“Nobody is going to be making a pathogen with E.coli and Crispr,” she later told me. “And even if they wanted to, it would be easier to just go to Chipotle and get the pathogen itself. Science is not having a Ph.D. That’s just snobbery.”

I listen to music with the volume fairly low so i can hear my foot strike and my breathing. For me, the music is not a distraction but a combination of two things i like to do... especially when it's music i love and the tempo fits beautifully with my pace. it becomes a the perfect score to your run.

Why don't they tie the local stations into the apps so revenue can be tracked by either sposorship or geolocation? As well as locally relevant content?

Supposedly this reduces the distance to affect sensitive electronics/cards.

OT question: how do you like TechShop? Still waiting for one here in LA. Although wish they'd pick a location further west, like culver city.

Their search seems really unreliable to me. It doesn't find things that you can find by just scrolling up.

My son has to take antibiotics continuously because of an autoimmune reactions to strep (called PANDAS).

Symptoms from the above link:

Presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder and/or a tic disorder Pediatric onset of symptoms (age 3 years to puberty) Episodic course of symptom severity (see information below) Association with group A Beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection (a positive throat culture for strep or history of scarlet fever) Association with neurological abnormalities (physical hyperactivity, or unusual, jerky movements that are not in the child’s control) Very abrupt onset or worsening of symptoms

Sounds like a tinder / airbnb mashup waiting to happen.

I wonder if that's simply a debanding filter on decode.

What would happen if you bred insects in a 50% oxygen environment?

"The problem turned out to be a classic case of synesthesia. ... Although Leinsdorf’s performance of the “Valkyries” was rhythmically in synch with Solti’s, at this moment Leinsdorf had emphasized the strings in his orchestral balance, whereas at that same point Solti had chosen to emphasize the brasses, which—I realized now only in retrospect—were responsible for synergizing that wonderful acid blue of the ocean. In Leinsdorf’s recording, the strings were soft and pillowy, and as a result the blue looked dead: The chemistry of the image and sound worked against each other to the detriment of both."

If only we could hear both edits and compare.

It's very easy because it's not necessary. It's only hard for the people still on facebook because they can't reach you or feed off your posts.

"traveling several hours for a coffee date"

Guys I know at SpaceX don't have time for dates because they're working late every night of the week or have given up on relationships after having failed ones because of working too much.

This happens in LA already a fair amount in my experience. It's perfect for many productions where instead of picking up gear across town and sending a PA back and forth. The only down side is the repeatability and consistency that is valuable with using the same people who know where exactly to go and how to navigate the sometimes odd places.

Some interesting features but it would have been nice to see something like zigbee on there also... http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/content.do?id=18570

Using middle-out obviously...

I've seen what seems like gamma ray problems on CRTs on older planes that have been flying a long time. Not quite dead columns but more like streaks from top down (part way and at angles).

Add kodak to the list.

"...the company paid $275,000 to Dr Drew Pinsky, who hosted a popular radio show...Pinsky, who had not declared his GSK income to listeners, said Wellbutrin could give women 60 orgasms a night."

Bad Forbes UI makes it hard to see that it's 9 pages long.

One of the VRML co-authors, Gavin Anderson went on to be one of the lead developers of bitcoin... arguable much more important than VR.

Bringing back skeuomorphism in full force like it's 2005...

This should almost be the title of the thread.

Not really super fast camera but more sequential instances of different but similar events in time.

Re: http://group47.com/what-is-dots/

In dealing with tough problems like Autism, unknown autoimmune disorders, etc. Trusting a physician or even many physicians to make the right diagnosis is a gamble. It's even harder to find a physician who truly listens to the patient/family.

After much struggle with my sons rare condition, we found a physician who was able to help diagnose the problem. At one point he said "Your experiences in dealing the problem and the things your try that succeed and fail are far more important than my training... I'm here to help by listening and adding my experience"

In the case of a disease that I had, after seeing many many doctors and a year of tests, it was my dad on the periphery who figured it out exactly and then sent me to the right specialist.

Doctors are right some percentage of the time, but patients/families can have a great effect on coming to the right diagnosis.

They should buy Dash. Just because.

A restriction is not the same as preventing you from doing something. It should be called Camera Preventica.
