Happy 2020!

Here's my review of Jenny Odell's "How to do nothing' on Medium, https://medium.com/@arinbasu/review-and-notes-from-how-to-do-nothing-413eba2c6173

Well, at its simplest, if we have say a button or something that we can 'press' and push from our tweets to peepeth or from our blogs directly to peepeth, that will increase interactions in this medium. I certainly look forward to use peepeth more in the next few months.

I know that we can share our peeps as tweets, a great feature as it lets me keep peepeth up for sharing the relevant peeps. Does peepeth have an API that we can use to then share from those other media to *here*, or say bring in *friends* from elsewhere?

Peepeth needs to make sure you make new friends instead of hanging out with the same old friends and bring them here. So far there is very limited interaction with anyone. This is an aspect of Peepeth I do not like at all! #dislike

Discuss, and enjoy excellent resources, know yourself. It's a fantastic community, not everything can be measured with money.

You cannot earn anything from here.

plaudit (https://plaudit.pub) is a web service that lets you vote on articles; check it out: http://bit.ly/Plaudit, shout out to @qeios , would be a good to see it there.

Karl Friston's review on free energy principle and how perception works, #mindfulness and #neuroscience,

This is a fantastic adaptation of Buddhist ethics into an online interaction setting, I think you are the first if not the only one. Even plum village is not as innovative, :-)

I see. I usually keep my Fridays for a day long fast, feels good. I really like how @peepeth used Thich Nhat Hanh's mindfulness built into it, amazing.

Is it intermittent fasting or what?

Swash is a great Firefox add-on, and I was mind-blown with #streamr as a fantastic integration of real-time data and web3.0, it'd be great to build say an #Rstats layer to read and interact with it.

In NZ, we observe daylight saving time, but it is reverse of what you have in the northern hemisphere as seasons are reversed. Trust it maximizes available sunlight to get your work done.

Unfortunately, these are toxic foams on the Yamuna river; and the air you see in the distance is due to pollution: the city of New Delhi is one of the worst polluted cities in the world, see: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/11/pollution-hits-record-high-new-delhi-191101135202

Three women worshippers in the Yamuna river of India awash with toxic foam. Look at the air beyond: this is not pretty, it is outright sad. #pollution #delhi

Since Google's acquisition of Fitbit, this is an interesting read,

I find Brave browser (download link: https://brave.com/ari010) a blazingly fast, feature rich browser, all Google Chrome extensions work flawlessly. This is my first point of entry to the wonderful world of decentralised computing.

Gigantum (https://gigantum.com/) is a superb tool for #data #science, uniting #jupyter with a #git client baked in it. Another killer web app is kyso.io (https://kyso.io/): connecting the two would be interesting.

On that note, do not miss this article by William S Cleveland way back in 2001: http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.1751-5823.2001.tb00477.x #data #science

Working on developing a proposal to develop data science cluster at the University of Canterbury (@UCNZ), and #til: Drew Conway came up with this Venn diagram defining the field, also see his excellent blog post: http://drewconway.com/zia/2013/3/26/the-data-science-venn-diagram

Thanks @Bevan. I teach epidemiology and biostatistics and environmental health. Here is my profile at the university:

As one more of my PhD student finishes his studies using Overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com), must say it is the best online LaTeX authoring app out there, one tool that rules them all: integrating writing, bibliography, analyses, #overleaf #phd

Thanks @Bevan. I just checked the detailed report. Absolute gem of an AI application.

I was checking it out today. Really well thought out. Quite surprised how accurately it predicted/diagnosed some of my personality traits. Quite uncanny really.

Patralekha Chatterjee reports the public health projects in India in 2019. Note that with 2.5% GDP outlaid on health, it is unlikely India will meet ambitious goals; #health #india
