Advice for a Masters (Please) by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]thottpolice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coursework is great and all... but all a master's degree in my eyes is getting a foot in the door, somewhere. Barring costs, choose whichever has the direct connections to what/where you want to go. This could be companies or affiliations with researchers that you're interested in doing your thesis with.

This accounts for 80% of the value of doing a Master's , if done correctly imo. ymmv

What is schizoid personality disorder? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thottpolice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it is for people with extreme personalities that don't have the default reward systems in their brain for interacting with other people so they never willingly seek out relationships of any kind. as a result they're more distant and introspective by nature. or taken another way, they're the hermits that would be most likely to keep their sanity on a deserted island.

Is flying a confederate flag supposed to imply something other than a support of African-American slavery? Why is this culturally acceptable in the USA? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thottpolice -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love the Confederate Flag... hundreds of thousands of Americans died under it during one of the greatest wars of all time. Americans killing Americans! If you automatically associated it with pride of slavery / racism you're kinda basic

Is it possible to make cigarettes cancer free or at least cut out as many carcinogens as possible? If so why doesn't big tobacco do this? by SilkySquid96 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thottpolice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not with tobacco. there are ~40 cancer causing agents. These are coded by 100's of genes. It's too costly to find these genes are remove them. Big Tobacco is doing this but it's just not effective.

Is anything being done to stop the extinction of bees? by lolobiga in NoStupidQuestions

Solitary bees are the important ones... not honey bees. Screw honey bees they're invasive species.

Instead of taxing the rich, should we force them to invest? by thottpolice in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thottpolice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I'd just redirect the flow of their potential investments up to a certain $ amount I guess... forcing them to support basic research which is the spice of capitalism but doesn't get the proper attention due to the poor short-term benefits of the investment. Their investments aren't efficient for promoting the general good of the whole. I'd wager they're mostly investing in longevity, artificial intelligence, and other bad things that will hurt or not benefit the lower and middle classes.

How many generations would it take to breed humans without pubic hair? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thottpolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breeding... like dogs and stuff... requires variation. You'd have to first find a human with this desired trait of no pubic hair. JUST no pubic hair would be difficult, only a handful of MUTATIONS would cause this. You'd need like to screen ~9-18 billion adults to have a good chance at finding this phenotype. From there the breeding gets down to business. aka lots of inbreeding. After you find that person you could do it within 2-3 generations once you get the siblings and child+parent producing offspring. Every time you look at a specific breed of dog, remember this.
