Many but not all Siberian Forest cats produce less Fel D1 - the protein that cat allergy sufferers react to - in their saliva compared to other cats, making them hypoallergenic. All of them are incredibly fluffy.

If you want to take a look at the code we wrote RemainVoter.com and run the model yourself using #Python then head over to our GitHub site: github.com/remainvoter/eu…

I'd add to this, machines can parse text and analyse it with Natural Language Processing & Understanding. That can lead to concept discovery, sentiment/tone analysis and potentially creepier things like Big 5 personality analysis

Interesting thread. Also, basing the fine on turnover rather tham profit could be catastrophic for low margin businesses.

Results of WebAIM’s 8th Screen Reader User Survey - webaim.org/projects/scree… Some interesting results: - NVDA takes a bite out of JAWS and is now the most common screen reader - Chrome usage increased 3X making it the most used browser - IE usage still at 14.5% - PDF = problems

Don't like saying 'resource' to refer to people but not sure what else to use? 'Staff' is a noun (we're assigning staff to the project) a verb (we're staffing this with 3 people) and an adjective (is this project staffed?). There, now you're not talking about people like things.

This is very welcome news. I have been to some great talks at skills matter over the years, they were good when they were running out of the crypt in St James Clerkenwell, and they were good when they were running out of the rather more modern CodeNode in Finsbury

DreamLab is an app that will crunch numbers for medical research whilst phones are charging. Thus far they've been processing data for cancer projects, but have recently added an Imperial College project to discover potential coronavirus treatments. Every extra device helps.
