The reason I want to know first whether a startup is default alive or default dead is that the rest of the conversation depends on the answer. Half of founders don't know whether they're default alive or default dead.

New software sifts through the information gathered in long forgotten studies and finds new avenues for researchers to pursue—like a new advance in treating spinal injuries. Doctors have just discovered a previously unknown relationship between the long-term recovery of spinal cord injury victims and high blood pressure during their initial surgeries.

Just remember if you test 10k random hypothesis you'll end up several hundred 2 sigma false positives (95% confidence level), several dozen 3 sigma false positives (99.7% confidence level), and a good chance of a 4 sigma false positive (1 in 16k odds).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Oct 15 Yahoo's next step in password security is to eliminate them altogether.
Starting on Thursday, the company announced, users of the Yahoo Mail app on both iOS and Android will have access to a new service called Yahoo Account Key, which uses smartphones to verify identities in lieu of traditional passwords. But we'll still need to enter a password on our phone to access the service...

Very cool, seeing as though I haven't used yahoo since the 1990's, I probably don't need a password anyway.

The US wireless regulator (FCC) only seems to have figured that out recently, and is not happy with your ability to boost the signal power excessively on such devices. The FCC proposed changes to regulations, with one document suggesting it may ban or restrict third-party software altogether.

"The palm-sized sequencer gives researchers the power to analyse DNA almost anywhere, and could help track disease outbreaks, run checks on food, and combat the trafficking of endangered animals.
The gadget marks a major step towards what Mark Akeson, a co-inventor at the University of California Santa Cruz, called "the democratisation of sequencing", where anyone can gather and process DNA samples for themselves.
... The 10cm-long, 90g device, named MinION by its British developers, Oxford Nanopore, has already been used by some scientists. In April, a team in Guinea read the genomes of 14 Ebola samples within 48 hours of them being taken from patients. Early next year, astronauts are due to use gadget to read DNA for the first time on the International Space Station." [^]
"Are you sure you can hack it ?"
"Sure."
"She'll never know ?"
"Not unless she gets another Minion."
"Okay, I've got the cash."
"Small bills, like I asked ?"
"Yeah."

We've all become used to the idea of ads online -- it's something that has become part and parcel of using the internet -- but in Windows? If you've updated to build 10565 of Windows 10, you're in for something of a surprise: the Start menu is now being used to display ads. Oh, great... ಠ_ಠ

I'm on that release and don't see any adverts. Do you think the author has the "Windows Store" live tile showing..?

Upon closer inspection of the article I found this line. Looks like you're safe (for now).

Reason #1 to not install W10. What bullshit. So, besides all the other things it does consuming bandwidth, it now also downloads ads.

That's it: I'll download it only after is has been thoroughly cracked, AND I'll set up an external firewall.
