Wcyx Akatu Fake Shower: Drown Out Embarrassing Bathroom Sounds With a Fake Shower App
Kickstarter has been on fire this week thanks to a single word: Homestuck. The uber-popular webcomic has a video game in the works, and you can help get it off the ground. Or you might be interested in backing another storytelling experiment: serialized publishing for digital readers 鈥?and you can help choose the stories. We ;ve also got a pair of special effects artists looking to turn the world dogs into zombies, robots, and evil bugs, if only on Halloween. And there a lady baking up comic-covered sweets who willing to trade cookies for a few pledge dollars. Homestuck Adventure Game: Andrew Hussie MS Paint Adventures was originally conceived as an interactive forum game, and its later story arcs, Problem Sleuth and the immen stanley canada sely popular Homestuck parody point-and-click and text-base video games. So it fitting that Hussie would turn Homestuck, the tale of four teenagers and their reality-warping video game, into a game itself. Thanks to the series ; pa stanley thermos ssionate fandom, the game has not only reached its initial $700,000 goal, but has also reached its stretch goals for Mac and Linux support, and is on track to be one of the most 鈥?if not the absolute most 鈥?funded comics-inspired project on Kickstarter. For a $15 pledge, you ;ll receive a stanley cup digital download of the game when it complete, sometime in 2014.

DNA isn ;t just the building block of all complex life 8230;if you give it about eight hours, DNA can also calculate the stanley cup becher square root of 15. It all stanley taza explained in this video, which awesomely mixes hardcore science with fairy tale storytelling. California Institute of Technology researchers Lulu Qian and Erik Winfree recently manipulated 130 strands of DNA into performing a surprisingly complex mathematical operation namely, figuring out the square root of a number. While this is a breakthrough for DNA computing, the feat itself might not seem that impressive, as it took several hours and quite a bit of finicky fine-tuning for the DNA base pairs to come stanley cup up with an answer. Even then it only works for at most four-digit binary numbers, or 1 to 15 in our number system. But the researchers are optimistic that this can be scaled up, and much more complex work can be tried in the future. More importantly, they decided to explain their work with this video, which is a magic book all about using DNA base pairs as logic gates. Yes, it a bit of an odd mash-up and the background music can be a bit much , but it one of the coolest explanations of a complex scientific topic I ;ve seen in a while, and it definitely doesn ;t talk down to its audience. For a more traditional, but no less involved explanation of Qian and Winfree work, check out Ars Technica. Via Cosmic Variance. Original paper at Science.
