It's also right to point out that mathematics can be done in solitude — but in my experience, that solitude is anything but passive. It takes a kind of disciplined internal dialogue—working through examples, forming your own structures, asking endless questions. (I quite like the way Paul Halmos puts this: “Don’t just read it; fight it.”)

...which makes me think that Uber ratings may have less to do with the driver and more to do with the person giving the rating. I, for one, struggle giving people a bad review knowing that their livelihood depends on it — it's either 5 stars or crickets.

Admittedly, I spend maybe 5-15 minutes per day on average and most of that I do in a rush, but the expectation still sounds fair -- reading would be relatively passive knowledge too.

One example to look out for is the back-and-forth between Columbo and the baddie. They would usually stand in opposite ends of the room and shot from two (sets of) cameras. One camera is closer to Columbo and the other is closer to the baddie, so when the detective is "winning" an argument, he'll look bigger on the screen and vice versa.

This usually starts with a shot where Columbo looks super small somewhere in the back of the room, then he'd ask his famous "just one last question", and then they switch the setup. Now Columbo is bigger in the front, and the baddie looks small while they are in trouble.

(a) Wordpress (b) SquareSpace (c) https://strapi.io/ (d) https://prismic.io/ (e) https://www.contentful.com/

The output will be a simple website, we already have all pages in HTML, and from the tech perspective we could use any of the above.

What I've seen was: SquareSpace is still rather limited, Prismic and Contentful are around $500 per month in their non-free-tier, and Strapi is just too expensive to find devs for. Plus their editor looks the same as Wordpress's if I'm honest.

On the other hand, Wordpress has a massive community of reasonably priced freelancers, has updates many times a year, and most things you want out of the box (such as SEO, or easy hosting on Heroku or elsewhere). The only thing it doesn't have is the excitement to work with it :)

Is there a good business case for any of the competitors?

Having seen a lot of these videos before (we've been working on making apps truly accessible), I never actually came across someone who didn't use the left/right swipe as a first plan of action, but hey ho, you always learn.

(I wonder if it depends on mental models, and whether you prefer building a 2D map of the screen to moving up and down in a 1-dimensional vector.)

To be on the safe side, they could have lowered the risks of a bad outcome by things like (1) catching a smaller viral load (2) actually prepare for it and catch it at a convenient time etc. (Someone who's actually interested would research this longer.)

Surely it's safer than the home cooked vaccine, and surely the favorable option on a risk vs potential benefit analysis. Would make for a boring blog post though.
