To clarify, they were proposing much more than 30 tests from one drop. They were marketing (to investors, not me but close friends in the industry) the ability to do 100 tests on a drop and then auto-retest from what was left of the same drop for anything that didn't meet some threshold or auto-perform some other indicated test on the basis of a first test result from the original 100-test panel. These numbers are maybe not entirely accurate, but within the ballpark of what was at least implied. All lies/marketing of course, but the dream was real.
Flesh is the nearest English cognate, but meat is the correct translation. (I'm less clear on sitz, if it should be seat or if it is about sitting.)

But I'm thinking maybe the idea is along the lines of "put your glutes into it" or "do you have the glutes for that?"

You're focusing on the error rate, which is not actually the concern. You could have a perfectly working VAX in front of you, and it would be essentially a museum piece, because technology has moved on. Suggesting that any physical process is perfectable is...subject to qualification and requiring of strong evidence, shall we say. However, if true, it would still be insufficient.

I think it's more of a case that he was such an outlier in horribleness that even a museum with a focus on technology over personalities can't help but talk about it. That and the departure of the 'traitorous eight' is a key Silicon Valley formative event.
I am reading novels in Japanese. My method is similar but without the flashcards.

I read a page at a time, looking up and writing all unknown vocabulary in a notebook. There could be dozens of new words on the page. I then reread the same page. Usually I can read the entire page through quickly the second time, because it's fresh in my memory. However, when the same words come up again later I may have forgotten the reading or meaning, so it gets another entry in the notebook (even if I recognize it). After noting the same word a few times, I may start to remember it.

The advantage of reading books, in my opinion, is that they tend to use the same vocabulary over and over. You'll eventually remember the most frequently used words naturally. The other advantage is that vocabulary appears in context. This is better for both remembering and for understanding. This is why I don't use flashcards, and just let the book be my study tool.

It's much easier to use this method if the book is selected carefully. It should be relatively easy, but still interesting. Something that might be assigned reading in middle school or high school, I feel, are often good examples.
In my experience, getting shots or blood draws does not hurt. A finger prick might or might not. But I'd prefer the finger prick anyway because it's much less creepy than having a long needle stuck into your vein.

Antivaccination movements historically pop up in all kinds of different places and contexts for different nominal reasons, and I'm pretty sure a big part of what gives them steam is that people just aren't comfortable with the physical logistics.
BINGO. That really is the elephant in the room. Everyone skilled in the field knew it shouldn't work. Not because of limits of detection or micro-fluidics (engineering problems that could be improved/mitigated/worked-around, eliminated), but because of fundamental biological principles that cannot be changed.

Exactly. German car manufacturers are announcing to start shipping products from next year. They are not announcing at what price and volume they expect to be selling those. But you can safely assume this will be very high and very low for quite some time. Everybody seems to be going on about Teslas well documented struggle to reach 5K cars/week in production. My guess is that it will be quite a bit of time before the traditional manufacturers will be able to boast similar numbers.

All indications are that German car manufacturers are taking the same path as Tesla has over the last ten years: start shipping in low volume at the very high end of the market and (re) learn how to build products in this market. My guess is that they are themselves expecting it to take quite a while to catch up; probably in the order of five to ten years. The currently announced and rumored models are stop gap solutions to not fall behind any further. They are behind in specs and pricing and they can't ship them in large enough volumes. But it is better than having nothing in the market.

It's what is going to come after those that is going to make or break them. Look for the second or third generation models of these vehicles by 2023-2025. By then they should have sorted out logistics and battery production issues and figured out how to make better EVs for less money.

Meanwhile, Model 3 sales alone are outpacing their high end conventional models in the same price class in the US. Considering that that is where car manufacturers make their money, that has got to be hurting financially. Likewise, Model S is selling pretty substantially in Europe, and out selling several of the BMW an Mercedes models in the same price class. In Germany! Model 3 has yet to start shipping here in serious volume.

With Tesla steadily increasing production, improving efficiency in their production, opening new factories (and planning to build more), rolling out to more countries, and dropping prices over the next five years, that is going to be a problem for other manufacturers for a while.
Again, I'm no expert on alcohol, but is it really medication? It doesn't fix the underlying issues (stress, chronic pain, depression, etc.) at all; it just masks them. I guess you could classify it as similar to a painkiller, but even with those there are usually limits to how much you can self-medicate yourself with.

Yeah exactly - everything they were proposing (either directly or indirectly) through marketing suggested they were making a device that could take a drop of blood, analyze all results, and give results almost immediately. If it didn't fit in the "existing lab model" it is because it was supposed to replace it. Of course, if it was real, it would have had no problem printing money as the value would be enourmous.
Yeah, I'm mostly interested because the software is designed simply to be a useful tool, rather than with Google or Apple's motives in mind (lock-in, advertising).

Welcome to what the rest of the world has been experiencing under the US hegemony for the past 3 decades. Since we are not all operating under the same authority, and so we don't have anyone to appeal to for a final answer when we disagree, relations between nation's and their companies have been a matter of practicality rather than ethics. If you can silo off the EU feel free, but most companies won't voluntarily give up access to the largest economy in the known universe if they can find any way at all you can mitigate the local regulations
As I see it, any system that can be compromised to pwn malefactors - even the most conceivably horrible terrorists and criminals - cannot be trusted. And notwithstanding all the slander and conspiracy theory, Tor is perhaps the only working example of a compromise-resistant system. Unless it actually is backdoored, anyway.

Obviously, the Five Eyes don't see it that way. But I gotta wonder how commonly Tor is used among TLAs, and how the debate goes, if it is. Because this would destroy Tor. Unless operators were totally anonymous, and relays only stayed up until targeted.

That's totally true, people can learn it out of pure love.

