I feel medical publishing needs to move away from the current paradigm even more than the open-access journals that have been discussed so widely. The company that made this advance, Agios doesn't seem to be a typical "big pharma" company: They are running lean on market cap (350 million in outstanding shares) and big dreams. Imagine a world with a hundred more companies like this could be creating equally innovative solutions. Then realize that the biggest drug company has a market cap that could be funding over 500 Agios's.

Given advertising costs that number is a little deceptive. Nevertheless we are talking about human trials in the US, an enormously expensive process. It's popular to be conservative about medicine, especially in the US and there's a good reason for that but there's a line between looking for more likely results and wasting money on almost exclusive focus on incremental improvements. We've crossed that line.

Medicine is science and science is moving faster all the time. As a society we need to keep up by focusing capital on smaller, more agile companies, not only to prevent the tragedy of unaddressed new problems but to move the state of the art forward as fast as possible. There are lives to be saved.

Once in a while I read Even If I DID Believe ....

Now this talks mainly about the God that Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in, but will apply to any religion. As a sidenote: it always amazes me how many people don't know those religions worship the same God, but fight over the details on HOW to do just that.

What disingenuous cunt you are!

The rest of the results on the first page of google results bring you to a host of job sites, to listings that seem to be hiring technical people - most with an emphasis on networking, which I can only assume means they're looking specifically for people with the aforementioned Cisco certification.

So are you admitting that you - with all your big opinions about Computer Science and college degrees - don't know how to use Google? Or are you admitting that you're trying (and failing) to make yourself look smart by talking shit about someone else?

And, by the way, there is not a single day I don't hear lawnmowers buzzing. Grass cutting, as presently practiced, and flowering weed killing, with all that Monsanto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... crap, kills all the bees and butterflies, like these https://www.google.com/images?... , through Stalin style Ukrainian starvation.

You are excused to use glyphosate and pesticides on a farm, where you protect food crop, say the voices in my head, but the ecological ravage brought on by indiscriminate "lawn care" for a mere sense of beauty is absolutely inexcusable, and might be penalized with a severe decline in human population, say the mind controlling bacteria parasites in me. Weeds and genetic variability are important, and so is low population density urban sprawl, that's sort of a defense from plutonium suitcase bombs, so humans have to spread out into nature from concentrated cities, and humans in the middle of nature are not the problem, but them being brainwashed into gasoline wasting, time wasting, and especially native ecosystem wasting lawn mowing activities is like the biggest and most insane crime against Life on Earth.

1/1075th of one LoC, given the numbers in this Wikipedia article and extrapolating from its information:

Library data: The U.S. Library of Congress Web Capture team claims that "as of March 2014, the Library has collected about 525 terabytes of web archive data" and that it adds about 5 terabytes per month

525 tb + 5 months of 5 tb / month = 550 tb.

(Not counting September as completed, so only April through August.)

Or, you'd need a stack of 1,075 of these SD cards to hold one LoC. (The actual calculation is 1074.21 or so, but you have to round up or truncate off 100 gb of data, and it's the Library of Congress... you can't just throw away 100 gb of data!)

Climate change and the benefits of using renewables in place of fossil fuels are observable, measurable and given the volume of data we now have it is an irrefutable fact that renewables are preferable to fossil fuels.

Totally agree, but when people cite Germany as being well on their way to using 100% renewables they are missing the facts that Germany has increased its CO2 emissions in the last several years with its shift away from nuclear and they are increasing use of cheap dirty coal to balance the higher costs of renewables.

That is a much repeated statistic and in the short term ... yes, that is true. What is less often pointed out, probably because it does not serve the propaganda purpose of the fossil fuel industry as well as the previous fact, is that their long term goal is 80% renewables by 2050.

