Detecting bacterial infections and viral infections isn't close to the same level of difficulty. The existence of a home strep test says nothing about the viability of a home flu test.

Was the story false? Because Polish government sources also strongly suggested it was Russian until a meeting with Biden, where they backpedelled hard... As of right now, the Polish investigation is ongoing and it's never actually bee

This. My son is only 4 months old and between all the naps and feeding, it's maybe only a few hours of actual time actively spent doing things with him. But I do have the luxury of being home all day so I work during his downtime.

Seems like those decisions were more business based and they simply took advantage of some nice PR, since the "anti-woke" bank obviously didn't make money.

Individual developers pay for tools, they just have to be worth it. JetBrains' whole existence is a testament to that. From what I remember, people got super annoyed at Kite for placing ads in open source projects and they just never

The biggest case for the F-35 is that it uses state of the art US electronics. As the war in Ukraine has shown, while Russian planes might have decent airframes (even the Ukrainians are using them to good measure), it's the gap in tec

France has plenty of multinationals, produces research, startups, propagates culture, etc... Yes, by European standards France has tons of ambition.

No you're right, the UK is done. Little to no industry left, they were a nation of bankers and multinationals that exploited their former colonies. But it's not because of Brexit, COVID or Russia. It's because they never a

You really haven't paid attention to anything Russia's done for the last 20 years, have you? They love letting the west know they can "touch" us while maintaining plausible deniability... Also, it's not the only pip

No it means you pretend to apologise but are really talking more shit. Everyone knows the part before the "but" is passive aggressive window dressing and means nothing.

Unless you're in a specific course the ability to jot notes with a pen is huge. Taking notes with a laptop during a lecture is a PITA.
