   And I assume they publish in peer-reviewed journals, so there've been a few others with the actual manuscript.

   I assumed it would be a unique 3rd key per user/transaction. It increases the burden of the escrow-holder (by vastly increasing the number of keys to manage), but has the benefit of allowing granular access to data, rather than comprom

   The escrow there would make me very nervous, as it becomes a very juicy target.

   I, for one, would not at all like it to be subject to government shut downs, annual budget cuts to pay for wars, etc.

   Well, big pharma still does R&D, and they will continue to do so if they think they can keep producing drugs cheaper than an acquisition (which they are working toward).

   I started thinking about this a lot while listening to the last season of Serial. At times, there is enough doubt in the case to think that he might have been just a high school boy who's girlfriend was heinously murdered. Then, next t

   I think the more pertinent question is "will the Google Hub become a competitor to the Echo anytime soon?".

   Even if you only have disinterested, non-partisan scientists performing very rigorous studies, the science on this stuff is hard and layperson takeaways are nearly non-existent.

    Can someone who knows something about farms explain how Picktrace is different from FarmLogs? Are they direct competitors?

    This could be a new generation for the Junkyard Wars type of show, and I'm excited at the prospect. On the other hand, poor implementation or chasing a wide audience might lead to a lot more human drama than necessary and less technica

    I think it's much more likely that people will take additional precautions for themselves. Things like multiple email addresses, one-time-use credit card numbers, and VPNs will (very) slowly grow because of this.

    I think OnHub has ZigBee and Bluetooth, which might be very interesting to the maker community and in a couple years to the internet of things.

    I haven't read through the patent, but I heard an interview with them that says they want to use it to launch SSTO spaceplanes. They also are hoping that some company like Boeing will pick up the actual building portion of the task.

    Airbnb could partner with a lock company to allow owners to buy the cheaply. Then the access could be handled in the Airbnb app, and revoked after the person leaves.

    I only mean that there will be at least a couple changes before the 1-year upgrade offer expires.

    Sure, but at $250, I can afford a lot of water before it becomes cost-effective. They look like they're aiming at making a premium shower experience.I'm skeptical that it would take the soap off my body, though.

    They already have a large update coming in the Fall and one next Spring that should bring additional features. Of course, fixes to things that are broken should be happening regularly.

    I assume it signals that they will be investing more heavily in the non-Google portions of their umbrella. It also signals that they are going to keep Google as a very ad-focused company in their banner.

    > If Coke funds 1000 studies ... media will be full of stories That is a problem with the (non-scientific) media and not the scientific process or press.

    That's not how peer-review works in science journals. If Coke publishes the data on their website, they don't need any additional hoops. If it gets published in a scientific journal, the article is sent in to the editor. Then the

    Also, it might not be so easy as just scraping the disclosures. I work at a major pharmaceutical company, and my name is on a paper, along with my affiliation. There are also non-pharma scientists on that paper. The paper contains a line st

    I think the majority of users have no idea that they can avoid those issues by switching phones. Also, it is probably rare enough that it doesn't come up at the end of their 2-year contract (or 5 years of having the same phone, if you&

    If I find myself in the area, can I take a tour of your lab? I work in pharma and this is interesting to me.
