Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control by Errol Morris [0] might be the best ever for its detailed exploration into its four subjects and their passions into their area of expertise. It’s so simple, but part of why it’s so hard to make a documenta

Teams is buggy and the native client is less buggy than the browser version. Also, the browser version doesn’t have all the features of the native. So if I’m in an interview, I want to make sure that as much as possible works. If I was just

It’s the incidence that is important here. So while there’s higher survivability for cervical cancer, there are many more deaths. (At least until this vaccine) So people are concerned with the risk of having throat cancer more than the risk

Isn’t this article about how people make Electron apps instead of spending time in proper UIs? I think that’s part of an example of a dearth of UIs. Of course my interest in UX separates me from other developers. There are lots of people ma

Advertisers need your dna to sell products that are applicable only to certain dna. Or for higher probability (ie, Alzheimer’s genes).

Yes, you’re right, sorry. The vaccine prevents against up to 9 HPV, including many genital wart [0] strains. So I was wrong about herpes but my point was that it protects males against STIs and is just a handy vaccine to protect sexually ac

I can’t speak to everyone but they are boring to me because there’s not much of a problem to solve, just UX. And it isn’t something I need personally, so I just use the api or maybe a CLI. I just assumed lots of people think like this due t

> All they need to do is provide a full API and let third-party native app developers do the rest of the work. The problem with this is that those apps are kind of boring to make and there’s not much money in them.

It’s actually kind of frustrating how expensive that vaccine is (>$1000) as there’s no incentive to reduce cost. And if you’re 45, then insurance won’t cover. Even if you test negative for hpv.

The incidence of these cancers is much lower than cervical cancer. I think a more practical benefit to boys is the prevention of many strains of general warts and general herpes.

Assume everyone breached now has their dna linked forever with their marketing data graph. It will be sold and resold so eventually your TikTok feed will be influenced by your genes.

I’ve had sites that do forced password resets and other annoying things when I come back after years. 23andme bears responsibility more than users like banks bear more responsibility for customers choosing stupid pins. DNA info is valuable

I don’t think only, but can be a factor. For example, I think lots of fashion is some factor of culture and not biology. That’s why costumes are different in Germany than China. And there are things that are biology (height, etc). It’s inte

I find this kind of data interesting and hope we can pick out what’s biological and what’s social/cultural. It seems like there used to be more of these “look at these interesting results” type discussions but are fewer now that just p

Yep. And it was quickly searchable. I think Hotmail had like 10megs and search sucked. Do Gmail’s innovation was “lots of space and search works as well as google.”

Does Apple even track app analytics? They definitely don’t share it with anyone. I’d stop using the podcast app if they gave my behavior data out to anyone.
