This is total clickbaity title, and the article itself doesn't reveal the actual genes involved. You can't even tell if the result is surprising because of this. Literally if you were to tell me this title on the street, I would a

This is funny, because before I turned 21, I just learned how to make my own beer. Was always a hoot at parties.

Their idea is that they'll dump their product into places where rhino horns shows up (e.g. in hair conditioner in SE Asia), which would then bring prices down for the real thing. Rhino horn is mainly keratin with extra hormones, which

It took me a while to realize that the spiky green balls can be used to hide in if you're smaller than them, but explode you if you're bigger.

Expert generalists are precisely the thing that's missing, especially with how younger scientists are trained. It's harder to fund an expert generalist. Freeman Dyson is a great example because at 89 he published the solution to t

That's not necessarily true, and I'd be incredibly worried if it were true. I think it's more an artifact of the design of this version of 'science' as an institution. Freeman Dyson was a brilliant drop out mathemat

by dluan 11y ago
I think that is true, which is why what this author should be suggesting is changing the incentives of what the 'output' of a scientist should be. Literature is great because it measures how far you're progressing the measuri

I will put up a call for proposals on Experiment.com (I am the founder), don't expect me to commit a lot, but between friends and colleagues, I'm thinking we could review many proposals and get a few exciting projects off the grou

So excited for this. If anyone wants to start experimenting with this data set in cool and open ways, I will personally fund your small micro experiments. NASA's APOD is so awesome and that's just a picture, imagine all the potent

Interesting, thanks for the answer! Is it a local policy? Could there a be a proposition at the local level to change or overturn this?

How is Comcast doing it? And is it in a particularly non-Google way?

by dluan 12y ago
Curious, from a strategy stand point what's the reasoning behind Google not launching gigabit in the Bay Area? At this point they've likely learned and scaled, and Comcast doesn't want to seem like a laggard in a large market

Good clarification, amended my comment too. Although, the 23andme dataset is with live participants with genealogy data. That's a dimension HGP doesn't offer. 1000 Genomes looks great, but how is it funded? Also, how is the sequen

That's a pretty large and unfair statement, and I'd like to know how you are measuring failure. 23andme has created an affordable market for personal genomics, single-handedly forced modernization in regulation and policy, built a

Sometimes instead of serializing the man hours, it's more effective to parallelize them (see FoldIt, GalaxyZoo, etc). I got to work in the Baker Lab that developed this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22267011

Of course, I don't think it's a direct analogy. But it seems that partly what makes YC successful is also what makes BH successful. BH also has an extra 50 years on YC, so of course the models don't match up. And I'm not
