Hi, Yes we are aware and have reached out to them. There are a few more studies out there. One from Stanford and one from Germany too. We're currently working to refine the software and also improve the presentation (there are some mistakes) and write a paper.

We have been working on productizing this for the past couple of weeks.

A bottle neck seems to be that it's not really possible to pool more than at most 32 patients at a time.

It's an early work in progress but have a look: https://www.pcr-pooling.com

We built an app to help lab technicians improve the throughput of COVID-19 test kits. By mixing patient samples and running the machine for a little longer we can significantly improve test throughput, and save reagent.

The technique works similar to a Binary Search Tree. Pool 10 samples together. If any samples were positive subdivide into two groups of 5, and run the tests again. Repeat until done.

We are looking for feedback and improvements that might make this approach more viable in a lab setting. We'll be working continuously to update and improve as feedback comes in.

If you wish to use this in your lab, please get in touch so that we can provide you with a private instance of the application.

So what you're saying is that their compliance and risk teams are on top of their game?

Kava is illegal/regulated in Europe and the UK and therefore the money and account would obviously be frozen pending an investigation.

My wife runs a small research startup in the UK and their clients are almost exclusively based in the developing world (ranging from the likes of Kenya to South Sudan and Myanmar).

They are having difficulties receiving payments from many clients because: * They're a small company so many traditional banks aren't interested in banking them because they perceive risk to be too high (I guess from an AML standpoint?) * TW does not support receiving funds from these countries.

There just doesn't seem to exist a reliable way to receive money from many of these countries. Does anyone know of a solution or bank that offers this kind of service?

I work for one of the companies that partnered with Stripe and have been using Sorbet for ~1 year in prod now (before it was made public).

1. You can migrate class by class or even method by method. 2. You add type support to a method by prefixing it with a special lambda (Sig) that is read at class evaluation. 3. It provides its benefits right away. But really, most value comes from network effects. You won't get type warnings if the method you're calling isnt typed, because the return type cannot then be inferred. 4. No gems are typed right now. We type out type definitions for external dependencies in *.rbi files.

It's funny that you mention typescript because in that sense the two are quite similar. Types are defined either inline or in separate files .rbi/types.d

Opinions in the company are split probably roughly ~60/40 if Sorbet is worth the effort or not with support having a smallish majority.

Yeah, The market is called 'board portals' and it's a comparatively niche product offering. There's a couple of other companies beyond Diligent and Interlinks that offer the service. Board Intelligence is probably the best one imho.

My middle name is my first name, and my given name is my middle name. So it's "Middle Given Surname". It's common where I'm from and on my official identification the given name is usually just underlined. I've had no end of issues since moving to the UK however.

There was a great iOS game back in the day called "One Single Life" or some such. The game had you jump between buildings, and if you ever fell to your death, well then the app stopped working completely. Back then the device id was accessible so you couldn't even reinstall it iirc. It was a great experience to play a game where failure had a real consequence.

Thank you for sharing. I have a 10m old son, who had some complications at birth too (he's well now) and as his condition was comparatively mild I cannot begin to imagine the trials and fears you have gone through. I'm very glad to read that Lucy is doing better now. Best wishes for the future!

Anyone who is in the EU (citizens and not) at the time of using the service. EU citizens living abroad are not covered (unless they are visiting Europe, of course).

Geoblocking is not enough. A user in Europe that bypasses an EU block with a VPN is still covered (this has been explicitly stated).
