Welp. That's a big change.

NIH cuts indirect costs to 15%. (Big change from the typical indirect costs paid to universities that are in the 50% range.)

I wonder if this will apply to private businesses as well, many of whom had previously negotiated much higher indirect costs. (I've seen 80% and even 100% before.)

Want to help preserve data and information that's being removed from US government websites? Got a spare computer and some bandwidth?

Run an instance of the Archive Team Warrior VM and you'll contribute to the distributed downloading and preservation of stuff to the Internet Archive:

It's (relatively) simple to get up and running, and you don't need to have a ton of your own storage space to contribute.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.
