I've heard the economics of developing new antibiotics making it difficult being mentioned a number of times but this is the first time I've seen an article explaining the economic difficulties so clearly. I do like the sound of

I also need closer to around 9 hours of sleep. I am also a relatively light sleeper for a part of the evening, so I need things like ear plugs, total darkness etc. and I guess part of why I need more sleep is because for part of the night

I guess having a good stock of malt vinegar and plenty of jars around would be helpful so you can make a lot of pickled fish.

I actually do like the fact that it uses an existing Pi Zero board, even if much creativity is needed to add so much functionality to it in a small space. It reminds me of gopro cameras being taken apart and custom modules added to make it

I was surprised to discover by accident that many of these also work on an iPad with the smart keyboard.

I'm also an index fund skeptic mainly because it's now such a convention that taxi drivers and shoeshine boys will tell you that's where you should put your money. People used to say the same things about investing in real e

If I remember right is the reason is that it’s illegal do use amateur radio bands on something that is flying, so that excludes APRS. However, using the ISM bands are fine so that’s what people in the UK tend to use, but it means no APRS a

A slope and a crane scale could have been relatively cheap and I'm guessing estimating the friction would be more accurate than making assumptions about the tire wall strength.

I think the main problem with great ideas like this is that some clients will do a really bad job at implementing the spec correctly and one of those clients will be the default browser on a very popular OS or device.

This type of texture aversion is not uncommon with people who have sensory processing or autism spectrum disorder and there's a lot of people who don't fall within those groups but have some of those traits in the same way. Avers

I think when the economy is hit hard a lot of companies are going to have to look at what they can do to make sure they remain profitable since investor appetite has changed. This means some companies will have to look at what is being spe

I also lived through the dotcom boom and bust and even remember the recession that impacted hardware vendors in the 90s. What we might see now is certainly more like dotcom than 2008. Dotcom was a time that a lot of investment chased a lot

You're telling me that a bigger instance size in AWS isn't always the solution?

I suppose that's good news then for potential emergency use of unapproved makeshift alternatives to ventilators, I guess it also makes hand ventilation viable if you have enough volunteers available to do the bagging.

Monoclonal antibodies are difficult to produce at scale, that's why existing therapies with these are so expensive.

The issue is that with the kind of ventilation required you need to sedate the patient with gasses and you need to recycle those gasses and unused oxygen. With the length of time patients have to be on this you don't want to lose thos

I've always believed that as cloud stacks mature and get commoditised various VPS providers will provide a decent alternative to being locked into the AWS or Azure ecosystem. I think the main drivers for people actually migrating will

This might go a long way towards explaining why company management in Europe often have some kind of mysterious love for vendor supplied software and doesn't see any in-house development as a competitive advantage or worth spending on

I did a stint at GSK about 13 years ago. The large scale mechanised experiments also produced big databases of compounds and their properties and mechanisms to make these accessible to researchers and build bigger clusters of systems to ru

It's refreshing to see an article actually pointing biofuels policy being the dominant driver of palm oil related deforestation. If I remember right another problem is that India was expected to become a big palm oil producer where th

Having worked for many multinationals, I've also noticed such a difference. If it's a US company it would often have a group of in house developed systems that are integrated with each other to some degree, and a team that mainta

That's not a problem since you're just going to quickly be rewriting it all using this new language, framework, development methodology, deployment mechanism and infrastructure technology that solves all the old problems so surely

I'm getting a bit of a dot-com feeling around these compensation figures, especially seeing the sign up bonuses and how tangible stocks are considered as normal compensation now. The FAANGs remind me a bit of Microsoft, Cisco and Inte

Try running something like EasyRes on your Mac, you can then switch to the actual resolution of the monitor. It’s somewhat insane how much stuff fits into the screen of my 13” MacBook.

Information doesn't have to flow through managers specifically and it certainly doesn't have to flow up the management chain and down again, but there ideally should be preferred funnels for the communication and breaking out of i

I think at high latitudes the problem is not the total amount of natural light, but the number of hours it shines in a day. Also, other power sources like wind or hydro could be abundant in areas like this. I don't think these techno
