   Same here. German though. Most people are fine in my experience. 5% get irritated.

   A couple of years ago I forced myself to sleep with my mouth shut. It helped undry me mouth. But, through my own pressure I started to be a heavy teeth grinder in the night. That’s definitely worse for me.

   A while back I flew to Moscow as a consultant to do a 1 day workshop. All went fine. The only thing that irritated the hell out of me was that no one laughed at any of my jokes. Not even smiled. I thought it was the translator.

   What I really dislike about Twitter it’s how different users play by different rules. Take the name for example. Any other platform has a clear written or unwritten rule. - HN: usernames - LinkedIn: real names - Twitter: a mix On Twitter, y

   Listening to the Prof. Drosten Podcast (German only), he highly doubts that they actually had reached herd immunity before their second deadly wave. He rather assumes something like 40% and then the mutated variant raged on (not badly affec

   There is actually an app that translates those cryptic ingredients into “good” and “bad”, in Germany at least: https://www.codecheck.info

    I am unsure what you are suggesting instead. Should we ignore everything we know from the past?

    Fair enough. Thanks for your perspective. I should give it another chance I guess

    I agree with you on almost all points. The realism of the series was what I really liked about it. I stopped watching it though once the "protomolecule" stuff started. What is backed by science about it?

    This is a very fair point. But don't you think that this is affecting speed of transmission but not the fundamentals of the disease?

    Sorry, if I used it out of context. I was under the impression that virus formation (copying, mutations and all that) was indeed a statistical process. But maybe I am wrong?

    Yes sure, this is theoretically possible. But what happens if we use Bayesian reasoning? - We already have 4 other Corona Viruses endemic in the human population - More than 80 percent of confirmed coronavirus cases are not severe (probably

    It insane how people/media outlets simply ignored what has happened in our past. We had many pandemics. Why should this virus now be radically different? Our immune system would not have survived so long if we kept getting critically s

    This is some clever marketing! I went back to look for that code. Is there a name for this? It's not exactly an Easter egg, is it?

    Great app! Is there any reason you don't have a team section? I personally find sites with some people I can relate to much more trustworthy. (I am not saying your site isn't, just trying to be helpful)

    I love the location data. I couldn’t live without on my iPhone / iCloud. It’s great for pulling up pictures of which you remember the place but not the time for example.

    The two dips in 2013 and 2014 are interesting. It's definitely not a straight line up.

    Might be also be attributed to attention bias. Interest in fungi steadily grew -in my perception at least- over the last years.

    You need to a background check on the founders. If they had already exited successfully, then anything gets funded.

    This is just anecdata: but I’d say yes. I had a number of friends trying to get VC money for things which haven’t been done before: either you gotta be someone already in VC space, eg a successful founder or you have to pitch an idea that’s
