This is very interesting. Another valuable information, albeit involving quite a bit of work, would be to show parameters associated with that specific area.

jyoshi | 5 years ago | on: Covid vaccine: First ‘milestone’ vaccine offers 90% protection

Perhaps its something like "90% percent of the individuals' immune system are successful in quick eliminating covid without any symptoms or adverse reactions".

I admit I know very little on how immunity to diseases work, but I imagine that with viruses there is a chance it'll progress to a full blown infection even if you are vaccinated in some cases.

Music perception varies so it might be easier for you to hear a narrower interval. I can imagine it being closer so it doesn't mess up with your perspective, whereas with a larger difference you might lose your comparison baseline from the first.

Mine definitely started with a much larger interval. 1/64th only did not come before 1/32th, also. I thought they were trying to trick me as if it was ordered, but in the end, it kinda was for me.

It seems that most of the heat impact of global warming is absorbed by ocean waters (https://e360.yale.edu/features/how_long_can_oceans_continue_...) Coral reefs typically live in rather shallow waters (less than 500ft according to wikipedia), because of their dependency of sunlight. So at this depth, there is already a strong daily variation due to day/night cycle, and I imagine a 1 degree average warming on earth is much potentiated in this environment.

Perhaps there is something to be done actively in short term in those environments to prevent this warming, but its so fragile as there are countless interactions between all the microorganisms that I that must be an enormous undertaking, if even possible.

For the longest while I used this to tell my friends in high school I had a mini-superpower. Because I knew when there was a television on in the house, and somehow none of them heard it.

There is an old telly in my apartment, I turned it on to test it last week and heard the tone again, must have been like 18+ years since I last turned one of those on.

It never gave me headaches but I definitely heard (and still hear it) all the time.

jyoshi | 5 years ago | on: Look ma, no mouse: Vimium

I've been using vi-like shortcut plugins (vimperator, pentadactyl, vimium, vim vixen and many others, currently using tridactyl) for quite a few years now, and its never been quite the smooth experience I hoped for.

Not even talking about interfaces where you'd expect to need to use mouse (javascript components and others), but there is always the page in which the shortcuts will fail, or some input which will be blocked because the plugin is fighting the webpage for focus. Its pretty much what the article says at the conclusion, it helps reducing, but I still view it as a hassle.

Browsers developed with vi-like modes built-in (vimprobable, vimb, qutebrowser) fared better for me, but then there's other issues like incompatibility or lack of plugins which keeps me from fully using them.