Renewables alone are going to be insufficient for the world's energy needs. And industrial scale renewables have their own very negative effects on habitats and the environment. Just as shifting food production to biofuels caused food shortages and food riots, there are going to be negative effects if we have to blanket large areas of the planet with solar panels and wind "farms". Just as we found that the downstream effects of hydro-electric dams are often very negative to fisheries, estuaries and sometimes to agriculture.

And I've said it once and I will say it a million times, nuclear is a far better option with far less negative consequences and with even far less risk than even renewables.

I keep hearing people say this and never backing it up with facts. I know renewables have their own environmental issues but why should they be a show stopper? .... soooo: [Citation needed]

Gentoo is a distribution of Linux (or GNU/Linux or whatever you want to call it) probably best known for its method of software updates where source is compiled on-the-fly to binary as part of the "portage" update system.

ChromeOS is Google's linux (kernel)-based operating system which essentially has a Chrome browser act as the entire user-facing operating system. Apps are written in HTML5/Javascript, etc.

NaCl (Native Client) is a new feature of Chrome that lets you run native (or in PNaCl, ie Portable Native Client, it's a platform-agnostic format that is quickly converted to native binary before running) code from within the browser, all in a sandboxed environment. You can actually get a shell within the browser and compile and run binary apps inside the browser as well. See the Google IO video about this.

The app code is all running on top of the Chrome platform, specifically inside of Native Client. In this way the ARC (Android Runtime for Chrome) apps run in the same environment as other apps you can download from the Chrome Web Store, even though they are written on top of standard Android APIs.

The runtime probably includes some modified version of the entire android framework, etc. meant to be wrapped up by a Chrome browser window and interact with Chrome's input/output, etc.

I don't see how this WON'T be ported quickly to Linux by someone, though it'll likely need Chrome/Chromium. Nothing has stopped Android source from being ported to regular ol' linux except that no one has done it yet. But this work by Google will probably make it easier to include in Chrome.

Incidentally, on Ubuntu, NaCl isn't compiled in, so you may want to get a version in which it is. You can turn it on by following the instructions here.

I want them to be a whole lot more restricted in what they can do than "any other employer," because they're not "any other employer," they're a goddamn government!

You are right that they are not any other employer, they are paid for by tax dollars. And we have a right to demand that our tax dollars are spent without discriminating. But the government has the same interests and faces the same difficulties as any other employer: they need to get good employees and need to avoid risky employees. So there is a conflict.

Okay, so that was a bit over-the-top, but I trust you got my point. More specifically, while the government should be allowed to be selective in terms of who it hires based on competency, it should not be allowed to be selective based on race, gender, age, political affiliation, favorite color, preference for vi vs. emacs or any other non-job-competency-related basis whatsoever.

Your mistake here is in assuming that "not being allowed to be selective based on ... any other non-job-competency-related basis whatsoever" is a reasonable selection criterion for an employer. Neither private companies nor the government can do this because nobody knows how to do it. In the private market, this sort of thing sorts itself out because companies that frequently select based on the wrong criteria will go out of business. The government can't go out of business: you force it to use the wrong selection criteria and you get bad service, deficits, and police brutality. You're right: the government isn't any other employer because it's not subject to market forces. You can't hold it to a higher standard in hiring because nobody can definitively decide what good criteria for employees are any more than they can definitively decide what products people will want to buy 5 years from now.

Any form of government employment is going to be intrinsically unfair to some degree: people are going to get unfairly rejected for irrelevant criteria, there is going to be nepotism, raises despite poor performance, corruption, and even brutality that goes unpunished. You can wave your hands and say "fix this", but it's not going to get fixed, never has, never will be. All you can do is to minimize the unfairness by only making government as large as strictly speaking necessary.

