Excellent!

I had three peers in my entire engineering classes like that. Two became PhDs, one has changed fields and applied himself rapidly.

I wasn't like them, but that ability to understand on a fundamental level, not forget, and then very quickly tackle more and more complex problems so fast was like a superpower. It took me much much longer, without the detailed understanding.

No, most IoT devices in most applications are dramatically underpowered for 5G.

And non-Japanese. I went, it was magic :)

Ok thank you, I didn't know.

uncleberg | 7 years ago | on: The Case for Transmissible Alzheimer's Grows

Sure do. But yeah, no sharing. Never.

Forgive me; isn't Lasik all via laser though?

Isn't this more like - you share binoculars with someone and your eye fluids mix (if you both push them too close)?

Yes, v2 is coming soon or is now out :)

uncleberg | 7 years ago | on: Tracking Blood Sugar

Alrighty, thanks!

I wear a FreeStyle Libre every day, AMA. It's very good for T1s, of course.

It's reliable enough - the biggest downfall is that it's around 15 minutes behind real-time, ie, what you can measure with blood. Sometimes it can feel 'stuck' too, and change rapidly between a short amount of time.

The second model, which I am waiting to try, includes Bluetooth alerts if a trend high or low is detected. This may make it even more useful.
