Comment to a private group on Facebook about DNA genealogy

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,

Comment on Google Search Hints for Search for Melting point of Al2O3

https://www.google.com/search?q=melting+point+of+al203 You are giving Fahrenheit temperatures on the Internet, and the global standard is SI. You are not only serving the few people in the world who are still not using Metric, but everyone. Or you ought to. K is the abbreviation for Kelvin.

NASA Web methods, policies, practices, staff, training, purpose

Emily, I have not forgotten about you and NASA.gov. In fact, I spent many full days checking different aspects of what is going on, who is doing it, who it serves, how much (if any) user involvement is allowed, the level of practice shown in the pages, integration (or not) with contractors and federal agencies,

Are 3D simulation results shared globally in an efficient manner?

David, I came across an old video on YouTube that refers to PSAAP.  Here is the link: Towards air-breathing hypersonic vehicles through numerical simulations – PSAAP at Stanford by Ivan Bermejo-Moreno https://youtu.be/llM8RSGagXI?t=120 In this simulation, at two minutes, it is showing cross sections.  I was wondering if, in any of these 3D simulations you do,

I looked at the people and groups that you follow, and a bit of who they follow and are linked to.  https://twitter.com/tdforg  I attached my notes. The totals are not indicative of

Note about why I built Sculptor.Org

J, I talked to my sister, T, yesterday. She is one who has painted all her life. Maybe she will have time and space to do it again. For ten years, about 20 hours a week, back from about 1993 to 2003, I ran a website for sculptors. At the end it had 50,000 unique

Open Algorithms, Open Algorithm Groups, Open Algorithm Development

https://www.facebook.com/TheNRAO/ I sent a private message. Guess you guys don’t check that very often. I was asking about raw data from radio telescopes that can be used by “open algorithm” developers for training and experiments. Richard Collins, posted on Facebook on 30 Jun 2021.  My first public use of “open algorithm developers”. “open algorithm development”

Feedback to Hotjar at iopscience.iop.org Is there anything more we could do

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6382/ab685e Dear HotJar and IOP Readers, Your questions are too specific. I came here because of a search on Google for gravitational waves software, particularly how the signal on the two arms of each detector is extracted from the single interference strain data. Now your articles are all in text and pictures, so I have
