Adding to the litany of bad google ideas from the past 10+ years:

- Killing google reader

- Pointless UI changes

- Multiple chat and videocall apps that cannibalize each other.

- Stadia fiasco

- Shoving AI down our throats in their MAIN PRODUCT

What's the source of this rot? I have a friend at google who says the place is filled with smart people competing with each other. Perhaps this competition fuels a chaotic lack of coherency? Kind of feels like they have no clear vision in the "Google Ecosystem", and are hopping on the AI bandwagon with hopes it'll ride them into the future.

R also seems to have some libraries for things related to design of experiments.

You'll need to run RT-qPCR (Reverse Transcriptase Quantitative PCR) to detect Covid-19 viral sequences.

Simple thermocyclers allow us to amplify sequences but it can't do measurement like a Quantitative PCR machine.
