While I agree with the sentiment that the term wet market is quite pejorative, the sequence of events is very common and is what happened with the first SARS. New viruses make the leap to humans all the time. It’s evolution baby.

I don’t mean to be snarky but how is that an “unexpected consequence”? Were the pros and cons just never considered when deciding to use micro services? Additional networks calls are one of the most obvious things to go on the cons list!

That’s not what exception that proves the rule means. “Parking allowed only on Tuesdays” is an exception that proves the rule. This is just an exception that disproves the rule, like most exceptions.

If ChatGPT is what we can expect from AI I’m quite afraid. It seems to be usually correct but often spectacularly and confidently wrong. I hope we never give this technology decision making power.

I’m pretty sure this heavily politicised press release is designed to make you think America is back.

Rather than cheat the system to get the project done you probably need to let the project be late and then explain that it was late because IT dragged their feet on app approval. That will make it pretty clear to the powers that be that thi

No I’m saying if viewership was down 50% for this World Cup Fifa do you think Fifa would do this again? Are you seriously saying that you think FIFA care one bit about some TV personality making strident declarations while acknowledging lou

What damage has he done to the tournament? I’m not arguing that he should be dishonest, I just find it bizarre that he could seem so outraged but be unwilling to suffer the minor inconvenience of not watching some football matches. The sure

I loved how he did a 20 minute piece full of outrage and then at the end said he was watching the games but we have to “draw a line” somewhere… I mean how about drawing a line at taking part by watching? It’s not too much to ask is it?
