I've never seen a more text book example of changing the subject when you don't have a real answer. sk0g and hobofan point out a key benefit of animal testing, explain why there is no alternative at present, and rather than addres

Here's someone playing with the concept even earlier though. It did the rounds on reddit at the time, so I'd assumed it was the inspiration. https://twitter.com/watawatabou/status/1197194111171940352 (in

No, you have still misunderstood. The NHS model collects more data than the google/apple one. The idea was that that additional data would allow limited testing capacity to be used more efficiently. For example, false positives for out

It shouldn't take you hours to code these new features. And 1000 nodes isn't enough that you need fancy performance from a library. I suspect you want to extract a few basic functions from what you've already written, and the

Supply and demand makes sense as an explanation in a lot of these cases, but it doesn't actually explain this one. If facebook were just charging a market rate determined by supply and demand, then your salary would drop when you becom
