Here's a crazy idea, circa 1990's: don't store their personal information! Allow people to browse Quora without using their real names. I'm very happy I deleted my Quora account when I did.

I like how this is their #1. In my opinion the best way to do this is with tldr.
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
I'd highly recommend folks create a tldr page for their CLI app. Add 4-8 examples to cover 80%+ of the most common use cases. -h flags, readmes & man pages can cover the other 20%.

What are prions?
In my experience conda is the way to go for setting up your environment. I did not have great luck with pyenv, YMMV.
I don't know about WSL. Maybe setup a dual boot with Ubuntu on your system?
Is this different than the existing multi_gpu_model? (https://keras.io/utils/#multi_gpu_model)
How I scraped data from Google Scholar
I like the idea of a pipe! Perhaps makes more sense than a smart toilet.
This is a parody but actually has some great product ideas :)
I 100% agree. I think we are on the cusp of the "cyborg" era, like it or not. Humans will wear health tracking devices at all times. Already 10M+ do, from basically 0 a decade ago.
Personally the sleep tracking and heart rate data from wearing my bands since 2014 led me to a diagnosis and fix for a number of health issues.
But the real promise lies ahead, as new and better sensors are engineered. In addition to helping with traditional health issues, devices will increasingly allow the conscious part of your mind to have real-time self-awareness of the biological factors going on that influence your thoughts and decisions and answer questions like these:
- Did you say "no" to that thing because it was the right decision or because your blood glucose level was so low? - Was your high productivity level today a fluke or influenced by the high caffeine level in your system? - How "tired" are you really?
Some people might not like it, but I don't know if they'll have a choice. Not taking advantage of these technologies would put them at a disadvantage in school, work, sports, and perhaps all other areas in life.
I think that moment is more like 10-20 years out, but otherwise agree with you.
I'm not saying there is, I just wonder if heart attacks might cause some discernible but very complex pattern visible in high-dimensional data that we haven't discovered yet, or if there is just too much physical distance between the wrist and heart to drown out all signal.
Chinese scientists use quantum mechanics to create truly random numbers
Is this true? According to https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress it looks like we are maybe a factor of 2 or 4 off.

The genetics component has always been terrific. I've had friends uncover surprises, like one who unraveled a mystery about an undocumented and unmentioned great-grandfather, who they found out was from a different continent and shunned by the family.
Even though I work in the 'omics field, I'm still amazed every time I get an email from 23andme that a sibling or cousin has joined, with them determining that based on nothing but some spit.
I think it's a very exciting company to watch and it's just getting started.
