"Hours after Hutchins was arrested by the FBI, more than $130,000 (£100,000) of the bitcoin ransom taken by the creators of WannaCry was moved within the bitcoin network for the first time since the outbreak."

"one of a variety of silver impregnation staining techniques, such as the modified Bielschowski or Gallyas technique, or the fluorochrome dye thioflavin S is typically employed to visualize neurofibrillary tangles

Because these techniques require either specialized equipment (the thioflavin S stain requires the use of a fluorescence microscope with specialized excitatory and barrier filters) or experienced histotechnologists (in the case of silver impregnation stains), most anatomic pathologists in general practice lack the capability to properly evaluate brain specimens submitted for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Such specimens are best referred to specialized neuropathology laboratories where the necessary experience and facilities are in place."

It is around $2 USD here.

Alzheimers is a tauprotein disorder. Alzheimers without plaques is called Primary Age-Related Tauopathy, aka PARTS.

Not surprised. I have been using BTRFS for years. Unfortunately, one gets the feeling that not too much development has been going into it.

Another classic paper by John McCarthy, the father of Lisp and much of early AI.

From the number of downvotes I have received, I can see that sarcasm is a foreign concept to many....

(Do not despair, Mr Trump will make all these evil foreign things go away )

Anyone who dares suggest otherwise, must have been suborned by Mr Putin, ISIS or Mr Andrew Breitbart...

''Despite the concerns of some engineers, SMCS-NG was created as a port to Microsoft Windows of the SMCS infrastructure and applications, a move which some commentators have termed "Windows for Warships".

The UK's Defence Ministry later gave assurances, through questions in the UK parliament, that this is a low risk use of Microsoft Windows. However, some other suppliers have taken a different path.

The console for the new Sonar 2076 supplied by Thales Underwater Systems for the Astute class submarines, and which may be retro-fitted to other classes, are built as PCs running Linux rather than Windows.''

The UK Trident strategic nuclear submarines also run Windows XP.

I am a physician and read HN regularly. Lambda the Ultimate is better but requires effort to read, while this is fairly mindless entertainment.

Erdoğan must be delighted at this move towards Pan-Turkism

The item has reached international media. British tabloids, Vice and a Polish site are all reporting on it.

Karma...

At my kid's school, some children used Latex for their maths. Surely, adults can grok Latex too.

I have found that some older employees have decades of valuable experience.Others have one year of experience repeated thirty times....

If you are not ashamed of your DoD connection, why do you feel obliged to state that you are not involved in weapon's development ?

If you are ashamed of your DoD connection, what have you done about getting alternate funding ?

Sounds like another would-be Theranos.

Kudos to ycombinator !

Respect !

I bought a Newton in 2007 or so, just to be able to play with NewtonScript.

Aldi sells a clone for around $40. I have had one for some years.

Softlayer is being IBMified into nonexistence:

"In the coming days, weeks, and months, you'll start seeing 'Bluemix' more and more where you're used to seeing 'SoftLayer'. Because the legacy SoftLayer offerings and legacy Bluemix offerings will be available from a unified cloud platform, we're bringing them all under the Bluemix brand," SoftLayer's digital content director Kevin Hazard said.

"IBM isn't planning on changing the substance of SoftLayer's systems, products, services, and support, but it will phase the name out as it moves everything, including the SoftLayer blog over to Bluemix domains.

A investment banker I know ( private equity, with a well know firm that has a AUM of $340 billion ) was asked :

"Why do you you hate the USA ?"

when he last flew to the US.

"BMAP is the coolest.

Pulls up a global map with "near-realtime" locations of cargo ships, offshore oil derricks and wind farms, tropical depressions and hurricanes, uranium mines, all kinds of crazy stuff.

You can zoom in on the Panama Canal and see which oil tankers under whose flag are waiting in line to pass through, where they're going and how much oil they're carrying.

You can sort the world's ocean-going cargo vessels by commodity, to see where all the orange juice is."
