1. Transparent public toilets in Japan, they turn opaque when in use.

2. Guide to the coronavirus genome. Lots of substance in this one.

3. What if the economy does not tank in August?

4. Researchers can duplicate keys from the sounds they make in locks (link fixed).

5. Netflix and complacency: “Netflix is testing a ‘Shuffle’ button, because you’re tired of picking what to watch.” Or is it serendipity?

6. Detailed and very good WSJ article on how America fell behind on Covid testing.
