Not really, if you want your new platform to instantly become one of the most used websites in the world. Why should he care about twitter's brand name?
Could also be why you can't find a job. You may be too expensive, and they're looking for engineers in the sweet spot of cheap/can keep the machine running.
>Maybe they want Putin to invest more and more and grind Russia down slowly? Losing too quickly would leave Russia with too much left? Of course, the cost of such a strategy would be borne by the Ukrainians, who pay in blood.
I think this has been the conventional wisdom for a while.
One thing I ask people who are vociferous in their support of Ukraine (and our paying for that support) is, how is this going to end?
Russia quietly bleeds out and overthrows Putin? Is that realistic?
If Putin is a madman dictator, do you really think he'll just whimper and disappear?
It seems necessary that a negotiation take place at some point, and that negotiation result in lost territory for Ukraine. It's not a question of justice, but practicality.
Why would they want less time spent on the site? That's optimal perhaps for the user not site, and the article discusses how the site is designed to keep the user searching.
Out of interest, does anyone have any book/article/resource recommendations for writing a programming language? This is something I would like to revisit, not to write a 'good' language, but to revisit all the concepts I was introduced to in college in practice rather than in theory.
I'm not sure that I like the term 'Web3', as it implies that everything will move in that direction, which I don't think will be the case. I just refer to it as the Decentralized Web. Centralization has many benefits over Decentralization and vice versa. Its a very healthy thing to happen though.
I do think it has a place, and is a promising emerging market. Which is why I've been interested in learning development in that area.
Thank you. I'm not aware of the complications of developing an anti-viral for this disease (and I'm not going to go into the debate around existing anti-virals). I did not intend to be dismissive of the effort involved. I'm coming at it from a place of real frustration.
I can't see how this pandemic ends without an effective treatment.
Vaccines are specific and usually take years to produce (this time being the exception), it was more of a question than a statement of fact because I genuinely don't know (hence the use of 'surely', it seems intuitive to me but I really can't say.)
>>Or would you rather that they stopped the development of vaccines completely and focused just on the treatment of symptoms?
No, but surely it would be easier to produce an antiviral for home use that would alleviate the symptoms of Covid-19, rather than relying on the development of a vaccine, and then demanding almost universal uptake for it to work?
Then we could have had vaccines for the sick, elderly, immunocompromised and whoever else wanted them after a while, and treatment of symptoms for everyone else.
We knew, pretty much from the beginning, that Covid was here to stay. I would like to know what the path out of this pandemic is now, now that we still aren't discussing treatment and are talking about additional boosters.
Why do people keep saying this? I have literally never received a flu shot, they have always been reserved for the sick and elderly
Why not, instead of shots, do these pharmaceutical companies not prioritise developing an effective at home treatment for the symptoms of Covid-19? It's very hard to see light at the end of this tunnel, which appears to be becoming a booster merry-go-round.
This is the kind of post I would expect to see on Reddit, not here.
It's up there with "Porn viewers are more likely to be respectful of women" on the science sub-reddit, I didn't even bother to read the article because come. on.
I think there is enough evidence now to pause the vaccine for young people, like Sweden and Denmark have done. It's simply not worth it for a young person.
