This has been going on for decades, it's called GWAS [1] and it has had a few successes but basically hasn't worked as well as everyone hoped it would in the 90s. The reason it doesn't work that well is that the human genome

Why hasn't this issue come-up with print advertisements? Seems like it should've been addressed eons ago...

It's been a ~10 year bull market. 1999-2009 was basically flat.

I think this case blew-up because the Saudi's were caught red-handed. Erdowan realized he could put extreme pressure on the Saudi's because his evidence was so strong. I think you're probably right that this sort of thing h

How could they not-even mention which gene is mutated? I'm a biologist and it was the only piece of info I wanted. The video even asks if you know anyone with this gene mutation, but doesn't say what the mutation is.

Pinker’s “Better Angels of our Nature” is a masterwork on the subject. It’s also a terrific read and will change your view of history and make you happy to be alive in the present! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_B

You are simply wrong on this. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a new drug, prior to approval and marketing. What percent of a companies budget is spend on marketing versus R&D at a given time is kind of irrelevant

I work in drug discovery. You're right that the bench-scientists don't usually get rich. But it's an extraordinarily risky, expensive, and unpredictable business and for every billion dollar drug there's a graveyard of

Good points, but I totally disagree about the suburbs. We live on a quiet cul de sac in a very suburban neighborhood. We’re 20 minutes from mountains, trails, beach, schools, stores, and work. It’s safe and friendly and our kids play with

Unless I'm missing something, this only provides a way to display data from a database. But users cannot write to the database via the Google Sheet, and it thus doesn't solve the problem...

I use tabview [1] for this. I install it on all my servers and use it regularly. Simple command-line spreadsheet-style navigation of tabular data. VisiData looks nice, too, with possibly more-advanced features. [1] https://git

Maybe it wasn't voluntary 25 years ago, but there are plenty of options today and most scientists still send most papers to for-profit publishers. You can argue about the culture and career pressures that influence those decisions, bu

Correct. These stories always make it sound like it's the big bad private journals that are trying to steal all the taxpayer-funded research which should belong to the people. But the scientists are the ones that are (still) sending

I don't understand how governments have the authority to make private companies (journal publishers) give-away their product for free. The fact that much of the research is funded by taxpayers is not relevant -- scientists have volunt

No way. I've missed turnarounds in races multiple times (although this usually results in running farther than intended) and it would NEVER occur to me to just go with it and grab a podium spot. This goes way beyond "a tad disho
