I'll bet Dr. Reddy is already on the case if you don't mind the occasional moldy smell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Reddy%27s_Laboratories With up to 10M cases in the US alone, it seems like an excellent

In the long run, the problem takes care of itself when the patent expires in 2019 in the US and 2022 in Europe. http://www.fiercepharma.com/special-reports/avastin Until then it's off-label usage. When the time c

Absolutely, an ex-girlfriend knocked some sense into me in my early 20s and I've been in great shape ever since. There's probably a fantastic company in doing exactly what you propose and I'd love to be a part of it. But a l

"Why don't we teach effective exercise, sports, and fitness in schools?" We do. It's called gym. Um no, and that's part of the problem. In my experience, gym class was a Hunger Games like spectacle for the athletic

It does seem the more rational response would be to rate-limit him (and by him I mean everyone) down to once every 30 seconds or so rather than panic and ban him forever. I once wrote a script to analyze queries of one of the major search

I would submit that most of the social media startups consist primarily of the manifestly untalented. The cream of that crop graduates to writing buggy and crashy IOS and Android apps. The very elite (ya know the ones that passed calculus a

Downside: it's a Motley Fool article. Tomorrow they'll likely say exactly the opposite and explain in gory detail exactly why IOS is poised to finally crush Android. I've long since abandoned them. Upside: They have a point

You can do extreme performance coding for Java, Javascript, R, Python, Haskell or the language of your choice as long as the number-crunching is done by calling low-level heavily optimized code. For example, PyCUDA: http://mathe

100% agree except that I think courses like this are great for people who want to bluff their way through a job interview to get one of those $150K-$250K big data jobs that are the rage right now (watching Andrew Ng's machine learning

With that sort of distribution, there have to be at least 7 people on a given team to have a >50% of a single bottom 10% outlier (0.9^6 = 0.53). Bell curves only work well with large sample sizes.

Even more curious is that if Peter Kollman (referenced below) hadn't died of cancer, he would likely have shared this year's Nobel Prize for molecular dynamics: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v233&#

I'd guess it'd hit about ~75% of a GTX 680 at this task.

IMO the minute you are hired as an at-will employee that can be terminated at any time, with or without cause, you have been granted carte blanche to do the same to your employer. That said, staying for ~2 years and jumping when you can get

From the age of 18 onward, I selected on a quirky combination of intelligence plus subjective cuteness. I did not consider financial stability but I wouldn't have been emasculated by it either. I was by no means an alpha, but I was a

Here's what really puzzles me. John Carmack was a legend by the time of the Mitzi incident. Instead of dumping the poor creature at the animal shelter like he did, he could have auctioned off "John Carmack's frickin' c

As much as I admire John Carmack's bootstrapped success (and on this axis the guy is just awesome), given how he handled the poor health of his cat, I don't think I'd ever work with or for him. It just doesn't sit right

So you're claiming me that IOS7 wasn't tested on pre-production 5S phones before the release of both of them? That Apple didn't catch such flaming obvious usability issues blows my mind, but whatever floats your boat. They s

I'm not asking you to doubt Apple. All I'm giving is an opinion based on my own recent data, a small amount of which is privy to me (and for purposes of tact will remain so). If it's just me, then I'm an anomaly and I s

Wow, they've appropriated yet another standout feature of Android phones, especially my craptastic Galaxy Nexus (unfortunately still under contract). I was going to dump it for a 5S in the near future, but between this, the HW sensor

It seems like this is the Delaware Corporation of the 21st century. And I see a YC startup to help the little guy evade taxes completely legally in the making. Call it Double Dutch Chocolate (dot com).

Rather than argue back and forth about which regex implementation is better here, I'd simply note the absence of multicore numbers for V8 and that the crappy Tcl library beats single-threaded Javascript when run multicore. It would be

To be fair, the Pande Lab's data has involved a degree of human intervention during the generation of the multi-state trajectories upon which they're based. And that's a failing that has only recently been addressed. IMO it
