@Plinz Can not visit 39c3 this year 😭 and now this!

@bayraktar_1love Did Russia trigger with its invasion the build-up of a second mossad? Is my impression wrong, that there are more an more such operations in Russia which are most likely executed by Ukraine?

We analyzed all 5734 of the available WGS samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas, and find far, far smaller numbers of microbes than previous reports that appeared (with great fanfare) in @Nature and @CellCellPress. With @YuchenGe1 et al https://t.co/qTUvkbCuPC

@XLR Yes. How do you convince your team/boss that this is important long-term? Because the short-term satisfaction of new fancy features can be very tempting for many.

@TDcracy @Plinz Ah, the memories! Spaghetti bolognese wig 🤣

[Michael Schmid @thvdvht]

@ela_gralinska @ClemensKohl @VingronLab Excellent approach and tool! Using it right now.

@CredentialedRSS @timrpeterson THIS! Years ago I talked to a CS PhD. She: "DNA is just code! Can't be hard. CS will solve all bio. soon!" Explained that DNA is also hardware at the same time. And thermodynamics. And, and... Writing a compiler is childs play compared to some biol. problems. Did not believe me.

@thvdvht @timrpeterson I dunno, why don't I have an optomic breakpoint debugger and test suite that runs on arcaea, yeast, and cross-builds to run on caterpillars? Bunch o' NIR II tags to pass vectors. Cohort biota tagged to give heap size...

We can guess why it did that. It has no idea:

The stuff uncovered in the Twitter whistleblower report is much crazier than anything in the "Twitter files" but it's much less politically/tribally salient so it got no attention. Going to do a thread on some of the craziest things, in no particular order.

[Michael Schmid @thvdvht]

@skepteis Ok, wasn't sure 😄

[Michael Schmid @thvdvht]

@skepteis No, max. about 4 at the same time. Is this supposed to be surprising? :)

[Michael Schmid @thvdvht]

@skepteis How is tactile switching of cherry mx brown? I am more the linear guy 😄

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

Das Ufer der Seine, einst eine graue Straße für Autos, heute ein Ort der Erholung für alle Menschen. Auch hier gab es Widerstand und das Ende der Freiheit wurde besungen, heute möchte keiner mehr zurück. Dies macht Mut und zeigt, das Wandel möglich ist.

@pathogenomenick Actually, did not consider buying the book. Did not even know of its existence. But thanks for the fibre reminder -- much needed after that piece of chocolate cake I just inhaled 😇

[Michael Schmid @thvdvht]

@pathogenomenick Thanks Nick

@skepteis I am a peace-loving person. But if this was my kid, the teacher would have to start digging trenches. I know this is a bad taste joke. But this mindset is exactly what lead to trenches 100 y ago. Along with our evolution. But not following stupid rules is something we can teach.
