I'm a little surprised only 9 of the 302 articles appear to focus on marketing. For anyone looking for marketing specific guidance, we've got a lot of free materials on our blog: https://www.reifyworks.com/writing

We've helped 80+ developer-focused companies over the last few years as a consultancy, after our careers as founding marketing leaders.

The Heavybit Library is also really incredible, with lots of video content (transcribed, searchable) with a similar focus to what's here. https://www.heavybit.com/library/

Bias doesn't happen in physics. Bias happens where humans and physics interact.

> Medical personnel are trained to account for this

Medical personnel aren't the only people who use pulse oximeters and need them to read reliably. Beyond that, this thread and the article it discusses are full of examples of why "medical personnel are trained" isn't enough of an answer here.
Not biological but technological innovation and medicine has enabled us to increase our survival rate in adverse conditions.
It's not the ISP who's fighting the lawsuit, it's the FCC. So your glorious tax money is funding this.

I wouldn't regard Safari as evergreen, and it's also probably the most behind* (or they just outright refuse to implement) some APIs

* of the modern browsers.

edit: I'd like to clarify the reason I don't regard Safari as evergreen is it's tied to iOS versions. Enough users still use iOS 12 and 11
I was driving though Nebraska a few months ago and there were so many fireflies it looked like a scene out of Avatar.
Wall Street has decreed that capitalism must go on at all costs. That requires workers to show up to work. That requires that workers don't need stay home to watch kids. And that requires that kids not be at home during business hours.

Few believe that this is the right thing to do. Powerful businesspeople believe it's the profitable thing to do. So, here we are.

Characterizing this as a "fight between Microsoft and the entire genetics community" is... a choice. But I guess Tech is this season's "big bad", so every subplot has to tie back.
I don't think the arrangements are equiprobable. Well-distributed, likely.

Heuristically, there are a finite number of outputs of a riffle shuffle (probably fairly large; basically the number of different ways that you can clump cards together, 52^20 or thereabouts). But any finite number of outputs raised to the 7th power is not going to divide 52 factorial, in terms of the number of output possibilities.

Hackers use homoglyph domains and favicons for card skimming
Hackers abuse lookalike domains and favicons for credit card theft using a variation of older Magecart technique. This time they throw in homograph domains.
Using Docker Desktop (which I believe runs Docker in a Linux VM - basically a friendly version of when when it was Docker Machine), with different containers - RabbitMQ, EMQ, Postgres, Minio, lots of our own images. I haven't used it for perhaps 6-9 months, but it was never fun - would grind the whole macbook to a painful pace.

If there's some kind of alternative for MacOS now, I'm keen to know more.
There is no support for newer nvidia gpus on Mojave and newer; not even this script can help, correct me if i'm wrong.

Where is the power to regulate intrastate ISP commerce granted to the federal government?

A good hackintosh litmus test is "Am I using a vanilla macOS install with SIP enabled?".

If yes, it's a good indicator you're going the right path.

If no, there be dragons.

There's been litigation about this kind of issue all over the country for years (disciplinary action by public schools against students for their off-campus speech about the schools) and the students commonly win, although the legal rules can be complicated in comparison to rules about adults' speech.

There's also a common pattern where school administrations don't seem to know much about earlier court decisions about students' rights. The Supreme Court said back in 1943 that public school students couldn't be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_State_Board_of_E...

but I remember in 1997 meeting a girl who had been disciplined for not saying it at her public school, and hers was far from the last case.

These students could probably get pro bono legal representation and send a demand letter to the principal over this. [Edit: because of the social media aspect, the students could contact the intake coordinator at EFF, where I used to work, and they could likely get a helpful legal referral.]

Although I hope the students' speech rights will be fully vindicated, I notice that I also have more empathy for school administrations than I used to. Public school administrators have a ton of responsibility, many angry constituents with opposing views, few resources, and lots of complicated legal constraints, and are not necessarily experts on all the issues that will come up unexpectedly.

This is awesome. Auth is such a pain and one of the biggest perks of Firebase for me. Could you share more details on why you decided to go with GoTrue? I’m interested in how it stacked up against the alternatives you looked at.

It isn't entirely fair to compare iOS and Android update models.

A lot of stuff on Android is delivered directly by the Play store/services, for many years after the end of OS updates for a particular device.
I recall many years back a website, I think a Microsoft project, that linked together photos in a 3D space of tourist destinations. It created something of a point cloud, but nothing this advanced. You could click through the points/photos to jump into each photos perspective of the space.

Anyone remember what that project was called, or if it is even still around?

Edit:
Found it. http://phototour.cs.washington.edu/
Later the discontinued. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynth
If the study is true, why do you suppose that right-leaning folks don’t think the same way?
Yes, I mostly meant that I don't get a great sense of "how many photos there are" in these datasets.

