Heh, this would have been super helpful last summer as were nearing completion on the construction of our new home. We have an elliptical arch in our front portico that the carpenter was having trouble getting right...

Highly unlikely. 802.11x lives in the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz ranges which are outside of the stated range of the tinySA mentioned in the article. Occasionally radios will work outside of the stated range with a bit of hacking, but 950MHz to 2.4G

I recognize urine mycotoxin tests are potentially controversial, but these tests were very diagnostically significant for us and our mold journey. The mycotoxins that were off the charts in our tests matched the mold that was eventually fou

You need to find a functional health practitioner, and be willing to try many different practitioners. It took us several tries to find a practitioner who was willing to test for mold. If you aren't familiar, functional practitioners

I don't know of anything, but will buy if one exists. Closest thing that is out there are Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) detectors, some of the expensive ones detect particles as small as mold but the IAQ detectors can't tell you that i

If you are concerned about mold being a cause, there are couple of urine tests for mycotoxins that were super helpful for us understanding the mysterious illness in our family.

This! One of the best solutions to prevent mold is to improve energy efficiency. There are an increasing number of grant programs and Housing improvement initiatives available, but still those improvements are out of reach for a lot of peop

I know, seems crazy from the outside looking in, but nothing was particularly outrageously priced (and we did get several estimates from all sorts of people). To be fair, it wasn't just the foundation. Because of the mold in the baseme

I have a Ph.D. and am not in academia. The higher degree opens up opportunities for challenging positions, but you will probably need to show basic SWE capabilities also

I agree completely with this SWEs who understand data are extremely valuable. It sounds like you have enough hobby experience combined with your current work to get a SWE position. But, like other commenters have mentioned finish your degre

This was exactly my experience as well. I needed an non-JVM streaming platform. Differential Dataflow seemed like a possible fit, but I wasn't able to unlock the magic. Most likely a product maturity issue (docs, examples, defined us

Causal inference is only helpful is fields where an intervention is needed (like social science, medicine, etc.), which limits its applicability somewhat. Sure, ML is only correlation, but for most problems correlation is all you need.

You may want to consider testing your apartment for endotoxins (or just moving if possible). Endotoxins come from the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria for which the most common source is sewer leaks. Endotoxins are toxic and can cause

No, the symptoms haven't gone away yet, but we are improving. We moved out of our house 6 months ago. Other folks we talked to that have dealt with mold have taken 1 year or more to get back to some semblance of normal

After trying lots of other things, we finally got tested for mycotoxins, a mold byproduct, and after that test we started testing our house and discovered mold there. Neil Nathan's book "Toxic" was super-helpful in teasing ou

We recently learned that the chronic illness in our family was due to long-term toxic mold exposure. Here's what we have learned over the last 10+ years: 1) Learn to advocate for yourself. One wise doctor told us "we're all j
