What if the powers that be decide to "classify" the results/reports? I would guess that would be a big legal hurdle. But if things get to that point, a copy the report would probably show up on wikileaks... I guess?

And everyone needs to ask how many deserving scientists are being mistreated in a similar manner by being labeled as bogeymen with du jour -isms of our time.

What about drug resistance? Any data available/planned in that regard? Curious about it, because I work on this stuff from a structural perspective as my profession.

It may be self-regulating in a way. Could you imagine getting the munchies in a starving, dictatorial, failed nation-state. Already nothing to eat and now a drug that makes you crave food even more. No, thanks!

Classic example highlighting the difference between Research/Discovery vs Development. Kickstarter and their crowd-funding ilk are fine when it comes to Developing a product but good luck getting funding for anything as iffy as R&amp

Funny, that this idea is so foreign to ML. As a macromolecular crystallographer, R free [0] is something drilled into every student's brain from day one! TL;DR: Randomly, a certain percent (5-10%) of data is 'hidden' and nev

Pardon my cynicism but your second statement makes you sound like a shill for those same people. Making such terrible actions sound like well-intentioned 'overstepping' only excuses such horrendously insidious activity (which is d

Awesome app! But I am going to echo same concern as tomahertus and so many others on this page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6858853 """ I was quite disappointed when I read here, that you're act

Register a LLC in the US, which is not expensive at all, this should get you on the road to sending DMCA takedowns to at least the US sites hosting your content. Here on HN, search for the user named grellas, who is a lawyer and may be able

What about OSX? Does DirectX work (at all/well) on it? Linux? How feasible is it to program with DirectX on any non-MS platform? Edit: I guess the point I'm making is, OpenGL runs on non-MS as well as MS platforms (perfectly/

Oh my! Please tell me the entire magazine was actually made of Cross-Stitched pages!!! I would so like a copy. Frame a few of the good ones, use the rest as table-mats and coasters :)

Clearly, you are being sarcastic! If not, I am amazed by your naïveté.

This was a DESIGNED polymer, made explicitely through chemistry to attack a particular animicule. So are HIV protease inhibitors. Go read the facts on those, at CDC, FDA and elsewhere. Modern drugs are designed , just like this polymer.

So what? Make a new polymer. ORLY? Sorry to sound condescending but your glib comment shows an utter lack of awareness about discovering or designing novel drugs. It is never as simple as changing a line of code to get a new molecule that

This is an excellent point! I hope everyone who cares about this issue is doing their part and voting with their dollars. Yes, donate to EFF, write to your congresscritter/senator, but also reward the business that invests money in cau

Not surprised with the police response. In India, that kind of apathy is routine and 'expected' of each and every governmental organization. Surprising would have been hard-hitting investigations and solved cases.

Ansible has so far been the best software I have ever used for system administration. Love it! After the nightmare (for me) that was chef/puppet, Ansible is heaven!!

You are thinking of splicing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_splicing And, you are right. DNA => mRNA ≠ Protein, in a direct manner because of it.

Wait, what? Academia is a pretty broad brush stroke, if you know anything about being an academic, and you appear to be making that brush broader still. Care to elaborate?

What democracy ? In letter or spirit or both or neither? Politicians are borne of the people who let them come to power, stay in power and get away with mostly acting in their (politician's) best interest. Over time, power concentrate
