It may be time, soon.

If you don’t own your data, someone else does. That’s when blockchain comes in. A good example is health records.

There’s a saying, Chris Slee says, “You can’t “if-then-else” your way into a self-driving car.”

You can’t teach someone procedural memory, such as jumping correctly. So how do we fix this?

This project used body tracking to make certain the exercise is done correctly to ensure your procedural memory is learning the correct thing.

What is machine learning?

Giving a machine some of the information and asking it questions, then seeing if the answer matches what you already know to be true.

70% of the time, the answer is not intuitive. Correctly implemented, it can give better insights.

This idea started out as a design for an accessible workout machine. It got integrated into the cloud to be able to do more with scheduling and tracking reps. But machines wear out, and with machine learning, we can predict maintenance.

Next up we have Chris Slee with Machine Learning and Blockchain Use Cases!

In Pac-Man, this isn’t a life or death situation. But if something like this happens in the medical field, for example, this could be a life or death situation. It’s not just important. It’s absolutely necessary.

So how do we prevent this error? Making it bigger is one option, but it’s not always possible. Whether it’s old technology or old languages (looking at you Y2K), this has not always been a possibility.

[Westerville Web @westervilleweb]

Memory is a circle, so there is something called a rollover error. So a -1 becomes a 255. There are several of these examples: Gandhi being the most aggressive player in Civilization instead of the least, Swiss trains being unable to have 256 axles, WhatsApp’s chat size...

[Westerville Web @westervilleweb]

We wanted to try something different this year and offer recorded sessions from our monthly meetups! There's a few technical challenges left to work out, but we hope that by doing this we can increase the audience of some of our _amazing_ speakers!

[Westerville Web @westervilleweb]

First up! 3D Printing is Limb-itless. An amazing talk on delivering 3d printed prosthetics to those in need.

Some more recommendations from @adam3cc to build inclusivity into the design process. Accessibility is important and it’s important to not just check the boxes, but try to do right by others.

[Westerville Web @westervilleweb]

Are we building the right thing? Or are we building things right? We can only bridge the gap by putting ourselves in the middle. Or if not ourselves, the right people to test out our products.

[Westerville Web @westervilleweb]

That w3c list is great. But it’s a lot. So here’s a good start of some recommendations from @adam3cc himself. And most importantly, share your best practices with your team.
