Прошло более 20 лет с того момента, когда тарифы на мобильную связь указывались в у.е., а GPRS трафик подразделялся на GPRS-Internet и GPRS-WAP. Последний был довольно дорогим способом почитать...

Experiments, technology, and thoughts on life.

Yon is a little UI for knowledge designed to be used every day. Add your notes, write your diary, and connect thoughts with bidirectional links. Explore your text through an acme-inspired interface to dive deep or go wide and always find your way back. Yon code and your notes are contained in a single standalone html file with no dependency, so that you can open the lid and tweak any part of it and make it your own.

The bridge spider uses its web as an engineered “external ear” up to 10,000 times the size of its body, according to a preprint study posted to bioRxiv on October 18. The discovery, which has not yet been peer reviewed, challenges many assumptions that scientists have held for years about how spiders and potentially other arthropods navigate and interact with the world around them.

“Evolutionarily speaking, spiders are just weird animals,” Jessica Petko, a Pennsylvania State University York biologist who didn’t work on the new study, writes in an email to The Scientist. “While it has been long known that spiders sense sound vibration with sensory hairs on their legs, this paper is the first to show that orb weaving spiders can amplify this sound by building specialized web structures.”
