I am an academic and outdoors enthusiast who supports the free and open exchange of information. We need to stop the trend of social media companies closing data access to researchers, open source developers, and the general community.

Hehe, I just grabbed the number off wolfram alpha’s size comparison. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are wrong, not sure where they scrape the data from. Anyway, my point stands, six microns is still stupidly small. Some dust or hair on the cutting edge and your precision is now out the window.

six microns

Given that human chromosomes are on the order of 5 to 10 microns, I am thinking this export regulation doesn’t apply to the hobby market. This is “use the machine in a clean room” level precision.

I wish there was a directory of WFH friendly companies somewhere. I have done the math and work from home saves me a ton of money and time. Plus, it seems like an enormously beneficial choice if you care about global climate change. Small companies that are willing to figure out how to maintain a good culture while working from home have a huge hiring advantage.

They usually choose a subset of customers to try UI changes on before rolling it out to everyone. This way they can estimate the general reaction before committing to it. They probably also have a dozen different layouts and text for this dialog that they are testing to see what makes people most likely to click yes. Its all just statistics to them.

The USGS has a much better article.

It does sound promising, but it looks like there is a fair amount of work to make it economically viable.

Thanks, I’m just thinking there should be a button somewhere on the community or user profile. I’m guessing we are going to get a lot more of this crap as time goes on.

Yeah, it could also just be a complete scam to get PayPal info or something. I’m just surprised there isn’t a “report community” or “report user” button.

Feel free to report it if you can figure out how. I gave up looking for the right link on Amazon’s page.

Gadgetbridge looks cool. I wish I had known about this before buying a Fitbit. I wonder how hard it would be to add support.