As for Valerie Barr, she objectively shouldn't be working at the NSF. Her citation record is not that of a top scientific expert, not even close; the only reason she was likely considered in the first place was because of personal connections based on her political and social advocacy. Furthermore, she used to advocate violence against her employer, and the fact that she hid that fact during her interviews calls her motivations into question. But anybody working at the NSF should have a long track record of being politically absolutely impartial, because science requires that; given her history, it seems implausible that she could act in a politically impartial way. So the reasons she got fired are absolutely job-competency-related for this kind of job. You may or may not disagree with my analysis; if you do disagree, it's another example of the fact that objective evaluation based only on job-related-competency is not something government can do, because your objective criteria differ from mine.

Since neither the submitter nor the editors couldn't be bothered to provide a link to the app in the play store (let's face it, that would be too useful), here it is:

https://play.google.com/store/...

I'm guessing that if Amazon had added it to Google Play Store, rentals would have had to use Google payments where Google gets 30% instead of Amazon. That or it'd work only with Prime, not rentals.

The requirement to use their payment system probably doesn't apply to Amazon. Their Play policy

has an exemption which says "where payment is for digital content or goods that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g., buying songs that can be played on other music players)". As long as Amazon lets rentals play through other apps then they're probably perfectly okay.

A more likely reason it hasn't appeared until now have been Amazon's own ambitions to run an app store and tablets/phones that are tied to it. They're holding back the goodies to make their own platform more attractive by comparison. Google did it with YouTube to Microsoft, Blackberry did it with BBM and so on.

But it is on the Google Play store.

It's right here.

Here's the Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.avod&hl=en. That page says it's not compatible with my Galaxy Tab 4 8". :(

I have T-Mobile and I am generally pretty pleased, but one thorn in my side is that where I live the signal is poor-to-none. This isn't usually a problem, as I don't generally voice chat and have other call options (e.g., Google Voice, Hangouts). However, it is definitely inconvenient to have to bootstrap every call through a laptop.

This affords me the mobility to easily make calls, wander around, enjoy my deck, etc. and removes that thorn from my side. Thanks, Google!

PS: For those who are waiting for a new Hangouts version, that's not how this is distributed. FTFA, you have to install an add-on dialer app to Hangouts and instant feature! Works great in my limited test runs.

Google, stop chaging people that uses inum, those are SIP endpoints so it is wrong to charge money for a connection that is direct between SIP user agents, if not, don't complain about the lack of Net neutrality. You are giving advantage to people on your own IP network (Hangouts users) that those outside that want to communicate with Hangouts users.

Ok. Can you elaborate? Why is that a requirement for a watch? You plan on being away from electrical outlets for years at a time?

I'm sure there are some out there than go on wilderness expeditions or whatnot, but for most of us posting on slashdot regularly, we sleep somewhere where you already plug your phone into a charger every night anyway... so why is it a problem to put your phone onto something like this on your night stand?

Khyber's list of horrendous technical blunders vs. myself:

1.) He can't disprove a SINGLE point of mine when challenged to do so http://mobile.slashdot.org/com...

2.) He *tried* to put words in my mouth I NEVER ONCE STATED (hosts protecting you vs. everything - nothing does) on MITM http://mobile.slashdot.org/com... - he certainly isn't able to mount either BGP or MITM attack on me either. SAME mistake known sockpuppeteering troll tomhudson = BarbaraHudson = Barbara, not Barbie made too.

3.) He OVERLOOKED I wrote the 1st security guides online for Windows NT-based OS from as far back as 1997 which espouse hosts usage for security (even Aryeh Goretsky of NOD32/ESET agreed with me on that this VERY a.m. by email no less) https://www.google.com/search?... & they're about MORE than hosts: They're about "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth".

5.) Khyber's WRONG on hosts making /. look like "beta" - hosts get AC users like ME an safer, FASTER way of seeing /. "classic" -> http://mobile.slashdot.org/com...

6.) He can't show a way for malware to hijack hosts between APK Hosts File Engine protecting hosts combined with WFP/SFP http://mobile.slashdot.org/com...

7.) He *tried* to use b.s. NOBODY DOES (ads served on same domain) - advertisers don't TRUST webmasters on clickcounts http://mobile.slashdot.org/com...

