sequencing continue to drop in price far faster than moore's law. https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/DNA-Sequen... Here is the archive of the wired article, btw: https://web.archive.

We've been using overleaf in my lab. In my opinion a much better collaboration platform than word or Google docs, but still has a long way to go. It only very partially solves the LaTeX syntax discoverability problem though.

shrug 85% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the us border. If you want to go private take a drive. I’ve lived in both countries and will take the security of the Canadian system any day.

evaluation and the peer review process all pretty much ignore the supplementary materials, so leaving them until the end is kind of systematically encouraged.

pluses and minuses for me. Went on Sertraline (zoloft) for a couple years for anxiety issues. I had some weight gain and sexual side effects, but nothing too unmanageable. Getting on was rough for me with lots of side effects for 6-8 weeks.

yup, back and forth. I was a PM at msft then went to get my phd and did a lot of dev, then into dev mgmt, and now I’m doing some PM work again! I’ve found it all pretty fun, but in different ways.

thanks. Really interesting perspective on the events. Fail is different than ran its course.

usually. Depends on how much I care about the article. If it is squarely relevant to my interests, I click to it directly. Otherwise, the HN commentary is often more enlightening (or at least amusing).

Weird as they are, I need a pair! I currently use a face shield respirator helmet when the forest fire smoke gets bad and I still want to be outside working in the garden, so this would be more convenient!

it all worked out in the end, but when I left I had a few thousand options that were just barely in the money. Maybe $2k total. Unfortunately, they neglected to report the cost basis and the IRS sent me a $900k tax bill! It was certainly a

neat! I recently had my teeth scanned for a night orthotic and decided that I needed a 3D print of my teeth. It was challenging walking the office staff how to get me the STL but once I did they were amazed when I walked in with a print of

I left Microsoft Research and started a PhD at age 38. I have had a lot of fun and gone a completely different direction than if I had stayed. Certainly I'll never recover those earning years. From an economic perspective it is a ludic

Water is fine a lot longer than that, btw. I live off-grid and fill a cistern with Canadian tap water (minimal chlorine). I peek in the cistern once a year or so, fill by truck every few months. I have access to a microbiology lab and have

I'd love to touch base on how you are handling this now.. I'm using a combination of geoserver, react, and openlayers for a Canadian Arctic 3573 projection. I'm derekja various places including Gmail. Thanks!
