Some Garmin watches already have this, Garmin says...

>Accuracy of Wrist-based Pulse Ox

Pulse Oximetry (Pulse Ox) readings are available for certain Garmin wearables. It can provide an estimation of the user’s peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2%) at any given time the feature is accessed. The feature can also be set to track in a continuous manner during a period while the user is asleep. For certain devices, it can also be used to track periodically throughout the day along with a view of the user’s altitude or elevation.

While every effort is made to ensure a high degree of accuracy, there are certain limitations that can cause inaccurate measurements. The user’s physical characteristics, fit of the device, and presence of ambient light may impact the readings. Garmin may release device software over time to improve aspects of the measurements. The Pulse Ox data is not intended to be used for medical purposes, nor is it intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition.

Excessive motion and the position of the device can impact the accuracy of the readings. It is important to keep your arm/sensor still for approximately one minute for best accuracy.
This is why I don't like advertising at all. I can't watch television anymore. Once you have a break, you can gain some sensitivity to how media is trying to manipulate you, and it becomes more distasteful.

You're lucky that you can do that kind of work. I've been working for a state company in Bulgaria and we had to maintain some Scala pipelines built with Apache Spark some years ago. It wasn't a pleasant experience, just a sea of vars/vals and cases of reinventing the wheel only to use some functional constructs when it could be simply done in Java by just adding a dependency that has already solved that problem like 10 years ago. It wasn't even some complicated logic in that, just calling different APIs and playing with dataframes, but the fact that they hid from me so much behavior only to reduce verbosity gave me some stressful days.
While there is plenty to learn, I think there is a difference for a kid taking apart a modern LED TV versus an old CRT, or an old computer versus an iPad.

The concepts used to operate a CRT or VCR or even an older computer would have been easier for me to figure out and poke and prod as a child than newer devices which operate on microscopic scales with everything integrated. I would think a child today would need much more background and reading before they could begin to comprehend what's happening in an iPad versus looking at something that moves, and manipulating it to see what happens. Or at least test things with a multimeter.
Apple did file a billion dollar lawsuit against Samsung on this exact claim.
I worked at Microsoft for a few years and later as a contractor at AT&T for about 2 years. I saw the 2 extremes as far as PMs go.

My PMs at Microsoft were all good at tracking tasks/projects and managing blocking issues. At a minimum they saved me a lot of headache having to answer why a task was late when I was blocked by a dependency. They also had quite a few technical PMs, my brother was actually a PM there before I started after getting his Bachelors and Masters from MIT.

AT&T's PMs were a totally different story. Not only did the PM team outnumber our dev and test teams, most of them were tasked with being product owners for insanely small features. Consider having a PM literally responsible for how a light switch works in home automation, that's the level they broke it down to. Some of the PMs lacked skill or experience, but all were expected to do very little of value and were considered to be successful if they were in meetings nonstop to take notes and give them to the next team in line.

PMs can be vital parts of a tech business, but only when they are given real responsibility and expected to create value rather than countless piles of noted and calendar invites.

As Linus said ARM will only be widely adopted if there is availability of affordable hardware that developers can actually buy.

> ...this is candid scientific study and discussion of upmost importance.

Maybe it is not. Lots of discussions & discourses are going on in another thread actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24476300

As a Chinese myself I appreciate this paper and the bravery of Yan putting herself in the spotlight in the name of science for this somewhat controversial claim with geopolitical implications. I'm no virologist so I can't comment on the claims that the sequence blast indicates the Orf8 protein of ZC45/ZXC21 share 94.2% identity with SARS-CoV-2 Orf8, and that no coronaviruses (discovered so far) share more than 58% identity with SARS-CoV-2 on this protein, etc, as well as the significant of these claims in supporting their thesis.

But after reading myriads of comments on HN and skimming through the paper a few more times, I have to admit the paper itself is not particularly interesting. It may even appear to some as a poorly written scientific paper, or in the words of djaque's, "a political hit piece cosplaying as a scientific article".

