Sorry for quoting myself here...but I'm never sure who gets to read what around here.
This is the bottom line of this issue...for ALL OF US (whether you support or oppose Trump) you are allowing him to push a vision of a stronger President when the President already has far too much power. And unless we become a single-party state (a problem all its own) the OTHER SIDE will get to inherit these expanded powers (or expanded accepted interpretations of powers) too. So Trump is making sure a future Democratic president will have more power to impact your life. This is completely shortsighted on everyone's part. THREE CO-EQUAL BRANCHES of government.
Dan Carlin@HardcoreHistory
Add to that the most obvious point of all: any powers Trump expands Executive Authority to include simply makes the office of the President even MORE powerful (and the term the "Imperial Presidency" was coined a half century ago, and it's a much more powerful office now). So, imagine these powers in the hands of your worst nightmare president from the other side of the political spectrum, with weakened protections and checks and balances (because of Trump pushing the envelope now). "What's good for the goose is good for the (political) gander". (The only way that doesn't happen is if we never get the other party in power again...and that's its own nightmare problem, is it not?).

@zapatas_mom The whole situation is ten different kinds of fucked up. It is a uncomfortably wholesome shift away from school-shootings though… Still murder, still wrong, but at least now I kind of get it.

Can a history nerd tell me what happens after a general population becomes so enraged and outraged against their ruling class that they start cheering for assassins? What comes next?

@iamnot_elon No. Be nice. Buy her a Tesla, and make her wear a Tesla jacket on the air.

I am very skeptical of the AI/ML/computational methods to predict protein-protein interactions. Prove me wrong.
I present a challenge for anyone who claims they can predict protein-protein interactions.

@LibertyCappy It makes perfect sense if you accept medical price gouging to be completely normal. Any sane society would make it a crime, but here we are…

@PRSecor I am jealous of this “rabbit hole” you are in. Extremely cool, very deep science down there. Keep going.

The mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in B. burgdorferi is not well defined, but likely involves phage-mediated transduction

@sashayanshin @Snowden Decent alternative to Adobe? They charge a ton and I have been thinking of canceling anyway…
English
I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.
The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.
This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .
You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.
Going to have to learn some new tools.

@drbehardisty I just paid less than that for a used car…

@d_huelgas You lose a lot for sure, even with phage that are relatively tolerant to cesium step gradients. It all depends on the phage you are trying to purify, and your intended application for the purification…
