Excited to learn about this. From my limited research, metal oxide VOC sensors are not very accurate due to sensor drift, instability, and cross sensitivity to temperature, humidity and inorganic gases.

How do you manage this and did you consider using an electrochemical or photoionization sensor?

I share your concern about journalists inserting their own bias. A good journalist would investigate the factuality of claims by all parties in a story, not just the ones they agree with. Of course, bias does happen even with the best intentions, and that is why it is a good idea to read multiple news sources with good journalistic ethics (https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp).

Lazy “he said, she said” journalism, sometimes called “bothesidesism”, is dangerous to a free society because it enables propaganda and disinformation. Lay public do not have time or resources to debunk lies and find out which side in a public debate is telling the truth (if any). That is the sacred duty of a free press.

I agree that it’s not the job of news media to herd their audience into thinking the right things. However, it is their duty to uncover and report the truth.

Provenance is a frequently cited use case for blockchain. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon is working on some kind of “Amazon verified authentic” blockchain service that will lead to widespread adoption across retail manufacturers.

I’m also wary of accepting controversial opinions at face value, and fully support your skepticism here. She’s not my favorite messenger, either. I don’t think ad-hominem attacks are fair, though.

The article is full of references to evidence outlining her position. Do you have any critique of her arguments you can share?

“Rather than some embarrassingly reductionist, one-deficiency-one-illness-one-pill model of mental illness, contemporary exploration of human behavior has demonstrated that we may know less than we ever thought we did. And that what we do know about root causes of mental illness seems to have more to do with the concept of evolutionary mismatch than with genes and chemical deficiencies.”

I use Apple Maps when walking because of the nice turn by turn integration with the Apple Watch.

You may not be working at a place where remote work is part of the culture. When everyone is remote, the tools and processes are built around it and it no longer feels like a “pain in the ass”.