I saw in the paper their citation [13] pointed to https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.01587.pdf, which in section 3 says the following:

We thus build on 25 collections of popular landmarks
originally selected in [48,101], each with hundreds to thousands of images.

So hundreds to thousands of photos are used, which is a decent quantity, but definitely makes the quality of the result very impressive.
I have doubts that classes could be effectively conducted outdoors in Georgia. The heat index is 93F/34C with 59% humidity as I’m writing this comment. This isn’t Northern California where people can start companies in a garage year round.
> Would be great if the TS definitions could be generated automatically

We're working on this! Watch this space

> Do you have the concept of ephemeral data

Everything is persisted right now, so the realtime functionality probably wont' be great for tracking things like mouse positions. Not sure if we will ever support ephemeral data, but we really just go where our users ask us. If there's enough demand, we'll build
Why shouldn't China ban Tesla?
* Tesla collects tick-by-tick driving data from Chinese Tesla drivers.

* Tesla knows and has access to the identity of their chinese drivers and where they are traveling to, tick by tick.

* Tesla performs OTA updates initiated from their HQ in the US, directly to their Chinese drivers' cars.

* Tesla EVEN proposes to drive their cars automatically, without human intervention!

Why shouldn't China ban tesla?
Maybe, but it's hardly a unique take:

"Critics of HOAs have attacked them as a “tool for exclusion” that can encourage racial segregation. There’s no available data on the race of the owners of each particular house, so Clarke and Freedman couldn’t test this accusation directly. But they did compare the racial demographics of neighborhoods with or without HOAs, and found that neighborhoods with HOAs tended to be richer and less racially diverse."

The low cost can definitely drive the wrong design. But if a redo is being done, it's an opportunity to turn down power levels, use better shielding, etc. Modern LED lights can provide the same visual acuity at both less power as well as less lux, and with less light spillover.
Can you give an example of a threat model that would warrant it?
This is really cool and IMHO an area where ML truly shines: being able to disentangle the base geometric signal from lighting / crowds / occlusion via learning is truly amazing.
If the parent is on board with the kid staying home, they could call the kid in sick, right?
Can you recommend a guide to do this?
I'd hardly call it injustice. Anything based on light is going to be variable depending on skin tone (or, as other have mentioned, darkened skin for any reason).

The only thing you could claim injustice for would be if there was no other mechanism for measuring blood oxygen other than something that was known to not work properly for people of color.

I know that in NYC a number of restaurants I liked have gone out of business because they couldn't handle the increasing cost of rent as building owners look at how much place like Apple are willing to pay for prime shopping locations.

Extremely dense areas like NYC are places where this seems like it might actually be the most cost effective not only because the high cost of rent but because you could have multiple kitchens to reduce the distance delivery drivers have to travel...and these kitchens wouldn't need to be in the prime shopping locations.

But I doubt it is going to be as big of a benefit in places like Oklahoma City, Omaha, Houston, etc.
I've seen this come up several times and this article is 4 years old. Does anyone know if anything has changed since then?
The problem with this logic, of course, is that it assumes somebody has a right to not be infected while in a public area. That "somebody" is also in a public area, so the risk is entirely by their own choice. They don't know who could be infected, but they're out in public anyways. The responsibility for the risk that "somebody" undertakes cannot simply be laid at a different person's feet.
Then they go home to their parents and sometimes grandparents.
no these are not meaningless names, there is undue confusication in the case of the more contemporary names such as [Sonichedgehog]

these are not meaningless lables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hedgehog

mentioned eslewhere in this thread is a nomenclature that allows one to easily find notes referring to the gene from your research library. It was a new cadre of young upcoming scientists that decided to break with tradition and use something familiar to lable genes according to game characters or pop icons.

I really like the open source approach. I hope you guys don't limit necessary features like few of the other tools in this area to saas model.

Really neat to see elixir shining. :)

Feature request time:

Firebase don't really have rate limiting (unless you want to implement it with after and make a mess). That would be neat to have.

Analytics. Don't need anything too complex. I can't use analytics part of firebase because that's blocked by many browsers and increasing. Plus, I don't like sharing data with cough.
I worked in a Neuroscience lab as an undergrad research assistant for several years. My first year in particular involved a lot of cell counting and rat care.

There was a large room for housing rats for all of the labs in the building - mostly Sprague Dawley, which are very well studied at this point and chosen because they're easy to care for. The room was nowhere near 20 - 26C. It felt like walking into a fridge.

I think there are more problems than just the temperature that rats are kept at.

