The human body:

metabolism -> cell damage -> pathology -> death.

Medical Science intervenes in between pathology and death. It's kind of unreasonable to have high expectations for medical science given it's so late in the chain. A better solution is to reduce the rate at which metabolism causes cellular damage. There are only 7 different errors of metabolism leading to damage:

cellular loss/atrophy, death resistant cells, nuclear mutations and epimutations, mtDNA mutations, protein crosslinks, junk accumulating inside cells, and junk accumulating outside cells.

Instead of wasting money on bad correlation studies, address those 7 things and we'd be lightyears ahead in terms of helping people. Instead of dumping all research money into attacking manifestation-of-cellular-damage pathology foo, we should invest in basic scientific research giving us a more rigorous definition of cell biology.

I think you should spend some time thinking about how insurance works.
I have no idea about how this business works but I'm curious, how is it even sustainable? What's preventing the "many borrowers simply don’t pay the money back" from becoming "no borrowers pay the money back" ? Their sense of responsibility/morality alone ? What's the penalty of not paying back ?
I agree to an extent, but I'm fairly new to the Android platform and I'm still using the Eclipse+ADT setup described in the official Getting started guide.

I've never been a fan of Eclipse, I used it a while back before moving to NetBeans for Java work, but for the work I've done so far in Android it works just fine and for the most part gets the hell out of the way - and when I want it to get in the way it usually has a wizard to help me out while I'm still green.

I think this is definitely good for new Droid devs, especially those that are new to programming in general - the books I've read, the online material I've read, and the official guides all have used the same development environment. So my opinion is that althrough you CAN use anything you want, you're guided towards the Elipse way unless you know what you're doing enough to work how you want to work.

I've twice tried (unsuccessfully) to use it for small projects. Last week I had to re-write an app to port it off the platform because it suddenly stopped being served correctly when accessed via my own domain name.

You know that market for this is huge, but not the exact numbers. So, you can test the waters by releasing the app with basic functionality (as a free app?).

I think it's anecdotal at best because it's a lawyer (I believe) relating it, in an issue that clearly pits lawyers against everyone else in terms of who gains and loses financially from this change. And it doesn't actually apply to loser pays, but some random contract provision within a different system.

I presume this talks about them being too cheap to have fridges for employees.
For what it's worth, I heard that at least part of the book covers a bit of html5 for browser games with a lisp back end.

The sample chapter that is linked elsewhere uses a graph drawing library that produces png representations of the game state. (This actually builds on the material of a previous chapter, wherein you develop the graph->png utility.)

This is from the perspective of someone who hasn't yet bought the book. I really need to get to that.

I think we can and should be investing in both. Or rather, in the whole spectrum between basic science and direct medical research. The kinds of systems that make a good biology paper are still pretty abstracted from anything directly applicable, so its good to know that the science still gives you the right result on real people.

i know even i used to hate formal proofs!!!i assumed this might have a formal proof by not knowing that this property is based on informal reasoning. (but i personally like formal proofs!!!!!)
While reading this, two things kept popping up in my head:

1. Science and medicine are as much about marketing as anything else out there. If you're not making headlines, you're going nowhere.

This is not new by any means. The story of evolution and how Darwin "beat" Wallace to fame is a good example. History is littered with similar stories.

2. This is the peer review process working in full swing. Dammit it's very slow, but it works - eventually. Journal papers are supposed to be peer reviewed to catch the obviously wrong papers, and the downside is explained well in the article. However, the key is whatever bad research slips through is caught by repetition and meta analysis. And if these repetitions and analyses are themselves flawed, others will point them out.

It's exactly like open source. No one guarantees that open source produces bug-free code but we trust that the bugs will get weeded out faster.
I'll be releasing something soon (with the help of a co-conspirator) to take baby steps in that direction. Larger products are also in the pipeline. In hindsight, contracting probably made getting to this stage harder (slower) than having a 9-5 job and working on my own stuff in the evenings/at weekends would have been. Especially early on, I was often 2 weeks from running out of money, and I still occasionally screw up estimates. Still, I've learned a lot in the process. Working up a buffer has certainly been hard this way, particularly with the insane tax & social security rates here.

Longer term, there's no way I'd realistically be able to be a mere employee without going nuts or locking myself out of the job market. Job hopping (I get bored with jobs that don't progress at my pace so quickly) looks terrible on the CV, contracting seems to be fine.
I never used slimv, but I started developing in Clojure using Vim and connecting it to a repl as explained here:

What a complete bullshit. Making the case for something based on it having a long tradition. Great. We can stop any debate then. Let's just do what the Romans did or the Greeks or ...

Apart from that, as a European, I know how I and the people I know think. It's simple. Never sue a financially stronger opponent and when you're sued, give up immediately unless you have insurance. The risks are very uneven. One side risks their entire existence. For the other side it's just a blip in their legal budget.

Civil law in Europe is a farce. It's an exclusive playground for the rich and for large corporations.

On the other hand, there are a lot of small scripts and utilities that are written in Python, so it is a useful metric for quite a lot of use-cases.
> If the US became a less litigious country as a result of loser-pay, then the system would be a benefit, IMO. The legal tax required to do business in the US is too high.

