Shoot, I called the boom in 2020 and returned 700% over the last six years. Where’s my fund? :P

Yeah. Addiction is usually long-term. Compulsive redosing is taking another unplanned dose of the drug while still high.

* If someone has a negative test after treatment, but that’s not counted as “cured”, does that imply it could (or maybe will) come back if treatment is stopped? Yes. HIV+ patients require antiretroviral treatment for the remainder of their

Very dependent on locality. Mine requires a prescription for every refill, and I must continually meet certain risk criteria to qualify.

We are unaware of any situations where HIV+ doesn’t turn into AIDS without treatment. But being HIV+ is simply having a virus, not actively dying. HIV+ status also never clears - later tests that are “negative” mean your viral load is undet

It’s only a convention in the sense that the IANA is a convention: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/... 192.0.0.0/24, 10/8, 172.16/12, and various other subslices of 192&#

I live in a city and the problems are: 1) sometimes it is noisy at night, usually because of people in cars, but sometimes because of people not in cars; 2) sometimes it takes longer than needed to walk somewhere, due to intersections 3) my

The article puts that percentage at 39%, which falls a bit short of “most” but is frighteningly high.

Why? 10uF is already pretty beastly, and the point is to dampen signal verses intermittent drops and drains, not power the backing device for any amount of time.

The money spent on site and land clearing results in a big empty field? Yes, yes it did, that’s what those words mean. If we’re going to bribe companies to do a thing, we should at least accept when they did do it.

Put an SSD and a modern emulation behind Windows 98 and it flies . You’re excusing inefficient software because it was paired with improved hardware.

Why isn’t it “any procedure performed by a doctor all the time with no limits”? Do you think there’s a cabal of doctors doing medical procedures for funsies? And that if such a thing did exist, it would be a bigger problem than some compa

The doctor has already managed to find time for the service - she’s seen you. Potentially even done the procedure. The hospital has made room for you. The resource is already consumed by you, like a restaurant meal. The question is who is p

Quite possibly! But Google Gemini, who obtains the specs from the same flawed, inconsistent, contradictory, or absent size charts that I have to look at, is not positioned to be the solution to this problem.

It almost doesn’t matter if it’s trained using adversarial distillation - if it’s nearly as good, and one-hundredth the cost, the choice is obvious.

So you estimate costs in months and dollars, and give that in response to each. Very solvable issue.

Yes, in some cases, but this is not automatic, nor even close. The more serious the trial (ex, murder, child pornography), the more likely it serves the court’s interest to use the illegally obtained evidence. See https://doi.org

That’s not how evidence works in Canada. Illegally obtained evidence is still evidence - you simply also have a tort against the officer for breaching your rights.
