how disappointing it is...

(this is very good! and I tend to be very critical of these things)

[Christoph Thies @slothrop12]

@MatiosTV Have you tried reducing it to two? Should work IMO

[Christoph Thies @slothrop12]

@rlmcelreath @Corey_Yanofsky IMHO you should consider changing it to Mackelrief. I think it would make life easier for all of us.

Ich bin 24 Jahre alt, ich bin #Jude, ich habe mein Judentum nie verheimlicht, habe/hatte politische Ämter inne, stehe teils im medialen Interesse und habe in meinem Leben sehr oft #Antisemitismus erfahren. Ein Thread 1/15

[Judea Pearl @yudapearl]

For @AlJazeera educated Westerners, equating Zionism with colonialism is almost axiomatic. To see the absurdity of this association please examine the five bullets listed on p.229 of https://t.co/Px86GJHSvr. Send them to @mehdirhasan and other Qatari spokespersons.

What a devastatingly brilliant ad

Wer Hass gegen Juden verbreitet, ist nicht für die unterdrückten Palästinenser, sondern betrügt alle. Palästinenser wollen ein friedliches Miteinander mit Juden und viele Juden fühlen beim Leid Palästinas mit. Antisemitismus ist eine historische Seuche europäischer Rassisten.

Got my chip today (Astra)!

Now waiting for instructions on how to survive the final 4 weeks of writing my thesis.

Today in 1964 BASIC made its debut, in an effort to take programming out of the world of machine language.

Share if you're old enough to have gotten your start with it.

Principal Component Analysis is one of the most fundamental techniques in data science.

Despite its simplicity, it has several equivalent forms that you might not have seen.

In this thread, we'll explore what PCA is really doing!

@MatiosTV @Plektix It's a waste of time.