To put it the other way around: Loser-Pay makes it easier for companies to screw people over. Which is exactly what happens here in Germany, where companies can pull shady tricks without fear of getting sued - the risk of having to pay all the fees is too high for the everyman.

Loser-pay sounds good in theory, but sucks in practice.
writing Java, which I've never done and would probably be pretty bad at

Something tells me that you could still get a job doing it, it just might not be a job you particularly wanted :-)

Seriously, though, clojure devs are a funny group. Clojure isn't anybody's first language at this point, and for the majority it's probably not even their third or fourth language, so they're already selecting for people who not only can, but choose to and enjoy learning new languages which are demonstrably deeper and have more details to learn than Java. Not only that, the language was specifically designed to be easy to learn.

What I've found trick with Java isn't the language, though - it's the ecosystem. Just trying to figure out which way is up in a Tomcat installation, for instance, is an absolute bear.

That's the question though - what is the process for calculating the net present value of startup options given the risks involved.

I would be nice to have a online tool that did all of these calculations for you - e.g. given estimates of market size, distribution of the sizes of exits etc.
> This might actually be a place where Wal-Mart using its clout to drive profit margins down is an unequivocal good.

Walmart using it's clout to drive profit margins down is always an unequivocal good. The sole reason a free market is better than the alternatives is that given enough time, margins trend as low as they can possibly go.

On your last point, I found the exact oppisite with google app engine. I am using it to build an app that has integration with maps and docs and the infrastructure helps a lot to get the app to beta users quickly (it took me two weeks to get it to beta users. If I had not used app engine, I estimate that it would've taken atleast two months, maybe more).

AppEngine is (especially) nice for hobby projects fitting into the free quota.

Is it wrong to wonder why they're throwing something as meaningful as live data integration at this massive scale on tracking human beings as if they were animals? Sure, the startup was about to sink and they wanted to make the most of their money, but surely there could have been better uses for that technology than violating someone's privacy?

I like the clean design of this site, but I can't quite understand what the purpose of the site really is.

Isn't JavaScript turned on by default in most webbrowsers, at least the ones that a non-techie is likely to use? In that case, it's either already activated or if it's not the user must have turned it off herself - but in that case she should know how she did that and how to undo it, right?

Oh, well, perhaps one could say that at least this is a nice little reminder for those who have never used a menu or a preference window. ;-)

But wait, how would I even find this site when I need it? Should I bookmark it, just in case I ever turn off JavaScript and then forget how to turn it back on again? Because otherwise I'm sure googling "turn on javascript <mybrowser>" would have gotten me the right answer quickly even without this page.
"You form a hypothesis, perform a study, and get negative results -- well, you're not going to try to publish it."

This seems fundamentally incorrect to me. Wouldn't research all around just fail if no one ever reported their negative results, thus dooming many other researches to performing the same fruitless experiments?
those utilities are often used shell scripted to run many times in a row. at least in interactive use, the multiplied startup times can grow annoyingly long.

Meanwhile, it's launch day for us, so i'm going to be distracted :) Actually, you might be interested in our site too, as I was also talking to raj about how, one thing it can do, is show you who is playing pool right now and where. It's not built for pool players but all groups e.g. singles, expats but it can work for pool players as it gives each group it's own location based social network. You have friend finders on Foursquare and on our site, it's group finder. http://www.likeourselves.com
You can create your own network e.g. APA league pool players and whenver they check-in somewhere, you can see who is there. Anyway, if you are interested please take a look
UNIX gives top-level (userland, not root) programs a "raw access to registers and the memory allocator". Incredibly low level things which aren't needed, and are a source of errors, some of which are security breaches. This is bad™.

The question is "why did they do that" ? The most obvious answer is C: If you write your OS in C, you will most likely make C-like APIs, which don't properly hide low-level stuff, but are easier to implement (the "Worse is Better" principle).

Something of a tangent, but Intellectual Ventures (from whom these "patents" was purchased) was reviewed with gushing admiration in Superfreakonomics - all geniuses, all wonderful etc. According to the authors they have solutions for many of the worlds major problems (global warming, big hurricanes for example).

Find a site or two dedicated to folks in your market. These are usually forums/blogs etc. Since you say your core market is big, finding these should not be an issue.

Buy some ad on those sites that links/shows a poll "Do you own an Android?" or something to that nature.

That'll give you SOME idea. Also, don't forget that with a hot and new product like Android, the numbers are changing literally. Translation: don't depend too much on market size because it may literally change significantly month to month in Android's case.

You could use one of those Java background daemons to do that, but anyway, what I was trying to say is just that this benchmark doesn't test JIT or interpreter performance in the case of Jython.

Just to be clear, what are the specified numbers? execution time in seconds?

These payday loan places are universally vilified. But people forget the highstreet banks are just as bad - if not worse. Do you know how much it costs me if I go up to 150 pounds over my overdraft limit? 22 pounds A DAY - even if I'm a penny over. In this situation, it's far cheaper for me to borrow from a payday loan place to stop me going over my overdraft limit than it is to incur bank fees.
