I love how I just automatically accept the German cookie banner without reading it (but understanding exactly what it says). Modern internet ist scheisse.
I followed the link before I read your comment. On mobile, I did not notice that there is any scarring or thought it was just rendering artifacts. I would expect your results to be skewed toward the more symmetrical images.
Also, is there any reason why the survey takes five minutes? Why not limit it to 10 images, with the option to keep going?
I really like the idea, I hope this feedback is valuable.
Thank you very much for your time and feedback!
The scars are indeed not too prominent. In fact we had ours of discussions about the intensity of the scars - in the end we decided to go for a scar intensity that equals the average scar after about 2 years (so they wouldn't be too obvious in reality either).
The survey has 88 picture pairs that are mixed randomly. These 88 pairs are the absolute minimum to cover all relevant breast conditions in a way that allows us to get good statistical data.
We calculated the average decision time per picture pair with 3 seconds - hence the 5 minutes.
However the survey is structured in a way that if a participant only clicks 10 pictures, we can still use the data from those 10 clicks. So every click counts - and if someone is kind enough to click all 88 pictures, we get a full set of data.
Thank you very much for your interest and support!
I'm pretty sure I've been having the same few (dozen or so) pictures in a loop. Maybe the differences are too subtle to notice to the non-professional eye. Also I feel the resolution is a bit too low to really tell, the scars are barely visible in the images, not sure if that would also be the case in real life.
Thank you very much for your support!
In fact now picture pair is equal - although some may look very similar. Some pictures may loop - but that is because we need to compare some conditions to the same "base" condition (e.g. size asymmetry from a C-Cup breast compared to an A-Cup and a B-Cup breast...so those two pairs are different, but the "base" of a C-Cup appears twice.
The study is designed that way so that we are able to cover every important breast condition in one survey.
I hope that explanation helps - thank you very much again for your support!
Assuming immunity, you could take care of your parents, grandparents and other high-risk people. You’d have to balance the risk of a false-positive test and wrong assumptions about immunity against the risk of someone from a high risk group running errands.
The difference is that a phone might get hot when the camera is running 24/7 and CPU load is high, e.g. due to motion detection.
To add some anecdata: I had an old iPhone (IIRC a 4s) running as security cam for about 6 weeks. When I returned, the case was cracked due to a swollen battery.
....and? I imagine the phone shut down and literally nothing happened? Batteries are kind of designed to do that in case of cell failure, actual fires are incredibly rare.
Elon Musk claimed in a tweet that the roadster can beat a time of 6:44 min on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which is (currently) 20.832 km long.
The current lap record for street legal cars is 6:40 set by a Porsche GT2RS MR.
The overall record is 5:19.55 set by a Porsche 919 Evo.
F1 last raced the Nordschleife in the 70s. The lap record is 7:06.4, but the track was 22.835 km long back then.
The Roadster might have a chance at beating the lap record for street-legal cars, but physic will make sure that it will not come even close to an overall lap record.
Most of the discussions focus on end-users, here is an anecdote how this affects businesses: my current client recently moved to Cologne, the 4th largest city in Germany. They ordered a broadband connection from Deutsche Telekom three months before the move. As it turns out, Telekom needs SIX months to provide service. This is in one of the top-tier business centers, which was built in 2009.
Depending on your mobile provider, you also only have edge connectivity in most of the building.
