   What are your thoughts on Gravitational's Teleport?

   Those aforementioned products are designed for prototyping, for production Atmel chips are fairly competitive.

   The last two pairs are non-issues, both have plenty of funding. For the former however, one misstep and you have the FDA/DHS or one of state medical unions breathing down your neck.

   For a BOM, 2 cokes is not exactly cheap once you scale it to tens and hundred of thousands. Imagine a SaaS where you are charged for every single database row, that is the reality of hardware unit economics.

   Having an effect is different from being able to sell a product based on that effect. For regulated fields like pharmacy, the FDA regulatory approval test requires proving efficacy against a placebo. A doctor may (under certain specific cir

   In light of how the previous Mozilla CEO was forced out over private contributions to non-profits, do you see Sublime becoming more relevant given the current trend of deplatforming? Do you implement any policies or information assurance pr

   You can include such features if you are an OEM vendor e.g. Samsung can install their own app store as root and give access to all the above features.

    A lot of the 'alternative' app stores are either for piracy or for heavily fringe content (think NSFW) or open source only like F-droid. There are also app stores that are region specific e.g. east asia or Russian-speaking. It is

    Applied genetics. The mapping from gene to phenotype is not, shall we say, injective. Bring in the complexity of epigenetics, biochemistry and you have a complex mess. Biological systems are tremendous black boxes with many second and third

    I am glad that this is on the frontpage. I distinctly recall that Hacker News does not believe in the existence of open source biomedical engineering. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22578216

    No they are not. It is an absolute disgrace to the other sciences if you put stuff like The Selfish Gene in the same class as Spivak. Do you want people to go around telling CS beginners that Hackers and Painters is an introductory CS t

    What do you do now? Any links to your old research? Sounds quite interesting. If you have the chance, get into computational biology, it is getting quite popular right now.

    The strange paradox is that the people who advocate for "peaceful slavery bad, dangerous freedom good" are all-in for deregulation when it comes to guns, psychedelics, and marijuana but you don't hear from them at all when it

    Here we go again :) Let's see if HN will crucify me for daring to compare a PCR machine to a slow cooker. Also, look up OpenTrons. Lab automation is not glamorous work. There is no huge consumer market like 3D printers and drones to he

    It sounds easy in theory but most people hate the idea of messing with biology, believing that it should be regulated and professionalised as much as possible. Even on this very forum, the mere suggestion that a PCR machine (basically a glo

    By your logic, the creators of PageRank should have chased after the tenureship rat race like every upstanding academic instead of trying to commercialise.

    There is no reason computer science needs to be steeped in academia. The only reason why it is so popular in the first place is because it is so practical and applied. Easy to profit from. If you worship your ivory towers, feel free to beco

    Why is GTK going back to constraint based layouts after Apple is going in the opposite direction?

    I hope so. Because otherwise you are not learning real mathematics, just rote memorization. It is not good because that is the mathematical equivalent of a code monkey.

    You are not really learning how to make proofs though, you are learning how to make specifications. There is an important difference. It is one thing to "prove by induction that this loop will end" and another completely to write
