  1. Part of the job of a genetic counselor is patient facing.

  2. Re:Been developing in NodeJS for 3 years now on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 1

    So Much For Subtlety

  3. Been developing in NodeJS for 3 years now on JavaScript Is Eating The World (dev.to) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Its a great framework. Development is fast. Deployments are even faster. Testing is easy... Sure, Javascript is far from the fastest language, but in our context we delivered many more tools and services than we would have in Java, Php or .NET. Its not perfect of course, but for us the benefits far outweighs the disadvantages. Long live NodeJS.

  4. Its Machine Learning, not AI on AI Can Predict When Patients Will Die From Heart Failure 'With 80% Accuracy' (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Calling it an AI is misleading. The paper itself reports it as machine learning "Machine Learning of Threedimensional Right Ventricular Motion Enables Outcome Prediction in Pulmonary Hypertension"

  5. Re:Genetic testing is NOT done currently in sports on DNA Testing For Jobs May Be On Its Way, Warns Gartner (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    There are already tests on the market looking for markers related to muscle fibers (fast twitch versus slow twitch). These are currently used to make personalized training plans. But genetic testing for specific aptitudes... that would be discrimination.

  6. Re:Reusing passwords on Dropbox Is Urging Users To Reset Their Passwords (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a number of services that are becoming available through a "passwordless" approach (either through email or sms authentication). I wish it could get mainstream because currently, the hardest part is explaining properly to users how to use the system. I wrote a post on this: https://biogeniq.ca/en/article...

  7. Re:Use a password manager on Epic Games Forums Hacked, Again (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    You can also take the habit to always log in to your services through the "I forgot my password" options. At least it saves you from having to remember the password to your password manager!

  8. Re:Solve the damn problem already- go passwordless on Password Strength Meters on Websites Are Doing a Terrible Job (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I started using a passwordless approach. Its been a couple of months now, and I recently wrote an article about this: https://biogeniq.ca/en/article... Bottom line is, its possible to create a service that does not use passwords, but you still have to rely on other services (such as emails). And these are still protected by passwords...

  9. Re:I do this for a living on Why Electronic Health Records Aren't More Usable (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    I honestly didn't thought so many of you knew HL7 :P

  10. Re:This doesn't make sense. on Stanford Identifies Potential Security Hole In Genomic Data-Sharing Network · · Score: 1

    Very well resumed!

  11. Re:I'm sure no one will misconstrue this at all... on Apple's Plans For Your DNA · · Score: 1

    These days, genomic labs use custom panels, seeking information only for SNPs related to the study and voluntarily ignoring the rest. Apple would definitely not want to store SNPs related to "proclivity to aggression", but they might be interested to know if you can metabolize lactose. It makes a lot of sense for them to store some carefully chosen parts of your DNA in an iPhone (the less sensitive parts). Apple planned to replace the wallet, why not also the medical bracelet?

    Hehe, Happens to me all the time :P

  13. Hope they won't get sued on Librem: a Laptop Custom-Made For Free/Libre Software · · Score: 1

    If Samsung is sued because their tablets are too similar to iPads, I have a hard time believing that they won't get sued over their MacBook style design...

  14. 4 calls in a year on 65,000 Complaints Later, Microsoft Files Suit Against Tech Support Scammers · · Score: 1

    This year alone, I received 4 calls from these scammers, pretending to be Microsoft technicians.

  15. Re:Blocking exosomes on Detritus From Cancer Cells May Infect Healthy Cells · · Score: 1

    The exosomes will be similar, only the content will differ. Also, its still not clear how much these exosome travel. They might end up far from any tumor cell, making it impractical for targeting.

  16. If cancer is so old... on New Research Suggests Cancer May Be an Intrinsic Property of Cells · · Score: 1

    How did it survive evolution? What is its function?

  17. Waiting for first post? on Introducing Slashdot's New Build Section · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Here it is!

  18. What do your think of Fergus et all paper on Interviews: Ask Dr. Andy Chun About Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 2

    What do your think of Fergus et all paper : Intriguing properties of neural networks. Is this a phenomenon you came across before?

  19. Re:As a Quebecer... on Tesla Aims For $30,000 Price, 2017 Launch For Model E · · Score: 1

    At least we found out about the corruption. Maybe now we will start to THINK BIG, sti!

  20. I second that. R is the better choice here.

  21. CRISPR on Fixing Faulty Genes On the Cheap · · Score: 1

    This technology has been advertised everywhere in my institute... and now its on Slashdot... I wonder if there is someone behind their marketing campaign?

  22. Re:What if there is no reason? on Why Are We Made of Matter? · · Score: 1

    Actually, solving a rubik's cube is not unstructured if your algorithm thinks at least 20 moves ahead. Similarly, we probably need to have a broader view of the universe to discern a possible reason for the dominance of matter.

  23. /. cookies on Ask Slashdot: What Software Can You Not Live Without? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Always the first thing I install. It even works on all major OS. Keeps beta version at bay ;)

  24. Daemon on Could Crowd-Sourced Direct Democracy Work? · · Score: 1

    Daniel Suarez (author of Daemon and Freedom) describes a very interesting "government". He imagined quite a complex system to handle and balance projects / votes / budget / ...
    I recommend reading his books before saying that such a system wouldn't work. The ideas shared makes it sound quite believable.
