Because they don't want to see the ads being discussed here? The parent's key point is going cross-platform to take market share from WhatsApp, not the exact funding model.

I think the journalism results from this: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo... If so, it appears to be neither original research nor a systematic review. I think it's worth being sc

This quote sets off alarm bells for sensationalism: "People who do not perform very well on a treadmill test," Jaber said, "have almost double the risk of people with kidney failure on dialysis." The quote doesn't a

People working on your project have the choice of using the requirements.txt or not. I would think core developers use the loose dependencies, with the aim of testing the latest and fixing the bugs. Someone has to move dependencies forward

I assume that someone working on the project would do: pip install -e . in a virtual environment. I thought this was quite well-established. Is there a problem with it that I'm not aware of? pip freeze > requirements.txt

Whenever talk in Python-world goes towards packaging, I feel like I have been transported to Javascript-world: it's never clear to me what concrete problems are being solved by the new tools/libraries. This article seems well-writ

Apple’s authentication of those factors, or a separate entry point. It is not certainly not unheard of to leave gaping security holes, sometimes ones which bypass multiple security measures (why the downvote?).

Higher rate of complications during birth, more interventions (instruments), which in turn are associated with tearing/episiotomy. The implication that this never happens without an epidural is wrong of course.

The rate has fallen a lot in some countries, so there are large differences ( https://patient.info/doctor/episiotomy-and-tears ). The main reason it has fallen is that there’s little difference in short or long term cons

Are you talking about the US? Many countries with state/cheap healthcare also have high rates (Europe). In the UK, I’d say there’s a bias towards “the natural way” (not offered epidural, counselling for elective CS, NCT antenatal cours

Don’t be so sure. I can’t find good research comparing the two, but it seems generally held that CS recovery times are longer. I see NICE quoted as saying no risk difference between the two methods but longer recovery times for CS ( https:&

I don’t think c-section after successful induction is common. There are some number of failed inductions (i.e. nothing happens) which result in c-section. Bear in mind that this is generally done - like the original induction - because “giv

I don't think that's what is being suggested. They aren't asking to be in charge, they are asking to experience the (potentially automatable) problems first. The leaders do not tend to be associated with the front lines.

I think Rust also does not have tail call optimisation. Nim and Crystal I'd heard why relying on underlying compilers, and could sometimes fail to get it (perhaps more than you'd expect using a compiler more "directly"?)

Almost everyone I know who flies recreationally would pay to reduce 12 to 8, and I have done so myself. Maybe those routes/budgets are not a big enough proportion of the overall flight volume?

There's a discrete outcome that gets you into that status. The actions and the way they are judged seem just as fluid and subjective to me.
