This is correct. Current legislation (GDPR and the UK's implementation in the 2018 Data Protection Act) does not require data to be stored in the UK. G Suite is definitely GDPR compliant, could the trustee be raising vague concerns wit

It is pretty easy to spoof GPS locations, at least in Android, in a way that is undectable to apps using location services. Might be a better option for these drivers?

If you're writing desktop apps using an HTML/CSS interface, I wonder if "lightweight" is really a concern? I don't work on any such projects, but I'd probably prefer something established with a community (elec

5x more worried? That implies measuring “worriedness” on a ratio scale (ie a scale with fixed zero). This wasn’t discussed in the article. Maybe they meant “5x more parents are worried,” although looks more like 3.5x

I've spent about 3 years in India, through a combination of work and family, and rarely see anything called "curry" on menus. Part of what this author seems to be getting at is that "curry" reflects a colonial viewp

Isn't "real time" a concept that is somewhat biased by the frame of reference, i.e. it would just have a different concept of "real time" and consider our "real time" to very quick?

This was a very quick and exploratory proect using JHU data. It has some features I could not find elsewhere: polynomial fits to national trajectories and population normalized mortality rates.

I tried fitting a third order polynomial for JHU Covid data, just as a way to kill time. For all countries, the 95% confidence interval of the second derivatice overlapped zero (i.e. it can't be estimated very well). We only have about

The linked medium article is 2017, should probably be noted in the post. Seems the editor is not available for download in 2020. One of their criteria is a little questionable: > Has a design that doesn’t feel like an afterthought Of cou

That is a good point, is creating a new app feasible within the app store? It seems if there are enough new features added, then it would become a new app which would be chargeable as a new purchase (with a discount code for users of the ex

It really only makes sense to understand the world economy as a whole. On this scale, consumption (e.g. steel production or oil consumption) continue to grow [1,2]. Americans are in the fortunate position of selling services (e.g. finance,

While effect size is important, it is really only comparable across studies with randomized, dichotomous treatment. Comparability in non-experimental studies or in studies with dichotomous/polytomous outcomes is more difficult.

I agree significance is mis-used, but in the opposite way than these authors. They are concerned that authors claim "non-significant" means "no effect," I see a lot of authors claiming "significant" means &quot

I agree with what you've said - one thing that is sometimes overlooked is that publishers pay academic societies for the right to use the journal. I am on an editorial board for a small-ish society: we make about $5000 per year in memb

Does anyone actually access articles on a per-article basis? I would bet the lion share of downloads (and revenues) are institutional subscriptions.

Most author publishing agreements allow stipulate this. In my experience, the author retains copyright, but grants a license to distribute the typeset, proofread document. You generally have the right to distribute an un-typeset copy on you
