Unmodified C elegans can certainly live to 3x reproductive age, fwiw. These are all simplistic model organisms by definition but many nearly identical proteins are found in humans …

In addition to the other comment, it's also missing a lot of card types that Anki supports. However, I think this is made up for by the knowledgebase features, so you can use it to…

I can wholly recommend Mochi: it’s great looking but also quickly becoming feature competitive with Anki. It’ll be a long time before anything hits the long tail of Anki features, …

Amazing who you run into on this site. In High School (~2010 on) I played through your games as fast as you could make them. Thanks for the hours!

HIPAA, maybe. HITECH and Meaningful Use would be more relevant (2009 onwards). It's been a while, but I remember thousands of pages of granular user-interface-level requirements (t…

Computer-savvy people dismiss dark patterns like this as mostly-harmless prodding, but it really disorients the less able. For all industry pats itself on the back for accessibilit…

Very true; downtown feels like disneyland for the suburbs. I really hope it can make the transition into a more coherent city.

You should adjust the "mid-game start year" and "late-game start year" sliders at game setup. Note that those are just the earliest possible start times, and the chance starts roll…
