Of course the positive rate will go down as testing increases. A low positive rate means you’re detecting a significant number of the cases, which is necessary for contact tracing and isolation.

It takes about a 3-5% positive rate to ensure that you’re getting significant enough coverage to catch a large number of cases. It’s a log scale of diminishing returns below that level but above that you’re missing too many cases for isola

Your state has utterly failed to ramp up testing to get to the recommended < 5% positive test rate that would have allowed contact tracing to function. Testing only symptomatic people is not in any way virtuous.

Why are they in distress though? Is the root cause external or is it something under one’s control, such as diet, sleep, and exercise?

Most of us app developers don’t use it for login, we use it to optimize Cost Per Install campaigns when we advertise on a Facebook property.

I liked it when I first read it 20 years ago, but it also invisibility promotes a fear based perfectionism. The path of getting things done leads to nowhere.

I’m glad to see Millionaire Fastlane at the top of the list. I make money effortlessly in large part due to the mindset of value creation that this book talks about.

I’m assuming list operations and small writes will be much cheaper with EFS.

Yeah, that’s all on you. I don’t know if confidence training is a thing, but you could hit a huge ROI if you level up your extroversion/confidence game.

Having run some products through these types of marketplaces I am not optimistic. Marketplaces only work if they deliver customers, and I’ve simply seen almost no volume of customers searching within these systems.

14 day isolation was a policy choice. There is no reason that other municipalities do the same. We can discover a balance that keeps local r < 1.0

We need to be driving test numbers up until only 3-5% are showing positive in order to be confident about low prevalence in an area. I don't see a problem with false positives encouraging asymptomatic people to get tested - it's

If this app is providing value to the Saudi people it would be unethical to take it down. We’re talking about lives vs an authors pride.

I should clarify that the problems I experience are probably not specific to ZipGrow, but would happen to any vertical hydroponics that require functioning system to keep roots damp. Soil is an amazing technology.

Yeah, they were quite expensive and I'll probably just end up giving them away.

I own 20 ZipGrow towers and have become quite disillusioned with them across 3 growing seasons. The biggest problem is that there is nothing to buffer moisture on the roots if there is an intermittent problem. You might get a nice crop of b
