I was able to bypass this with safari reader mode


Surprised they didn’t mention hail suppression, which definitely does happen. I would guess it’s not as visible as contrails.

I have wondered for awhile if the tests developed 2+ years ago for the original strains are not accurate for omicron and the latest strains.


If you're curious you don't need to just wonder. There is of course a lot of research looking into exactly these questions. Here is a summary by the FDA:

https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and...


This article seems to be about the tests not detecting early enough. Which could be a test sensitivity issue or even could be a shift in how the new strains interact with our immune systems.

I recently had COVID and found that the test showed a faint bar right after my first sign of symptoms. Because I had plenty of tests, I continuously tested the 4 in my household as symptoms progressed and receded.

Although the visibility of the bar can't reliably be used to gauge level of infection, it did roughly track with my whole family's symptom severity and was confirmed with a PCR test.

After months of using these tests, we never got a positive either until this point.

These were the orange, made in China tests that the federal government is sending out for free.

So while they may not signal early enough to do much good, they certainly seemed to work in our small example.


I have the same PC MasterCard, but in the PC Bank website that was replaced by Simplii, I found that the last character of my password, a period, did not matter to get logged in. I could enter it, or not. It worked either way. Perhaps something similar is happening for you.


Anecdotally, I'm on Telus in Western Canada and I do have ipv6. 10/10 on that test.


LTE or DSL? I'm on LTE in Vancouver and it fails (and has consistently in the last 6 months).

Are you in Calgary? Telus always rolls out experiments in Calgary first. For example, until recently their only deployed GPON networks have been in Calgary subdivisions.


Perhaps not a better website for mobile, but I'm pretty sure the pictured crossings are from Banff national park in Alberta and probably more going into BC. You can see pictures and find more information here:

Wow thanks for your excellent critique. We do have a video, so we should get that on the front page. Test drive is a great idea. Like I said elsewhere we have a great UI/UX on our app so a test drive could really sell people. As for the superhero thing we're going with a comicbook theme..the app is called sidekick, its supposed to help you. So our paid account is superhero. The free account is mostly for tryouts, its limited to 2 users/100contacts which is pretty useless for actual businesses other than freelance. Also good tip about pointing out support with the paid version.


Ahh, I never made the connection between Sidekick and the super hero theme. Good luck with your business!


We think we've got a really innovative UI and we're looking for some feedback.


I like your website, but I was looking for a features/benefits page that would show me why I should pick SidekickCRM instead of the other tools out there.

I skimmed the video and I noticed this bit: http://i.imgur.com/tLJdT.png

Those bullet points listed under "What Sets Sidekick Apart" could be applied to most CRM products.

A small business owner won't say , "We should go with Sidekick because it's powerful and robust!". You want them to say, "We should go with Sidekick, it has a great reporting tool for opportunities and we can easily assign leads to sales people".

Keep iterating and refining your benefits. Good luck! It looks like you put a ton of work in to it and you should show off what really makes it powerful.


Thanks for the input! I see you mean about why a small business would choose us. Our advantage is our dead-simple UI, so we should push that more.


I think it's similar to starting a company. Successfully building and maintaining a safe nuclear power station is more about the execution rather than the idea.
