True, but I think a fairly uncontroversial one. The subject of the first photo is the Brandenburg Gate. The subject of the second photo is a climate change protest. The subject of the third is a man dancing.

Search was always a byproduct of Advertising. Don’t blame Google for sticking to their business model. We were naive to think we could have nice things for free.

I mean, 'compose the best symphony' is not easy because it's subjective, but certainly 'sing these lyrics in the style of the Beatles' is not future tech, it's now. Similarly, AIs have huge successes on the sto

Because we're idiots and terrible at forward planning. Currently pensions and retirement ages are based on the idea that there will be some large cohort of people working to pay the pensions of the folks that are retired. In fact, gove

That's not true for code which gets pre-compiled. For interpreted (or JIT-compiled) code, then yes, by definition, the source needs to be distributed to end users in order to be executed. For compiled code, only the resultant binary ne

THere's some evidence, yes, but there's also research that suggests that ketogenic diets can lead to increased risk of heart failure, blood pressure issues, increased risk of kidney stones, so it's really a bit of an evaluati

I find this a bit problematic. I'm not sure that the metabolism of glucose is anything other than a proxy for brain activity, and so this may just be expected behaviour (hardly a shock that someone with ADHD has less brain activity in

Thanks—I may well be wrong about OCD.

That sucks :( sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, that wasn't the intention of my comment at all, and to be clear, I am not trying to refute any individual diagnosis. I strongly believe that those suffering with mental health issues, whether they

Absolutely agree on the 'spectrum' point, and I would argue that it's not that case that 'normal' people can be somewhere on it, but everyone is on it, even if they're all the way to the left. If we take OCD

Not just teenagers. How many adults have you come across who (inappropriately) describe pedantry as OCD, or losing focus from time to time as ADHD, or being a bit withdrawn as 'autistic'? There's no scope for people to simply

Yep, that just emphasises how stupid the standard is. Others have mentioned Westward Ho![0] which is in England and contains a non-alphanumeric character. For Wales for sure, often there are two versions of the place name, the Welsh, and an

Standards are just that. You can say that you can standards are the 'minimum, not the maximum', but if the standard says only alphanumeric characters are permitted (and it turns out this isn't a very well written standard, so

While that is true, nevertheless it’s nice to consider that people are human and make mistakes. It can be quite difficult to ‘correct’ that mistake once made, as in order to disable notifications, you often need to open up the chat app itse

Short answer: no. Longer answer: Logically, the answer should be zero, but it's actually not that simple to categorise either 'non-smokers' or 'a smoking-related illness'. Taking lung cancer as an example, approxima

Also worth remembering that cancer isn’t the only bad thing smoking does to you. 7/10 smokers (2/3) die of a smoking related illness.

You can use a third party NPM module to introspect the DB and write out types for you. Can’t remember what it’s called off the top of my head, but maybe “pocketbase-type gen” or something like that.

In a vacuum, there’s no problem. Unfortunately though, those same incentives also incentivise risk taking and dangerous driving.

A lot of the delay in finding a cure was due to a lack of interest in finding a cure because of social stigma around HIV. You say it took 14 years for the first mitigations after HIV started to be noticed, but we could like move much faster

That’s a fair point. However, I did a quick search and it seems that untreated, the average prognosis for someone with HIV is 8-10 years. With the right motivation, a lot could be accomplished in that time.

I am not sure. In a lot of countries, access to healthcare is not dependent on the wealth of the recipient, or the goodwill of an insurance company.

We’d work harder on finding ways to reduce spread and extend the lifespan of the infected. I think we’d manage. Already HIV and AIDS are highly treatable, and lifespans are measured in years and decades rather than days and weeks.

They can’t really self-prescribe though, they are not allowed to prescribe drugs to humans. In fact, in many jurisdictions, doctors are legally allowed to self-prescribe. Perhaps the difference is that vets can both prescribe and dispense d

It should be fairly possible to determine the time an aerial photograph was taken by studying the angle cast by shadows in the photograph.
