A Google Play policy that enforces this in other apps would be the next step.

There may well be subcellular problems that cause all kinds of bad-health, but not being well-mixed is not one of them. Movement at the level of sports won't cause well-mixed cells - their fundamental frequencies are too different.

We basically already know how viral viruses are because they undergo mutations, and we can trace which strain people have and where they caught it from by sequencing their DNA (technically RNA) and looking for the virus's "ancesto

The meta study does not "[show] medical masks had no effect", it shows that we have limited evidence for it: "Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence

The keyword you may be interested in is "viral load", and AFAIK we do not have much data on this, as it's extremely difficult to measure. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/why-viral-loa.

This is the reality of software engineering. Fixing this would probably be a waste of time. Compared to downloading the video content, it doesn't matter at all. And as the article says, repeated content probably compresses extremely we

Surely it would be better to concentrate on the existing sources of bias, e.g. the judges? This would presumably carry over to their other duties. Perhaps this model could be used to generate a set of rules that were clear and less open to

I don't think this is a useful argument simply because China and America are so massively different in culture, history, geography, language and demographics that there's no way you can say with any certainty that the opium wars c

Imgur certainly doesn't display EXIF by default, but are you sure it doesn't retain it such that it could be obtained by a warrant?

Not enough to live on the passive income even in the cheapest parts of the globe. Why do you think that is the right metric? 3.4T is obviously a vast amount of money.

You don't need to give people a placebo, you can test against a known good alternative. This is frequently used in just such cases, where an effective treatment is already known, and denying patients in a trial that opportunity would b

Does anyone have good numbers for a) RAM, and b) the cost of each of these solutions? (RAM is obviously volatile.)

I wonder what the cost of building and running the app store is? Apart from the engineering costs and costs to run the servers, there are reviewers to be paid, marketing, gift cards to be distributed, various tax and legal problems that are

This sounds like it might be applicable in the near future - the regulatory barriers to a system that checks if you've missed any areas are probably far lower than any kind of tool that provides an actual diagnosis.

This sounds great. In your opinion, do you think your team is unusual in those aspects? Do you have any knowledge of the quality of code in other branches of physics or other sciences?

Do you know how you could get to the state that "the code was proven to produce the correct result"? If not by unit tests, code review or formal logic, then what?

How do you know it won't give you results? Maybe it will find a bug that would have resulted in an embarrassing retraction. Maybe it wouldn't find any bugs, but give confidence to and encourage other users and increasing your cita

I am interested to know the distinction between "production-ready" and "science-ready" code. I do not think "non-experts" should be able to use your code, but I do think an expert who was not involved in writin

This is the exact opposite of the usual complaint: that if you don't pay for support you can expect Google to arbitrarily shut your account and scoop up all your data - however paying them actually allows you some control.

Apple already ~mandated moving apps to Swift. I don't see why they couldn't do it again? Purely because of the existence of Flutter?

I am confused; what is a "staff user"? Does the UI allow you to add them without saying "2 is your limit"? The CEO tweeted that the traffic doesn't matter, but the email clearly says they are limited to 100k views.
