360 image was cool. But it made me swipe left and back out of the page.

Swipe navigation in mobile Safari is a problem. Lichess.org recently did a very nice redesign that made it more mobile friendly. But the user can’t drag and drop pieces from the leftmost file because it’s interpreted as navigation. Safari doesn’t allow the webpage to listen for this event so there’s no way to call ‘preventDefault’. Basically unfixable if you want to use the whole screen as far as I know.

It was dusky evening, the clock knobs pointing at the two numbers before midnight all the while a tiny light serendipitously blinking in the distance. It was that moment in time I knew I was about to throw up reading yet another BB article ...

Yeah that wasn't for the faint of heart. Pretty disgusting to be honest.

As someone with Fuchs Dystrophy (which is slowly blinding me), and writing style aside, I'd like to see the aging billionaires of Web 2.0 throw money at more ideas like this instead of at Hail Mary passes to immortality. Is that so much to ask for? I think it's realistic to live to 100 with 90+ good years. Without fundamental breakthroughs in science, it seems like a hard trek to get beyond that.

Most billionaires funding anti-aging are primarily focused on using anti-aging to increase quality of life during those 90-100 years
