If you have 23andme, the exact allele is not on the chip. However, a different allele is strongly associated with the region: https://you.23andme.com/tools/data/?query=rs10490770&filter_... The major A/A

It would be nice if there were a way to be a CA for a subdomain. Then each manufacturer could sign *.mydevice.com.

I was on a flight a couple years ago that had free texting through T-Mobile. What else to do but use Twitter through SMS? It was surprisingly still very good--could follow the news at very low bandwidth.

Yes, the 371 are listed on the sell sheet (see tweet above). Unclear if Stanford was involved, but I would suspect not.

I think building an iMessage-style PKI might be a wasted effort for them. They would need to immediately and silently inject server "participants" that listen in to every conversation (for dial-in or recording), so the permission

Does anyone know if using the "browser client" breaks encryption? I have been trying to use it to avoid issues with the native app, but if it turns on server-side decryption, that's kind of a big tradeoff. Glad to hear they h

I'm no fan of 4:2:2 (2:1 chroma subsampling), but the comparison looks a lot better for JPEG when you use 4:2:2 (which is the usual JPEG default). Using 4:4:4 instead drives the blocking artifacts way up, and isn't fair to JPEG.

Isn't HEIC (iPhone and Android P) patent-encumbered by HEVC? $0.20/device, but your photos are probably using it now.

Yes China should have some of this, but they have also had time to adapt to a fixed timezone. Most of these curves are U-shaped... I think generally standard time-1 would "hurt" early birds, and DST/double DST would discrimin

There's a lot of talk about acute risks--what happens a day or two after the time change. Most articles you'll read are all about this. The second topic, the main one that circadian scientists talk about, is chronic risks, and I b

The battery was too a bit too small, and this was a design flaw. But overall, I think third-party developers are more at fault. The biggest reason that old phones get slow is because third-party developers get new phones and don't worr

But is there an alternative to iCloud backup or to photostream/photos? Even Dropbox does not backup my photos unless I run it and wait.

zfs remove is not a very good implementation - it keeps the old blocks around (as a virtual device) and redirects them to new locations. This is fine for "oops I accidentally added a device" but not great otherwise.

I think Google Desktop even injected results into Google's main page via a "layered service provider" at the TCP level - back before we all used SSL for everything.

Is there a good design that lets someone forget their password and restore their backup (without a recovery key somewhere, like on an old device?) If you forget a local iTunes backup password, there is no way to fix it.

We only prompt if your timezone offset changes (traveling), or if you've never set things up. Something in the parent's configuration is triggering "never set". We have not used BSSIDs for this because some corporate and

We prompt once on reboot if your location is not set at all. We deliberately round to the nearest 0.1 degree for privacy (>5 mile box), but typing in a nearby city or airport code is usually fine.

Interesting how many of the integrations he talks about (OLE/DDE) are exactly the ones that mobile sandboxes make difficult to do these days.
