At some point Netflix will have to stop thinking about how to get 'new subscribers' and focus on how to 'keep current subscribers'. It's all great if you can recapture the interest of burnt customers with new flashy

In a previous video on his original channel he talks about the first strike which was made against on of his tutorials by a company who published their tabs a few years AFTER he posted the video.

I used to live in the UK 10 years ago and back then it seemed like double glazing was some sort of luxury while where I moved from it was the standard and people were converting old houses to it as well. Where I live now people use triple g

HPV shots are safe and effective. Hep B is effective and the effectiveness window is being extended as time goes on. When I took Hep A/B vaccine I was told that it would last for 10 years. Right now the estimate is at 30 years.

In Poland, where I am from, there is both obligatory vaccination programme and schooling; yet the antivaxers are plentiful. The obligation to vaccinate rests on the parents (+requires their approval from what I understand) and their current

Right now they are saying that 95% had a substantial immune response. But we do not know whether it is substantial enough and lasting enough. Imagine that it is both for less than 70% of vaccinated. 5/6*0.7<0.6 (and yes, 0.7 is to p

This is a very dangerous approach and would just add fuel to the antivax fire. Even if drugs/vaccines are effective that does not mean that they do not come with severe side effects. Imagine injecting the whole population with Thalidom

In Sweden, the best CC deals are the petrol station branded CCs (Shell/Circle K) as they both give you cash backs, have some insurance, have the standard grace period, and are "free".

Jupytext [1] has been a good option to keep scripts alongside notebooks. The advantage is that it also keeps both versions synced so you can edit whichever you want (just not at the same time, as the browser will not live update cell conten
