Move by Dos Rios // Move is a technology garment designed by Electricfoxy that guides you toward optimal performance and precision in movement in an ambient, precise, and beautiful way. From daily activities to sports activities to expressive movement, it provides a softer, poetic, and more personal approach to physical performance that helps you eleviate incorrect physical movements, which can lead to chronic pain or even long-term damage. The more precise you can move, the faster you improve your fitness and overall health. The Move experience consists of a wearable technology garment and mobile app. The garment includes 4 stretch and bend sensors located in the front, back and sides. Together, they read your body’s position and muscle movement, assess whether it is correct, and provide real-time feedback to correct it through haptic feedback components located in the hips and shoulders. A mobile app allows you to assess, manage and customize your experience.

The current way in which we do science is plagued by many fundamental problems.
One of them is that we don’t do enough replications. There are many reasons for this. While everyone agrees that it is crucially important for science as a whole to do so, the individuals who would have to do the work have very few incentives (and actually quite a few disincentives) not to replicate. This is a tragedy of the commons scenario. The question is what to do about it. I think this won’t change until the incentive…

It’s the incentive structure, people! Why science reform must come from the granting agencies.
Reblogged from The File Drawer:
Another day, another New York Times report on bad practice in biomedical science. The growing problems with scientific research are by now well known: Many results in the top journals are cherry picked, methodological weaknesses and other important caveats are often swept under the rug, and a large fraction of findings cannot be replicated. In some rare cases, there is even outright fraud.

Really liked this book.
Really liked this book. Like Anthony Horowitz I’ve always liked Sherlock Holmes, perhaps it is because my mother joked that I was related to the sleuth. Or because I visited 221B Baker Street as a child. In any case… Google+ makes sharing on the web more like sharing in real life. Learn more. Join Google+ |

Just Finished Reading: The House of Silk #sherlock #holmes #books
Like Anthony Horowitz I’ve always liked Sherlock Holmes, perhaps it is because my mother joked that I was related to the sleuth. Or because I visited 221B Baker Street as a child. In any case I am much enamored with the genius of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and as have been disappointed with many other tributes to the creator. And I was shocked whet James Randi revealed in his book that Doyle was a firm believer in the fairies of Cottingley Glen.
The House of Silk is an enthralling book, filled with the subterfuge which can be expected from a Holmes tale. It combines two overlapping stories and can be placed in the middle of the canonical Holmes series. It touches on subjects which, although they would not be out of place in Victorian Britain, might not be expected in a Holmes story. Standing on its own the novel is good, and seems well researched. As an amateur nitpicker I would have loved to find a inconsistency or glaring error, and didn’t.
It certainly can be called a good Holmes novel.

Colgate-Palmolive paying customers with coupon offer #oops #fail

Oops!
By combining coupons and supermarkets’ own promotions, savvy shoppers were getting Palmolive’s hand wash for free or being paid to buy it.

Friends don’t let their friends photocopy coupons #fraud [UPDATE]
|
The coupon issuers may print in the fine print that they are void if copied and that any other usage constitutes fraud all they want, if the retailer accepting the coupon thought it was in anyway important they would ensure that the don’t allow invalidated coupons to be passed as valid. In many store they scan the coupon and verify its validity, just like they verify that the money you pass is not counterfeit.
It’s easy to blame the consumer for “misuse” of the system, and in designing the system they are making this kind of behavior easy. And when they fail to address this to the liking of the retailer they will probably cause mistrust of their coupons by certain retailers.
They should take this as a signal that they should make their system more robust rather than punish the consumers. This is why I much prefer solutions such as NFC for coupons.

Would You Glue a Smart Card to Your Cellphone? #nfc

In an attempt to kickstart the electronic cash revolution Barclays Bank in the U.K. is giving customers stick-on cards for their phones. There is a hint of desperation about the move.

Nice article!
We all suck at estimating, regardless of how experienced we are. This is a fact that you should accept. Most of us are either ignorant to this or in denial. There are many ways we try to hide our inad…

What’s wrong with ICT Managers?

What’s wrong with ICT Managers?
I read this post and immediately agreed with its assessment on the state of ICT, and ICT management. Not that ICT managers are suspect, just that the fruits of their labour often does not stand up under scrutiny. This can be where Agile, SCRUM or XP methodologies fill the gaps. And it’s not what they were made for, they are not a stopgap for bad ICT management. #agile #scrum #xp A great post by my friend Adrianus Warmenhoven A day ago I read PHP: A fractal of bad design, and it made me sit down and think about writing this entry, of which the kernel has been gestating for quite a long time. I see this a lot; pro’s ra…
