Actually, it's pretty cool you can do this in Arizona. Wish this was possible in California. I've installed the Theranos app on my iPhone, and was pleasantly surprised at their very affordable a la carte clinical lab testing. It f

The real root of the problem is lack of regulation. A scarce resource like the last mile copper and cable, is owned by the oligopoly of Comcast, AT&T and a few others. This constitutes in essence a monopoly, which are illegal for obviou

The strict Diesel emissions standards for passenger vehicles in North America are presumably an anti-competitive measure. US car makers have been notoriously behind in Diesel technology.

According to my lawyer, the funding amount for an E2-visa has to be appropriate for the planned business. So no clear minimum, but the ultimate decision is in the hands of the official who reviews the application.

Transcoding happens on the fly, in hardware I assume. The compression is configurable, from a very high quality 1080p profile, down to more lossy streams for mobile devices, 3 profiles total IIRC (non tweak able). The highest quality mode i

Not exactly easy or cheap, but a data point for you: My OTA DVR for the last 8 years setup has been a PC with Windows Media Center. Apart from the setup, there is no monthly cost for the guide data, as with Tivo etc. Right now this runs on

Regarding 23andMe, I'd reconsider that view. They are sitting on a treasure trove of medical and genetic data. And they have begun to monetize this data, which I believe was their endgame all along. More here: http://www.for

CT scan time is ~0.2-0.5 seconds for a 160mm slice, so a whole body can probably be scanned fairly quickly. However, CT scanning is only done for the body parts of interest, to keep radiation exposure low. Most fascinating here is the abili
