The Lancet article says that one patient died of complications with the transplant procedure, and this was Phase 2. I'm in pharma, not stem cells, but if a patient died due to treatment, the project would be killed. Perhaps the transpl

Only so many people are single and looking, and of them, only so many want what the app offers to single people. Even if the second number is 100% of the first, it's limited.

Is it not that way in other sciences? It's funny that I just assumed all sciences did the same thing. In fact, my wife works in a museum, and I was stunned to find out that they write grants for work that isn't even started yet.

I've never been to any part of the UK, and I'd gladly pay BBC similar to Netflix or Hulu rates for access without a VPN. I just like following British shows, and it's very difficult and expensive to get them through other cha

All valid points, but I think the products now are laying groundwork for the future. I really believe that at some point, the home will have more safety features and convenience because of IoT. I'm actually surprised that Nest failed t

Interesting parallel study I saw recently: Autoimmune disease rodent models don't translate well to the clinic, so an academic group tried to look for reasons. They found that normal, healthy humans have far more memory B cells than la

I was bitten by a similar problem one of the very first versions of the FB app, and I haven't tried it again. It synced my Google Contacts (what I use as my canonical contacts list) with Facebook, resulting in duplicates and a whole bu

I live in the Midwest, and I am likely to inherit my first home. Housing is cheap relative to the coasts, but pay is lower, and student loans aren't based on my wages.

Emojipedia doesn't say anything about alternative meanings for the peach or eggplant emojis. I need something for more cultural meanings, too.

These are certainly things that need to be balanced, but we already have a system for dealing with sensitive records. I think the ideal system goes like this: recording always on (keep working on battery issues), and anyone can request any

There are well-considered standards for patient anonymity. Saying "I had a patient with X disease" is not compromising the identity of the patient. Without that, doctors couldn't teach medicine to med students or explain thei

I work in a pharma company and it comes up every time a marketing person comes to a science meeting in a particular department. The short version is that it's very very hard, even if we can profile all of the changes during exercise (

I agree, but all of this hubbub is about the Trending News section. Nobody seems to be saying that Facebook put their finger on the scales of what shows up in news feeds after being shared by friends. I suspect that when people say "60

If I remember correctly, this charity already does monetary donations to people using the local mobile pay system (I think it's Mpesa?). If this is that organization, there is a Planet Money episode about the founders and why they went

I think it's to simplify as much as possible for clients. If a dev wants to use the API, it is in the interest of the API maintainer to make it easy, including pitting all the useful info in a single place. I was just watching an old

Sure, but to live in the car long enough for water to not be the limiting factor, it'd take a couple cases I'd think.

I also haven't thought of a case in which it matters to protect the interior of the car. I can't live in that car for more than a couple days without resupply (assuming I'm driving around with several cases of water which wou

Just so I understand, I pull the file and make a checksum, then hardcode it into the link to the resource in my own code? Then, when the client pulls my code, follows the link, checks the checksum against the one I included in the link.

I'd reckon that part of this is related to how "easy" it is to get a drug approved for certain-death cancers. The barrier for a drug's approval is lower if the alternative is a certainty of painful death. This is sort of

Not that it's any more legal or ethical, but there's a large difference in perception between stealing content from large companies (media companies) to rehost on a free platform and stealing from starving artists and claiming it

If my friends and colleagues are any indication (late-20s, midwest), the problem is not that we don't like non-profits or the work they do, it's that we don't have enough money to freely give. My wife works in an art museum
