Curious why they painstakingly arranged the frozen bonito into the truck, only to then toss them into the water at the destination. Why not just empty the cart into the truck instead of manually transferring the fish one at a time?

I am not convinced a single lamp placed over the dining table would provide sufficient irradiance to inactivate viruses and other pathogens in the large room. Consider having an infected individual sneeze or cough at the table. The expiration jet would spread so rapidly. This lamp is like a tiny flashlight placed above the dining table. Furthermore, far UV gets absorbed by oxygen in the air. The net irradiance of far uv is worse than 254 nm at a fixed distance from two equivalent (in power and form) sources.

The lamp would be effective if you were able to quickly circulate the air in the room past the lamp.

It is wild that the founders have very little experience in the space, and that their claims are based on sparse research. That said, the Substack article doesn't seem any more credible. Other than the name DC Fusion LLC, I missed any indications that the founder was working on a fusion startup. The article correctly identifies as an opinion piece but doesn't seem worthy of credible referencing.

Someone help me understand why the Ray-Ban branding? Meta should be able to make the frames themselves. Ray-Ban doesn't seem to be a strong enough brand that Meta couldn't go it solo and build a glasses brand themselves.

I'm a debut author and not established by any means. I do have marketing experience and can provide the following suggestions:

+ Put all apps and books under one umbrella brand. Your book doesn't have a unique name associated with it. Little Math Genius or Little Math Whiz, for example.

+ Setup an umbrella website (littlemathwhiz dot com) and blog

+ Start aggregating a user mailing list where you can provide gentle updates (beta test new features on quizmathgenius, new book announcement etc)
