Link to a page about their special issue, though it does have a TL;DR of each article. Seems that they are almost equally split between utopia (energy is free and we can make everything) and dystopia …

I would certainly throw money at such a tool, but the question then becomes scope. Autodesk has their Character Generator and Adobe bought out Fuse that has a competing product. But there is still not…

Key quotes from the article: "This method can enable the simultaneous emission of two photons that are “entangled,” meaning they share the same quantum state even when separated. Such generation …

OK, so will any of these programs let me give a quick character description, a setting, a general outline of the story, and then give me a couple hundred pages that I need to lightly edit? Because at …

From the article:
"Fly with me now, on a tour through the world of elevation data" Basically a nice article talking about how the data is gathered, stored, and sometimes used.

Which takes me to a google search page with the article as the top link, and when I click it I still get the paywall. Something I'm missing?

History of A2 milk, and a bit of discussion as to what little science there is behind the difference in A1 protein inclusive milk and A2 only milk.
comment
Yeah, I should probably program a bot to do this eventually. It's more that I get tired (personally) of seeing an article on the front page with no discussion, and from some of the titles wonderi…

Case study of building a website. Feels a bit more like an ad for the website than a real case study, but that may be me.

From the article - "WebThemis works in Google Chrome as PNaCl module; it can be loaded during regular web session, or used as a library within Chrome App" - "Directly calling cryptograp…

Overview direct from the article - "CacheBleed is a side-channel attack that exploits information leaks through cache-bank conflicts in Intel processors. By detecting cache-bank conflicts via min…

One particular approach to Climate Studies - "Coexistance Approach" - is being criticized by folks following the other approaches. And it appears that the controversy is heating up (sorry...…

Reader's Digest Version - Rotten teeth weren't really much of a problem until we started living from agriculture in earnest. By then we had already mastered stone arrow tips, which scrape aw…

Great discussion of the cohort studies in the UK, and what results are coming out from the late 40s, 80s, and Millennial cohorts.
comment
If I may add, putting a title on the videos in your promo might help as well. I saw a couple interesting shots in the "trailer" but couldn't figure out which programs those may have com…
