Interestingly, the new Apple watch will supposedly have a pulse oximeter of sorts [1]. I was looking forward to that. Now I wonder how it biases as well, especially given the wide distribution of apple watches and them being used as a defac

We sorely need this for cycling. Komoot is the closest thing but it doesn’t do mileage requests like your app here. This is awesome! EDIT: In addition to optimizing for green routes, optimizing for low speed car zones would be a killer feat

I was recently thinking about a digital experience that can mirror the experience of walking into an old bookstore (think, City Lights or Strand) or a second-hand book store, and came up empty. Walking into a room guaranteed to be filled wi

"Forget 3DoF & AR" Sidenote, Quest will be mixing between AR and VR [1]. Maybe it'll take a hardware revision to really bring it to the fore, but the future of AR/VR are quite blurred. [1]: https://tech.f

Airbnb says otherwise [1] in fact their CEO said not many are converting to long-term rental [2]. No one has the aggregate data exactly, and Airbnb exposing their data is probably a competitive risk. Though if their CEO is right and rent is

"America is a very large country, and a large country should be benevolent and noble" What? Is something lost in translation here? Interesting, Russian idiom perhaps?

This is very cool! I'm thinking the depth data that is captured is of higher resolution. Is that true? Was this limited by the API? Or a limitation of the browser? Super cool to see this depth data IRL.

Oh my. Thank you for finding these. I would pay a fair bit of money to have a docent of some sort take me around these places in VR. I can't actually visit Egypt anytime soon.

We've been using Tara for a while now. As a smaller team, we never had good luck with the hyper-complexities of JIRA, we were stuck with Trello (and/or a simple Notion Kanban board) for a while. But Tara's really worked the b

Most of these companies run closed-circuit tests (aka nerf-golf-carts) and 1000's of hours of simulation. In the end, the only test that matters is the real-test. Real speed (sensor/computation latency et al.), real sensor feeds (

Right, so a simple mapping I'd want is given a Zip Code, what is the corresponding FIPS Code.
