I think the idea of this forum software is to make the website itself mobile-friendly, such that no app is needed.

If you view this on a mobile device, you'll see that it's rendered differently.

Your first job as administrator is then to find out how to change the skin and do it

We also have plenty of options for color/font schemes. Please let me know if you find something interesting. This is just a subset.

OK, so this is what the Slick theme looks like.

OK. Changing the theme requires some updates that will take the forum down for three minutes or so. See you in a bit.

I think not only the preview is "live". You also get updated views of everything else without having to press "reload".

There is the option to disable down-voting, and there is the option to make all votes public, including down-votes.

Are these wrong?

Yes. We talked about the “shadow stats” folks in 2008

Yes, of course we all remember that discussion from just 14 years ago.

If you are looking for a car that has a good "bang for the buck" ratio or is particularly good in some technical detail, then this is almost certainly the wrong car.

The only valid reason to buy a Mini Cooper is because you like the look so much that you are willing to live with disadvantages in other regards.

@George-K From what I understand, their key idea - compared to a normal pulse oximeter - is to use light at many different wavelengths, and supposedly by comparing how much light is reflected at each wavelength they can infer the hemoglobin level.

Also note that they are quite specific about the Bluetooth standard they are using. I'm glad that they don't use the outdated BT 3.0 and opted for BT 4.0. In any case, that seems to be more relevant than pesky details about how this "works".

@George-K said in Kinda Geeky - the story of the pulse oximeter:

Looking around for how Ember measures Hb is not helpful.

They do have some information on how it works and link to various studies that supposedly illustrate that this actually works.

@George-K said in Kinda Geeky - the story of the pulse oximeter:

That's completely false. It is the percentage of hemoglobin that is carrying oxygen. If your hemoglobin is 7, and 100% saturated, you're carrying half the oxygen of someone with a 100% saturation with a hemoglobin of 14.

But the pulse oximeter would show the same 100% in both cases, right?

So, the total oxygen content in the blood stream would proportional to the hemoglobin value multiplied with the saturation, right?

Yes.

Well, that plus a small amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood not bound to hemoglobin. Very small.

I wonder, though, how it is possible that both saturation and hemoglobin level can be measured by means of light reflection.

Time for a few fresh faces. In both parties.

It's amazing how "modern" some of these photos suddenly look. Almost as if somebody snapped a photo with his cell phone yesterday. The color does make a difference.

Hello, are you the NS?

There is hope:

The universe could possibly avoid eternal heat death through random quantum tunneling and quantum fluctuations, given the non-zero probability of producing a new Big Bang in roughly 10^10^10^56 years
