  • To save HN some time, he quits at 14:30

  • For HN readers, the quitting part is not the best part of the talk. So don't just jump to 14:30 and watch that. The main point is to think about working on problems that are useful for society.

  • Couldn't Google just reverse-engineer the genome of different cat breeds?

    That way, everyone's happy.

  • ...

  • Such a badass

  • I WILL GO WITH YOU JERRY MAGUIRE.

  • @ericgjertsen he ignores political struggle because he's a West Coast techie. There's something in the air out there that makes techies believe they can Save the World through "innovation".

    Signed, an East Coast techie with a heavy interest in politics. OCCUPY WALL STREET!

  • Sir, on the subject of the human genome, BIOLOGY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT!

  • I want this video on my VK4100 unit.

  • I'm impressed with his verbal reparte and delivery. What I gleaned from this lecture is how mobile devices, advertising and social networks contribute greatly to social engineering.

  • There are too many bioinformaticists and not enough bio wetlabbers. Because working with computers is too easy relative to working with living systems. We've data mined the heck out of the world's DNA and it's still not quite enough. Because we're only blindly manipulating data and not THINKING about the data.
