Yes you're the exception.

Somehow we arent really adept at interviewing at what the day-to-day requirements of a position.

Instead were much more interested in edge-case stuff like bubble sort.

I wonder if this is some assessment of "are they capable of substantially more complex tasks, and if so, safe to assume they're capable of less-complex minutiae.

Seems about right, as often these evaluation type things are proxies.

Generic HR inbox?

I don't think you're actually concerned about this.

Remember:

At this point in our technological competency, all easy advancements are gone.

Oh wait.

Social Justice nonsense.

Look at the systems which reward X behavior in Y sex.

Assuming that access to partners is a primary behavioral motivator ( it is, it just is ). Then what rewards exist for women undertaking novel enterprises?

Very little. Or substantially less compared to males.

The systems running internal to humans don't preference the sex-barganing position of a woman when shes got money / power which comes with starting companies.

More simply:

Power / money doesn't beget better mate-optionality for women in the same way it benefits men -- so why would she do it?

Please stop the ignorant pandering.

contact info?

Didn't someone in SV say "Software is eating the world"?

I suppose 34B is a good run. I mean its not $110B, but its not Biotech so.

"Importantly, our work on rodent blood exchange establishes that blood age has virtually immediate effects on regeneration of all three germ layer derivatives."

Would love to chat with him!

Im interested in chatting on versioning in this data ( and possibly by extension, compression ) . Happen to have a method to contact you ?

"Dietary restriction just isn't in us." like ... unsure how to respond to this... Like its just so blatantly wrong. source: me, a person whos maintained substantially fasted states for long periods of time

why doesn't this commend have upvote arrows?

Is there something Im missing with pull requests? Or is it that even programmers like UIs?

1) Git log becomes useless.

2) You're merging code via a UI, without ANY granularity whatsoever.

3) Does it not just FEEL dirty doing this in a UI?

4) A little appeal to authority: http://www.wired.com/2012/05/torvalds_github/

5) and a bit more: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56637...

6) Efficiency lost w regards to minor changes. Youd actually write a comment to have someone change something and then RE-issue the pull request? Sure you would, because youre middle management.

Pull requests seem to be a hacky way for management to get involved with something they understand at the loss of control in arguably the most complex phase of coding: INTEGRATION.

"How is the pharmaceutical industry responding to its difficulties? One could hope drug companies would decide to make some changes—trim their prices ..." It seems this, extrapolation, or "logical next step" well encapsulates what the writer knows on the topic of pharma. On what planet would one derive this conclusion from the precursor of lessening profits?

"ridiculously well-served already with regards to delivering packages" ... is this the locker? If not, Im curious ! More plz!

perforce?

"You never get anything for nothing." [citation needed]

1) You will stand up and scream with delight when you realized that the things which were once impossibly convoluted are not comprehensible ( yes this even applies to abstracts )

2) Be cognizant of absorbtion / attention: Its easy to get stuck glossy-eyed and pacing through the lines

3) As stated elsewhere in here: They can be filled with LOTS of crap -- keep this in mind and work on attenuating your bullshit-detection.

You believe hayflick applies to multi-cellular organisms. ... Just stop. Go handle your issues with death elsewhere.

Here is the forum for those choosing to fight such beasts. Please come back when you've reworked your psychological underpinnings.

Dont forget the hayflick limit !

I am certain you aren't a physicist.

no. we should absolutely, act as if aging and death is something to be cured.

A rose by any other name, is just as sweet. I mean to say, all of the STUFF associated with malady is there. So how / why does death/aging ... with all its symptoms ... differ?

It doesn't.

An unhandled, appeal to nature, as a blatant coping mechanism. It's is escapist. IE " lets ignore the problem ".

This common of a fallacy is the top rated comment ... on HN. Please let that sink in.

Nothing more needs to be said. This forum is supposed to represent the top echelons of silicon valley thought. Not some echo chamber of common ( "well always want more" ... really?) memes.

Nice to see audacity in hard science on in a while isn't it???!!

So your 'big data' startup has a few petabytes? lel.

> "Early transcriptional events, driven by high levels of reprogramming transcription factor expression, are associated with widespread loss of histone H3 lysine 27 ( H3K27me) trimethylation, representing a general opening of the chromatin state "

IANASCBC ( I am not a stem-cell biochemist ) but the state of chromatin corresponds with how readily certain genes are accessed, facilitating transcription ... and ultimately "what happens in the cell"

“Death is not an option,” he told his doctor.

Work on fighting aging.

looooool so you're mentioning this comment on your application? Edit: Yes we all know YC is a great accelerator, but the ass kissing ?

LSP: two users: an admin, and a common user. CLEARLY we can see these two should not have the same functionality, thus a GOOD design pattern. Yet clearly in violation of LSP. Esplain please.

But we should all repeat the mantra: " ideas don't matter -- only execution ! "

TLDR from reddit: "For the first time ever, a patient's own skin cells were reverted to induced pluripotent stem cells, differentiated into retinal cells, and transplanted back into the patient as an experimental therapy for macular degeneration."
