Maybe the public defender system may benefit, because when even wealthy or middle-class defendants can't pay for their lawyers, more lawyers are forced to either become public defenders or work on similar arguments, making financial me

"People Are willing to forgo money to talk to others about themselves." A rationale for psychotherapy! (Not that there are no other benefits, of course)

Actually, when a patient with a mysterious illness lacks a functional version for a particular protein which healthy members of his family do have, this is a valuable clue. It narrows down the search significantly, and there have been case

I think the currenntly more interesting application in sequencing is pathogen detection. These have smaller and simpler genomes (mostly), and tracking them and their features improves epidemiology and the choice of treatments.

It's hard to quantify how much data is left after "analysis". An assembled genome sequence, at least a certain quality, is actually useful beyond machine learning. For example loss-of-function mutations can be detected withou

That seems less of an issue about privacy, and more like a case about badly used genetics/statistics. DNA is fallible, at least with the currently used technology, and police have to get that into their heads. It's not the fault o

There is an Open Source user group in Cuba called GUTL ( http://gutl.jovenclub.cu/ ). I met one of their members at the last Python Unconference in Hamburg. They want to organize a tech conference in Cuba, the idea being that

I find asynchronous programming in Python (especially 3) tons of fun. Before 3, Tornado wasn't half bad either!

learning Python 3 is easier than reading any Perl...

German highways often don't have a speed limit... And when you go over a certain speed, the fuel consumption doesn't have a limit either.

Biotech companies don't risk so much randomness because they like it that way. It's because without most of the randomness there is no possibility of breakthroughs. Still, optimizing experiment design through a balancing of bayesi

Changing a government or even changing the voting system is quite possible without any violence...

Sorry I was misinterpreting. And maybe my statements are a bit harsh. But especially the last election didn't sit right with me.

You (GB) need a better government. Or a better voting system and a constitution, while you are at it.

Difficult or no money doesn't do that either.

Soap operas are not famous for characters dying a violent death.

By the way, what language do they speak? I get some "hits" in my rudimentary Norwegian language skills. So either a Norwegian dialect or one of the Norse family...

Law school tuition fees rise constantly, without any respect to the market. Sounds like a recipe for failure. Of course less students enroll, when the proposition of the 120K loan looks worse and worse.

Then consider this: There are women who participated in a Djangogirls workshop and are working as developers one year later. If total beginners to programming can achieve this, you can learn any new technology in a breeze. You just won&#x27

What I hear is that you have been successful (or think you have been) in quite a few different things which you didn't really want to do. Chances are, you will be successful and unhappy at the next job.

My hypothesis is, that there is a stronger publication bias in psychology journals than in reported clinical trials. And the latter aren't really "publications" in the sense of a peer reviewed, published paper. There is certa

That's not true. Even those who are granted asylum have to live in these camps and are not allowed to live in Australia. "You will not make Australia your home." Also, holding children in prison camps unfit for human habitati

Consider coming to Germany. Berlin has a nice startup scene and both English and Arabic speaking communities. I don't know how easy it is to get a Visa in your particular situation!
