In Episode 1 at 12:11, it says “I am not taking sides here, but I am saying if this is correct politically”. The phrase “If this is correct politically” is more like a question. So I would likely say (1) I am not taking sides here; but, I am saying, “Is this is correct politically?”

Clif, I am looking at the origins of Sumeria. The language is similar to Tamil, and the roots of the early languages include Sanskrit. An Indian grammarian named Panini studied and formalized a grammar notation for Sanskrit in a way that is considered to be an early context free grammar. The reliance on “string rewriting

Emily, Humans and animals with eyes are pretty good at quickly identifying things seen in the past. It is a basic survival skill. “Identify the person”, “Identify the weapon”, “Identify the ripe fruit”. So when training populations for basic survival, you probably have to go back to “Identify and classify quickly” – if you value

I have reviewed the use of video playback speeds in various services. YouTube uses 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0 but it is not sufficient. I have experimented with speeds from 1/100 to 100x or faster. Rather than a fixed set of speeds, an intelligent assistant can help. For action movies, they have

Dean, Kevin, I am at https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/aiahmi/# and wondering what the data looks like. It says “Browser, Movie, Frames” but those are not formats, those are types. A frame format might be PNG, FITS, SER or some other lossless format. You can make your URL for your names to be MailTo:dean_dot_pesnell@nasa_dot_gov so that it can be

I came across PubFacts.com while searching for “parallel sequential” “fluorescence in situ hybridization”. There is no location or identification information. No team. It looks like someone copied material from PubMed and MedLine then put really basic queries and listings. I wrote to ask them who they are, where they are, and what their goals might

Jane, I commented on your “Urgent appeal” posting. You have edited and curated many things. How would you approach the wide variety and purposes of postings on the Internet related to “Afghanistan”? — Any topic that has millions or billions of entry points on the Internet? That is what I am facing with the Internet

Related: A desktop photo scanner can get 6400 dots per inch over 8.5*11 inches. That is 3.82976 GigaPixels with 32 bit colors. See also: PetaPixelProject.com with many 10 to 100 GigaPixel images. They use “Atlas Browser Based Viewer” that seems to work. I am not recommending it, just noting they seem to be able to

Even though it might seem extra work, I might log into another account, but rather than make me the manager, I leave them as owner and manager, and invite myself as a DNA collaborator, and invite myself to their tree as Editor. Life is long and the people you help should have some measure of

This group has grown to over 100,000 members. I see some wonderful advice that should probably be in a globally accessible form. This is a “private” group, so nothing posted here is seen or indexed and available except to people who join. I have helped more than a hundred people with finding their birth parents,
