This make me wonder what the functional layers of abstraction IN synthetic biology are. Currently we think of intra-species gene sequence swapping as an applicable layer. But It seems the truly functional bits are when we can biologically encode and express control over organ development. Something like building a spider with X*N body mass to support Y clusters of silk glands.

And imagine how wise he would be now if still alive. Fight Aging.

yeah whats the issue with academia.edu ???

A screaming example of academic signaling, but where the "signal" is only _just_ stronger than the noise.

Karnaugh Maps: While I love vocab as much as any other kid out there. We're not calling them " colored-truth-tables " which is what the fuck it is. You're advocating that one is more rigorous than the other. However the only thing which is actually being conveyed is usage OF A TRUTH TABLE!

Academics gleefully accept this more specific vocabulary as a proxy for context knowledge.

Its a (fucking) shit workaround.

This is written like an academic paper. Shorten it. Seriously. I know it takes more mental processing to simplify things but you're limiting your feedback pool to people who have 30 minutes to read something.

When are you submitting a proposal ? Ping me if you want to talk more about what a project in this space would look like.

The SF density is incredible ! ... But I'm guessing there's some selection bias here ...

> If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Too simplistic of a model.

hey what ever happened to these guys: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3456484

please shoot me a PM! Would love to chat!

Is no one else pointing out that this is part of a SCHOOL PROJECT? Of course they're asking for the moon! This is a sandbox project for her. What should you do? Scalp her back! Why? Because sandbox!

Maybe I'm missing the part where you can just batch job it and read per line with hadoop / python and the csv lib?

Shoot me an email ( details in profile ) as I'd love to poke at something just for the line on my resume.

You're missing the point. Sure suffer in the minutiae of all the implications / implementation. End of story its a single question: Do we want to have this "problem" ? Yes.

To phrase differently: Lets NOT have planes because they might burst into flames once in a while. Do you see the absurdity ?

Sure. But this presumes that one is a lesser evil.

I'd defer to you which is worse: The Void, or someone having mixed emotions for a while.

Cremation: Guaranteeing that your chances of reanimation are as near to zero as possible. Personally I'd go with cryonics, but thats after you move past the coping mechanisms.

reproducibility. consistency. scale. And the ruggedness of the instrument doesn't hurt.

I was asking myself JUST this as I've got a printer lined up :D

I hope they do exactly the opposite. Weve got these behemoths literally pecking at one another over * THE SAME PRODUCT * ... why? They've got massive research expenses... and this is how they invest their money. facepalm

Why isn't this on the front page?? facepalm

I was about to simply repost this sentence as its the HEAVY substantial bit of the post.

What does it mean? Throw engineering problems your CURRENT team has solved in the past at new candidates. I have seen only ONE startup ( even among the nastiest of hard problem seekers ) GET how substantial this is. So many of these companies are too busy to think about smart sourcing, at their own peril.

Test new engineers off past solved problems. End of story.

Its not. Work Git in a simple workflow. Start with adding, amending, rebasing and stashing. Additionally incorporate it into your workflow.

^ coping mechanisms. Learn some biology and stop aging.

The report makes it sound like Milner is out of investing in YC? Or just the seed stage?

Allow me to assure you that saying " I just program websites " is selling yourself short.

At the VERY least I urge you to design novel experiments and post them publicly.

shoot us a link to the feature / bug tracking!

really cool thrust bearing!?