8.) Sexconker verified the SAME THING I told him (& Khyber's 'whitespace' b.s. isn't boxes like YOU THOUGHT TOO, which old IE showed circa sub IE8 iirc only): Hosts made pages faster & safer minus ads http://mobile.slashdot.org/com... & Khyber's own screenshot showed that much (no box placeholders).

FUNNIEST PART there is Khyber doesn't use hosts yet he made that ERRONEOUS statement: Talking out his ass.

APK

P.S.=> Don't waste time on Khyber the webchump wannabe programmer - he's a blunderer (see above) pissed @ hosts since they can't be bought out, crippled by default & controlled (AdBlock + Ghostery are) & he's losing money... apk

The obvious solution is to return to traditional methods: establish an independent income, then take up scientific research as a hobby.

Historically, our most notable scientists were working at day jobs or otherwise independently wealthy, and did amazing research on their own as a hobby. Some devoted entire wings of their house towards scientific research, amassing a collection of equipment (or specimens) over decades.

Henry Cavendish, of the Cavendish experiment, is one such example. The experiment was so delicate that air currents would affect the measurements, so Cavendish set up the experiment in a shed on his property and measured the results from a distance, using a telescope.

There used to be a term "Gentleman Scientist" for this, but it might more accurately be called "self-funded research".

Consider Paul Stamets as a modern example. With only an honorary doctorate, he is co-author on many papers and has proposed several medications, including treatments for cancer.

I could also nominate Robert Murray Smith to the position. His YouTube Videos are as good as many published Chemistry papers.

The benefits are obvious: You get to work on whatever you think is interesting (or fruitful), you can set your own pace, and you can draw your own line between supporting your dreams and your lifestyle: If you have a family emergency, you can pause your research and spend more money on personal welfare. It also forces you to come up with more efficient (read: less expensive) ways to work.

There's a wealth of useful equipment on eBay and other places, big expensive equipment is not out of the reach of the dedicated researcher. Ben Krasnow has three (I think) electron microscopes. I personally own a UV/VIS spectrophotometer. a microgram scale, and a Weston cell.

The idea that "research can only be done at the behest of government" or "is only associated with university" is a modern fiction. Government would *like* you to believe that everything depends on their whim and largesse, but it's not the only, nor even the best way.

Build a lab and start tinkering, or join a hackerspace. Lots of people do it. Lots of good science is done this way.

"secure you vs. every threat online"? That's all I've asked that idiot Khyber to show us.

P.S.=> Tepples, also & in case you don't *KNOW* this?

( & yes, hosts are NOTED THERE as a valuable line of defense (heck - even Aryeh Goretsky of NOD32/ESET feels that way & wrote me so this a.m. by email - would you like to see that too?))

... apk

(see subject above) protect vs. ALL possible threats online?

* Show us that...

(NOTHING DOES - however, you also CONVENIENTLY omit the fact I favor "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" per the 1st security guides for windows https://www.google.com/search?... , that I WROTE MIND YOU, that prove that much & yes - in their contents, I list hosts as a valuable measure for security - which even got me PAID (more than you can say on the note of security I am sure) & "The Lord works in mysterious ways" for me: THE LORD OF HOSTS (not really, but it fits here)).

In fact, even Aryeh Goretsky of NOD32 feels hosts are a valuable layer of defense - per an email he sent me this a.m. - would you LIKE to see it's content? Ask.

APK

P.S.=> I merely state hosts protect vs. *MOST* forms of exploit, AND add speed, reliability, & even anonymity (and you CAN'T manage to disprove that, now can you -> http://mobile.slashdot.org/com... ? Nope... NO MORE THAN YOU CAN CREATE & MOUNT A TRUE "MITM" ON ME, or a BGP attack - you're a LOT OF TALK, no action, & that's additionally proven by you being unable to not only disprove my points validly, but you not being able to create a program like mine that adds security, speed, reliability, & anonymity)...apkAryeh Goretsky of NOD32 feels hosts are a valuable layer of defense

But they should stop providing health care.

