That was my favorite chapter in Programming Pearls.

It's an old book but I really enjoyed Liar's Poker (1989) by Michael Lewis.

Misoprostol is also a cervical ripening agent comparable to cervidil.

Makes sense. As mentioned in the comments, there are different ways of inducing labor. I was referring to usage of pitocin or similar too early in the process, instead of gradually inducing the labor with other medications. We had success with just misoprostol during our labor, but the process was quite long.

Sorry for not being clear, I was specifically talking about pitocin level induction.

I wonder what its correlation with induction is. Artificially inducing labor does not tend to give the body enough time to adjust and progress.

I wonder what the procedure to locate the leak was.

I was hoping to get a more in-depth analysis of the 2-sided network effects of the scooter space. I'm having a hard time understanding the defensibility of these companies against each other. Habit doesn't seem to be enough to win the market. Exclusive contracts or leveraging regulations could be options but they don't feel strong enough either.

If it's not a winner takes all market and multiple players can coexist at the same time, then I don't understand the investment decision from the VC firms to value them so high so early. It feels like Uber/Lyft can easily get into this market and provide a better experience overall.

You could jointly train a NN to parse the sentence and tackle the NLP task you have at the same time, or instead of just using the tokens you could use a parser to add more features too.

edit: clarification

Uber and Lyft are different than scooter services because they leverage the network affects by the availability of drivers and wait times. Scooters could race to cover more districts and provide high availability but this can easily be commoditized. Also, cities have limits on the number of total deployed scooters within a city.

If the scooter companies can get bought by Uber or Lyft, these ride sharing services could also take on the responsibility of distributing these scooters across the city and make them highly available. That would compliment their ride sharing service tho.

I seriously don't understand how one scooter company could differentiate itself from others significantly from business perspective.

I think the main difference between the two is, IAP aims to replace VPN requirements for Enterprises. It only integrates with Google accounts and it seems to go hand in hand with GSuite. So they are more B2B oriented. We hide our staging servers behind IAP for instance.

Amazon's solution seems to integrate with a few other identity providers and gives the developers the tools to do authorization after authentication is done. It seems to position this more like a B2B2C. Although it feels like it already subsumes Google's IAP by doing so.

This is my understanding by reading the article on Amazon, I haven't actually used it.