But realisticlly, Mandarin is very hard to learn, we learn it here in China everyday until the last day of highschool, the everyday classes of Chinese language is no less than any other major course, that's serious time investment even for native speakers, yet still many college students are basicly asses with it.

I'd say the information within it's language world is low quality, large parts of it were translated poorly from English, no where near the English one since it's the world language, so you basicly were reduced to using it for everyday conversation, if you realy want, I suggest you don't invest more than that.

And I oppose teaching it in foreign middle schools aside for Chinese American, it's good to dabble in for some basics though.

To put it simply: It's easier said and theorised than done.

The easiest to use, most consistent and stable system is always going to be a centralised system and these cost money. Once money is involved it starts to become a company and be bound to the laws the countries want. Unless someone can solve the known problems with decentralised systems while simultaneously making the system as easy to onboard and use as the tech giants can we will never have a truly competitive open source equivalent the products of tech giants.
Jennifer is an amazingly successful and brilliant person. But, let's not forget Emmanuelle Charpentier. She is the one who spent over a decade peering at the amazingly strange and esoteric pieces of the puzzle that when eventually pieced together became the story that we all now know as CRISPR. She persevered when the world scientific community yawned at her bizarrely focused "sequence gazing". Many thought she was just finding patterns where randomness/happenstance would guarantee such fake patterns would naturally occur if you looked hard enough. Jennifer and her group, to be sure, contributed a lot to realize the end result, but Dr. Charpentier's contributions were the necessary foundation.
Jail, I'd assume. Holmes (and Balwani) have been indicted on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud by a federal grand jury (they've pleaded not guilty).

Wire fraud apparently carries a maximum penalty of 20 years, so they could be going away for a while. Holmes is also barred from serving as a director or officer of a public company for 10 years, due to a previous SEC settlement.
I don't think this is what you meant, but just in case: I certainly wasn't implying anything negative about you or your idea. If you think I'm being too harsh on Theranos, well, my mind was open too until I read the book. :)

I don't think Theranos was intended as a scam from the start, and even when it was well into fraudulent territory, Holmes seems to have had some kind of genuine belief. (If not, I think she could have got out earlier with lots of money and less legal/reputational exposure.) But unless Carreyrou got almost everything wrong, there's no reasonable way to see the Theranos story as a tale of more-or-less well-intentioned people responding in forgivable ways to the pressures and challenges of a difficult industry, as I think you're suggesting might be the case.

It was more like a death spiral of unrealistic promises bleeding into outright lies, a cult-like working environment, bullying and legal intimidation of critics, and eventually the deliberate (or, to be extremely charitable, wilfully ignorant) use of unreliable technology to conduct medical tests on, and give inaccurate results to, unsuspecting patients.

> trying to use the language in the straightforward portable-assembler way that it was originally designed for

Just because it was designed that way doesn't mean that's the way it works now. There are reasons why pointer casts are left undefined (as opposed to many other sources of undefined behavior, to which I heartily agree should have been left implementation-defined).
I think people's reasoning is like mathematical induction here. 10 years ago I wanted to live 10 more years. Today I want to live 10 more years. At any age N, I want to live to N+10. Therefore, I want to live forever.

I also think people implicitly assume suicide should be an open option if they ever get bored with eternity.
> This hasn't even reached any stage where emotions or thought might emerge

> we have to consider them before it is too late and a tragedy has occurred

We have to talk about it before we get to the state of emotions and thoughts, because then it's already too late.

> How will anything move forward if we, as a global society become scared of everything?

We're not scared at all. Calling ethical considerations "scared" is a silly thing to say in the face of all the genocides, horrors like Hiroshima and Nagasaki and all the other things we did. We were not scared to use nuclear weapons and there are some people who aren't scared to clone humans. It's not about being scared, it's about being ethical.

Being ethical is not necessarily a natural thing for us, we have to keep this in mind constantly so we don't lose what we call humanity.

To be honest this isn't quite a big deal. Why would anyone let an airplane running for days continuously.

Just a quick calculation. If it takes 248 days = 248 * 24 * 3600 seconds to go to 1 to 2^32, then the sensors have a sampling time of 5ms so it takes a measurement at a 200Hz frequency.

They are now a drug development company and have hired some of the best in the business to mine their data and develop novel therapeutics. They have Germaine Fuh! 23andme is now a cool company!
The Freakonomics guys did a paper on this. Basically, their conclusion was just do it, make the big change.

Their experiment was based on coin flips and self-reported happiness, but basically those who made the big change after the coin told them to reported being substantially happier, and if you dive into the data, you'll see that those that went with the biggest decisions (quit a job, get married) saw a double digit improvement in happiness.

We've banned this account. All it has done is aggressively post pro-Google comments and diss Google competitors.

Single-purpose accounts are not allowed here, especially not when pushing an agenda, and most of all not when pushing corporate propaganda. Of all the things that make HN users angry, that's at the top. And I agree with them.

Most of the time we tell HN users that they're not allowed to accuse each other of astroturfing. When we do find a clear-cut case of abuse that's been getting away with it for this long, I get pretty steamed.

You've also frequently broken the site guidelines by being uncivil, so much so that we've warned you at least half a dozen times. That's more than enough reason to ban you in its own right.

Wow, that sounds like a failure of teaching to me. The exam switched from C++ to Java in roughly 2004 and then it is discontinued in 2009?

Well - in my opinion - having done this day in and day out for last 4 years - the key thing is to look at both users who are leaving and who are staying. We understand the difference between the two and then try to tilt the uninstalling users towards the installing users behaviour. However, sometimes the uninstalling behaviour is specific to something that cohort only and hence both cohorts need to be looked at.
Sadly other countries (I'm in the UK) don't have such protections.
