I don't know how they are measuring productivity. For me it is insane productivity boost.

Here is how I use it:

1. Investigate issue in the codebase

2. Write unit tests.

3. Quick experiments.

4. Help with terminal commands and one off scripts.

5. Boilerplate code.

6. Work at higher level than language syntax.

7. Avoid wasting time looking for solution on the internet.

Winner takes all model. Hard to compete with apps that are spending millions of dollars a months on ads.

It would be interesting to know who funded this research.

Your bottleneck would not be the building of the test (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/brands/thermo-scient...), but the FDA approval. The CDC was able to get emergency use authorization from the FDA in 1 day for its test, but you are not the CDC.

Why would I need FDA approval if I want to use test for myself or friends? Bio hackers do all kinds of experiments with CRISPR technology.

This was long overdue. Thank you. College coaches get paid millions of dollars a year, yet when a poor athlete gets rent money for his dad, all hell breaks loose. Let's stop pretending that college sports is anything but a glamorized professional sporting franchise, and pay the people who make it happen. Actually, this bill doesn't even ask the colleges to pay the athletes their fair market value. It simply allows athletes to make money from their own brand. Not sure how anyone can be against this. If someone is making money off me, in a free society, I sure should be able to make money off myself as well.

NCAA literally has the slave model and most likely has origins in that mentality. Just like a race horse can't ask for money because it is a property of its owner, student athletes are not any different from NCAA perspective. It is strange to think that such rule existed for so long in the "free" society.
