Ouch. Not at all the case. Stumbled upon this article and thought it was interesting. I fully agree with the opinions here that the author of the article writes some strange things as well, but still thought it was worth sharing..

As others have pointed out there are certainly better sources for the same information.

My thinking was either the OP didn't read all of it (bad) or didn't find the tinfoil stuff shocking enough to completely disqualify the rest of the content from being worth reading (bad) or the OP simply agrees with the article author (bad).

The fourth alternative "Well the article was interesting and I didn't really think just one crazy tinfoil paragraph changes that" doesn't make any sense to me tbh.

I've the opinion that you don't have to 100% agree with an article to share it though. Can still have interesting parts. And the discussion about the article and the author (being right or wrong) itself can be insteresting as well!

But this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard) mentioned above, was maybe better source to share indeed.

A comment history that shows very brief activity nearly half a year ago, with regular activity occurring well over two and a half years go, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that you’re the original owner of the account.

I've started wearing fingerless gloves. That solved the pain in my hands completely!

Interesting--do you attribute it to compression/stability, warmth, or something else?

I'm not sure. I didn't have really cold hands but I do think that the fact that my hands are kept warmer is helping the blood flow go more easily?

Any particular gloves you recommend?

Nice to run fullscreen or cast to your tv.

Seems like the virus has a greater chance of spreading when its host is behaving more social.

That's a freaky (sorry, but it fits) idea. I mean, it does seem that rabies increases the likelihood that its hosts will bite others. And respiratory viruses cause sneezing. So it's not impossible that selection pressure could drive viruses to modify behavior of hosts in other ways. Something like black-box decompiling.

Fevers are a response of the human immune system, and so are subject to human selection pressures.

But pathogens have a selective pressure to game the host immune system in spreading them further

Or you are more likely to get help if you are a bit more thankful than normally

That's a very good counterpoint. Human species did evolve to be social "pack" creatures already.

I see a possible multi-billion research program there.

They say that ~50% of a lethal dose of just about anything will get you high.

I want to know more.

This idea seems to be done before and seems copywrited as well: https://qlocktwo.com/en/

“Copyright”, is something you get automatically in most countries whenever you durably persist some kind of creative expression.

It does not generally prevent you from copying a design like this. A word clock is a concept: but that requires patent protection, not copyright.

Yes, the qlocktwo is the only other high end word clock I've found on the market. But they were not the first with the concept either. There are TONS of DIY projects and kits available on the net. Personally, I didn't want to make a DIY "project". I wanted a finished product with different styling than the qlocktwo.

See here:

And look at the Customers who viewed this item also viewed row.

They even have a wrist watch. Wow. https://qlocktwo.com/en/qlocktwo-w/

Yeah, how is this not infringement?

Otherwise, we would see $79 mass-produced word clocks at Target.

A word clock is a concept that requires patent protection, not a copyrightable expression.

Lots of people that have seen my work have said "you should patent that!"

I don't see anything that is obviously patentable to my wordclock design or others that I've seen. IANAL but I do hold 4 patents (and other pending) in other domains so I have a little bit of experience.

Oh, sure: I was just clarifying that copyright doesn't help here. Honestly I think it'd be a silly patent? But USPTO grants lots of silly patents.

Again, I disagree.

The original wordclock concept was based on a piece of artwork.

As being artwork, the artist creator is afforded the protections of copyright.

ahh, got it. Thanks for the clarification.

It may be worth your time to consult with a real intellectual property attorney, not us HN IP fanboys.

You have alot of time and money involved in this endeavor.

I mean copyright, not patent.

The original concept is based on the artwork of a particular artist and their company.

Mot if it is based on an original work of art.

The 4x4x4 is far more difficult then the 3x3x3. The 5x5x5 is almost the same as the 3x3x3 with just one extra step, though it takes more time to solve. The cubes with even numbers (4x4x4, 6x6x6) are more difficult because these have no fixed centers.

You're right, sorry. I've changed to post title to make it clear it's a direct download link.
