Would love to take a look at the code, in particular at how the data extraction and transformation is implemented.

The main factor at play here is maternal passive immunity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_immunity#Maternal_pass...

As far as I know, there's no (direct, retrograde) transfer of pathogens from the child to the mother through the breast. But if the child has an infection, there is often a higher chance for the mother to get ill as well (due to close body contact, aerosol particles, etc.) and to develop a "mature immune response", which could lead to a (delayed) positive secondary effect on the child through passive immunity.

Ask HN: How to scan and archive slides and photos?

I have a few thousand slides and photos that I would like to scan and archive myself. Currently I'm considering a scanner in the Epson Perfection V550 Photo range and writing a small program to store and tag the image blobs.I wonder what others use and what works well, both for hardware and software? Any recommendations, dos and don'ts, etc. that you can share? Thanks :)
