Perhaps something like Kardia? [1] I have no idea how you go about hosting a research study on it, but Apple Research utilizing people with Apple Watches also seems like the kind of thing you're looking for. [2] 1: https://k

This has ended up being my approach as well. Yes, I object to spending $20/m on the surface, but it ends up being far less than the time I'd spend trying to do it all myself. It also lets my wife pick whatever ridiculous show she

I’m always amazed at the staff numbers for these kinds of projects. I’m glad things are going well for them, but that really seems like a high employee count for such a simple project.

I realize that they're really just trying to sell their own services, but I still enjoyed the breakdown of options and costs - it's something I've actually wondered about in the past with all these startup banks.

Didn't we just establish with Roald Dahl's books that people don't think this is a good idea? Why are we doing this again?

I feel like I look for different things when I’m thinking “boring”. I would rather use .Net or Java for one simple reason - I know I won’t be rewriting the whole thing in a year when the ecosystem has suddenly shifted to the Next Big Thing,

Only semi related, but can someone explain to me how the hashing process works? Of course I get the process of hashing passwords and such, but how do you hash a photo so that the hash isn’t invalidated as soon as I convert it to a different
