So I was having a debate with a colleague a few weeks ago: the suggestion was that in 20 years time the a large percentage of surgeries done in hospitals will be done by robots . Importantly, we didn't specify which surgeries, but thro

I don't even.... this is amazing. I've been toying with the idea of making something like this, but could never have produced anything as good. I don't know when I was last this excited about a piece of software. When the pa

Evernote + Dropbox means that I am basically device/OS/location agnostic for all my information needs, which given that I switch between 3-4 machines (all with different OSs) regularly is absolutely crucial. That said, some PAINFU

It's not Spike's issue, but to be blunt this is a really stupid response. If he really doesn't give a damn he could just say we're looking into it, and if he wants to use this as an amazing opportunity for a bunch of fre

This is an interesting question, but could we make this into a real poll? I'm happy to do this (you need above a certain karma threshold to create polls - I forget what it is) but if the OP would rather not then that's fine too, a

Consoles are like the archetypical example of loss leader hardware. I assumed this article would be going the other way - that Sony making any profit on the hardware is actually really surprising/impressive.

Holy crap. That's terrifying - where were you when it blew out? How did the staff (pilots and stewards/stewardesses) behave - I've always wondered how well anyone, no matter how much they were trained, would cope in a real [p

That's a really nice idea - and I really hope people will respond well. On a related note - distrokid looks amazing. If I were still making music I'd sign up for sure, just for the Spotify distribution if nothing else. In fact, I

For some reason I find theories and approaches in compression really interesting. For those unfamiliar I recommend Blelloch's introduction to compression ( http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~guyb/realworld/compression.pdf

And in turn, you have inspired me to do something similar. I read (to varying degrees of attentiveness) many, many papers per week, but I never write about them other than to take notes, write questions to the authors etc. For the next 52

Agreed - that's the conclusion I came to too after posting. Still, I'd imagine Harold Scheraga and Andy McCammon are (justifiably) a little sore this morning...

I'm somewhat surprised that Warshel was included instead of Berni Alder, as a more self-consistent group of scientists from a field point of view, and given Alder is largely seen as the father of MD.

As a grad student at Wash U, there's certainly feels like a lot of interaction and connection with the start-up scene here in St Louis, although I've not got involved myself. Just yesterday, there was an elevator pitch competition

I don't mean to be rude, but why is this on HN? I mean, there's nothing wrong with it and its a nice read, but, I dunno, haven't we all had experiences like this? Is there some broader context I'm missing?

The positive from this is that it adds such weight to Glenn Greenwald's integrity and ability.

Slightly off topic, but at what point does "big data" just become data? According to wikipedia (which is in line with how I think about big data) "Big data is the term for a collection of data sets so large and complex that

So sub/sup is offered in the Mac version, and on the web, but NOT on the Windows client. Isn't that crazy!! It's like they're trolling given the CMS can clearly deal with the idea of sub/sup

Could not agree more! I use Evernote, but even there often the bullet points get out of sync and you have to manually realign everything. Evernote is fantastic, but there are certain things I don't understand why it lacks (LaTeX suppor
