Sports betting has grown far beyond who will win a game or whether the spread is covered. Every game offers numerous opportunities to place bets. Such microbets unravel the many plays that constitute a game into a sequence of uncertain actions, each of which can be gambled upon at lightning speed in real-time.
Gradually releasing TV show episodes, rather than offering full seasons all at once for binge-watchers, significantly increases engagement on subscription video-on-demand platforms and leads to substantially higher subscription rates.

On 15 August 2020, the Danish Heath Authority (Sundhedsstyrelsen) issued regulations, that among other things, required enforcement of physical distancing, both onboard trains and in public facilities. In many cases, the regulations set a target of 50% capacity. This was enacted on longer distance trains by implementing mandatory seat reservations, which were offered at no charge with a mobile phone app. However, on suburban trains and metros, there are no customer service personnel (conductors) onboard trains, and thus no one available to enforce these reservations. Copenhagen suburban trains have passenger counting technology, and so the national railway company, DSB, implemented a mobile phone app that could display the current occupation percent of individual trains in real time.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said Tuesday that more than 79,000 residents were receiving the COVID-19 vaccine each day.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker has toyed with the idea of mandating that all college students at state schools be vaccinated prior to their return to campus in the fall.
