While I completely agree that these questions need to be asked, the public doesn't appear to have issues giving out social data everywhere. E.g., what if we took your questions and replaced "genetic" with "social"?

I admire and applaud your endeavor and hope that we see more disease-specific communities sprout in the near future. I attended the Consumer Genetics Conference last year ( http://www.consumergeneticsshow.com/CGC2010.html ) and heard Rolf B

Disclaimer: my father is a seismologist. It is near 0% likely that the Colorado earthquake and Virginia earthquake are related as VA and CO are on different faults. It's not 0% because, quite frankly, it's hard to model the earth. This wiki

Depends on "affordable". Current bulk prices are about $5000 per genome though the coverage can vary. Here's the price per genome for the last decade: http://www.genome.gov/sequencingcosts/ and an explanation: http://singularityhub.com/2

Nope. At least one claim was rejected. * The appeals court ruled against Myriad in another part of the case, however. The court said that Myriad’s patent claims on the process of analyzing whether a patient’s genes had mutations that rais

Correct title should have been: Why I would have left twitter if I were Biz Stone. The article has no sources, only mentions Biz by name twice in the content, and uses "he" (as a reference to Biz) only twice in the closing paragraph. The mo

@andywood, Can you take a moment tomorrow and add an edit to your post giving a summary of whether you felt the comments answered your questions? I ask simply because my first read of your post focused on "How do I get there?" and not "what

Expanding on your advice: when diversifying it helps to not throw darts. It may be best to not have investments only in tech, auto, health, etc., but it's quite another to randomly choose a company or two in different sectors. Unsolicited a

FWIW, this comment: "The api design functions on the simple idea of having a "GET" request act as a discovery mechanism while "POST" requests perform operations and searches -- much like how most websites function." should make its way into

Since the Twitter service is free, the "only" money to be made is in the displaying of the content. I believe this is recognized by UberMedia and also by Twitter and the cause for the "kill-switch." IMO, Twitter should charge $0.001 per twe

I'll go one step further and emphatically state "this isn't his entire genome." Additionally, this data could be radically improved if his phenotype was also included. Just because we know that the marker says "AA" without the correlating i

Can you clarify what you mean by "70-90% of the speed of generated C++"? Suppose that the generated C++ takes 1.0 seconds. Does your implementation take 0.7-0.9s or 1.7-1.9s or something else?

Three tries seems about right. FWIW: the second version has an actual name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect The problem I've been running into is that my second version took 1 month to reach 80% "complete" and is taking

If you separate the syntax from the semantics, you'll see that the GET request (syntax) is merely the mechanism of accessing the appropriate function (semantics). If you reread the short article after deleting all the junk about REST and Co

FWIW: I created an AppEngine-based webapp ( http://www.gnaught.com ) to keep track of blacklisted domains and uses Google's "-site:" options in the search query. It was a weekend-project to learn about AppEngine and Python.

If I understand correctly, your basic assumption is that a developer only needs access to the configuration options. Essentially, a developer isn't going to hack the code, they just modify the package configuration as needed. I think this w

Fantastic idea; wish I had thought of it. I'm very curious to see how efficient your "glue" code is between the components. It's one thing to have a modular hands-off system, it's often another to have that system perform reasonably well. W

Another option is the use of API keys that are separated into two types -- partners and end-users. The partner API keys would be bound to a particular end-point (e.g., the IP address of the web server) while the end-user API key could be us

I would find it very helpful to have a little blurb on the "Submit" page detailing how to submit to the different subpages (e.g., "ask", "jobs", "offers"). From what I can tell, submissions are automagically placed into the different subpag

From what I can tell, I think it depends on if you want to be able to access the project later. If you don't, then I would recommend using DELETE /project/1234 with { archived: true} as an option. If you want to view the project later, then

This makes sense. When I used elance, I set up milestones and even added payouts to early milestones in the hopes of enticing early and often deliverables. Alas, everything slipped. One thing I've noticed about my own management philosophy
