Sway Medical has received FDA 510(k) clearance as a Computerized Cognitive Assessment Aid for Concussion.

This clearance expands on Sway Medical’s previous FDA clearance for balance testing in head injuries, officially recognizing Sway as the first fully integrated tool that combines both cognitive and balance testing into one product for concussion management.

Thanks for sharing. I thought this was the most interesting paragraph:

“Air safety investigators attributed Vulović's survival to her being trapped by a food trolley in the DC-9's fuselage as it broke away from the rest of the aircraft and plummeted towards the ground. When the cabin depressurized, the passengers and other flight crew were blown out of the aircraft and fell to their deaths. Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulović pinned inside, landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact.[1][a] Vulović's physicians concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart from bursting on impact.[7] Vulović said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an excessive amount of coffee beforehand and was accepted.[3]”

I am in the United States. I’ve never used WhatsApp a single time. I’m involved in a number of different group chats across many different organizations and groups.

>Why are daily driver cars supposed to be fun?

I think it’s just a matter of preference. Just like you might prefer to spend money and time on some other form of entertainment, some people who have to drive every day prefer to get some enjoyment out of it. Regardless of your judgement on “car culture”, it is enjoyment and happiness for that people nonetheless.

>I think it is ruining America.

This is not an America thing. And it’s not new. Many modern societies, ever since cars have been invented, have had this “car culture” you speak of.

As bad as I want to read past the first paragraph, it’s not even worth it to spend another second on this ad-ridden website.

Interesting analysis. I enjoyed reading it. Seemed pretty much in line with what I would expect.

I am curious where you came up with the 30,000 guess for bootstrapped startups in the following statement:

“X (My guess is 30000 startups) start bootstrapping —-> 2868 list on IH —-> 915 making 10k$ MRR

That puts the actual percentage to be : 3.5% chance of success.”

I worked at Chick-Fil-A for a year or so in high school. One of the ones in a free standing building in the middle of a parking lot of a much larger shopping center- bordering the interstate. A group of 6-7 of us, INCLUDING the General Manager, were big gamers.

At the time, Call of Duty releases were all the rage. The night of the Modern Warfare 2 release, we all closed up at 10pm, invited a few of our friends, and brought in our monitors (mostly 40inch TVs) and Xboxes. We set them all up on the Chick-Fil-A tables and booths and made several batches of Chick-fil-A nuggets and fries. We played 6v6 from about 11:00pm - 4:00am.

I remember thinking how ridiculous it must have looked from the interstate to see a Chick-Fil-A lit up with 12 screens inside through those translucent shades at 2:00 in the morning on a weekday.

That is one of the greater memories of my childhood. It delights me just to think about it!
