Is there any documentation? I am trying to understand why I have target1 and target2 in the same circle for both left and right outcomes.

There is something odd with the stats. If we look at individual age groups listed, the cases for unvaccinated is multiple x higher than fully vaccinated. Then if one looks back at "all ages", the cases per 100,000 people are almost the same. Is there a bug with the charts?

This is heartbreaking. But I can imagine a scenario where a grieving billionaire pays a team to continuously generate new VR interactions, even "growing" the child to adulthood over the years.

Thanks for the tip. I have been sourcing for alternatives to ExpressVPN for China. Last year was pretty ok but on a recent trip, it had difficulty connecting 70% of the time and failed in multiple cities inland and on the coast. Seems like I need to setup my own now.

The graphs on Fig. S2 doesn't seem to map well to the points. I would say these 2 are not related. To me, the mouse looks like the outlier.

Any updates on the free hw decoder by Google? I am hoping to test it on a FPGA (if possible)

I do this to my kids. I don't know if it helps. (The older one is 9 who eats almost everything and a younger picky eater who is 5.) Getting them to try a wider variety of food is often tough since it is easy to fall back on the usual stuff. Occasionally I have new types of food, I would make a small bitesize and use all the powers I have for them to take the first mouth. If they swallow it without tasting, they get a second mouth of it. They have to describe the taste to me precisely in simple terms, e.g sweet, chunky, sour, like apples etc. Often when they have a conscious bias, e.g. the younger one dislikes anything that resembles white creamy sauce, they will say it is "yucky". Yucky is not a taste descriptor. I sometimes add things they like e.g. bits of chocolate. My goal is to encourage them to focus on the taste and make connections like "this ugly piece of food will taste like chocolate since there is chocolate. Btw it is actually sweet as well". Basically, I am trying to address a unconscious bias in their imagination of the taste. It also helps to understand better what they really like and what is totally unacceptable. For example, taste-wise, tomatoes are off limits to my older one ... for now because you never know when it changes. :) Hope this gives you some ideas.

If we can take "freer" out of the argument for a minute.. (because not everyone in the world places personal freedom on the same level of importance)

Better search results? Better quality of information for Chinese researchers and developers? Better road information? Or email? Cloud services?

Has anyone thought about the effects of NOT having google search product and services in China? I read a lot of negativity about how it is ruining the culture and personal beliefs about freedom. Has anyone balanced it with what is the upside to users (not money for Google)?

Don't get me wrong. I am sure it is a massively popular book.

But I have not found stats that break down the "150 million over 60 years". It was published on 1954 + 60 years = 2014. The movies are made in 2001. So what is the % of sales for 48 years versus the 14 years after 2001? I am not sure really.

I get what you mean. Wheel of Time has its slow moments. But then the whole series had a really odd pace. The last 3 books after RJ passed away was too fast and too sudden.

Thanks for the recommendation. I haven't read a fantasy book in a long. This looks like an interesting one.
