>>there is no test that you can use in clinic that says "this patient just has a viral infection" I believe there are some labs-on-chip that can detect multiple(even thousands) bacteria and/or viruses. I'm not sure

My guess is 3rd party logistics. If you follow amazon, you see 3pl logistics's share of the company revenue growing. And they ordered a place at 2015 in an important supply chain convention. They will probably be announcing some sort o

It's partly because is amazon is high margin business, so it view almost everything as an opportunity to raise revenue and 9maybe margins) , but apple is a high margin company, and those opportunists are harder to find.

Again i'm missing the problem. If typecheck.static_type evaluates type on an object , typecheck.static_type(foo) returns type 'function'. And our function will return 0 , meaning type == int. if typecheck.static_type does som

Since amazon invests all it's got in expansions and new offerings, It's really hard to talk about how much profit they make. And it's part of their advantage to keep this secret.

Isn't operator type can be defined using 2 parts: 1. What object calls the operator relevant method 2. Looking at the code of the relevant operator call, we'll see something like if type(obj)==str , do X . so depending on the typ

While domain specific languages are important , i believe most abstraction today happens at the library/tool level. Yes, some of them use text files and exact instruction, but are still high level. And with machine learning , we don&#x

The way i understand it, this system offers data to physicians ,it doesn't offer treatment, so it doesn't have to be clinically tested. It is the the responsibility of the hospital and doctors to evaluate and see if it offer any b

Why ? just as an option for extra security ? And if you want to make it extra nice, you could add an automatic/half-automatic back channel through bluetooth. could create interesting design options.

At the $99 price point, price differences matter less , and if Intel can some how offer a more compelling product (maybe by using windows) , it could be interesting.

If we're talking about privacy, even fully securing a single device per person would be highly usefull and should not be dependent on what is the status of other devices.

There are some non-defered reference counting that can offer pretty good performance(within 19% of defered reference counting), while still offering determinism[1]. [1] http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Pramod_Joisha/

But qubes did issue a security advisory , talking about a security bug in VT-d/VT-x hardware that only intel can fix. For someone like schneier who want to avoid the NSA , maybe qubes is not enough.

Example: microcontrollers and embedded systems. Some time ago there was a shift towards c++,but a large percent are returning back to c. That's what i recall from surveys from UBM, the company that runs eetimes.com .

If i'm not mistaken real-time java doesn't use the jit compiler(because it's pretty impossible to guarantee determinism with jit). Is this true? And even with this constraint, java gets similar speed to c++ ?

I believe that they need to link to the security review i linked , not hide it in forums. There was also someone who deanonimized bitmessage. They should link this too in a prominent place. If they solved any of those problems , they should

What i don't see (maybe haven't looked hard enough) are another security review/s. Until bitmessage is thoroughly reviewed by serious people ,and results are displayed in a prominent place, it would be hard to trust.

In theory , bitmessage looks cool. But according to a review: " Although it is very nice that people are working on creating secure and anonymous messaging systems, I am afraid that BitMessage is weak to a variety of attacks. I fear th

Mbed which is similar to arduino but with a commercial friendly licensing, seems to have gotten some adoption as a professional tool.
