No but seriously, it was one of the best periods of my life. A lot of creativity, freedom and long nights working on things that are far away from the corporate world.

A better question for the FAQ would be: Are you pro-democracy, or pro-autocracy?

Or technocracy?

Great project!

Trying to find something good to watch on Netflix, my weekend project consisted out of extracting all movies on Netflix and sorting them by IMDB score. Here is the result:

...and imdb

Qwant also shows no results.

Very sad. I hope there will be light despite the prognosis.

Why is regular chemotherapy not tried? Immunotherapy is very specific, it might not work.

the real estate market in London goes lower due to less foreign professionals competing for housing

Which is a bad thing?

Does not work for me too. I'm in Europe.

I learned it a little bit when working on my scientific analysis tool for single cell RNA-seq analysis. It takes time to learn, but there are many examples out there.

Most of these will be defunct a few years from now, they run on VC money. Becoming profitable in biotech is much harder than IT.

A completely bizarre project. Not very far from ”TempleOS”. Urbit is the outcome when spending too much time alone.

A paper containing only things we already knew for sure is not a real scientific paper at all.

It could be. Confirming results is part of the scientific process.

I switched from a MBP 2017 model with touch bar to a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (6 gen). I installed Ubuntu Linux and I'm happy. I do all my work on this laptop. But I've spent quite a lot of time getting the hardware to play nicely, upgrading bios + a lot of Linux config tweaking.

This bacteria is part of our normal microbiota. The immune system suppress them to not wreak havoc.

Terrifying. Could it be that stress caused the Streptococcus pyogenes infection? It would be the most sensible explanation. I imagine being a CEO of a startup is a very stressful role, causing suppression of the immune system and thereby S pyogenes had a chance to proliferate. I have no idea, just speculation.

It's much more likely that this is just because of bugs in the code than aliens. I imagine these systems consist of millions of lines of code, sooner or later there will be a bug like this.

IMHO, Newsweek has really lowered their journalistic standards.

Oh, come on. If you're a developer you can have a "work from home" day in the US as well. Plus, you can earn far more and you pay less in taxes.

What about the ones that are not developers?

not hard. most of those things can be googled in seconds and copy pasted into .vimrc

I would say vim is easier to configure than, for example emacs

... as well as a british biologist.

Remove the touch bar and reintroduce the magnetic power connector - it was such a great thing. And then please make the arrow up and down keys larger - I find myself hitting the wrong key several times every day.

I just upgraded. Is there any way to turn off the new Iterm2-specific MacBook touch-bar buttons?

If your tools don't generate useful insights, then you are not using them right. A properly designed study, employing high-dimensional genomics data, can for sure generate mechanistic insights, not just correlations. It's all about your study design.

Get us anywhere? That is research, small pieces to the larger puzzle. Biology is complex, a lot of molecules doing different things. We don't have perfect tools to study those molecules or their interactions. Genomics and statistics offer one path to their study, and they complement already existing methods.

Researchers in genomics are aware of this and that is why researchers are expected to correct their p-values for multiple testing, for example using q-values.

What they mean is that it's being generous compared with the US.

Isn't the risk that these companies will just let Indian's do the work in India instead of bringing them to the US? Won't the US loose tax money with such a setup?

In his early life he was a neglectful student, an underachiever. He was a late bloomer.

Rust might be a great language, but it has not completed the test of time yet. C is 45 years old. Rust appeared 7 years ago.

What happens if you simply ignore filing US taxes? Do you get arrested if you return, even if it's just for visiting?
