The Y chromosome carries a gene called SRY, which turns on male genes on other chromosomes.

The Amami spiny rat, one of the species that lack a Y chromosome and the Sry.

As per the press release, under normal conditions, the Sry gene on the Y chromosome triggers the formation of the testes. However, the Sry gene, along with the Y chromosome, has vanished in a small number of rodent species.

Elon Musk might have just propped himself as the new face of the anti-Apple group working to counter the iPhone maker’s monopoly in the app market. In a tweet, Musk accused Apple of threatening to withhold Twitter from the App Store without giving any specific reason and called it censorship.

Construction and 3D Printing. This is a really cool video. There is demand for affordable housing, and it can be built and rented out, or just lived in. Imagine if many people where you live are empowered with simple housing. Would it be a waste of money if it can pay for itself?

This is the cool company that makes these cool machines. The USA sent $1 billions in weapons to Ukraine in one month, to a war that costs $1 billion a month. Elon Musk just paid $44 billion for Twitter when a $50 billion investment in affordable housing could net him how much in rental income if the houses cost $15,000 in materials?

Elon Musk replied to several tweets from users about Twitter’s character limit. A separate user suggested a 420-character cap, which Musk approved of.

The two stage vector interpretation of quantum theory apart from attempting to resolve the paradoxes of traditional quantum theory provides a physical basis for teleology and understanding how there is a small probability that future events affect present ones.

Artificial intelligence gets smarter, more capable, and more world-transforming every day. Here’s why that might not be a good thing.
