Biotech is going to be eaten by software, that's not in question. It's clear that Kleiner lost their first bet on health startups, which means that I'm looking forward to seeing th…

Looking for interesting things to do over the Labor Day weekend. CS Student. Done a mix of web, Python & Java. I have a couple ideas, but would love to hear your thoughts. - HN see…

iOS7 is already doing that. It's switching from skeuomorphic buttons to just typography. This doesn't address your larger point, given that the switch to lines doesn't mean that th…

It would be great if all academic papers had a 140 word tl;dr version. Would save grad students a bunch of time. (Crack joke about how my phd is taking 2 years longer then expected…

I recognize the optimizely part. Good guys so I'm glad they've got LinkedIn using them to AB test. I was able to duplicate it on the Profile Completion section as well. I didn't ha…
