Very cool to see! I was active in the UO emulator communities back in the day but mostly with SphereServer. It is interesting to see here in the comments how many people were inspi…

Very few companies run the vertically-integrated stack because it is prohibitively expensive to do so with current NWP versus what you can sell it for with only marginal forecast i…

Let's not forget the time they just turned it off for the winter holidays because they didn't want to be paged about it going down!

Since the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017, Congress is requiring NOAA to start acquiring data via commercial partnerships. NOAA has already made some contra…

Guardant Health is a member of the Blood Profiling Atlas for Cancer ( https://www.bloodpac.org/members/ ) too with a commitment to opening up data for faster discovery. So they're …

I recommend reading the fine print on your grant application next time. If you were successful, the entire application becomes subject to FOIA. As for your patent infringement prob…
