Fair and solid focus on government domain issues. It's us the people that will fix govt, instead of govt fixing companies.

Anti monopoly law already handles that.

And you're suggesting what, that we hand the reins to the democratic process you just described as flawed, one that is corrupted by lobbying? Yeah why don't we just take a corrupt …

Are children and young adults banned from selecting products based on marketing inside stores?

Pretty much everywhere else they pretend to not have lobbying or bribing, but just end up doing it behind closed doors.

Employees should have capped liquidation prefs!

It's pretty interesting to think about happens from an economic perspective. Say I buy a house on loan (money withdrawn from capital markets). I hand cash to the previous owner and…

Your advice is somewhat dangerous if people follow it expecting them to magically work. First, the NASA study is for VOCs, not pm2.5. Second, when I briefly looked into using plant…

My use case is pretty much parallel time series alignment with several layers of aggregation. I guess I perceive stream-stream joins as an easy way for me to wrap my head around ho…

That's awesome! If you don't mind - one more q.. I see that stream-stream joins are not yet supported ( http://docs.pipelinedb.com/joins.html#stream-stream-joins ). Can you comment…

Is most of the intermediate processing done in memory, or is it limited by hd write speed?

Great, let's evaluate the deaths caused by regular cars. Lets evaluate risks posed by burning fossil fuels. Let's evaluate pretty much every single little detail about other auto b…

As far as I'm aware the majority of failing biotech companies have very broadly targeted Amyloid beta (apparently because they thought it was a good risk tradeoff). A narrow focus …

Sounds like a great time to start a biotech company. Though there will be some competition. Am aware of at least two companies in this space ;)

They used to have it visible, but it's been moved to an archived report. You can still find out from the raw data report here though: https://www.23andme.com/you/explorer/gene/?gen…

I get that you have strong feelings. But this is just uninformed. If you took a sec to understand Musk's comp structure you'd see that its paper wealth, as in he doesn't take cash …

Couldn't they just use multiple fibers per display to get around that problem?

because you could spend a tiny amount of effort/time to search for a newly available treatment to prevent the worst case scenario

There are a really large number of companies working on eliminating up stream causes of Alzheimer's, many with promising results. So early detection gives you time to find out if t…

There is a genotype called ApoeE-e4/e4 which increases risk by 11x. https://snpedia.com/index.php/APOE Interestingly the only differences between Apoe4 and a neutral, very common v…

As I understand this only works for E3/E4 variants. Not homozygous E4/E4.

This is key. Apoe status appears to control the absorption rates of LDL cholesterol (tiny balls of fat). Individuals with apoe4, appear to have really low LDL cholesterol absorptio…
