Toxoplazma leze do mozku. Co kdyby to dělala pro dobrou věc?

Toxoplazma je lstivá kokcidie, která se dokáže bez větších problémů dostat do mozku hostitele. Vědci ji hackli a udělali z ní transportní prostředek pro léčivo, který vlastními silami překoná hematoencefalickou bariéru a pronikne do mozku pacienta. Výzkum byl úspěšný, toxoplazma je zdatný pašerák! http://www.osel.cz/13594-toxoplazma-leze-do-mozku-co-kdyby-to-delala-pro-dobrou-vec.html

What Amazon’s NBA deal means for the future of sports media rights

It was not exactly a fast break. When the NBA last week officially spurned Warner Bros. Discovery’s attempts to continue a 40-year partnership between the league and WBD subsidiary, TNT Sports, opting instead for a deal with Amazon Prime, it was the end of a long, slow,

Netflix plans compared: how to best balance price and features

I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve gotten pretty awesome at jumping back and forth between Netflix rate plans.

Why? Because they keep going up and I keep throttling down. I’m a cheapskate.

But I also have three kids, and their collective interest in Netflix—which ebbs and flows—determines which plan I need to subscribe to in order to keep them all happy.

And while I can assure you that Netflix will inevitably raise its rates at some point in the future, here’s what

CIOs have never been more important to a company’s success

Despite all the technological innovation over the past 30 years, we are still asking the same data quality questions. Is my data accurate, complete, consistent? No wonder the issue isn’t going away: Without high quality data, enterprises can’t be data-driven. And if enterprises are not data-driven, there are greater instances of inefficiency, missed opportunities, and ultimately, financial loss. And no enterprise—regardless of size—can afford to operate like that.

CrowdStrike showed us the risks of over-automation. Will we heed the warning?

Last month’s CrowdStrike incident was preventable. Even though the company claims to have testing protocols, it still managed to release buggy software in an automated update that caused tremendous damage and inconvenience to thousands of people. There are many factors that contributed to this mistake, and some of them have to do with people, assumptions, and misapplied startup culture.
