Although it's still not that well phrased...

Identifying birds by their songs at least is already available.

For now it's only an android app and not iPhone.

Most of the time it works pretty well.
I found that the noisiest birds in my back yard are the Cardinals and Robins, with a few other things such as woodpeckers.

Following your comment I googled and came across this interesting account of the story of LYMErix....

Well, at least not yet shown to be effective in preventing infection, even if it is effective in generating anti-bodies.

They still need a much larger study where people in the placebo do get infected at a statistically significant higher rate than the treatment group.

I suppose they're referring to the "modern" (post-Gates, post-Ballmer) Microsoft.

Later in the article it says:

I'm a naturalized US citizen, and I was once asked what was my category when I first got a US visa (which I barely remembered). This was shortly after I became a US citizen, and I got more of a grilling than I'd ever had as a green card holder.
Since then I have occasionally been asked where I was born. Having global entry these days has reduced my interaction with immigration anyway.

There's also the classic British pudding "spotted dick"...

It's a typo and should be "billion".

In the table in the article they give it as "$1.2 B"

I had a virus test done (before a minor operation) and it was a nasal swab (with a very long swab!)
I believe this is standard.

If you had a blood test I suspect that was an antibody test.
i.e. a test of whether you had had an infection, not that you have an infection.

Also (black) lawyers in New York as well...

But they might argue that the role of the judiciary is only to interpret laws, not make them, and they found that the law, as it stands, doesn't cover LGBTQ+ rights.
Even if, in this case I wouldn't believe them!

However a lower court did more explicitly write that they would prefer it if a law existed to protect LGBTQ+ people, but they didn't interpret the existing law that way.

Although they don't go far enough.
Talking must be punished with very large fines/severe beatings. (Because talking spreads potentially contaminated droplets).
Noisy popcorn eaters must also be banned. (Because they're a pain in the ass.)

Yes it is.

(And I justified my statement as much as you did yours.)

Is the SARS-CoV-2 virus then the equivalent of Asimov's "Mule" (from the Foundation series) in disrupting the predictability of socio-historical trends?

In general companies create (or hope to eventually produce) a profit, some of which is then distributed to shareholders.
That's why most companies' stock values, in general even if not always and with definite exceptions, are broadly dependent
on their earnings, and tend to increase in value as the earnings increase.

BTC produces no earnings at all. (P/E = 0).
