Was this built on some underlying web-based vector graphics editing library, or did they build the whole app from scratch?

On the other hand, biology is so complicated that you have to simplify things down to abstractions that let you communicate and reason about causal stories, and that's what these sorts of figures are good for.

The FDA regulates (or fails to regulate) many different classes of products (drugs, biologics, devices, human cell and tissue products, supplements, food, tobacco and nicotine products, etc). FDA's authority and its effectiveness is extremely variable across these classes.

My sense is that the traditional drug and biologic drug parts still work reasonably well, but the biggest problems lately are coming from devices and from human cell and tissue products (and with products that are being pushed into those categories). A lot of this is due to the ways the laws have been written (due to lobbying and legislative capture), but some of it is undoubtedly a result of regulatory capture and incompetence.

The code for doing the indexing (at least by default) could be built right in to the web server, so it'd just be a matter of enabling an option in Apache or the like.

It would be pretty easy to verify whether or not the index is accurate with a small random sample of pages on the site, and then penalize / exclude (or do a de-novo crawl) for those sites not providing a legit index.

That is a start, but I mean an actual inverted index, and preferably even more structured indices with appropriate metadata. Web servers should also be responsible for archiving themselves and providing a change history.

I've always thought it would make more sense if each web server could be responsible for indexing the material that it serves (and offer notifications of updates), so instead of having to crawl everything yourself, you could just request the index from each domain, and then merge them.

Phew, somebody gets it.

Are they counting the electricity used to heat the pizzas that feed the programmers?

Why didn't they just buy uBeam??

Irony is also a New York thing.

Rather, gut bacteria may affect certain social behaviours in mice.

Though it's probably not a good time to buy a house in Toronto, it's easier to employ much more leverage on a house compared to a piano.

There is an open-source linux client that works reasonably well, at least for retrieving passwords.

Potentially any of the roles mentioned above. We aren't looking to fill specific positions for interns at the moment, but we've had them in the past and are open to discussion.

Feel free to contact me directly (adrian at kallyope) if you have questions.

Kallyope | Data Scientist, Data Science Research Associate | New York, NY | Full-time, ONSITE, Interns | https://www.kallyope.com

Kallyope is a biotechnology company based in New York City, focused on the identification of new therapeutic opportunities involving the gut and gut-brain axis. We seek creative, highly motivated individuals who are interested in working in a biotech environment that is scientifically stimulating, highly collaborative, and laser-focused on translational biology.

We are currently looking to add 1-2 members to our computational team. We analyze ever-expanding datasets in genomics, single-cell biology, and neuroscience to enable rational identification of drug targets. Successful candidates will have a background in computer science, mathematics, engineering, physics, or biology, together with experience engineering software. In addition, candidates must be able to work effectively in a collaborative setting with scientists and engineers.

We're particularly interested in candidates with interest / experience in:

- data visualization

- (biological) graph analysis and graph databases

- human genetics

Like Netezza?

Are you thinking of Kary Mullis?

No one in biology would be able to publish anything.

What exactly can be provided for $0.78 per month?

I've always wanted a version of this for math.

Housing prices have been rising very rapidly over the last couple of years: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-03/million-d...

Your assessment is correct.

I'm curious why you view the jupyter kernel idea to be not implemented well?

There are a couple of recorded webcasts where they mentioned the pricing; it's approximately $2k/seat/year, if I recall correctly. They do make you register for the trial, but they approve it quickly. It's definitely worth checking out.

Quantrix isn't quite mainstream, but is very similar to Improv.

It runs over the cable, so the latency is lower and it ends up working much better.

I have never understood why RSS, in addition to being a document format, doesn't include a specification for a really simple API that supports requesting the full archives for a feed. Every feed could be responsible for providing its own canonical archive. It would be a trivial addition to the implementation of blogging software, and would be immensely useful.

Maybe React Native will lower the barrier and we'll get some of those javascript vector graphics, publishing, video editing, and music composition apps ported to the Mac, so people won't have to suffer from pretty bad apps any longer.

Wasn't Papert talking about this stuff in the 1960s and 70s? It seems a little arrogant to celebrate the 10th anniversary of something published in 2006 without reference to the preceeding 50 years.
