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.

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.

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.

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)
