Testing capacity in Germany will be increased by up to factor 10 to up to 400,000 a day (!) by doing pooled testing. E.g mix 16 samples and if negative - all are negative, otherwise binary search for the positve(s). Could of course be used worldwide. https://twitter.com/cieseksandra/status/1244663632815968257

Writing a statement and then interspersing it with 👏 emojis must be one of the most annoying things I've seen on Twitter.

What's up with that, are you pretending that there's an applause for your hot take?

Great things happening with 3d printing currently. It's proving to be a vital tech in combatting #COVID19.

An Italian company have made a ventilator mask from a snorkel and 3D printed part.

They're sharing the design files royalty free with the world.

Remember the story of the guys who made replacement valves with their 3d printers to save lives of Covid-19 patients in Italy?

The manufacturer of those valves, charges $11 000 per valve and is threatening them with a lawsuit.

Why is this possible? Because of patents. And this is why I'm against patents and the artificial scarcity they create.

An Italian hospital ran out of ICU valves. A local biz brought a 3D printer to the hospital, redesigned & produced the valves in a few hours.

“At the time of writing, 10 patients are accompanied in breathing by a machine that uses a 3D printed valve.”

I love switching between VPNs and seeing how media outlets tailor their headlines depending on who they think the audience is. First image: CNN from Europe. Second image: CNN from America.

Movies always say stuff like "hull failure in 22 seconds" or "core meltdown in 10 seconds" but Windows can't even yet do an accurate file copy progress bar.

This is not the price of bitcoin.

It finally happened! The flight attendant asked "is there a doctor on this flight?" and I leapt up and said yes!

Did a tracheotomy at 30,000ft with a razor blade and ballpoint pen.

He didn't make it, but the thrill was undeniable. Thinking of going to doctor school now.
