The dot com bubble ended when the ecosystem of fairy tales and lies which built up around a technology were generally decided to be nothing but hot air. It is true that the technology sticks around but the wildly inappropriate estimates of future finance, social behaviour and technological capability subside after these bubbles burst. Plus a bunch of too-willing-to-believe investors lose a bunch of money.
The insight I was talking about was required by the producer. Products don't have insight.
Cave was expressing an answer to a question about cutting corners in the process of creating music. ( https://www.theredhandfiles.com/chatgpt-making-things-faster... ) There is certainly value in the work of nurses, bouncers and servers, and my interpretation of Cave's other written works leads me to believe that he is a proponent of finding joy and creative expression, even in tasks which don't have an obvious artistic product. AI lacks insight and lack of insight is what can turn a succulent feast of a life into biweekly deliveries of Soylent.
I studied computer engineering. It's not a CS curriculum and it prepares you for the PE test. They also drill into your head that you can only refer to your self professionally as an engineer in Canada if you pass your engineering practice exams. Just to illustrate the difference between a computer engineering workload and a CS workload, I generally had 40 hours of classes, tutorials and lectures per week while my CS friends had about 24.
They insist that they have a genome sequencing company but when I attempted to use them it became apparent that any success happens despite their equipment and processes, rather than because of it. Months of waiting led to admonitions that no valid samples could be found, which then precipitated further waiting for test kits to be re-sent and new tests to be run. Although they eventually refunded my fee (after about a year in total of waiting), that only happened despite their customer service. I was left with the impression that they were selling something that sometimes might work but hoping that you'd be willing to hang around for months or years until you win the lottery and their process actually generates genomic data. Avoid.
Not necessarily the best or the latest evidence...
Hope you can eat that.
I work from home and haven't noticed significant additional wear and tear on my toilet. The same with my sink, fridge, doors and floors. I did buy a chair. It was about 300 bucks and it's a better one than I've ever had in an office.
There is much more information about Long Covid than the general public is aware of. The assumption that it is merely a wide range of vaguely defined symptoms isn't valid.

So caramelizing onions is the culinary equivalent of saying "begs the question".
I was hoping that someone would post this! Lan Lam's recent youtube posts have radically improved my cooking (results or ease of execution) and I'd recommend that anyone who cooks frequently check them out.
"Take a picture of the result"
Let's think about that awhile...
Oh, and particular antibiotics will cure a certain subset of all bacteria. So if you get pneumonia, you'll be prescribed a different antibiotic to what you'd be given if you had h. pylori. (Actually h. pylori is hard to kill, so I believe you're given 3 or 4 different antibiotics to take over several weeks)
Antibiotics don't kill every microorganism. Also, our gastrointestinal tracts are repopulated from food we eat and our surroundings.
There is a wide gulf between "pretty much the keys to good health in general" and "a cure-all to all issues in western society"
Yep.
Embarcadero was bought out by Idera, who has a long history of buying out niche-y software development companies and offshoring development while wringing every last possible dollar out of the now-declining carcass. If you're looking for relevance or innovation, look elsewhere.
Microbes eat fiber. That's what a prebiotic is.
So it's not always debilitating. But it can be this way and still be often debilitating.
(Especially the "Major Findings" section)
They've found a great deal about what long Covid is. See: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-022-00846-2
If it had killed you, you wouldn't be posting.
I was just about to post that nature.com link. So much is known by researchers that isn't well known in the general public.
I had one of these for my first dedicated server. I kept up with the vendor's updates but it still was compromised. So I hope it wasn't running a 24-year old Linux distribution 24 years ago.
"A large study comparing brain scans from the same individuals before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection suggests that brain changes could be a lingering outcome of even mild COVID-19."
It doesn't primarily attack lungs. It's novel, so it hasn't evolved a particular favourite target. It attacks everything. If you really want to hang a sign on it, a large number of symptoms are repercussions of vascular damage (in the lungs, brain, kidneys, etc). Many are arguing that Covid is far more a vascular problem than a lung ailment.
That's not all. We also have "T cell alterations, including exhausted T cells, reduced CD4+ and CD8+ effector memory cell numbers and elevated PD1 expression on central memory cells" which might help narrow it down for the non-believers. I didn't want to post a laundry list, but can post more if necessary.
