Has anyone ever taken action against a university for patent infringement? Seems very unlikely.

I've worked almost exclusively with university spinouts. I would say in almost all cases the foundational approach/IP has not been taken forward. New IP was developed, which was more suitable for building a commercial product. I&#

NGS (Illumina style) is high enough quality to identify mutations. You can get a whole human genome for as little as 150 Euros (Dante labs has an offer at this price in 2020). Much cheaper per genome than suggested in the post, and you just

I used to work in the office next to James'. Don't know how he feels about it, but this seemed pretty unfair to be honest. It's an experimental codebase released by an academic institute. I think he originally wrote it for on

I didn't understand this comment in the article. Demo day comes after being accepted to YC... Do YC ban companies from demo day? I thought everybody presented. I can't see any reference to them having raised any money at demo day

I have some sympathy for the difficulty evaluating tech plays when "an RSS search engine" turns into twitter. These ideas are the starting point, but it's difficult to tell what they might turn into. Quite possibly they evalu

The statements regarding YC in the article don't make a whole lot of sense to me. Firstly: > Y Combinator has a rigorous vetting process topped off by an exclusive demo day with "selected investors." I don't think any

I’m a bit confused by the name, what’s the Japan connection? The developer seems to be called Masamichi Souzou (正道想像) but doesn’t seem to have any connection to Japan? Is there something I’ve missed? Just seems odd to me.

The article is interesting, but the title is click bait: “So where does that leave us in our central question of which language is the hardest to understand from visual cues? “The short answer is, we don’t know,” says Masapollo.”

It’s not clear to me that the LEDs are not selected based on their emission frequency/photodiodes don’t have a filter. That could allow a more sensitive measurement than possible with the human eye.

CCD cameras or counting bit errors doesn’t really have great sensitivity for radiation detection. This is why they are generally not used to monitoring projects and people stick with Geiger tubes. This is my understand anyway (having worked

There are other detectors you could use. You can use a simple photodiode too. But generally they don’t have the same sensitivity. Generally the sensitivity is too low for most radiation monitoring applications as I understand it. Steganogra

I can’t quite figure out how a Geiger counter would make sense. Typical Geiger tubes (and high voltage generator) would be too big to fit in an iPod. But why would they need such tight integration with the iPod itself? The data isn’t big (e

I don’t think that makes much of a difference to the part selection (it’s the same board). If you look at the schematics they say you can use either through hole or SMD. SMD is preferred: https://github.com/ozel/DIY_par

Sorry, typo. I meant SPR (surface plasmon resonance). I’ve worked at a number of NGS platform companies developing new sequencing approaches. The problem is that sequencing is still expensive at the per-run level. It’s possible to be cost c

Right, I think we’ve probably missed boat on developing new diagnostic methods for Sars-CoV2. In particular, this method appears to be antibody based? (Which has accuracy issues) and uses SPR, which may involve some technical risk. However,
