Funny, this article says 'they don't know why it works'. I remember the doctor saying that as well. "We are not sure what it is. But we know the virus responds to it and has been effective." So, maybe that was it?
Sorry, this was a long time ago when I was in middle school to high school. As a kid, who would know to keep that? That was all I could remember. My family and I thought it was essentially magic. Even if the black spots on my hand were unpleasant looking for a while. (Knock on wood) They never came back since.
To add my story, there is another solution that is available.
When I was born, I had a wart on the bottom of my foot that I never thought anything of. But during my teenage years (~20 years ago), the wart started to multiple. It eventually became a small wart colony on the bottom of my foot and began to bother me. I went to see a foot specialist. They discovered that warts are actually a virus and could be treated by taking an oral medication. Apparently, the virus responds to something in a pig's liver ( I don't remember the name). But I took this pill for a few months. The Dr said, if the virus responded to the medication, the warts will start to turn black and begin to spread throughout the body. The black skin is the wart cells dying off. The medication has a really high efficiency rate (I think it was like 70-80% of the time it works). He was right. I went about once a week where he would scrap the dead black wart cells off my foot. The warts also spread to my thumb and finger. But keeping to the medication. They all went away and the skin grew back ( no marks or scaring). It was literally like magic. Yes, it hurt when he scrapped the dead cells off and it took a long time (~3 months maybe?). But they never grew back. The Dr said they will never come back because my immune system will fight it.
To add to the duct tape part. I believe (can't remember), at first, That the doctor would apply duct tape to my foot to help speed the effectiveness of the medication. But only before it started to turn black. Afterwards, he just used a bandage. I didn't use or need it for my hand though.
This is not really shameful advise. As a Software Engineer in 30s, with occasional side work. I make more than $140k alone. This is not to mention my wife in marketing, who does well, so we are above $200k combined both working remotely now. Now I wouldn't do $1 million because that would just be too big of a house. But we are currently doing half that on our renovation which is feasible even with the increased construction costs. I agree there is more to the costs like property taxes. But I know people in the city who's rent is above $3k a month in rent just for a studio who are now considering buying because it makes more sense now. They also make a lot more than me doing the same thing. But even when all is said and done, factoring in mortgage, utilities, taxes, etc. My wife and I will be paying around an extra $500 a month for an actual house than renting an apartment?
It isn't just the data people fear. It is the product support, hardware decisions, and lifetime of the product. One, they have been become known for not making great hardware quality (See recent Pixel line issues). Besides Pixel lineup, there have been multiple hardware issues so they are not known for quality. Two, they have been known to screw up hardware features and do their own thing, see Nest lineup. This can be seen as a good thing and as a risk. An example of this is they like to 'beta test' new features on the customer to try to get an edge on the competition. But it can backfire and provide a worse user experience. I am referring to the Pixel 4 with Soli sensor that killed the battery. There have been other instances where they add a new feature on Android or WearOS to only drop support later. Look at the Google Cardboard, dead. Even WearOs they had to rebrand. Third, they are known for dropping support for a product after what 3 years? Just look at https://killedbygoogle.com/ I use to be a huge Google fan in terms of both software and hardware. Their software is still great. But the competition is catching up. So where does that leave Google in the market? I realized that the Android phones from other hardware vendors are a lot more impressive and cheaper. So will I buy a new fitbit after the first 4 I had broke before Google? I don't think I will any time soon until Google's reputation has changed my mind when it comes to hardware.
DISCLAIMER. I don't work there. But I know professors and met people that did/still do. It does depend on the position.
First, their infrastructure and resources are mind-boggling impressive.
Second, it is more like any other job you would normally do. You have deadlines, get it done. Somethings are more fun to work on than others. Yes they have pros(including perks)/cons like any other job.
Third, you loose your life to the company. They normally are at the office all day and Saturdays. I know people who love this and others that hate it. Essentially, all your coworkers become your friends because you are always with them.
Yes, I am told they have their own Ubuntu flavor they use to work on. Servers are constantly building software. Every company has a VPN, this is normal business practice.
This is in the Debian bug list, not on the chromium bug list. The maintainer who replied is not a chromium developer, so I don't blame him that he doesn't have a lot of time to look at chromium's source code since a 'modern web browser' is really big. I have built chromium from source before. The android application alone is 44MB, not including the libraries, just saying, for one person to 'look' at chromium will take awhile to do so.
The person who replied did have a good comment with the 'chrome://net-internals/#sockets'. It will list specifically what this person is looking for.
There are plenty of books online. I would recommend creating your own project and finding something specifically you would want to do with that topic. For a class project my group and I did something simple, like a minesweeper bot. It also included a screen scrapper to scrap from windows and created our own minesweeper game including the AI part. It had about a 30% failure rate because it would get stuck on the 50-50 chances of it picking the wrong square. But that was a lot of fun. We did a bunch of statistics on it also.
This is a very broad topic because it can range from everything from 2D to 3D and different genre games.
Yes, I also believe this a great news. I can't want for the day for me to jump in the car from the bar drunk as hell and my car drives me home. But I also agree with the anti-government types in the respect that the government should not be forcing technology into law. I mean this not because the 'OH MY GOD THE GOVERNMENT IS SPYING ON ME'. But I mean in the way that then there is one a monopoly on the technology and how the law is written. If the law states 'contractor A' will supply the hardware, or that the law states 'must use bluetooth technology' or 'must use wifi or radio frequencies x,y, and z' I do have a problem with that. If anything it should be 'optional' because I don't want more features in my car. I also know plenty of people do NOT want this because they don't want all the 'features' and just want a car to get from point A to point B. Not only that. But this will also increase the cost of the car for development and hardware, etc.
Yes, I agree, sadly. That is what this country has come too. Democracy failing, and two parties have too much power and in essence it makes no difference because they are the same business party. The nominees are usually just pawns playing a role for personal gain. But it shows that things need to get changed. Best example is that in Georgia you need to fill out 12 pages of paper to vote. They do this to intimidate people who can not read from voting (usually the 'black' vote) where as in NJ they don't do this. Elections being a joke and a government agency trying to corrupt it is another thing all together.

Hmm, I didn't think about it that way. That is a valid point. Also, which ever party the president holds, doesn't he/she technically can use the NSA to their advantage?
