I'm really struggling to understand these numbers.
In some other articles I'm seeing that it offers 100% protection against hospitalisation and death.
"The J&J vaccine was 85 per cent effective at preventing severe Covid-19. Twenty-eight days after the jab, it offered “complete protection” from hospitalisation and death." [1]
Wouldn't having "severe" infection require hospitilisation?

I read it is only 5 years [1].
In which case voluntarily staying in the Ecuadorian embassy for 6 years seems to be a miscalculation.
(At least, staying beyond the point that the Swedish rape charges were dropped).

It was my understanding that Google / Apple do not charge a fee on in-app purchases which are not platform specific and which use third-party payment processing.
Never having played Fortnite, I assumed that in-app purchases are specific to your account and would carry-over if you moved from Android to iOS. Is that not the case?

It was in Thailand.
Haha, I think the metal music was edited.

No. Perhaps in a couple of cases, but on average, I believe it has shown to be safer.

> If everybody converted their bitcoins to fiat currency now the exchange rate would collapse quickly.
You can say the same about literally any asset or currency. If everyone sells, and no one is buying, then yes, the value drops to 0.

I'm quite biased on the whole AR thing, as I worked at Meta for almost three years, but I think that the HoloLens is a fantastic piece of technology, and that Augmented Reality Head Mounted Displays will be the next big computing revolution.
Currently I'm working on a large HoloLens project for the aircraft industry. But the amount of possibilities I can think of with a HoloLens (or similar device) is limitless.
The HoloLens has amazing tracking and latency. In a couple more years, when HoloLens and/or competitors release a device with a large field of view, HoloLens-like tracking/latency, and leap motion-like hand recognition, it's going to be very exciting.

Why? LLCs are pass-through entities. US residents will get taxed as income, and non-US residents will not have to pay any tax if their income is not effectively connected with a US trade or business (which basically means that employees do not do any of the work within the US).

If you read up on research regarding bonuses they also seem to lead to worse performance when it comes to cognitive tasks, and I'm unwilling to work with a company that doesn't use data, facts and reason as some of their driving factors.
Doesn't that exclude you from all major tech companies? Also, I'd be interested in reading this research if you have a link to it?

Why? I do some work on upwork and I find working hourly much more convenient as I don't risk a bad estimate or changing requirements.
Assuming USDC has no funny business like tether seems to, how is this any different than companies like PayPal, which presumably also don't just have a bank account sitting with billions of dollars cash, backing all of their virtual cash?
