That cat looks like they are trying to escape.

The data would compress well, true. However, the DNA in the cell doesn’t have anything like data compression, and it makes the calculations more complex, so it’s only fair to compare uncompressed sizes.

The full genome is 3.1 billion base pairs (6.2 Gbit = 775 MByte). Each parent (i.e., one egg or one sperm) contributes half of that, 1.55 billion base pairs (3.1 Gbit = 388 MByte).

Each base-pair requires two bits, not four. Picking an arbitrary convention: 00 = A, 01 = T, 10 = G, 11 = C.

This calculation is off by an order of magnitude.

The human genome has about 3.1 billion base pairs. Each sperm has half of that. Ignoring epigenetics, each base pair has four options (A/T/C/G), so it can be represented by two bits each.

All told, that’s 3.1 gigabits = 388 megabytes per gamete.

There’s still a few days left to file comments objecting to the change. Link in the article.

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

The voltage in the chart represents the “ground” available inside the chip, measured against some better and more stable ground available elsewhere.

Still waiting for ISO timestamp support in OmegaStar.

They’re too close! explodes

OP looks more like fabric. I don’t have access to the kind of printer that could make what’s shown.

It also looks like it loops around the back? I don’t know if sun-visors are standard enough to make a generic fit, or if this is a custom job.

Where can I buy this?

UTC has leap seconds. We can do better. PTP/TAI for lyfe.

A perfectly logical clock would use a radio broadcast to count off seconds since a predefined epoch. Put a few of them way up high, so more people can see it, and make them so astonishingly precise that you could tell where you are just by listening.

That can’t be right. Everyone knows 24 is the biggest number there is.

As Agent Smith said of '90s New South Wales, “the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization”.

Is that “two-thirds of the people left behind, each in one piece” or “two-thirds of the scattered remains of each victim”? Because those are very different problems.

You can always build your own out of LEGO.

Invent a time machine, send a robot back in time to terminate their parents.

But why is the background mirrored? All of the text is backwards.
