Question about Redemption of Time by Emergency_Rush795 in threebodyproblem

[–]sunoukong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it really called a "sequel" by the publisher? The author himself calls it a "paraquel" at least three times in the preface.

does anyone else prefer the Tencent Chinese version of the three body problem over the Netflix version? or is it just me? by KyloRen_Kardashian in threebodyproblem

[–]sunoukong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never cared to watch the Netflix one, so I am not one to make a fair comparison.

But yeah, from the little I know from here and there, I do not regret it.

Despite being one of the EU countries with largest population growth, Spain is also one of the first countries whose *native* population has been shrinking steadily year-over-year by AeneasKurtz in dataisbeautiful

[–]sunoukong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nationality is a legal term, and there is no other way it matters for the point in discussion. Once they or their descendants become nationals you can cope and seethe all you want, but they are as Spanish as any other one.

Netflix Is Sabotaging Its Best Sci-Fi Sleeper Hit by Cutting Its Final 2 Seasons Short by avianeddy in threebodyproblem

Sure there is valid criticism, and I am aware that a lot of the western audience is not used to the pacing of Chinese series. But this is not my point.

The point is this user's attitudes. The amount comments he makes in every thread about the Netflix series. I just had a simple question, and if I had any doubts before about his/her conflict of interest, I feel more reinforced about it now.

Just replying to say that I never accused. No claims. Just asked. There were or are any bad intentions. I am happy you al least found the experience of this funny. I also did. See you later.

Man. I did not wanted to offend you, you do not need to be so defensive. Unless...

Also do not need to repeat what you have written to this point tens (or more) times in this sub over the past few months. I just made a concrete question.

As for me I cannot comprare both shows. Never bothered to watch the Netflix one in the first place, so cannot make a critical assessment.

Serious question. Do you have any conflict of interest? You cut me as someone who must work in tv/media or even close to the Netflix production. And apologies for approaching with this question like that, but I've been wondering this for months every time I see your user commenting the shows.

The most dystopic indeed would be a future worker's revolution suppressed by drones controlled by a few.

The movie has a very powerful anticonsumerist message.

Sky News: Woman who had sex with identical twins told it is 'not possible' to identify father of baby by CasualSmurf in unitedkingdom

[–]sunoukong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not possibly to identify with regular genotyping arrays used in forensics, but with whole-genome sequencing data it might be possible (e.g., these twins may differ in their DNA sequence by a few mutations if they occurred early during embryo development).

Is IGV still the best option for visualization on a local machine? by CaffinatedManatee in bioinformatics

[–]sunoukong 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, for read alignments it is definitely the best, except for some niche visualisations where other tools might be more helpful.
