What's the granularity of the prediction (I'm not sure if that's the correct word? I'm not a meteorologist)? Region level (100s km)? City level (a few 10s of kms)? Block level (a few kms)?

When you say it's on par with global weather models, how is "weather prediction accuracy" measured?

Cool, none-the-less!

Thanks, and I appreciate the questions:

1. Glue4 is not a query storage nor technically a "real-time" database, so the trade offs are different (you don't have to use a proprietary SDK to query your data, everything is in your Redux store as a JSON object). As well, this is a plug and play Redux add-on, you don't need to change anything about your current application.

2. It's represented as JSON-serializable data. The storage abstraction is an implementation detail. Currently it's literally serialised to disk, but we can just as well store it in DynamoDB, Mongo, PostgreSQL's JSONB column, etc. We will eventually support complex data (like images, videos, BigInt, etc) and transparently serialise/deserialise them for you and persist them for you in the appropriate storage (i.e. if you add an image to your Redux state as a user avatar, we will upload it to a blob storage and send it through a CDN for future fetches, all transparent to you as the developer).

2.a.: Yes, for the current version that is the case. Local persistence (offline first) is definitely something we want to support down the road!

3. A high level roadmap is actually available on our website if you scroll down :).

Let me know if there's anything else :D!

You are referring to Pokémon (notice the o where there was an a previously). And you are correct, the é has an accent on it (though I've always wondered why--Pokemon is an abbreviation for "Pocket Monsters", and neither of the e's either word contains have an accented e!).

What's the problem? One is lowercase and the other clearly upper case.

Much like in vim: "f" searches _forward_ while "F" searches _backwards_. Perfectly valid. I see no implementation hurdles here.

> were HIV to mutate away from being able to bind to those chunks it too would become less virulent when attacking the real proteins.

Forgive my ignorance, but are there any indicators to predict whether a virus will evolve one way or another?

What I mean is, once it comes in contact with these mimic proteins, instead of mutating away from binding to these proteins, can it not mutate in such a way that it increases its virility so that it will bind onto more proteins in an effort to combat "false positives"? So it'll become even more virulent in individuals that have not received this treatment, and maintain its current virility in individuals receiving such treatments?

What happens if you don't set keymap "gg", "G", etc? Would they not work, or...? (Currently not on a *nix machine to be able to test it out, or else I wouldn't ask such a simple question :P)

How were you able to find out what IP was cached for a particular domain?

The abstract makes no mention of -130°C, but digging into the actual paper (can be read here: www.21cm.com/pdfs/cryopreservation_advances.pdf), it does mention: "Fig. 13. Confinement of ice formation to the pelvis of a rabbit kidney that was perfused with M22 at 22°C for 25min, bisected, and allowed to passively cool in air in a CryoStar freezer at about 130°C... The vast majority of the kidney appears to have vitrified and is indistinguishable from the appearance of the kidney prior to cooling." (Emphasis mine)
