+ ~90% of individuals achieve immunity It could also refer to 90% reduced severity. A 60% vaccine can reduce the severity of the illness by 40% so only 40% of the expected number end up in hospital.

This is impressive and would work really well in a lot of sites, especially ones with static content. However it misses two important reasons to use a single-page app: 1. SPAs allow for highly interactive interfaces with custom components,

When I fasted I remember the feeling of energy kicking in around day 2-3. I had moments of supreme clarity but also moments of fuzziness. The energy boost was real though. I continued to exercise quite heavily so didn't't see any

Most of what a good police force should be doing isn't adversarial. The police should be trained like peacekeepers.

I had a friend doing this in 2003. He had a spreadsheet that could read road signs with a lot of white noise applied. He called it foveola vision. It was super impressive. He later converted it to a C library but the concept was essentially

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was trying to point out that ideally you could just leave the old API there for old software to use and build a new API for new software to use. If it wasn't for security bugs you coul

Maybe I'm missing the point here but I couldn't see where this article mentions what they were trying to do in a web client. Surely that should be the first variable to consider?

This is an interesting idea. An interview is a two-way process though, so I wonder how you could ensure that an interviewee could test & probe the company to be sure it's a place that they would like to work in?

I'm British and I had exactly the same thought. It's also surprising that they failed to mention sword-swallowing—any other British news outlet would have shoe-horned that into the pictures no matter how orthogonal (or inappropria
