Let me know what you think about Polar:

https://getpolarized.io/

We launched about a year ago and are REALLY close to a 2.0 release.

Oh this looks really cool and your free tier is awesome. I'm going back to school in the fall and will be giving this a shot.

I'd also check my microwave if I were you. They shouldn't be leaking so much as to interfere on a home wifi signal.

Canadauni · 6 years ago

Yah this sounds like a leaky microwave interfering with the 2.4GHz band. I've had it happen with older microwaves in university housing interfering with the ubiquiti APs that they had on site.

Jeff Bezos seems to disagree with you. Ask people about the first 10 years of Amazon. Mark Zuckerberg also disagrees.

Canadauni · 6 years ago

Wouldn't this just be a classic case of survivorship bias? For every Amazon and Facebook there could be a number of companies that did similar things and fell apart.

The fear for many likely doesn't even come from the book of Revelation but rather from a popular Christian series of novels based on one person's interpretation of Revelation. I'd bet most people afraid of the mark of the beast haven't even read Revelation.

Potentially dumb question: how do cheats even work in a game like LOL? I understand aimbots in a FPS and how they can give a pure mechanical advantage, but the LOL equivalent isn’t obvious to me. Does the client have access to data that’s not supposed to be exposed to the player?

Canadauni · 6 years ago

There are still aim bots in lol because there are aimed skill shots for most of the champions. Scripting is abilities is probably the main method of cheating though.

This anti cheat software is for their new game valorant which is a counter strike like shooter.

I know you reference your introductory notebook throughout your docs but I think it would be helpful to include some of the plots inline in your docs.

Seeing that this lib is built on top of statsmodels my first response was that I'll just keep using statsmodels. However the simplicity of the diagnostic plots actually seems really nice value add. Showcasing those plots right in your docs might make it more attractive to people checking out your project for the first time.

Is it worth formatting my external flash media as exFAT at this point if I find myself dual booting often? NTFS on Ubuntu is pretty well covered so that has been what I have been using. But if exFAT support is improving I'm wondering if it is worth switching over.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonochemistry I have no idea about that application, but the idea of using sound in chemistry seems to actually be a thing ...

Canadauni · 7 years ago

At risk of oversimplification, sound is just energy and given the right amount of energy chemical changes can be carried out.

Was it a sonic attack? or some drug which destroys brain tissue, and as a side effect messes with sound processing parts of the brain too.

Canadauni · 7 years ago

This is an interesting theory. Probably one of the more plausible ones. I imagine some sort of biological or toxicological attack could cause some sound processing related symptoms.

On the wild end of things one could imagine it being a combination of sonic and chemical attack where the an innocuous chemical structure became active as a result of high frequency sound.

You can try the experiment on yourself. Find capsules of flax seed oil that look like capsules of CBD oil. Have someone place a one-to-three week supply of each in separate envelopes and take them twice daily. Score your anxiety level each morning until all the tabs are gone. Estimate your average anxiety level each week. Then ask the person to reveal the envelopes to you and see if you can find a measurable difference between the treatments.

Canadauni · 7 years ago

To be really sure it would be a good idea to have one person enclose the tablets in the envelopes and a different person to administer them to you.

But I suspect that there might be other factors here that might influence your study design. Mostly because neurotransmitters are super complicated.
