In the "cloud" there is still physical media somewhere.

I'd really like to see a bunch of Russian KGB types try to come up with a meme that resonates with chan kids.

RTFA e^(i*tau)=1

In the current version of America's Army, you shoot at soldiers of a fictional country called Czervania.

That is the most ignorant thing I've heard today. Gene expression levels are germane to understanding any biochemistry or signaling pathways in a given tissue.

The reason it was cost effective is because, like all console manufacturers, Sony subsidizes the hardware with the expectation of recouping the cost via game developer license fees.

I attended a talk by Dr. Atala earlier this year. His background in urology, so urethras and bladders were the first applications of the technology. The problem with other organs is vascularization. Without infiltration by blood vessels, the printed tissue can only survive in a layer 5cm from blood. That's fine for hollow organs like those that have gone to trial.

The same technology has already printed a chicken heart, that spontaneously started contracting and coordinated the rhythm across the whole organ within a day.

Whereas government jobs create knowledge and infrastructure, Silicon Valley mostly produces stock bubbles with "Step 2. ????" business plans.

Aerobic respiration, which most microorganisms and tumor cells don't do.

In the garbage collection case, either
1. The parent should not have been hooked to garbage collection before its members were contstructed
or
2. Garbage collection should be suppressed during a constructor

In the exception case, a constructor that is going to throw has the responsibility of cleaning up its members before it throws. When a constructor throws, the destructor is not run. If a constructor fails and exceptions aren't available, it should still clean up its members and set a flag to let the destructor know not to do anything.

I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but the answer to your problem is not to do this:

This is a circular dependency that will never make logical sense, much less have a sensible implementation. If you find yourself needing to do this, there should be a way to renormalize your object model so that the member objects are not dependent on (or even aware of) the existence of the thing they are destined to be members of (at least until all the parties involved have completed their constructors, but preferably maintaining orthogonality through the entire life cycle)

IMO, "broadband" is "better than a POTS analog modem"

We don't need more science education (except maybe educating legislators). We need more science investment and employment to clear out the backlog of science postdocs that have been educated in numbers far in excess of jobs that require that sort of qualification.
