My problem with Inbox is that it doesn't let you easily delete emails. It's 2 or 3 actions to delete, which is unreasonable with high mail volume. The Google party line is that you should never have to delete, but I don't car

Regarding the research program, what sort of research projects are you looking at? While you are putting a considerable amount of money into the project, it obviously won't be able to fund experimentally expensive projects. Also, many

Have you used spacy.io for comparison? The author seems to enjoy trolling about the faults of CoreNLP, but the license is very agreeable and the results seem on par.

I had similar empirical results on one of my PhD projects for medical image classification. With small data sets, we got better results on 8-bit data sets compared to 16-bit. We viewed it as a form of regularization that was extremely effec

This is somewhat off topic, but a friend of mine is working on something that sounds similar to what you described. I don't know their regulatory hurdles though. It might be worth it to contact them: http://crohnology.com/

I'm a colleague of the author, and I have talked to him quite a bit about C-Path since I work on something related. While I agree with much of what you are saying, I disagree slightly with your comment that the article is "principally, abou

Life360 (www.life360.com) has such a feature. It is essentially a safety app so families or groups of friends can keep tabs on each other. Full disclosure: I interned with them a few years ago when they were a startup out of Berkeley. Look

I surf plenty. While this idea seems nice in theory, community surf reporting is very tricky. The entire culture of surfing is an exclusionary one. People do not want other surfers on their break taking their waves. There is no incentive to

Like a few other people here, I took this class recently. I did well, but I don't feel like I truly understand material until I teach it. That being said, if anybody here has questions on the material, I'd love to help you out in some way.

Our lab's main focus is targeted delivery to the brain which can be used to treat a lot of neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically for Parkinson's, we infuse an AADC vector into the putamen to break down L-DOPA into Dopamine. Further down

My lab brought me on because they realized that they needed to use computers more effectively with the amount of data they generated. I came in with little bio knowledge, but they did a good job of filling me in very quickly. I'd suggest ge

I'm a computer scientist working in a Parkinson's lab that is very closely tied to the names in the article. My main duty is data analysis simply because there is so much information to process. If you want some more information regarding s

As a Berkeley grad from NorCal, your attempts were futile. ;) Plus, hella was not nearly as annoying as SoCal kids who complained how bad Mexican food is NorCal. All they would do is go on and on about putting french fries in their burritos

Keep in mind that Mike Jordan is a superhuman math machine. I remember his undergraduate research assistants at Cal were telling me that it would take grad students days to understand 5 minute proofs he would do on the fly.
