The article doesn’t really read like that to me. There’s a global “stopleaks” email address to report leakers to, and leakers have been fired when reported.

Well... that’s great. But also doesn’t really require much in terms of advances in AI? Unless you’re saying this is coming from advances in face recognition?

I’m curious to know which tasks specificly are close to being automated? Also, are there any AI applications which have already generated a large amount of revenue?

Most interviews have asymmetric costs. There’s a potential payoff for both parties, but costs are higher for the interviewee (time off, prep, work done). I recommend trying to make the cost/benefit more symmetric. One way of doing this

Oxford Nanopore is currently far more expensive and lower quality than Illumina sequencing. A single minion run costs $500. It doesn’t even provide a single x1 complete human genome. You can currently get a complete x30 human genome using I

I think the BGI/MGI will probably provide an incentive. Recent reports suggest that their instruments are starting to produce reasonable data (80% > Q30). Illumina have ~90% [1] markup on consumables. They can afford to reduce their

Yes. There’s a reason that Japan created a new term “Chikan” to describe gropers on trains. It’s exceedingly common. Recent reports, suggest that almost every woman who has used a underground in Japan regularly has been groped at some point

What does changing the bias to recover look like in practice? Any resources on this?

From my brief google search, it seems unlikely: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/55hb2h/could_me... Perhaps taken from some other application of mercury...

Outside of the patents for Lumeloid were there any publications? I skimmed Alvin Marks’ parents. A few things stuck me. There are a lot of them, like hundreds? They mostly have one inventor (for something like this, I’m used to seeing teams

Error rates are currently very high, and from a single run it doesn’t seem like you’d get a 1x coverage Genome, let alone 30x (which is what this service is claiming).

There seem to be quite a few reviews showing people who received their data (with significant delay). More worry is that they sent out used kits to a number of customers! https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/15/dante-

Given the error rates shown for this product it seems unlikely this is anything but BGI sequencing. The BGI (MGI) have been pushing out new instruments, reportedly with lower error rates (and much cheaper than Illumina). They’ve also been b

Interestingly they say Q20 >90%, Q30 >80%, on 100bp reads. That’s much higher than I’ve seen reported for prior Complete/BGI datasets. Recently lower error rates have been reported, but I’m surprised to see them this low. If this

Thanks, webrecorder.io looks particularly good. I’d also forgotten about archive.is I should use that more.

I’ve searched for web archival services before, but never found anything outside of some expensive legal services. It would be great if there was a service like the waybackmachine but which could be use to archive on demand, and make those

Yes, it almost certainly is quite sketchy... I can’t think of any way it could be securely implemented. In the case I’ve seen it’s the only password used... I wonder if there is a hashing scheme that would work with some kind of ambiguous e

I always liked the idea of having a password entry system where a single observation doesn’t provide enough information to reveal the password [0]. However in addition to creating issues with the secure storage of the password... I don’t th

Direct link to the forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/FridgeDetective/ The article is an interesting summary, but in my opinion doesn’t add much value over “there’s a forum that does this”. So you might want to check

It seems totally reasonable for 3rd party repair to void warranties. 3rd party repair will be of varying quality and it doesn’t seem logical to make the vendor liable.

I guess intellection property protection to me means IP law (patents etc). But if DRM was meant I can see how there are cases where this could be a problem (I don’t think it is yet a very common problem however, or one that prevents the maj

I have a hard time thinking of a product where the repair is inhibited by IP issues. Can you give a specific example? I tend to buy and repair scientific and lab equipment and repair it. I also do/try for consumer stuff sometimes, it’s

Because it's expensive. If you have your own ASIC it's a differentiator that's hard for other players to compete with. They'll take this to potential investors (or stockholders the "market") and say this is a b

Not knocking it, but the main issue in this case is that the commercial one specified is way over-priced. You can pick up tube racks on eBay for 5USD including shipping. I've not seen magnetic ones, but gluing a couple of magnets on wo
