Complete here means the full end-to-end sequence of all chromosomes in a single human cell line named CHM13. The typical human cell has 46 chromosomes, in 23 pairs (one from our mo…

Same here. Only after login though.

OP here. That's correct. This is work of Survata not Yahoo. I see how the title might suggest a connection, but that was not our intent.

-- Overview -- Survata is democratizing the multi-billion dollar market research industry by making it easy and affordable for anyone to survey a target population (e.g., to ask 10…

Survata co-founder here. To clarify, Survata is not a voluntary response sample. Voluntary samples often have a bias because the individuals who choose to respond are those with st…

Survata co-founder here. Good point. We had the same thought and did consider running a survey variant with the fixed 6 mo time frame. And we may just give it a try to see how the …

That's one of the first things that we (I'm a Survata co-founder) noted in seeing the data too. I see a few possible explanations: (1) A woman who sexts could have multiple sexting…

Thanks for the interest, and sorry for the delayed response. We certainly hope that the surveys are not annoying. We know that some people will prefer to pay, but others (like me) …

Thanks for the support, Dan.

Have you wiretapped our office? While we hope to work with big publishers too, niche blogs are an awesome place to start. As you say, they provide a self aggregated group of indivi…

Thanks for the interest. Google Consumer Surveys does have a similar model to ours. There a few things that differentiate us now: 1. Our minimum spend is only $10 vs. $100 for Goog…

We agree that maintaining data quality is the biggest challenge and really the crux of this business. We have initial filters that look for incorrect answers to "checker" questions…

I agree that the lightbox experience is common, but I view the surveys as fundamentally different than advertisements. Part of our idea is that your attention is more valuable than…
