Guys at Verily are working on Terra.bio with the Broad institute and others. Genomics England in the UK is also experiencing with multimodal and machine learning applied to whole genome sequences [1].

Now I know they are called drafting tables! Still got two in the old office of my parents.

Mom and dad were architect and engineer in the transitioning period to CAD software and still remember my days spent sharpening drafting pencils by hand on Stadler sand paper holders. Koh-i-noor is another brand I remember.

Very interesting and it resonates with the things mentioned by Adobe ex-CPO to Lenny: https://youtu.be/HCKosdV1J-8

Wish it better luck than x.ai have used the latter for a year and it has saved me so much time. Joined the beta, looking forward to trying it!

Use it to keep track of personal goals and I use the KR to break it down into chunckable and measurable steps. Have done that intuitively in the past, but now have formalised it a bit more. It helps that for my job we OKR regularly for both the Performance but also the Growth part of the job.

Amazing project. Scrolled to see if they had the Olivetti M24 machine in there. Would have been the ultimate nostalgia.

Nice to see Harrow in there. The wavy double yellow lines are down the corner from where I live and I always thought they would be a common thing…

Very interesting idea :) Unfortunately it breaks when I enter Tarantella or Taranta. Need more training samples from south of Italy :)

Yes. My partner is Iranian and their birthday is out of sync (earlier) every leap year. We “discovered” that the one first year it happen to us when suddenly received birthday wishes by all their Iranian network the day “before” the Gregorian calendar birthday.

Basically, just click anywhere on the south of Italy to understand how infrastructure investment can be done poorly.

Got a pair of these from prof Silver himself. https://www.ted.com/talks/joshua_silver_adjustable_liquid_fi... At first glance it would seem the same concept. How is it different (if) ?

Agree on the soaps + badger hair brush (or even synthetic for those who care).

I shave thrice a week (head and face) and the Proraso brand has been a lifesaver.

Have never managed to learn to use the DE razors :/

Indeed the article mentions digging deeper into that, how are you going to use it? Who would benefit most? Other colleagues/divisions/department that are going to benefit from “feature”? How do you accomplish something like this now?

It would be such a great addition to their tour. I hear recently they’ve added vr headset but not sure if the quality of reconstruction is similar…

Moved from LastPass (premium) to Bitwarden. Could have stayed on the free tier but decided to pay to support them, it’s a fraction of LastPass!

Not so long ago we ran a large study to understand strategies for weight loss. Here the results. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30096203/

Would be interesting to see what Meta does especially after their latest announcements about focusing on building the Metaverse. Would seem like a contradiction to push people back into the office.

My dad was a civil engineer who loved computing so had the luck to be exposed to all his purchases. Memorable for me this Programma 101, an HP-67 (could be programmed with magnetic strips! And had Polish notation :), a couple of Olivetti M24 with GWBasic as OS...

Wonder why they haven’t used powerBI for that, but deep inside I know why...

Confirm. My brother is was on Tysabri for more than 5 and recently got confirmation of JCV. The checkup is however more regular. Blood test + MRI + symptoms check every three months, as if done less regularly would increase massively the risk. If JCV flare up is detected they’ll need to flush/wash the Tysabri away from his bloodstream.

He also got a severe mononucleosis infection before being diagnosed, and at that time we all thought that could have been the cause.

Also difficult to say if they were freshmen or sophomores :)

Have tried the Kamira. Apart from it being a bit weird looking, the coffe does come out really good. Not an espresso though, but a very good coffee.

Online stores like Amazon or eBay have plenty of those (sometimes called also gaskets). The seal tends to become brown over time as the silicone absorbs some quantity of coffe in the process, but that does not affect the taste of coffee and the seal keeps doing its job impeccably (up until ~6 yrs at least, ymmv).

Check my comment above about Silicone-made seals

Still using the first 3-cup ½ Moka pot I bought after moving to Uni when 18yrs old, now serving me for the past 20 years O_O. Have "burned" it three times by forgetting it on the hob and being awaken by the burned smell of plastic. Always managed to get it back to life with a good scrub and a new set of spares.

Some 13 years ago, for the office I got a "modern" Elettrika Bialetti which is a normal 2-cup ½ standard Bialetti with a resistor on the bottom to make it electric. It uses standard computer cables to get power. It powered 11yrs of PhD, postdoc, and academic work.

Last update for my Mokas (~6yrs ago) is to get seals made of silicone. They last a lifetime and now I don't even need to change the seal every four months anymore.

Apparently quite similar to what Alfa tried much earlier on https://www.museoalfaromeo.com/it-it/collezione/Pages/A-L-F-...

This one is my first sight of a "bicycle with engine" ever (sorry article is in Italian). It was used in the movie "Bread love and dreams".

8pm ?! By the time that the things you mention happen to me, SO, and 2 yr old for me it's more likely 11pm :/ Kudos to OP for pulling this out!
