_jstreet··on Loss of smell could be a 'highly reliable indicator' of Covid-19, research says
There's currently no evidence to suggest that you're immune after an initial infection (as far as I know!?)
_jstreet··on Earthquake detection and early alerts, now on your Android phone
Made me think of [that artist who spoofed a traffic-jam in google maps](http://simonweckert.com/googlemapshacks.html). I wonder how many devices it would take to spoof an earthquake, hopefully this is designed better.
_jstreet··on Ask HN: 3D Modeling Tools for Woodworking/Furniture?
Matthias Wandel has a website - https://woodgears.ca/ - which contains a lot of guides/useful things for woodworking. I don't believe he has any 3D modelling tools, but he does have some software to help with building wooden gears, and other useful things.

Doesn't strictly answer your question, but if you're looking to make "simple furniture" 3D modelling is not strictly necessary, you can do a lot with a few simple measurements and 2D-designing.

_jstreet··on Most trees alive today won’t survive in the climate expected 40 years from now
Worrying news. There's a YouTuber - CodysLab (relevent video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sghWcjGYSxY) - I watch that experienced this exact die-back with pinion-pines.

It's interesting to see how a marginal increase in temperature can have huge impacts on the ecosystem, for example incests able to survive where previously they couldn't.

I'd also be interested to see what the impact of a large number of tree's dying out would cause - growing up deforestation of the rainforest was a huge environmental issue (and continues to be).

_jstreet··on The CSS Standardization Process
Can we get "2011" added to the title?

I think it'd be interesting to know how the process described has evolved/progress in the last ~9 years; is it still much the same? To give some context, CSS3 was "released" around 2011.

> the standard part is slowly growing, the part still in development has been growing as well, but should eventually diminish.

I'm also curious about this, the article seems to suggest that new features would become more standard several years ago..
