What it does

On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2013

An identifier system for scientific authors, so that researchers with the same name, or with misspelt names, can be told apart.

Researchers could claim their published papers and link them to one persistent number. In April 2019 it was folded into Publons, which Clarivate Analytics owns, and shares data with ORCID.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
