I agree. There's no good reason why a web browser would make its own network layer connection to support non-HTTP sessions. Session layer proxies have forever been how this is done.

I don't really understand if you're chastising me or if you're seriously engaging in discussion. If your sole objection is to the tone and word choice of my response, I'll happily concede the point. You dismissed my perc

Routine metabolic paneling and serology does test for molecules that are uniformly distributed in blood. I can't say it any plainer than that. Of course many possible testing targets are inside cells, but these tests were not claimin

In the clinic the most common testing is metabolic paneling (levels of various salts, urea, glucose, creatine, etc.), serology (for circulating antibodies), or cell counts (which they weren't doing, as far as I know).

No. I multiplied 1 nM by Avogadro's number. Do you have any reason to believe that free IgG is not uniformly distributed at steady-state in circulation? ... Because that's what they're testing for.

No, I'm not wrong. You're talking about testing for cell counts, which is not -- as I understand it -- what this company was approved to do. For molecular and protein components of blood on the nanomolar range, you would not encou

Well you also seem to have skipped what that paper is taking about. For cell counts, yes, the stochasticity claim would be true for microliter scale volumes. For molecular constituents of blood, the claim cannot be true until you drop to th

> blood constituents are not evenly distributed at small volumes You're saying they're running into statistical stochasticity? Are you claiming they were sampling femtoliter volumes? That's the how small you'd have to

You seem to misunderstand h-index. :P It is the highest number h for which at least h articles have >= h citations.

This is likely to be from particle capture, in the same way a control rod works.

Not sure why you're so breathless. Of course you could time a photo by using a long exposure, and you'd get precisely this kind of effect for a moving subject in a very dark room.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. I agree. The article does not say what the HN title says. It's plain as day.

I suspect you have a horse in this race, but it is certainly true that a lot of investors -- both in the currency and in the companies -- are now in too deep, and they know it. That goes for all your alternatives as well.

It's not accurate to say there's no fitness function. There is a fitness function, but it is not a continuous function. (There's no way to have a GA without some notion of fitness.)

I can assure you that many others are toiling away in areas that could not plausibly lead to a TED talk. It's not all show-and-tell prestidigitation, but some areas are heavier in that regard than others -- like machine learning, for

Those folks lack expertise in the domain. Sequences are simply abstract representations of real molecules, and knowledge of sequence means very little without exercising effort and rigor to understand structure and function.
