Here is a good site to find clinical trials: https://clinicaltrials.gov

comes right up in Safari, but Chrome (which my colleagues use and I tried/failed at yesterday) is just "Waiting for boringstartupstuff.com" with a blank white screen and a spinner in the tab. If I do a Chrome incognito window, it comes right up.

Enjoyed this, went to share it with colleagues, now browser says "An unexpected error has occurred." Inspecting in Safari, shows a bunch of 502s from, e.g. https://boringstartupstuff.com/_next/data/pkj6CTeFqKqkg3-grf...

if we wait for the gov to set up a certification for this, we'll delay the whole industry 10 years.

Because they think they can turn non-monetary value into $.

If this works, recruitment costs will go way down & researchers could afford to give/loan people iOS devices who may not own one. Very excited about Research Kit.

Curious-- do you define a running database system (e.g. MySQL) to contain "data at rest", "data in transit" or neither?

My reading says "neither". Conservative move is "encrypt everything" but curious if others have passed/failed a HIPAA audit with a standard MySQL or SQL Server system (assuming you have individual ID access & logging).

Would love to see this work in the Sonos app. I'm a Prime member & just added a bunch of albums to my Amazon Music Player via web browser. Switched to Sonos and the AMP, but only see the ones I've purchased.

instead of typing into it, voice recognition is perfect here.

Don't Apple's A7 and other chips count as "developing silicon"? And you don't see Apple focusing on "developing software"?

So hard to "order" fruit and veggies, though. You say you want flat leaf parsley, but you get delivered a sad bunch of limp & yellowing leaves. If I was in the store, I'd get curly parsley if it looked better.

with the Amazon subscribe and save, it is automation. I use it for diapers. The arrive automatically every month!

Coverage. Especially in the west.

To me, "Lightning to USB cable" means something to connect it to a charge brick or your Mac/PC, just like the 30-pin to USB cables they used to include.

I love using my iPhone without a case. Been case-less since 2007. Feels so nice in the hand and slides into my pocket more easily without a case. Reminds me of this line from Steven Levy's Wired piece where he's talking to Jobs: "When I pulled out my iPod—I was using it as a recording device—he was horrified to see that it was covered by a plastic case, something that he considered an abomination." http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/ff_stevejobs/all/1

Backlit is great for reading in bed at night. But I prefer the e-ink for all other times. I'm looking forward to getting an e-ink reader with the glow backlight like the new Nook.

But why do they eat too much? Two things to consider: higher fat meals can make you feel sated sooner, so you eat fewer calories. Also, there is evidence that carbohydrates trigger an insulin release which activates a hunger response.

We have Apache running on some Windows boxes-- haven't found a way to run apachectl on Windows...

For reading in bed at night, the back-lit screen on an iPad or Fire is nice since you don't need another light source. But I agree for all other times.

Do you any more detail on this? I found this via lockwiki.com for Maryland -- it says, "A person may not possess a burglar's tool with the intent to use or allow the use of the burglar's tool in the commission of a violation of this subtitle. "

IANAL, but it seems like simple possession is allowed. But maybe my reference is not up to date.

Or I like the idea of a rolling up an e-reader into a cylinder to tuck in a bag.

If it's designed for young kids, and the in-app purchase is reachable in 1 or 2 taps, it is scummy.

or BC or BU or Northeastern or Tufts or...

right, so the email-only signup really just delays the step of creating a password. Is that better?

Would love to see usability commentary on these sites to see if/how they've decided to use one approach over another.

I'm in the US and just went through their "Where to buy" screens-- it showed a $350 price tag.

I have a Samsung TV and their iPhone app lets me control the TV. Handy for when I can't find the remote.

But their whole Smart TV system with apps and stuff really stinks. Very hard to understand the options, and the UI of the underlying apps is terrible. Just terrible.

This ad caught my eye on tv, but Samsung needs to simplify their phone offerings. In this ad, they say, "It's a Samsung." Why not "It's the new Samsung Galaxy S"? They need to push "Samsung Galaxy"(Android) or "Samsung Focus" (Windows). All these other names just dilute their brand.

I just bought a used Android device on craigslist. I didn't care what carrier-- I just wanted wi-fi so I could test some mobile web app work. I ended up with a Samsung Fascinate. Okay, so it's a Samsung Android device. A Fascinate. I have never heard of this model. Then on the back it says "Galaxy S". On the original packaging it says, "Samsung Fascinate TM a Galaxy S TM phone Verizon."

So what am I supposed to call it? By introducing "Fascinate" (or whatever they call it on other carriers), I'm just confused. Now when someone asks me what I bought, what do I tell them? A Samsung? A Samsung Fascinate? A Samsung Galaxy? Galaxy S?

What I do say is, "a used Android device I found on craigslist."

Anyone know of existing jQueryUI sites that have been converted to jQuery Mobile? It seems well documented for how to build new stuff, but if I've got an existing app with jQuery UI Sliders or jQueryUI draggables, if/how best can I convert/update it to get better touch support and/or support for more devices?

So what if HTML5 doesn't technically include CSS3 and JavaScript. It's helpful to have a simple term for "the collection of web technologies that allow rich UI applications in browsers released ~2010." HTML5 fits the bill. Look at what the term "AJAX" did for AJAX, even if you weren't using XML.

We learn to read before we learn to write well. Why do we start out writing programs?

I've always thought programming classes should start with reading and understanding a program that has some loops, assignments, etc. Maybe a program that draws some shapes or parses/prints some strings. Then have students modify it some. Then afterward, start writing your own stuff from scratch.
