Opposite experience here. Services like Dark Sky and Wunderground are so inaccurate up here in Alaska that it's dangerous. NWS is also often pretty wrong but way less wrong than anything else. Interesting to hear your

It's an interesting project for sure. I especially like being able to manipulate Finder menus with this.

For someone using Slate (js) that has also read your docs, I'm not sure what you mean by more integrated. Could you elaborate on the use of that word?

This is immensely useful. Would love to see support for custom drop-zones with custom actions. For example, allow the user to change the width from 1/2 screen to 1/3 or 1/4. Or even 1/2 width and 1/2 height instead of 1/2 width and full height.

If they're drawing Carbon with respect to its orbitals then they are completely wrong.

Carbon has both S and P orbitals whereas water has hybridized orbitals. This would mean both their carbon and water are drawn incorrectly.

Best I can tell, they have it wrong. They might be interpreting size differently than I expect but Carbon should be around 220pm and Water around 310pm.

Rough estimates for diameter are based on molecular mass and density; density being variable. I'm curious how they did their calculations.

Stem cells are totipotent and can give rise to any type of specialized cell in your body. Cell signaling induces horribly complex signaling pathways that lead to profound changes in transcription of that cell's DNA.

As an embryo, your gonads start in your chest and, through signals from your brain, end up in your pelvic region.

Erythrocytes (Red blood cells) are a great example of specialization. Before they become erythrocytes they have a nucleus. Their nucleus is ejected, their shape completely changes from spherical to flat-with-a-dimple and they are not a red blood cell. Obviously, erythrocytes cannot divide.

It seems he's aware of what his experiment does and does not say.

Causation or not, he's achieving more intervals without coffee.

Yeah. It looks like it's as simple as `yoursearch filetype:pdf` in Google.

Lame since Google's interface for this is far more useful.