There are requirements for minimum standards of housing for animals - every university that does animal experimentation is required to have a LAR (lab animal resources) officer who verifies compliance. But researchers have to be frugal with money (even grad students are expected to live on a 20-30k research stipend), so they really do the bare minimum. Cages are as small as they can be, and rats are housed in pairs so that they can socialize, but their cages are almost barren. They're required to have some form of environmental enrichment, which means a little wooden rod in every cage that they can play with and chew.

It's frustrating to think that there are probably many studies that have been impacted by not studying "normal" rats. We're studying specific research breeds of stressed rats who're trapped in little boxes for their whole lives. It'd be like if you studied humans who've been trapped in their apartments for the last 4 months and assumed normal psychology and physiology.
What an argument... Kids live with people that arent kids, and spread that way. Are you being disingenuous on purpose?
The other danger is when those who understand scientific scrutiny downplay a situation because we don't have the data yet, it becomes ammo for others to cherry pick to support their own beliefs which are firmly not grounded on the scientific method.

Just like the mask "debate" in this country, avoiding scenes like that school hallway have a very big _potential_ benefit, while only requiring a simple change in behavior to avoid.
I left four years ago. I miss the city, but housing for five persons is way too expensive there. I work in the city though. Long commute but modest mortgage.
Contrary to your view, I have a Pixel 2 XL and the battery is still stupendous. My only disappointment is how long it takes to charge on an old style, 500ma-1amp charger.

Did you leave in plugged into the AC adapter overnight? anecdotally that killed my previous phones and there's also (anecdotal?) evidence that it isn't great for it.

Have you checked what apps are eating all the battery? On older phones, newer versions of certain apps seemed to turn them into pocket warmers, getting stuck in a tight CPU loop and efficiently turning 3000mAh into heat at about 5 watts
I'd love to hear the war stories about the network capacity plan violations that were involved here. There's no way they had 30x headroom in their 90-day capacity forecast. The organizational ability to reach in and shuffle up the network capacity allocations may be even more interesting than the technical items discussed here.
I've personally never lived in an HOA (and would refuse to move into one), but the best ones, from what I've heard of through friends and family, are those that are hands-off, namely:

1) Optional -- This puts the onus on the HOA to actually serve its residents, because if enough people dislike it enough to leave (after, say, a few elected residents go on a power trip), it will collapse.

2) Give access to neighborhood amenities (e.g. a pool or clubhouse)

3) Provide neighborhood services (e.g. snow removal or tree trimming, extra trash collection)

4) Are NOT in the business of mandating minutiae such as grass length, paint color, approving remodel plans, handing out fines, etc

5) Are NOT part of a private developer's subdivision (usually goes hand in hand with point 4) so much as a collection of residents which formed organically

Basically, I like the idea of HOAs if they're more similar to Los Angeles's Neighborhood Councils than LAPD: Home Edition (although, for so many other reasons, I think LA's Neighborhood Councils are unrepresentative and ineffective at serving the wider community's best interest so much as they benefit exclusively the homeowner's interest). Otherwise, I strongly believe they cause more harm than good -- not to mention they can easily be weaponized against a minority homeowner moving into a majority-white community.

Unfortunately, it seems like HOAs as described above are in the vanishing minority.
A recent project I worked on b2c, online insurance quotes, the audience is 25-50 ish. Previous analytics were indicating only a small single-digits percentage, but the customer wanted it anyway.

Google and Microsoft lost me when I built a hackintosh on a Thinkpad X1 and my iPhone from work started syncing with it without me doing anything at all. Handoff, personal Hotspot, Airdrop, iMessage, continuity and all that working automatically is something google is very far from achieving with Microsoft.

I’ll keep a windows desktop for gaming, but once Apple settles down through its processor changes I might just get a personal iPhone and a MacBook Pro
Not sure about the hate here, I like my Pixel 4. Its lighter compared to latest iPhones. I had an iPhone XR earlier and my hands use to hurt and since I changed to P4, the pain is gone. Sure, the battery is not that great but its not terrible either and I end up charging my phone overnight anyways (I use to do that with an iPhone as well.) I have never had a single issue with my P4 so far and I ll mostly likely use it until it gets updates. Camera is fantastic, the phone runs smoothly and I enjoy the small nice features like it recognizes music playing near by (without sending any data back to Google.) I even use the hand gestures supported by Soli and I hope they expand on it in future.
Yeah but they could also seek that out on their own without an HOA.
Also usable here should be in pretty big quotes. The phone didn't die and turn off, but it didn't get much done either. It could possibly still make phone calls

People that are just decent programmers can make at least twice (probable 3 or 4 times) as much money working for industry than for science in an academic environment. Most programmers that would work for less money because they are interested in science will be more interested in computer programming problems than basic programming to support a scientist. NSF won't give you $250k to hire a really good programmer to support your gene analysis project. More like 100k if you are lucky.

So what you end up with are that great scientists that are decent programmers are the ones who can do the cutting edge science at the moment.
