Dry eye is an interest of mine. I saw this in the news on Friday I think, and the resulting statements from Allergan and the Native American Tribe (Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe). It's really a brilliant move by their patent lawyer. Native

I know very little about cybersecurity and cryptography, but wouldn't it make sense for each device have a different passcode associated with a touch id? For example, my iPhone has a passcode XXXXXX, with touch ID associated with it. A

I think the idea is limiting the number of organisms total that you kill.

I'll try and explain why Jains do not eat garlic (along with other rooted vegetables like onions and potatoes): When taking out the entire plant, you also take out any organisms like bugs and such from their ecosystem, killing them in

A mentor of mine who used to work for a government agency once told me something that I hadn't really appreciated until recently. To paraphrase, sometimes the best way to change a system that is flawed is to work from within. It's

True, if Apple wanted to they could have changed the design. But, if we're going to talk about what Apple could have done with the design, I'm sure that we have many more grievances than the headphone jack. Thicker body for more b

#2 really isn't bogus, at least in the way you described it. In the video, he mentions that he broke the screen two or three times in trying to get everything to fit. Now that everything fits, what happens if he drops it? Could Apple e

oh of course. If I understand correctly, the FDA has already approved them to provide genetic testing for 10 diseases. That is the big sell they are going for. They have plenty of data from the sentimental folks like me to play with.

This article reminds me of all the things people talk about when they try and approach cell signaling from a systems approach. Modeling biological systems as an actual system probably does make sense in the long run. The problem is that it&

That's surprisingly a thoughtful observation that I never would have considered since I don't have that problem. I feel kind of bad for disregarding my carribean girlfriend's results now.

I'm in medical school right now, we talked about metabolic disorders and the role of the hypothalamic nuclei in obesity. Wouldn't be that hard for a medical student who remembers what microglia are to extrapolate from there. I als

> By that I mean certain features will be missing from updated phones because the HAL layer doesn't support it. What features are you referring to? Also, will that be worse than the current situation for Android devices?

I'm in the process of getting two IRBs approved. I am somewhere in the first quarter of that author's story. I agree that it's a big hurdle to get past, and writing a good consent form is hard. All of this being said, though,

I just want an easy way to know where everything in the store is! I spend twice the amount of time I should just trying to find the items I need.

Why? Assume that the value of these altcoins do not change, and see how many you can mine given a certain amount of time. The value of altcoins could very well go down, but for the sake of demonstration you could still calculate a very roug

random question, is there a xelatex compiler that works online? I only really use LaTeX for my CV (though I would like to write papers in it!) so it'd be nice not having to have that huge MacTeX install on my hard drive all the time.

The se, if you're lucky, can even be found for less than $200 USD. Amazing battery and performance, enough that I can forgive the smaller display and 1st generation touch ID.

I'm not involved in any epidemiological studies, simply a medical student :). But that being said, I think a lot of the stigma comes from researchers using biased data, or acting unethically with their data. Good epidemiological studie

In epidemiological studies we refer to these variables as confoundimg variables. There's another term as well that I can't seem to remember. When you try and correlate one specific variable, like coffee, to trends like mortality,

Where did the race baiting comment go? I wanted to respond by asking why we always think it's the race that is driving these statistics. Where's any consideration of an alternative hypothesis, such as poverty and inequality? I don

I live in a much smaller city where my total commute each day is maybe 10 minutes to basically anywhere I need to go. How do you justify the long commutes? Do you pass the time somehow?

Panic is the worst response to have in this situation. You have someone who is reporting this in good faith, who probably has an idea as to why the vulnerability exists. Just come out and be like "I don't know what I'm doing&

The story definitely matters, I agree. But if you're good at making that story up as you read the book, why bother coming to class? I'd also argue that not everything is completely out of date. Only things like cytology or genetic

To be completely honest, as someone in medical school right now you definitely don't "need" the structure and materials that medical school lecturers and courses provide for those first two years. I however needed the structu
