Embrace the procrastination

Nice nice. Now how about a mobile app to find them? Be nice to have ETA and automatic route planning. Timetables and route maps are so last century.

Commuters here, how’s the experience using the public transport option on Maps? We had Moovit once but it’s now some ad-infested nightmare.

Such progress. My eyes simply refuse to open without a struggle.

Muka tak hensem

Yep. Not exactly drowning in attention here.

Muka tak payah hensem, cuma perlu pinggang yang langsing. Penting ialah rambut

Damn it, only one out of three =(

That’s a layperson’s perspective there. For the average scientist, they would have seen thousands of papers over the years before one that changes the field shows up. In physics, it was decades between the model of the atom to the theory of relativity then more recently, confirmation for gravitational waves.

Ah but if a discovery is useless, why can it be used (applied) after all? Hence, it simply had not found its application. It is true that discoveries don’t always come with an immediate practical application. But if our species limits the search for knowledge to merely the next best way to do a thing, we’d have a dim view of the world beyond our own concerns.

Another day another white paper and preprint gaining too much media attention. For groundbreaking stuff like this, wait for the peer review in Nature

Remember that paper on changing normal cells into stem cells with electric shocks? That was total rubbish.

Groundbreaking discoveries are a dime a dozen. But to pragmatists, making a paper that has wide application matters far more.
