Weirdly enough, you can install the full version of uBO on Edge, and I think it's a great option for less tech savvy family and friends. It's basically chrome but without the 'make this your default browser' shenanigans.

The article has nothing to do with atmospheric CO2, it is about using CO2 as a proxy measurement for virus transfer.

I have a $5 ESP32 board that does the same, my phone is just the UI!

I used to work in a paint lab. Things things that also affect perceived color include:

- Undercoat color

- Number of coats

- Gloss Level

- Size of colored area

- Surrounding Colour

- Combination of tinters used by each brand. (Different tinters can make colours metameric)

- Light Source (Incandescent, D65, LED, Fluorescent)

- Monitor Color Space (sRGB, DCI-P3)

- Color Space / Model used for conversion (Lab, Luv, Lch)

- Colour Difference dE Model Used (CIE76, CMC, CIE00)

- Precision and spectral range of the spectrophotometer used.

Etc

Its mathematically derived. A0 is exactly 1m2 in area. The side lengths are at a ratio of sqrt(2), that means you can cut any A paper size in half and get the size below it. B series are the same ratio, but B0 has a width of 1m instead.

I'm not an expert in pharmaceutical chemistry, but this looks like a series of relatively complex and low yield reactions. Would it be likely that this would push the price of this product beyond what is reasonable for a general use drug?

Oh wow, i never would have made the connection. 'Lock In' was one of my favorite books growing up.

That bill is an amendment to the aforementioned act.

But yes, I'm confused as to whether it applies to online gaming, or sites such as wikipedia as well

Where i live, 80% of all vehicles are passenger vehicles. I'm not sure that the extra wheels on semis would make up for that difference, especially with the slow increase in size of passenger vehicles.

I used to follow the development blogs of the witness. I remember reading somewhere that accessibility was why you can beat the game with only 7/10 sections complete. You can completely skip both the colour puzzles and sound puzzles and still finish the game. Its an interesting compromise.

As someone who is colorblind, you are correct. Those puzzles are just about impossible for me.
