That's fair, they didn't prove an "arsenic backbone," but here's a couple of key lines... "...the purified DNA extracted from +As/-P cells contained As. Our NanoSIMS analyses, combined with the evidence for intracellular arsenic by ICP-MS

Point taken. But I can't help but be reminded of this: http://xkcd.com/373/ Anyone who feels tricked that there were no aliens found doesn't have their head on straight :) By your rationale, would anything be called Astrobiology?

by jpwagner 16y ago
I couldn't disagree more. Astrobiology researchers made this finding. If you think it's not astrobiology take it up with NASA.

I think this finding deserves a bit more respect. Of course it does not answer ALL of our questions, but it proves DNA does not need phosphorus! AMAZING!

How short-sighted. If they were removed because someone wrote a bad check would that be acceptable to you as well. The devices are an invasion of privacy and that should be confronted head-on, otherwise, there will just be the next invasiv

The debate should be about the ethics of privacy and HOW it is being violated, not WHY. Suppose it was proven to help national security, suppose it was scientifically proven safe, would its use be palatable? There is a question over what pr

The issue is one of privacy. These corruption accusations detract from the heart of the matter. Would it be a "win" if the scanners were all removed because of corruption? No, the point is the acknowledgement of the rights of the individu

This is a great point. After a few minutes of thought, the biggest benefactor of natural language coding would be what I'd call late-bloomers: people who always thought like coders, but never actually did programming.

Interesting read. I think one of the biggest challenges is identifying you're in a slump in the first place. My tactic is to always maintain a list of things that I wish I did more of, and as soon as I figure out I'm in a slump, I pick some

anyone with 130k hands would've caught that :) but seriously, he means if the board is like: 2c 3c 7c Tc 4h, (not that he'd get much value from the guy with the lone Jc, though) think of how easy squeezing is with two colluding bots.

that'd be a fine critique if this article had a hint of schtick!

if you dislike it, flag the article. i for one found it interesting that he shifted from thinking the product was the part worth selling to thinking the process was the part worth selling. this could be something many HN'ers could benefit

is it still worth the effort to try things that you don't actually want? seems to me that not only will you not feel the pain of rejection, you also won't be able to reap the benefit when there's an unexpected yes.
