Looks like I fell victim and referenced the wrong game. Seems like 2048 (correction to my 2046 comment) was a knock off in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threes#Legacy

If you search my username in this thread, you'll see another comment by myself. I can't remember the product name, but there exists a company that makes a UV light system that swaps out for the usual fluorescent light you see in m

I work in this field (infection control) and see a lot of products being pushed, especially lately. One we actually installed in our hospital is a replacement for the regular fluorescent lights you see in every building. It's a direct

Seems like this will be the same as the 2046 craze. Game becomes popular then a million copy-cats and off shoots get created.

To win we just need to print out millions of cardboard cut-outs of humans, AI won't be able to tell the difference and we can then destroy them!

I can only see the top 2 rows of the keyboard. Adjusting the window size doesn't fix it.

Hard to say really. They revamped the webpage but left the product mostly the same (was a Google Sheet add-on). The only insight I have is the "# Users" that gets listed in the Google Workplace Marketplace. I think it's up to

Not OP, but as someone with multiple projects on the go, I can attest to the feeling of release when you offload a project regardless of the size.

Definitely more than that. I sold something doing $5MRR for $2000 on MicroAcquire.

I only watched about the first half of the video, but I understand there is controversy whether this was an accident or a planned wreck. If so, I think there is an easy answer, he should just release the footage of when the engine started t

I built OneKeynote.com - the idea is to create podcast streams of an individual you like to hear, across all the various podcasts they go on. My original motivation was hearing Chamath speak on Kara Swisher's podcast and I loved him. I

So it's likely all in the messaging. If they can get Fox News, Joe Rogen, Trump et al to endorse this pill, it might just convince them.

Problem is that by the time they get there, it's likely too late. I haven't seen the data, but I suspect many of these oral treatments need to be started early in the infection.

This study, with some limitations (mainly data collected from EMRs), suggests 36% of those with COVID experience one or more 'long COVID' symptom between 3 and 6 months following infection. https://journals.plos.org&#x2

Agree, as a young, healthy person with access to top level care (Canada) I'm not really worried about death or long hospitalization, I'm worried about long COVID. I've heard many stories of people losing taste/smell for

Most garbage cans (at least those in dense areas) in my town of Calgary have a little shelf along the top that can hold cans/bottles. I can't see them being used for anything other than holding cans for collection. In Alberta, the

You are right, the space between the T and e definitely look off. And I typed in "Testing" without recalling what kerning meant.

Likely for two reasons. When planning vaccine clinics, you have to assume everyone will wait their 15 minutes and plan that into how many appointments you can book. If you only have a waiting room that can properly seat X amount of people f

I tried the linked test mostly with my eyes closed. I don't 'see' anything, just black. It improved very slightly if I kept my eyes opened and stared at nothing (blank wall, desk surface etc). Not to the point where I could s

A neat idea would be to allow prisoners that don't have internet or computer access to publish their own writing in an easy way. Sure, a family member could take the letters and published themselves, but it might be neat to see the ima

I was referring more to "giving public" advice like advice to his friends. But I'll accept I'm wrong on this though.

No, most definitely not. Vaccinated individuals are hospitalized less, are intubated less, die less, quite simply, they use up our healthcare system less. Lockdowns are in essence a way of preserving that limited resource (hospital beds). W

You likely have to look at this like "all else being equal" meaning you can't just say look at obesity rates in US state with lots of sun and look at low obesity rates in this dark country. There are many, many other factors

Vaccination. Why it doesn't seem to be working is that not everyone is getting vaccinated and there are pockets where the numbers are even lower. EVERY single study shows the likelihood of hospitalization and death is much higher in un

Hasn't that always been the case? Even before the internet, I remember seeing copies of the NYT or WSJ on newsstands everywhere. I believe you could subscribe and it would get delivered to your door.

That has to be one of the best advertising campaigns in history. I've heard non-technical people in the last few years still say things like "I think our new computer has a Pentium or something". The word Pentium was synonymo

Yes, there's kind of a triad of attributes that affects a virus and it's ability to cause a pandemic. Virulence (how sick people become), transmissibility (how easy does it spread), lethality (can it kill at high rate). -higher vi