And now I find this whole thing much more intriguing from a meta perspective i.e. reading and making sense of people's reactions to the paper, their comments, perspectives, etc.

If we take the claims of zig at face value, then it seems quite a bit of their frustration is around the mistreatment of one of their valued contributors. That alone would seem like worth complaining about; and the rest of the stuff establishes a pattern of misbehaviour.

If all of this is true, I'm glad this gets attention in hn - so that the community as a whole can have insight into what happens sometimes in our subcommunities and know what to look out for.
You have it backwards. The MIT/Expat does required you to retain a copyright notice (in the form of a copy of the license, not in the form of file headers), which Zen does. In addition, creating a derivative work does in fact give you copyright on the new work. The Shakespeare comparison does not apply because Shakespeare is not licensed under the MIT/Expat license.

The worst candidates know the exact way to act in the interview process. Once they're in, it's really difficult to get them out. I've seen some pretty terrible behaviour, all performed absolutely fine in interviews. So much so that I believe that interviews are only useful to establish basic suitability and that most companies should hire loosely with a long probationary period. Employees that don't perform would be let go.
I know that feeling. I've accumulated a small collection of what I think of as "lenses". Simple ideas that help make sense of a lot of otherwise confusing observed human behavior. What I wouldn't give to inject them in the brain of everyone.

(Off the top of my head, a few for me are in-group/out-group behavior, path dependence, sunk cost fallacy, fundamental attribution error, and externalities.)
Isn't all memory falls into that category then? "We are not leaking X bytes per request, we're just avoiding unnecessary free"
It just depends on whether you trust a government or a rich philanthropist to "properly use" capital (get the most impact/$).

If you let billionaires make the choices then sure you get some like Feeney/Gates/Buffett but you get Koch brothers.

Government could theoretically do a more equitable job but only if social programs are run competently. Think about the leadership of EPA and HUD.

Memes App Seeking CTO – ReactNative/NETCore. Previous App Had 12M Users
Our team has developed a new social iPhone App related to MEMES that just started a small beta last week. The initial reception is extremely positive and we are looking for somebody to take over development as we iterate with a small group of beta users until they are absolutely addicted to it. (So far, we've used a few freelancers but would like a full time CTO for quicker development).

The frontend = React Native. The Backend = 9 microservices mainly written in .NetCore3.1, hosted on GKE and uses istio as the service mesh and protocol buffers to communicate within the mesh.

The cofounder has previously developed 3 consumer apps that had over a million users, including one that had over 12 million users and was #1 on the iOS and Android app store and one that was a top 10 facebook app (back when those were a thing :)). This app concept has been strongly validated with initial interactive prototypes and has over 300 people on the waitlist from one small university.

Let me know if you're interested and have experience with that stack and I'm happy to share more about it and demo it for you. If interested, please email evin19347 (at) gmail

Well, if you're working in paid employment it will usually be a lot more effective to put in some more time at work, and give away some of the resulting income. "Donating your time" can of course be genuinely worthwhile if you're, e.g. a scientist who might want to do useful research on globally-relevant, critical issues; just not very much otherwise.
just don't downvote. Instead come up with an open source alternative for Google suite, supporting their workflows, conference integration, fine tuned for short loop feedback (student/teacher) and deployable by any elementary teacher. And tons of Gigabytes of disk space.
Good stuff.

Also of note is tumor heterogenity. Not only are cancers different between cell origin and across different patients, cancer is not one uniform genetic entity even inside a single person.

Why? The cancer's ability to repair DNA mutations is crap, so different chunks of tumor can rapidly evolve different mutations.

You might be able to drug one portion of the tumor based on a fancy receptor/biomarker, but that tumor chunk will get outcompeted by a different cancer blob that doesn't express that.

