I read this as 'generate a static website for any backyard' and got excited for some reason. :) gardening?

“When you hear someone say the words "Let's just take a basic calculation and extrapolate it out", you're about to be standing on shaky ground.

Especially when what they're doing isn't actually extrapolation, it's statistical inference using a sample that's not random.

Context: I just watched a video where an urgent care doctor took the % of people testing positive, multiplied it by the total state population, inferred the total number infected across the state, divided the number of deaths by this, & then told people their odds of dying.

You can't say that 12% of the entire population has contracted COVID-19 just because 12% of the people tested are positive if the vast majority of those being tested have symptoms. Healthy people are underrepresented in that sample.

That would be like trying to estimate the percent of the entire population that's vegetarian by only surveying people at an In-n-Out burger joint. I mean the fries are great and everything, but…”

Someone needs to start developing the next version of Credit Karma right now.

It is going to stagnate just like Mint. :(

I love timelapses of things that were made. Wish all creation tools natively supported creating them.

Timelapse of a Sketch doc.

Timelapse of a code repo.

Timelapse of a painting.

We used SQLite at my company to allow users to write SQL queries against their db. When we hit the limit of it, we had to switch to Postgres. That migration is quite difficult and I wish we had used Postgres from the start. 20/20 hindsight but that was my first thought.

I played Gizoms and Gadgets. Fun game.

Is there a widely known name for these types of 'explorable explanations'?

I agree. It is jarring each time I see it. Might be able to get use to it but definitely question the choice.

Which book?

I am trying DuckDuckGo for a week.

I doubt this does anything.

Reason is none of these words actually appear in the tweet body. It is not 'mute meta data about tweets' it is 'mute words' which presumably only are in the tweet body.

You can't mute tweets 'Sent from Android' why would you be able to mute tweets based on Twitters internal meta data?

Direct quote from Twitter "Hi Ian, muting these keywords won't actually change the number of suggested Tweets in your timeline. We are exploring ways to improve suggestions to allow you to further customize your timeline. More to come!" source - https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/122087242860531712

what are the four versions that already exist?

Interested if you can find that.

Very cool. Never really considered how new characters were added. Thanks for sharing!

Where do you source the data? Looking at Google Trends, the graphs don't match up at all with your graphs, so I assume you have another data source that you prioritize.

I emailed Bluehost, this is the response I got.

Hello Joshua,

Has anyone asked for a comment from any of these companies? Seems like a big security problem.

How did you get the idea?

Did you validate it, or just build it?

The branding of this is on point. Well done.

This seems very cool. Nice work!

I like the idea. Having symbols is hard because you have to know the generally accepted name for that symbol in order to tell it to someone.

This seems like a very bad thing.

This is super cool. Thanks for taking the time to explain it!

How would you want them to regulate these app stores? Make it easier for apps to get approved? The reason iOS doesn't deal with as many privacy issues, and malicious apps is because Apple has a strict review process no?

Sometimes the simpler answer is best. I was comparing tool, and using technology analyzers. ️Thanks!

This is disappointing if true. I found Pioneer to be very helpful with motivation. I am working on a project right now and submitting updates.

I think the marketing campaigns are awesome. Makes it much easier to get resources to fix.

I would disagree.

Whenever I see statements with absolute statements like anything, nothing, always, never, I question them.

We all stand on the shoulders of giants. So what we do is impressive for when we do it. What those in the past do is impressive for when they did it.

and those who live in London doesn't allow enough houses to be build to lower the cost?

Glyphosate is commonly detected at these low levels in both organic and non-organic foods. In fact, the minuscule levels of these chemicals that were detected in both the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger were less than 1/1000 the limit set by EPA for glyphosate residue in dried pea (8,000 ppb) and soybeans (20,000 ppb), respectively. They were even almost 100-fold lower than the glyphosate limits set by USDA for ORGANIC certification of pea protein (400 ppb) and soy protein (1,000 ppb) - ie, the glyphosate levels measured in both products would easily pass the glyphosate-residue requirements for organic certification of soybeans or peas, respectively. What does 11.3 ppb [=11.3 ug/kg] mean in terms of how much glyphosate plus AMPA would be present in one 4-oz.(113g) serving of Impossible Burger? The answer is 1.3 micrograms [11.3 ug/1000g x 113g]. This is almost 1000 times lower than the no significant risk level for glyphosate ingestion (1100 micrograms per day) set by California Prop 65. The safe daily limits for glyphosate exposure set by FAO/WHO and the EPA are much higher.

Well said.
