True, antibiotics are not useful for treating flu, but they do clear up related infections - crucial for the frail or elderly.

The average click-through rate for Facebook ads was 0.063% in 2009 and 0.051% in 2010. Click-through rates used to be about 3% in the 90s, but have been declining since. Current industry standard is 0.1%. I heard that facebook is good for awareness, just to let low- or no-paying people know you exist, but click-through rates are pitiful, indeed.

Babies can generalize from small samples and recognize statistical patterns. Perhaps we learn to generalize before learning to specialize?

I like this visualization of America's richest people that shows some patterns:

It shows that all those with a net worth over 5.5 bln got graduate degrees or went to prestigious schools, or both

Mental resource depletion is another factor. Those who had their attention manipulated were more prone to buy and pay higher prices: http://econpapers.repec.org/article/ucpjconrs/v_3a33_3ay_3a2...

Tesla was digging ditches for influential ex-Wall-streeters after quitting the Edison company. During lunches he would tell about his ideas - this helped him to get financing a few years later. Just an example

Yes, it is. Most employers in California have probationary periods for new employees.

People can communicate by smell too - willy-nilly. Most often it's bacteria on human skin that detects changes - such as stress hormones - and respond in their own ways. Some people can smell stress in other people.

At first thought, I too would think it was written by a machine, not a person... Frankly, I am not impressed with google's abilities to recognize spam. After all, sufficiently advanced spam is indistinguishable from content. And humans are slowly becoming machines.

I always hit "Report Spam", works for everything except me@s i have no problems with my personal domain, but if e-mails are addressed to my gmail account in me@ list that fails.

VCs are already investing more of their capital off-shore, this bill would further discourage them from investing in US startups.

This book has even better reviews: http://books.google.com/books?id=VmCQ28GWqE0C Mathematical Biology: Spatial models and biomedical applications By James Dickson Murray. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Biology-Introduction-Inte...

Mathematical approaches differ greatly depending on the area of biology. I could recommend a good review if I knew your favorite area.

Yes, it is. Examples of how people sign their publications after retirement: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20440016 also http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10700398

or, if you do not want to mention retired or former, nor start your own company, just provide your home address and indicate your preferred/non-preferred reviewers

In case anyone's interested - it was the me@ filter. I noticed a batch of spammers/scammers whose bulk messages were addressed to me@variousdomains.com Unfortunately google was not able to recognize it as spam and all this garbage was showing up in my Inbox. I added a filter and several days later (not right away!), google started to delete ALL messages individually sent to my e-mail addresses. I removed the filter, will have to keep manually deleting the spammers from my inbox. I think this is a gmail bug.

I am able to do this with Linkedin - my connections are tagged into priority groups. Selected Meetup, Yelp, Facebook and e-mailed events go to my public calendar: http://sites.google.com/site/aurametrix/events (It can be easily done with Google Calendar API) Of course, this could just mean that I am not in your target market.

Better to memorize 3-4 master passwords. I heard about KeePass password management utility but never used it.

A new authentication device will be available later this year - based on Hitachi's Finger Vein imaging (VeinID) and fingerprint identification technology.

What I meant is that I would prefer to see where exactly my keyword surfaced in the course - in what lecture or assignment vs lists of all courses mentioning the keywords.

One of the panelists, Waldemar Kornewald, summarized this Panel at http://djangodose.com/podcasts/callcast/episode/11/ We may get official non-relational DB support in Django 1.3!

Indexing lectures instead of courses is more useful.

Why don't you start a meetup group like this one? http://www.meetup.com/Co-Founders-Wanted-Meetup/ Briefings from the meetings: http://aurametrix.blogspot.com/2010/03/bay-area-startups-loo... http://aurametrix.blogspot.com/2009/11/bay-area-startups-loo...

If you want to build something similar to what already exists, you will be able to do it by yourself. If you want to create something like e-Harmony - matching people based on demographic, educational, job history, psychological and behavioral characteristics and their encounters, feeding gigabytes of data into sophisticated models on a daily basis, think about measurable expectations before proceeding.

Creativity and mental disorders may stem from a similar genetic predisposition. For example, it may help if one can see the world in two ways (bipolar disorder). Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton may have had Asperger syndrome too, although they could be just isolative and difficult. John Forbes Nash, a founder of game theory, who won 1994 Nobel Prize in economics had a history of Schizophrenia
