It means cheap items (like small plastic items etc), where the cost of manufacture is very low, even if they can be manufactured at the same cost in the US can not beat the Chinese seller because they can't compete on price. A small do

I'd need to see a citation of that really, or some ballpark estimates, to give it any credence. I wouldn't necessarily expect local-to-local shipping always to be cheaper. But I'd expect there to be at least one option where

I'd agree intermediaries aren't really adding anything of value. The problem is however, even in cases when you can produce something as cheaply in the US as in China, a Chinese seller can still beat you on price because they pay

Would the logic not be that the money will be spent on more useful things for students?

It would be interesting to diff the files. Quite a few journals put obvious tracking tags on the downloaded PDFs.

There are a few recorded examples of this. Peter Watts had quite a good blog post on them a while back: http://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=6116 About 50% of the examples have above average IQ (he says).

It's unfortunate that you're being downvoted. Not because I agree with you, I don't in the least. However, understanding the mindset of startup CEOs is interesting. Particularly the mindset of the minority of CEOs who are abl

I can see this in many of the top economies, but is this true is all cases? China for example, seems to be doing well, but I can't really see that it's becoming less authoritarian.

Interesting, thanks. Has anyone suggested a theory as to why this might be happening?

It's possible. Or perhaps Corybn will be pushed out and the Labour party will take a more authoritarian stance again. And even if Labour get in, they still voted the IP Bill in. So they are pro-surveillance. So overall, I can't be

Hmm no. That's what's happening in your world, but you're imposing that world view on me. Probably about 80% of the code I write doesn't even get looked at or used by another developer. If the technique/analysis pro

Shitty solutions are usually the right answer. At least in the areas I work in (mostly startups). I would estimate 99% of the code I write gets thrown away. Most of it is trying something out. Even for code that was intended to hit producti

NHS Digital has a budget of 250M GBP a year. I don't think that's even the full budget however. Looks like the full budget might be closer to 1B GBP: http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/your-practice/practice-topics&#

The link to the kindle book is somewhat buried in the article: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07143FXZ5 Looks wonderful, unfortunately not available in my country.

Because when they're doing well, the benefits (to them) out-way the costs. It was only really obvious to me what the benefits were after I visited Palo Alto. For Stanford spinouts, you can literally go visit 10 VCs within a 20min walk.

It's also possible that HIV could stick introns into the sequence too to avoid CRISPR...

I did a quick literature search, but couldn't find anything. It should be easy to answer that question. There appears to be at least one conserved protein. However there's a lot of scope for different underlying sequences due to s

I think ∼3E−5 per base per replication. Might be a more useful number [1]. If you use 10mers, that only gives you 1048576. I'd be almost certain that >90% of those sequences also exist in the human genome. So your target isn't

Those people existed before the Internet was widely available. They just shared information via books, leaflets etc. Arguably I'd say the Internet makes it less sustainable as they can't help but be exposed to contradictory belief

There are a number of issues. 1. Don't be too surprised if the investors don't care. Because a) as long as they put a decent play together who cares? and b) what are they going to do? sue them? that will make the investor look bad

Glassdoor reviews appear to be routinely faked. At least in my experience. Once company I follow on glassdoor, after having an average rating of 2 for years has been getting a new 5 star review once a week for the last 2 months. This seems

That's neat, but it feels like it would work better with a trusted central authority. I guess there are a few reasons: 1. The central authority takes pressure of the manufacture to build a verification system. 2. They could provide a s

Ubiuiti products seem really nice. However I've heard many bad things about their management culture. I really don't get how you can get fake product into you own fulfillment chain. But I guess if you sign off on fake invoices tha

I would say a peel off tab covering the code might work so you know it's been tampered with. A few thing could be used to prevent copying. Users could be allowed to register a name on the verification page. If you try and register a pr

Counterfeit products seem to becoming a near universal problem. It's not just amazon, but other marketplaces (eBay, taobao etc). Even seems like major electronic component suppliers fall foul of this sometimes (digikey). I can really o
