I would go further and say, in a crowded space like that with some excellent free options (i'd also add https://redash.io/ to the list which is very pleasant to work with), you need to show what actually differentiates

I also find it just fascinating, that anyone would pump hundreds of millions in a service which is a copycat anyhow and doesn't even own the IP on the only thing that could potentially differentiate them from their competitors. I mean,

Why would I choose Meilisearch over, e.g., Algolia?

Again, no expert, but glucose, insulin levels and blood oxygen have been measured in a drop of blood forever, so I guess they are sufficiently homogeneous and also available in sufficient amounts even in small drops of blood for that to wor

No biochem, but from what I read, it was highly doubtful that the product could even theoretically work because blood is not a completely homogeneous fluid. Concentrations of the things you want to test for vary by quite a lot if you take t

It‘s purely anecdotal but in our Kindergarten in Germany there was a huge outbreak of an respiratory infection in the last week of February and unlike those „normal“ Kindergarten viruses, it affected the parents worse than the children. My

Right, MORE air conditioning will solve our problems with global warming…

One test costs about as much as one dose of vaccine. So there is a considerably higher cost associated with weekly (or more) testing than with vaccination. Taxpayers (70% of which have now gotten vaccinated) don't have to pay for the l

A completely non-responsive marketing page. Haven’t seen that in a while.

Its hearsay, but my brother in law works with someone who has known Sahin and his wife (and cofounder) for a long time and according to them, they actually couldn’t care less about money. Cloths, cars etc are of little concern to them. They

Let‘s be honest, this is exactly what should and probably will be happening to FAANG.

In comparison to the resources of large nation states, even the resources of the Gates foundation (which amount to a couple of billion a year) are tiny. Still, most western countries obviously could not care less. If you transferred the wea

Its a well known problem for any type of infection and or vaccination in the area. They just wanted to write a sensationalist Covid story. It's annoying because there are significantly more relevant stories about ... well just about an

How about: Don't do a routine mammogramm in the weeks following any (!) vaccination in the arm. Problem solved!

EU did not "introduce" PSD2 this year, it was/should have been in effect since Sept 2019! However, the member states (and therefore the EU) have cut the banks an inordinate amount of slack to get their shit together, even tho

Your translation is not correct, it says "filming the victims of an accident". So presumably filming an accident from a distance (where the victim cannot be identified and you are not in the way of the rescue workers) is not illeg

The article has many logical inconsistencies. None of the points made refute Gates' position. The stockpile of the US would be just as high if the IP were free. They overproduced out of an abundance of caution which from a national poi

I had the distinct pleasure to make a trip with late Nobel laureate Jack Steinberger to CERN. And while he was certainly deserving all the recognition he got, he himself mentioned that giving prizes like the Nobel to individuals (and I woul

What lead? The main advantage of Tesla is that they have the guts to put beta quality software in cars and get away with it (from a regulatory perspective) up to now. As can be witnessed in loads of videos on YouTube, the current FSD betas

But isnt meteorology a good example of a science capable of producing models with high accuracy (albeit just for a couple of days in advance) in absence of lab conditions. I can't think of a single economic model as accurate as modern

by dr_faustus 6y ago
Economics is for me the prime example, even more so than psychology. They layer mathamatical models upon models to make it look like "hard" science. But even the most basic assumptions are disputed and you can basically find an ec

We have been using Chatwoot for a couple of months. Launch HN is a bit of an understatement, its already a very polished, comprehensive product. Congratulations!

It's not my place to evaluate which method of calculating the exposure was correct. Just pointing out, that 1 mSv is a rather small amount of radiation. The smallest amount of radiation where one sees some indications of an increase in

by dr_faustus 6y ago
1 mSv is a pretty low threshold. It's actually a bit more than 10x the radiation of a thorax x-ray done with modern equipment. But its 1/10 of a thorax ct. It's also less than the yearly difference between the exposure of peo

I have no doubt, that in the over 30 years after Chernobly hundreds of thousands of children were born with birth defects in Poland and Ukraine, many of them severe. Which is tragic. And has nothing to do with Chernobyl. Because roughly 6%

I find it always fascinating, that the same groups (Greenpeace, etc.) are always quick to point to UN reports about climate change (like the IPCC report) as if they were gospel but all the reports of the UN about Chernobyl and Fukushima are
