I don't see a problem. A patient undergoes a DNA test to answer a/certain/ question. So answer this specific question only but keep the data to answer potential other questions later.
Read the following two books, that is how I learned to go from qbasic to object-oriented python using design patterns:
- code complete
- design patterns
After that of course you need practice.
By the way, it is worth it and makes code more easily reusable because it allows to make small changes to existing code more easily. Although this does not teach you to use frameworks, the logic of thinking in patterns and how to do object oriented programming properly is a very good start.
If you care about money, it is not worth it. But you probably should not have done a PhD either.
If you care about science, a postdoc is ABSOLUTELY GREAT! You will never in your scientific carreer have the opportunity to do so much work by yourself. As soon as you become a lecturer/professor/whatever equivalent your country has you will have to write grant proposals, go to conferences, teach, etc. all getting in the way of science. Given the choice (read: if I can afford it) I take a postdoc position any day above any other academic place.
1. Interactively learning to stab humans may be difficult. I doubt many scientists will volunteer to train the robot and even if they do they would only be able to do a single training session.
2. This article is not interesting at all. They programmed the robot to rotate the knife, and to deal with eggs differently. Only instead of writing a lot of if..then..else.. constructs they used machine learning to do it.
I think the main problem here might be that developers are confusing two things:
1. Actual PCs to do actual work on
2. Tablets and other gadgets
STOP trying to design one single user interface that "works" for both systems: it doesn't. These two devices are different and they are used in different ways. Therefore they should have different GUIs and different software.
You've got a point there but blaming this on the browser having a "lack of options" is unreasonable. Especially since most of the functionality that grashoppa mentions is already available as firefox plugins (as noted by many commenters). That is not +5: insightful, it is -2: did not do any research before posting.
That play icon is a "patch" for something that could have been really fixed by stopping autoplay. It is like first breaking all the windows, turning the heating up because it is too cold and then complaining to the company that installed the heating because it does not heat the house sufficiently.
It's great that youtube is doing this, don't misunderstand me. But it seems to be making up for the lack of options in the browser.
Are you kidding (or trolling?) It would be even easier for Youtube to let you turn off autoplay. That would prevent this problem in the first place.
It is not up to the browser to fix the broken functionality of a website (althouh it is great that many browsers make this is possible).
I don't see the problem. Actually, I would be happy to see all those ad-supported websites disappear (especially those that make you click through 10 pages to read a single article).
If the internet were to become a place where enthusiasts write their weblogs, scientists and hobbyists share results, and some really good content that is worth paying for hides behind paywalls, I do not have a problem with that at all. In fact, it would be a brilliant improvement!
If I go to Burger King, should I complain that they don't have a Big Mac on the menu?
When I go to Google, I go there because I WANT a Google Maps result!
It may be a deterrent for YOUR house, but the burglars will go to your neighbors, forcing them to install alarms (fake or not), etc.
Very profitable indeed!
As mentioned already, RAID is not a backup solution.
Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with using disks that happen to be in a RAID configuration as backup disks. In fact, it is probably a pretty good idea for large files and large amounts of data.
I always suspected that lawyers and managers are often unneccessary. Zuckerburg has shown great leadership in taking this decision without going through the usual (often, but not always useless) trouble. He is taking a risk, and I hope (and think) that it will turn out to be a good decision.
If you are passionate about science like me (I am in my 4th post-doc year in biophysics), do it! But not for the money.
You will spend more time at work than anywhere else, and probably work at home too (because you enjoy it!), so pick a field you love and enjoy it! You will not be as well payed as your friends, but will have enough to live comfortably. Money does not make you happy. But a fun job to go to every day will! If you are good, you will have no trouble finding jobs. And you can always start working for a company if you chance your mind, even after 6 years or so as a postdoc.

Slow small expensive pods: probably a useless idea.
Except for a pub crawl.

Not only the patent system, it seems that the justice system is also in need of an overhaul.

No problem. Just wait until your password gets posted on pastebin.
You would recognise that what I proposed is obviously the latter.
I propose to include these larger crabs in the climate models. Larger crabs --> more carbon fixed (or eaten) --> less CO2 --> less global warming.

Resonant wireless energy transfer was published in Science in 2007 http://www.sciencemag.org/content/317/5834/83.abstract?sid=135a98e9-4946-4b04-ab80-9dab0d9b5bd3
I just hope that they will build a suitable safesearch filter before the entire .xxx domain will be full of science websites and bug reports.
They really didn't do the same thing. The killer app for the iPhone was a decent touch-screen web browser and a very stable OS
I always thought it was angry birds.

But if we call computerized decisions "speech"
Yes. And if we call computers animals that will confuse the hell out of everybody too. What a nonsense.
1. pick a daily activity
2. put the word "electronic" in front of it
3. file for patent
4. profit
