If it's the account I think it may be, the account either no longer exists, or is at least hidden from public view.

I've long expected that this will happen - but not yet and not like this.
At the moment, the upper limit on how long a commute by car can be is the human bladder. With driverless cars, that upper limit can be made to go away.

“When arguing, you should focus on ethics, not self-interest”
I guess that’s the ethical position. But you are going to persuade a lot more ppl if you can hit both ethics and self-interest. Because ppl don’t generally act against their own (broadly defined) self-interests.

New to me too, but from context: v good of you to give everything up front, no mucking around, no need to chase anything, no waiting to see what happens.

I would say that she has guessed that burn doesn't mean burn the whole CD, but doesn't know what it does mean.
In answer to her questions:
- was it like a ritual? Yes.
- did it work? If you did the ritual right, yes, sometimes.

Honestly, that's not a bad plan. Swapping a hard to deal with problem (cancer) for an easy to deal with problem (bacteria) sounds like a big win to me.
Then the consensus signal doesn't have to completely contain the bacteria forever, it just has to keep them sufficiently under control until when they've done for the cancer and then you can pump in the antibiotics.

OP is right about the gene turning on, but it still seems a bit under-explained.

"the researchers first added a gene to the organism from a related bacterium that can better tolerate oxygen, enabling it to live longer near the outside of a targeted tumour."

"They then found a way to activate the oxygen-resistant gene at just the right time – critical to preventing bacteria from inadvertently growing in oxygen-rich places such as the bloodstream"

https://uwaterloo.ca/news/media/beating-cancer-eating-cancer

I can see why they the gene isn't necessary, at first - the center of the tumor doesn't contain oxygen.

And I can see why they the gene becomes necessary, the edges of the tumor do contain oxygen.

So that switch does keeps the bacteria from wandering where they shouldn't, at least at first.

Not clear to me what stops the bacteria from going for a wander once there are lots of them, but at least they'll destroy the tumor before that that happens. I guess.

Perhaps the article has it flipped, except that doesn't make sense either - it would allow the bacteria to go places they shouldn't as long as there aren't too many of them.

DNS outbound tends to be allowed even when other protocols are not. If you run your own DNS server you can use DNS to tunnel any traffic you want. @sabik @arichtman @k3ym0

There's a lot of it-depends to it.
I've met plenty of people who were happy to practice/show off their English.
I've had colleagues who used English to speak to each other, because neither wanted to speak the other's language.
I've one friend who says they wouldn't know the right vocabulary to use their native language professionally.

TLDR: The tragedy of the commons is that they were privatized.
So I guess it is relevant.
If there’s a moral it has to be that putting up a satellite doesn’t mean you own the space it’s in. And maybe: it’s time to charge rent. #hashtagNeeded
