But I agree that to really get the most out of a book, reading cover to cover is likely most immersive, impactful, maybe followed by listening to the auduibook from start to finish.
The UK scientific advisory group SAGE published a few months ago that combination therapy might be useful to avoid 'antiviral resistant' strains of SARS cov-2 evolving. Perhaps these 3cl protease inhibitors may be used in combination.
Agreed for audio quality. It's hard to listen to with only the left channel working. It might be worth reuploading it with balanced stereo.
With probability a number between 0 and 1, percentage is between 0 and 100.
From the study in your source [1] the P(death|infected) = 0.005 And Russian roulette P(death | play) = 0.16
In percentages:
Covid19 - IFR = 0.5%, Russian roulette = 16%
From this calculation based on the recent New York antibody study [2] the average IFR across all age groups is 1.31%. (0 + 0.017 + 0.067 + 0.13 + 0.45 + 1.26 + 3.16 + 5.4)/8 = 1.31%
This is a much higher IFR than flu or H1N1 (IFR was 0.02% in 2009, 65 times less).

We need to give the scientists and medical professionals and industry more time to figure out how best to prevent this. There are many reports of 40-50 day illnesses in young people due to not clearing the virus. And the poorly named 'mild' case can be rough. It's (badly imo) defined as when a patient doesn't require hospital. It should be called moderate I think. [1]

All researchers, doctors should see this video & cited papers to evaluate potential.

"March 2019:
ICANN receives 3,300 comments uniformly opposed to the change and 6 in favor of removing price caps, and sides with the 0.2% minority.
May 2019:
PIR responded to the comments with an open letter that said,
“We are a mission-based non-profit, and would never betray the trust that you have put into .ORG and us.”
On 7 May, Chehadé registered the domain for EthosCapital.com.
On 13 May, ICANN decided to lift the price caps anyway.
On 14 May, Ethos Capital was incorporated as a new investment firm founded by Brooks. Ethos Capital has two staff: Brooks and Nora Abusitta-Ouri, a former ICANN SVP who later worked for Chehadé and was also a classmate of Chehadé."

"Facebook has a history of betraying users' privacy and trust. They've faced record fines for this and have been caught hiding privacy breaches from their users. This is the starting point for bringing a device with an AI-powered smart camera and always listening microphone that is sending data back to Facebook regularly. They also say they do human review of audio snippets unless you chose (and take the time to figure out how) to opt out. The question comes down to, does Facebook have your best interests at heart when it collects all the data this device is capable (*fixed typo) of collecting on you. In the past--from Cambridge Analytic and beyond--the answer to that question has way too often been, NO."
1. Unclear boundaries of data. How many points of data are being collected and sent 'home'? CPU performance? OK. Device name, pc username, usage duration, times the program is opened and closed. System account email address, IP address, hostnames contacted (i.e. websites visited), WiFi-based location, webcam stream for inference of end-user mood, microphone for emotion analytics? These are all examples of telemetry that could be argued are 'needed' for purely for product improvement.
2. Even if only a couple of data points are collected, it is very possible to identify the real name of the end user through analytics of the data. This inferred information is very valuable, and definitely is then a privacy issue.
I hope the vast majority of developers and company execs don't intend to 'do evil' with this information, but unfortunately we have seen examples of this from public companies, despite auditing etc.
1. Concentrate on your users, audience, customers, fans. Figure out what they want. Develop a deep connection with them.
2. Improve your skill, expertise, competence, product. How can you get better? How can you make your product better for the people who use it?"
There is also a responsibility for well-informed people to encourage and join initiatives that are 'good' and interesting. This is the way ethical and useful initiatives can be promoted and can 'win' in the marketplace of ideas.
With applied history, they could be actively studying ways to prevent mistakes of the past. Then also, blending with the contexts of modern-day life, inform more useful ways of living in the present and future.
Suppose your boss decides they want to run a quiet experiment on you.
They tell you to install an employee clock-in app on your personal phone and that you will be paid for your commute time if the app runs in the background.
Access to GPS, other sensors, etc. are required to install.
The privacy policy tells you that your privacy is important to your boss, and that your data will only be used for analytics purposes and will only be processed by third parties for viewing and juicy gossip purposes.
Your boss then can see in real time on his laptop what shops you go to, what time you go to sleep, what worknights per month you go to a bar. Where you go on your weekends.
If this feels a bit bad, then it shows your data has value to you.
(Replace boss with -coworker, -aquaintance, -online corporation(s)... )
A full FOSS/FOSH phone is new territory. They're still allowing pre-orders on their website if interested.
I'm hopeful that it will be a good Linux phone when production is done in January.
