I wonder how bad the yields are and how long it'll take to get them up to being commercially viable.

Have you even met Americans? We're terrible at this kind of thing.

I moved across the world (from Perth, WA) to work on open source software with some of my heroes (Bud Tribble, Andy Hertzfeld, Susan Kare) at Eazel. It was only a short time run, but I'm still in the Bay Area, still friends with many of the people I met there.

And I still use the software that I worked on at Eazel most days, which I can't say for anything I worked on since then.

I thought it might have been Square Kilometer Array interference but that's to the north of those spots.

Maybe the board members are worried about going to jail for running a 501(c)3 that's behaving like a for profit company?

This is something I've dreamed about doing in one form or another since I was a teenager almost 30 years ago.

But the best thing about this story is the video "Without the Xylophone" - a terrifying robotic bed of nails.

These exploits are weapons. Look at what governments pay for weapons. That's hard to compete with.

We were just talking about Kurt Cobain's death from suicide with my daughter with CF. We'll take the meds thanks.

There's a theory that having a single CF mutation can help combat the effects of cholera.

Not having to deal with insurance & copay shenanigans for my daughter's CF meds is one of the things that keeps me at the large tech company I work at...

My 8yr old daughter has been on Kalydeco (one of the active compounds in Trikafta) since it was approved and it means she'll live a fairly similar life to her twin sister, health wise. We only have to do airway clearance treatment when she's sick. It's crazy for me to think what a different life shed have had even being born a decade before.
