Ironic that the app name is "Decimals". Personally, never liked the apps that used integers for what in the real/human world are decimals. I understand (sort of) why they are used from a tech perspective. But ultimately, tech

Oh, wow, that's terrible. I guess I haven't run into it. That would be a bit of a show-stopper for many of the projects I am contemplating.

Everyone seems to be doing that from NYC data. IHME_UW has been making massive errors and no one seems to mind.

Good luck. Anyone even slightly out of the mainstream will get shamed into oblivion. Just look at the 2 Bakersfield doctors this week.

I usually don't care much about such things but how are you financing this project? I did not see any evidence of a paid plan. If I were going to depend on this I'd like some assurance that you'd be able to keep it going. Tha

Firebase is my favorite at the moment. I like that it combines functions & db. And has a simple DB viewer.

The reporting is a little off. It's says an $18b valuation is "a drop of almost half" from $31b. OK, almost. Then it says all of the $1b is debt which would not suggest a new valuation.

Trump mentioning a drug in a press conference is now "giving [medical] advice"? Please.

The combination with met form in suggests this has little relevance to the Covid-19 discussion? The drugs are very old and very well understood and have very modest safety profiles.

I only saw one bit of data on this and it was unclear if the data was reliable. Apparently the data from the CDC on this may take awhile to finalize. Do you have any pointers?

One died. I am not extremely confident in what is not even a conclusion. I am simply shocked at the pushback and resistance to a promising treatment with minimal downsides. Medecine appears to be the only profession in the world that only a
