I quite like DoodleChaos' work on Line Rider. It's less of a visual masterpiece and more of an audio one. Line Rider in general just puts a smile on my face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmLh6UvLo14

I see that I may have been a bit snarky to start off my response and in an effort to be clear, I'll see if I can refrain from coming across as an asshole. >Goodness me, it seems you love to talk politics and a decided one side view

Goodness me. I hate talking politics but let's not make the mistake of getting into false equivalency. The Trump presidency has gathered a cesspool of supporters and sycophants who: 1. Have at best maintained prosperity and growth (m

Hey, I appreciate that you have an opinion on this matter, but your opinion is directly opposed with scientific evidence on the matter. It turns out that wearing a simple surgical face mask dramatically reduces the detection of coronavirus

I'm not one to touch politics, but wearing a mask is absolutely not a political statement. It's a sentiment that has been politicized, but the scientific argument for wearing a mask is very strong. See the study published in Nat

I've read the executive order and I feel comfortable saying that I'm happy to commit my properties to housing quarantined folks with four caveats. 1. That they buy out the entire hotel and do not expect my staff to work. Essential

Your intuition is correct. To contextualize this, I own and operate hotels and restaurants in the US and internationally. In this particular case, my cluster of hotels in the Bay Area have seen our revenues drop by roughly 50-60% in the fir

As other commenters have mentioned, Harvard has also enacted a similar policy. I'm currently not in Boston, but I received an email this morning essentially instructing me to not return to campus for the foreseeable future. A family me

How do they make money? All audio is processed on device, but is the goal to use the public training/learning to tailor a more robust model which they can sell commercially/integrate into apps/phones/etc?

First off: thanks for the reply. Secondly, how could I forget about the LHC...doh! So it does seem like it is possible to get a spacecraft spinning up to speed. It'll just require a lot of effort and even more capital.

The idea of launching objects into space using a catapult interests me if only because my physics profs in high school and university all have at one point or another shot down the idea of space catapults. Since I don't remember exactl

With great certainty, I can say that most all police and first responders in the US and Canada have been trained on how to handle a suicide. Whether or not they recall and follow through on their training, that is another story. Please, if

I don't quite trust a digital BP cuff. Airplanes aren't really loud at all. I've done vitals in the middle of louder crowds or in the back of a rig. Anaphylaxis is only treatable with epi and fluids.

What if the clients are wrong? What if they think they need something, but it turns out that they have a bad interaction with the drug? There is a reason doctors undergo training and are held legally liable for mis-prescription. The service

What you're referring to is classed as EB5 immigrants. It's been around since the 1990s and for fairly good reasons, up until recently, few people actually took advantage of it. What changed was the introduction of a group of peop

When I have free time, I spend some time working on ALS ambulances to maintain my certification level. How EMS works in the US generally follows this path: You get sick. You then dial 911. A dispatcher talks with you, routes your call to an
