If only viruses were a simple catch the virus -> get the illness relationship. See Mononucleosis, chicken pox, and I'm sure there are many more examples. As much as I love XKCD this seems to gloss over a lot.

I am using it in production but my product has (almost) no users. Hopefully it will grow. I plan to replace it with Postgres as needed, but it offers some interesting new ways to approach certain problems, and creates interesting new proble

They are paying for space (sometimes beyond 100,000 per month) that the competition is not paying. Office space is the highest expense.

Keep in mind some of the best and brightest minds in the past, some cutting edge medical experts, were highly paid to perform lobotomies. And that is just one example. I was reading recently about cutting edge "medicine" back in t

Why turn it off (mining)? It is literally electrical resistance heating. Sorry for being glib but maybe it could actually help subsidize the electricity cost.

Isn't this the sort of thing university is not meant for? In Canada we separate out college and university, and this would mayyybe make sense as a college level course maybe, since it is more geared towards trades. But this sort of thi

Bitcoin is like bit torrent. A technology that has legitimate use cases in theory, even can be really truly useful tech, but is used mostly for shady things.

Yes I've also heard the paper filter removes some toxin from the bean (which has very small amounts). Is this related?

It's easier to get hired as a male teacher because university and teaching school grads demographically skew female. There is less supply of male teachers ultimately which causes the high demand for male teachers is what I've hear

Your comment does totally make sense. But I also wonder, would a "Men's Teachers Club" for example have the same level of acceptance?

Isn't the point way up that nurses are quitting. This creates a burden at the hospital. Why are they quitting? Because they are treated like cattle instead of employed human beings. See the court case on the hospital suing the nurses i

Seems like it could be the bread and butter for Amazon's new fintech startup - BNPL loans which is perfect for hyperinflation based economies! Coming soon to a country near you!

Yes does any one know when first light photos will appear? I know it is very unknown but I've seen many NASA employees live suggest there will be some interim first light photos to come and I am super excited to see them.

I prefer mocks over real services because I onboard many people to a repo. Too many services attached to unit tests turns into a fatigue until eventually no one runs the tests any more I found.

I was a member of a union where i.t. was involved in that union and I was a software developer. We shared an emergency iPhone that we swapped every 2 weeks. When it rang and DevOps called, we were paid time and a half and recorded each hour

Oh fun hack. Store the peanut butter container closed on its side in the fridge. More surface area seems to help the separation issue and the fridge solidifies it so it has less chance to drip or leak.

Would capturing 100% of the market granting a monopoly essentially grant unlimited upside? Cause you can just jack the price to absurdity? Also wouldn't reducing cost to zero have an infinite upside as well? Basically zero cost you can

Smoking helps me through the "grindy" parts of programming, like you have a set goal in front of you with many small tasks and the way they all fit together can be held in your mind in one go. When it comes to idea deadlock, like

In Canada it's not so much how that works especially Ontario where I am at. Yes some illegal sales got rolled up into the legal market, but very little. It's very strict to be legit here. All the illegal money for rolled up into r

Open source always trails professional software solutions. Yet always time after time will eventually surpass it as the bleeding edge moves further. Maybe we can view it in such a way that major companies have become too reliant on free ope

Humans don't actually live any longer. We just have less mortality at the lower end of the age spectrum which brings up the average. And it seems we still have predators if you consider covid maybe? Many countries on earth have a negat

Yes but looked at another way, this is taxpayers subsidizing real estate investment. The act of buying all the units by the government actively raises the collective price of real estate making it an even more lucrative investment.

Are they also raising prices of CPUs? Arm chips? Your argument is based on an assertion that sounds like it could be right, but is it? Hasn't every country in the world been injecting cash stimulus into people's hands in an epic a

You make the claim they are forced but do you have any sources for that claim? All I can say for sure is that now, they are forced out of porn. This problem is not directly a morality problem. It is a chargeback issue. More like chargebacks

I solved it by duplicating the data. Because a physics object when created needs a starting position. And sometimes you need to 'reset' the position and just having one position variable won't allow that. The rendering logic

I've kinda lost track of the analogy at this point. I'm surprised I was downvoted so much. I didn't have a strong case to begin with. To try and carry on, if I was paying for product reviews like companies do for the rating a

I don't think this is an oracle problem. I watch reviews online for products I want to buy. Seems to work fine. But let's say now legal action is threatened for any negative reviews. What happens to the trust now of online reviews
