"A 2018 New York Times data analysis based on public race results uploaded to Strava, the athlete-tracking and networking company, found that runners in Vaporflys ran 3 to 4 percent faster than similar runners wearing other shoes." This doesn't seem causal... Runners that were on average going to be 4 percent faster than the population mean anyway may also be runners that like buying the latest and greatest vaporflys. With that being said, I would have trouble designing an experiment though

Buying developers via github seemed focused toward JS. I went to [0] to prove it but turns out Java is the second most popular language on GitHub projects

Thank you for writing that out!

I’m guessing the problem is in the capital cost of having a generator system installed. Getting procurement, university real estate/capital projects, a general contractor, and any deans/admin involved to build the system.

I have just assumed that all science buildings had backup generators by default. Movies may have tricked me. I think all hospitals are required to though, which makes sense why the researcher moved his metabolic stuff to UCSF

"we report the accuracy of our models on the three different tasks, on a holdout test set composed of 5000 equations."

I had trouble finding the test cases they used. Where'd they list them?

You mentioned you were working in css. Here are some fun resources https://flexboxfroggy.com/ https://flukeout.github.io/

interesting read. Here's how I understand the outline

* transition version control to Git

* Removed commented out blocks

* Add clang-format to the codebase

* remove support for old operating systems

* fix clang warnings and memory bugs

* reorganize sections of code changing behavior minimally

* add unit tests

* update compiler to clang++

* refactor and add new functionality

Google Cloud Blog article title: Elevating user trust in our API ecosystem

$15k+ barrier refers to a mandatory security assessment fee -- see "How will the security assessment work?" on the FAQ

I want to see an analysis that turns the $60 million into price per play. how many times a person with a Casette/CD would listen to it over the life of the medium. radio deals and how many people heard it on the radio each deal. What other avenues are there? Commercials? $60,000,000/(2018-1994+1)/(25 days before Christmas) = $96,000 for each day in leading up to Christmas And what are the current numbers for listening share? What percentage is spotify compared to radio, tv, youtube, itunes, owned media? Also curious about how to compare the value for owning the cd,digital copy, etc. v. listening on spotify? A cd is $10? which would give me only a month of Spotify? But then expand that to my entire media collection and then I wonder where it breaks even--10% of my time?

Current Spotify premium user because I like the curated playlists

sounds very helpful

the article mentions wait for them to be disrupted. but how can that happen when they seem to acquire any threat?

my jaw literally dropped at 3:12. https://youtu.be/laApNiNpnvI?t=192 I still can't figure out how they managed to get the camera quality/resolution in '91. I'm guessing that it's just an image rather than conversion to text if it's a paragraph. [edit] what happens is copy and paste from a book on the desk to the computer clipboard. where the opposite corners of the physical screenshot are defined by two fingers creating a rectangle screenshot area

I generally agree. I'd like the same search to return the same results. But I bet there are things I'd be willing for it to be different. I can only think of 'food near me' though

I started using DDG and Firefox after Chrome v69. I couldn't always find what I needed with DDG so I use g! when the search doesn't cut it (~20% of the time) but for the other 80% it's great. I've loved some unique features like the stack overflow first answer integration.I also noticed a big increase in Google advertising recently. Ads in the Gmail app and new types of ads--shopping ads below the YouTube video above the description and movie poster type ads on the right panel of some movie trailers. I bet their ad revenue in the next quarter is going to increase significantly. Is there a new person in charge or new decisions in place to serve more ads? (sorry about the Google search heavy comment but DDG revenue generation got me thinking about Google revenue)

anybody want to form a long term study group?

I love that this simulator exists. super stressful

I like the idea of a universal addressing system but I don't think we've found the solution yet to this extremely difficult problem.

Street addressing is nice because the addresses with the same street name are on the same street organized by number. (generally at least--there are example of streets that stop/restart) And the numbering is collinear with the direction of travel. i.e. I walk along the street. And I know I'll pass 11XY to get to 12XY.

what3words was interesting but the words for the squares don't seem to be related to each other. From one square, I'd like to be able to generate the addresses of all the adjacent squares. (///jumped.spring.improving directly next to ///book.groups.hiking) and I can't generalize a larger square of w3w squares with an overarching set of words or something

playing around with the plus codes, they seem to increment in a consistent way but I haven't figured out how e.g. (a random example) W->E: _+HJV _+HJW _+HJX _+HMR N->S: _+HMJ _+HMC _+HM6 _+HM2

I also like that I can change the address reference box size based on how many letters I have after the plus sign. In case I want to reference my front door versus my entire city.

It'd be much easier filling out addresses in forms because I could type less info. But it'd be hard for me to associate a string on number letters to an area just in everyday life. Market St or Powell st carries more with it. And is streets aren't directly aligned with the boxes then that poses a difficulty.
