I don't think this is strictly true. I believe rich and poor use Google search. Perhaps iOS and Android have different markets, but this acquisition will bring former iOS guys into the Google realm.

I think you are correct. I'm pretty sure that people prefer each at different times.

I'm not so sure, at least on the beer front. I grew up in St. Louis, home of Budweiser. Everything in the city is named after one of the members or former members of the city, and just about every event in the city is sponsored by An

No, but I would also take a whitehat explaining a problem very seriously.

Not on Android. As far as I can tell, I never provided my number to Snapchat, aside from installing the app.

The article mentions that the result was a cocaine possession charge from when the patient was younger. I know I'm pretty terrible at matching child photos with their adult counterparts.

I'm not sure most of those types of things would show up in a cursory search.

It seems like they're ok with the poaching risk. I would assume most of their employees are happy enough, or they'd leave. I'm not sure having the salary posted is a big change from that perspective.

Mice in a particular experiment tend to be housed in the same room or same rack, with enough circulation in the room to hopefully assure a homogeneous temperature in the room. Therefore, the control animals were likely right next to treatm

I envision a future when we can grab a handful of organs on a chip, then decide on what kind of experiment we want to run. Want to see if something affects the cells in bone marrow? Bone chip. Want to understand if a drug is cleared exclus

I agree, but I can't wait until organs on a chip are cheaper than rats!

This is a very good point. It is important for non-researchers to know that when you want to do a mouse (or rat, dog, or non-human primate) study, you have to decide what particular strain of mouse to buy. There are MANY options from Harl

I wonder if your results are unique enough to be identifying. Also, there are legal protections (in the US) for health insurance, but not for life insurance.

Are the BRCA genetics well enough understood that a deep sequence of that gene is able to be adequately interpreted? Ultimately, what you seem to be suggesting is that it is better that we not get partial data because most people won't

I'd like to add that 23andMe also wants to be a resource for finding patients for studies. They boast being able to find a large number of people with a certain condition in a short amount of time (a real benefit in human studies) bec

I'd like to announce here to HN before the rest of the world my new service: the Twitter of personal genomes. It will publish all the data to the web. No expectation of privacy? No problem! I will call it genr.

I don't yet have one. Is there not a way to download your information? They should certainly allow some sort of export.

If they continue to not process the health information, I bet they will offer some sort of plan to mitigate the horrible PR from the nightmare that would ensue if they don't. I heard a seminar from one of the VPs and she made it seem

I think it's interesting that they are still selling the kits at the $99 price point. They also haven't removed the health tab from their site. I'm guessing what they are doing is buying themselves time to prepare and discu

It may be impossible to keep up with much of the negative research, but it would save you time if you could look for very specific results. It might be that you would only keep up on the negative data for a very narrow pathway or from a sm

Well both, but I suspect that just as the need to be published in high impact journals is growing for PhDs and Post-docs, the need to be published with new discoveries is also growing. I think in biology (and particularly in pharma), compe

I was very surprised by the response from the institution. I wonder what the backlash will be with regard to those grants (NIH and AHA). Should this invalidate those grants?

by jonlucc 13y ago
I think not. They awarded him a degree based on data he presented to them. They found out it was falsified, and in my opinion, that should invalidate the degree they awarded (and probably his grants).

I also doubt that a headline publication in that journal would do much for a future career in the field.

I agree completely, and there is also a profit motive. PhD candidates typically make paltry pay, but have often racked up a good amount of debt that was delayed during their PhD work. In order to get a job that can actually make those yea

This is a good question. I think most cities have one lab. They probably have multiple analysts in the lab, but I think it's still a pretty high percentage of the total cases.

Oh! I saw a course titled "Make the most of your 20s" at the top of the main page, and thought it was a slogan.

I'm no expert, and I only was able to browse for a couple minutes, but here's my 2 cents. If I understand correctly, you'd like to charge money for courses about how to start a business, or do other things that people in thei

I thought it was standard at startups to offer company stock in exchange for small salaries for the first set of employees. If so, those employees with stock have at least some upside for the risk.
