Very nice. Part of the trick is that when a cell dies in the 2D space (Game of Life), it fades to black rather than goes black immediately. -- Russ Abbott Professor Emeritus, Computer Science California State University, Los Angeles On Tue, Sep 28, 2021 at 2:49 PM Jon Zingale wrote: > https://

Cool. I really like your "buffering" concept, like a graded lipophilicity/phobicity suggesting some groups can mix more quickly/slowly than other groups. Perfect miscibility doesn't seem right. Neoliberalism/globalization seems a bit too far down this path. If "Let's fly to Paris for lunch" doe

It depends on the location. In public transport or at the doctor people here in Germany still need an FFP2 mask, which is similar to N95 masks in the US. In supermarkets or at work the lighter medical (or surgical) masks are sufficient. In places where everyone is fully vaccinated or outdoors us

To the extent there is a difference between the US and the global alignments, there must be membranes that prevent mixing. Property rights provide a basis for membranes. Immigration law describe how others membranes behave. Religion, ethnicity are further membranes that people adopt to set

Piggybacking on Gillian's question, are N95 masks commonly available in the USA? I've never seen one in Ecuador, but the KN-95 (Chinese version) have come down in price from initially around $2 each to around $0.25 each. On Tue, Sep 28, 2021 at 3:00 PM Gillian Densmore wrote: > What masks does e

I generally regard GenX as born within 1965-1980. But there's some flux, obviously. There's some confusion between the phrases "GenY" and "Millenials", I guess. But it seems safe to make them the same. I'm glad you brought up energy drinks and alternative drugs that I wouldn't have normally tho

Tlaxcala, the existing city, is just north of Puebla which is one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico, albeit rather French architecturally. It's also close to Cholula where the Spaniards converted a Native pyramid to a hill upon which they built a church. That's my favorite part of Mexico. --

Well, it's worth noting that SpO2 is *not* a good approximation to SaO2 under a pretty large variety of conditions. So, given that most of our electronic health record data is seriously dirty already, adding even more, dirtier, data doesn't seem all that useful to me. Add to that the fact that