In fact, You're making the SAME STUPID MISTAKE BarbaraHudson = TomHudson = Barbara, not Barbie (the known multiple registered account sockpuppeteer) did -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

I.E.-> He/She failed on making the claim I said "hosts protect vs. all threats" & when I confronted him/her on it, he/she ran & LIKE YOU, SHE/HE COULD NOT BACKUP THAT FALSE ACCUSATION + attempting to put words in my mouth I never once stated...

Clue: I never ONCE have said hosts protect vs. every possible threat (even with ME admitting they fail vs. say, BGP attacks -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... ), & with GOOD REASON - I wrote the very 1st guides for securing Windows vs. threats online:

https://www.google.com/search?...

(Starting in 1997 over @ NTCompatible.com (speed & security guides), & later in that bunch above, I even got paid @ one spot for it - bonus ("The Lord works in mysterious ways" - for me, "The LORD OF HOSTS" (just kidding on that latter part)).

* I favor "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" since there IS NO SINGLE PERFECT DEFENSE OUT THERE, period - & it's the best thing we have going currently vs. threats online.

APK

P.S.=> You're a fool, & YOU ARE certainly one that cannot prove my points here technically inaccurate OR wrong either (on what I actually *did* say hosts can do for users adding more speed, security, reliability, + more) -> http://mobile.slashdot.org/com...

US warships really shouldn't be anywhere near China

They're not. The Spratly islands (map here) are hundreds of miles from China. They're much closer to the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei. Should we avoid sailing near any of those countries in case China's next claim is that those countries are all historically part of China?

They should be invaded and taken from China, so they are no longer historically part of China.

I suppose it's going to be a while before we run out of alpha emitters. So the Wikipedia page is wrong then, when it says Helium is a finite resource. Last time I trust Wikipedia (yeah right:).

You said it slowly dissipates into space. That means the rate it leaves the atmosphere is low, so the rate it is replenished is low, and that's the limiting extraction rate.

According to this (that didn't take long), the rate Helium leaves the atmosphere is 50g/s, or 3e5 cm^3/s. The National Helium Reserve is 1e9 m^3. So, extracting all of the Helium from the atmosphere before it escapes, it would take 1e9 m^3 / (3e5 cm^3/s), or over 100 years to replace the reserves.

But extracting all of it is hopelessly unrealistic. I don't know, but it seems even 1% would be ambitious. So now we're looking at tens of thousands of years.

So either the national reserve is ridiculously large, or removing it from the atmosphere is not going to be a solution to the shortage. Right? Or am I missing something (else)?

I'm curious, how's the performance of YouTube and Netflix over there. Do you notice a bottleneck most likely traced at the trans-Atlantic fiber pairings, or is all content cached on local servers too?

Google has many datacenters, including three in Europe. Alas, due to Google not providing reverse DNS on a lot of their router hops I'm not sure quite where the traces end up, but they're only ~30ms away from Bern, so the connection is definitely routed to their European facilities.

As for Netflix, their European service seems to be run from the Amazon AWS facility in Ireland, so there's no transatlantic links to cross. I imagine they also offer their CDN equipment to European ISPs, but they don't offer Netflix in Switzerland yet, so I don't know if that's the case here. I subscribe to the US Netflix and use Unlocator to trick their location-detection system into thinking I'm in the US, so the videos I watch do cross the Atlantic. There's maybe 10 seconds of lower-resolution video when streams from US Netflix first start, but after that things are in HD quality for the duration. No issues otherwise.

Not only has this already happened, but the server-side of Linux looked at the new features introduced by Android / ChromeOS and decided they wanted some of that too.

So now you have CoreOS formed based on the features of ChromeOS as a nice way to run and maintain Docker containers in a server cluster. So much for forking desktop and server Linux.
