They likely don't know of the prior art. In fairness "one thing per page" isn't a very literature searchable topic and many people have trouble finding good search terms to uncover all the relevant prior art. "Wizar

Very grateful for the open source solution. D3.js itself seems "reusable". Can you maybe explain the benefits of this another way and/or in greater detail? Is the most apparent benefit less lines of code? I'm not familia

just installed it, i'm loving it. Most important to me is that it's FAST. Feels much faster than iOS Safari and iOS Chrome. I tried to like Brendan Eich's Brave browser for about 2 weeks, but I didn't detect any clear ad

Think less literal please. High-end stuff is still junk on an absolute scale. The marketcap and "I want it all"-scale don't make businesses interesting. What's interesting are things that can't be quantified well a

Just my opinion, but Amazon, FB, Apple, and all these companies that these thought leaders like MG Siegler, Stratchery, and Gruber write about aren't interesting. They won at the same game by outcompeting others at selling commodity ju

My exact thought. Good thing I Control + F'd "800" before duplicating your comment. 800 employees is especially insane for a serial entrepreneur like Stuart Butterfield who should know better. Then again, the Twitter guys inc

use of CRISPR in humans is what Harvard/MIT want to protect. According to the judges, UC Berkeley didn't make that clear. Even being a biologist who understands CRISPR well and having trained at Harvard/MIT (disclosure to pro

I appreciate your comments but as the biologist hopefully you can understand that it's not like we are trying to keep our sample sizes small. We understand statistical power. It's simply not feasible logistically and financially t

As a biomedical scientist at a solid US university, I'm getting pretty fed up with all the attacks on my field's credibility. It's similar to education where everyone moans about poor quality. While i cant speak to the averag

It's HN users who are more guilty of the biases in this thread.

IMHO you're missing the point. Sure many of us want to get rich, but probably more of us want to built a profitable, sticky long-term business. The article makes it clear that they didn't succeed as well as they could've in b

Small mindedness sadly doesn't prevent wealth and power accumulation. Depending on your view, YC or Trump both prove this.

by untilHellbanned 10y ago
Upvoted but sadly you can't take YC prodigy and downvote. It's a lose-lose propositon kinda like staying in an airbnb. Say something nice about YC or don't say something at all.

Nope. The chicken and the egg starts where the money starts. If all the candidates' papers are in immediate open access journals (like the Gates Foundation is mandating soon and hopefully NIH will follow), then hiring committees won&#x

by untilHellbanned 10y ago
I specifically referred to NIH as one the funding agencies that needs to take a leadership role for publishing policy. So this comment isn't super relevant to my original comment.
116.
by untilHellbanned 10y ago
Care to elaborate? That doesn't make much sense to me. Scientists can't do their jobs without funding, so what alternatives do they have?
117.
by untilHellbanned 10y ago
Agreed. It needs to start with the funding agencies, NIH, Wellcome Trust, HHMI, etc. Like the Gates Foundation recently did, they need to make it a requirement that you must publish in immediate open-access journals. I'd further like t

Just like the moral failure Sinclair refers to, HNers are pyschologically resistant to the mention of YC in a negative light. Expect an automatic 4 downvotes, just FYI.

Figuring out which is which is easy enough. The real issue is people not over-interpreting the results.

As a middle american, I'm actually serious when I say this could be a way middle america gets on it's feet again. Being a biomedical researcher at a university hospital, the hospital has proliferated with all types of trainees. Wh
