Oh neat, another service they will hold hostage if they arbitrarily decide to lock my Google account.

If you're building your own framework and server, then yes. Otherwise, all major frameworks handle the communication with uwsgi, etc and you can treat them as a blackbox. Any other setup in-between (like nginx -> uwsgi) is boilerplate stuff easily found in tutorials or LLM chat.

Is it not assumed all recreational drugs cause or have the chance to cause damage to the body?

I always assumed it was a trade off of some temporary fun for x% damage to the body or x% increased chance of disease.

I'd love to work at Google and I'm a really well rounded full stack dev/great problem solver but I don't see how I can get anyone's attention at Google without a CS degree and being 15 years younger. Do you think you'd get the job if you applied now?

It seems appropriate, in this thread, to have ChatGPT provide the summary:

In The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power, Daniel Yergin explains the boom-and-bust cycle in the oil industry as a recurring pattern driven by shifts in supply and demand. Key elements include:

1. Boom Phase: High oil prices and increased demand encourage significant investment in exploration and production. This leads to a surge in oil output, as companies seek to capitalize on the favorable market.

2. Oversupply: As more oil floods the market, supply eventually exceeds demand, causing prices to fall. This oversupply is exacerbated by the long lead times required for oil development, meaning that new oil from earlier investments continues to come online even as demand weakens.

3. Bust Phase: Falling prices result in lower revenues for oil producers, leading to cuts in exploration, production, and jobs. Smaller or higher-cost producers may go bankrupt, and oil-dependent economies suffer from reduced income. Investment in new production declines during this phase.

4. Correction and Recovery: Eventually, the cutbacks in production lead to reduced supply, which helps stabilize or raise prices as demand catches up. This sets the stage for a new boom phase, and the cycle repeats.

Yergin highlights how this cycle has shaped the global oil industry over time, driven by technological advances, geopolitical events, and market forces, while creating periods of both rapid growth and sharp decline.
