Paywalled for me. Perhaps someone could fix that?

I can appreciate the minimalism = focus argument but I don’t subscribe to it. My Chrome and Firefox tabs sync across devices as long as I’m signed in, as do my bookmarks and extensions.

Isn’t that what tabs are for? That said, I have hundreds of open tabs (and tens of thousands of bookmarks).

Define big and bulky. But fair enough, that’s why lightweight 2020 pandemic redesigned versions are desirable. $33 is 9 cents a day averaged out over the year. Double it so you have a spare; that’s 18 cents a day. Not out of reach for most

Seems like there’s no trade off to over-engineering health and safety in the context. N100 would be adequate but the P100 additionally provides a broader spectrum of air pollution exposure reduction which in the context of infection contro

It’s surprising that after a year, people still haven’t figured out that reusable elastomer respirators with long life replaceable filter cartridges and >99% small particle filtration effectiveness are the best option from the perspecti

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. That’s a good point.

Stranger things have happened in 2020 than that! It’s a win-win. Superspreader nodes either get their vaccine or they become aware of how much they’re already tracked may begin to consider the nuances and implications.

Some people’s insecurities make them allergic to (admittedly tenuous) attempts at humor in face of absurdities and so they downvote as if they’re on Reddit.

From a sheer infection control standpoint it makes a sense to vaccinate hypermobile social superspreader nodes first. Anyone who comes into contact with lots of people is going to be responsible for more onward infection chains than a reclu

Looks interesting! I'll take it for a spin. If you could change the app homepage to not hijack scrolling on macOs Chrome, that would be great.

Have you considered a solid oxide fuel cell to charge the batteries and increase the range? They can run on anything from ethanol, to LPG, to hydrogen.

This is premature at best and a potentially misleading statement by the WHO. Perhaps things haven't improved as much during the summer as we'd like, but seasonality is difficult to disaggregate from non-pharmaceutical countermeasu

Exactly this. Give me a simple but high res screen in each eye of my glasses and a split, flexible Bluetooth keyboard I can set down or strap to either leg (perhaps). I'm tired of being tethered to my laptop and would pay for the privi