Hah! I experienced the exact same thing just a month ago. It did build up goodwill between myself and the company that fast tracked me an offer. Thus, some good came out of it.

I don't see how an exploding offer is a good strategy. The kind of people you'll catch with that trick are not the unicorns. Until the exploding-offer, I was a big fan of that company.
Given this is hacker news, hacking something up seems very appropriate. I don't know the author, but it is clear that he is prolific and talented.

This project is very much in the seeking ground phase, so having a bunch of hacks is very appropriate. If it turns out useful, then people will fix things. If it turns out not to be useful, then oh well.

The danger of course if there are show stopping bugs which prohibit the transition from interesting project to useful project.

This does work best but the sensor and light source can be on the same side of the skin using light reflected from within. This probably requires more separation between light source and sensor and some clever algorithms to handle different skin tones and ways of wearing the watch.

I think in this case Garmin does watch features quite well, but the target audience is quite different. For the varieties of fitness tracking, granularity of data, resilient packaging, and battery life, garmin takes the cake. But on the flip side, picture quality and apps are much better on Apple's devices.
I think you are conflating comparative advantage and absolute advantage. As the article explains, comparative advantage is what a country is good at doing, not how good it is compared to other countries. The latter is absolute advantage.

You can be worse than every country on earth at making X, but still have a comparative advantage in making it.

>And while I don't disagree that for some countries that are trying to move up in development, so-called 'sweat shops' can represent a stepping stone forward (2 generations ago, South Korea had plenty of them), the question is how long that's an acceptable excuse?

Understanding comparative advantage helps answer this question. Sweat shops should not be banned by the exporting country as long as it provides a comparative advantage to workers. That is to say, if sweat shops are better than the next best option, they should be allowed. Once better jobs exist for workers, sweatshops should be disallowed. Otherwise, banning them doesn't make replacement jobs, it just pushes workers into worse options.

Changes can also be made on the buyers side to not import products made in sweatshops. This could have positive or negative effects on workers in the exporting country. If the manufacturing country still has an absolute advantage in shirt making after the import ban on sweatshop goods, their people will be better off. If the absolute advantage now goes to another country, the workers will be worse off.
It is very Apple to market a cost cutting move of not including power adapters with their products as an environmental decision. Like it certainly does help the environment, but does anyone actually believe that is the motivating factor?

Landlords should not be allowed to prohibit tenants based on credit or criminal history alone. E.g. "You must have a credit score of X00 to be considered" should be illegal.

Landlords should set criteria for who can be a tenant (perhaps based on income/income assistance/demonstrated ability to pay the rent), and accept the first candidate who meets all the criteria they propose.

Edit: Also, in case it is relevant, I am a property owner who rents out part of their home. I've never run a background or credit check on any of my tenants.

OK, but I was talking about the file headers. :)

Sure, but the new work is the portions that you've changed, not the portions that you've copied, right?

For advertisers, the fact that people that may never click on any banner ad, are blocking the ads on the internet is not a bad thing per se.

Once they got a click, they know that this user does not have an ad blocker so is less tech savvy, and more susceptible to be influenced by marketing.

Click through rates and conversion rates have increased on desktop traffic in the past few fears.

> If you're mentoring a 25 year old you'll have to prove yourself to them every day.

No, you won't. If they don't want to listen to you, they don't have to. As a mentor it's my job to listen to them and guide them with experience as my context, not joust with them over irrelevant, stupid, gotcha contests. And I'm happy to help them realize that just by not engaging in it.
Okay, that makes sense, thank you for clarifying (and good luck, Zig seems like an interesting language).
I think you may be right. I've always hated ads, but never thought about why.

They have never done anything good.

If I need something, I can search for it. If I don't need it, I don't want an ad to try to instill some desire in my heart.

If something is really useful, word-of-mouth is a good way to learn about it.

What would it be like to live in an ad-free society (that still promotes healthy mutually beneficial capitalism)? Is it even possible?
