Give me a truly sunlight readable display (transreflective polarized lamination or whatever works well), a high fidelity glass trackpad, good keyboard, solid case build quality and decent internal specs and I'll buy a new laptop.

Really cool experience and lots of fun while training/testing one's powers of observation and deduction. Did you harvest the clips manually?

I would pay $10 a month for an ad free search engine that serves objective (not "personalised") query results related to what I'm looking for that doesn't sell my data, with similar features to Google Scholar and ideally even greater granularity, but for the whole web.

Try to get into the kagi.com beta, which could be exactly what you need. The results are fast and accurate, the hardest problem for me was finding the right browser extensions that would make it the default in Safari.

This is to prevent MPs and civil servants from evading professional communications logs rules, right? Right?

Climate crisis aside, the absurdity of bitcoin mining parasitically profiting out of a local geopolitical situation like this is very ...illustrative.

The intramuscular vaccinations currently available were never going to stop the spread and anyone familiar with animal studies of similar approaches to CoV vaccination knew that. Stating bold claims unsupported by balance of evidence and knowledge of mechanisms was a deliberate choice of messaging in hope of increasing campaign uptake.

They're helpful for preventing severe disease and death, for now -- this effect seems to be significantly offset by reduction in risk avoidance behaviours and government support for said behaviours.

The first gen vaccines do appear help somewhat with reducing infectivity period somewhat.. but once again this benefit is diluted when people are told to burn their source control (masks) and get back to the office.

We need better vaccines deliverable to mucosal membranes for infectious aerosol entry point protection and released under open source licensing. We also need better early treatments with sound scientific basis, and better post-acute-'recovery' sequelae treatments developed with the basis of a growing understanding of endothelial and immune pathology downstream of SARS2 infection.

Second from last but not least, we need efficacious airborne transmission interrupting non-pharmaceutical interventions that don't rely solely on individual behaviour. Finally, it would be nice to have fewer grifters and influencers blocking sound action while spreading nonsense.

Evaluate the methodology first, then the authors, then the publication source; scoring accordingly.

The CDC now says you can cough into someone's mouth if your boss says it's alright.

The last two years of second order effect guessing miss-steps has seen those at the helm of the organisation burn through generations of credibility like a hand launched bottle rocket.

Because Bonnie Henry more than make up for any pre-existing cultural countermeasures like weed smoking prevalence.
