Over the past decades, many developers are self taught. And online communities and resources have only improved over time.
>The entirety of these gains accrued to workers with above-median experience at baseline; less-experienced workers saw no significant change to weekly pay. Approximately one-quarter of the earnings gains can be attributed to experienced workers making up for lost hours in Seattle with work outside the city limits. We associate the minimum wage ordinance with an 8% reduction in job turnover rates as well as a significant reduction in the rate of new entries into the workforce.
And the physical disciplinary punishments are brutal.
Oh and you have to keep this up for 5-10 years. Very reasonable to see why someone would not want to commit to this.
Many of the warrior monks were trained as very young children so they had not much say in the situation and just had to deal with it.
The duration of flu symptoms, by more than 1 day (median time, 53.7 hours vs 80.2 hours; P <.0001);
The duration of fever, by nearly 1 day (median time, 24.5 hours vs 42.0 hours; P <.0001);
The length of time viruses continued to be released from the body (median time of viral shedding, 24.0 hours vs 96.0 hours; P <.0001); and
The levels of virus in the nose and throat from 24 hours through 120 hours.
Relative to oseltamivir, baloxavir treatment resulted in similar median time to alleviation of symptoms (median, 53.5 hours for baloxavir vs 53.8 hours for oseltamivir; P = .7560) and similar time to resolution of fever reduction (median, 24.4 hours vs 24.0 hours; P = .9225), respectively.
However, baloxavir treatment was associated with significantly reduced viral shedding duration (24.0 hours vs 72.0 hours; P < .0001) and significantly lower levels of virus in the nose and throat at 24 hours and 72 hours.
"It is unclear why the time to alleviation of symptoms was similar in the baloxavir group and the oseltamivir group even though baloxavir showed greater antiviral activity," the authors write. "The findings suggest that the symptom benefit of antiviral agents may have a ceiling in self-limited influenza illness in adults, perhaps because viral replication levels are decreasing by the time of presentation and illness pathogenesis is linked to host proinflammatory responses."
Overall, baloxavir was well-tolerated and had a lower incidence of adverse events reported (20.7%) compared with placebo (24.6%) or oseltamivir (24.8%). The most common adverse events were diarrhea (3%), bronchitis (2.6%), nausea (1.3%), and sinusitis (1.1%).
"The antiviral effects that were observed with baloxavir in patients with uncomplicated influenza provide encouragement with respect to its potential value in treating complicated or severe influenza infections," the authors write.
I read earlier in the month even Google has caved in, despite being an example years ago by refusing to participate in censorship
But then I know their primary priority is to increase revenue/profits. Can't do that by being blocked out of such a massive market.
Cause if I can pay a highly reliable driver for less, what's the point?
It's highly embedded in the global food, textile, and raw materials systems. Typically at the lowest levels.
For example, Cobalt is a mineral that is used in virtually all batteries. The supply is heavily concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which notoriously utilizes slave and child labor to extract the mineral. Sure companies are trying to avoid slave extracted cobalt. However it is extremely difficult to do that. Slave operation A can just simply sell their product to Legitimate operation B and sneak into the supply chain.

It's not a new concept. Most consumers like you and me benefit from this via cheaper prices, and will not stop consumption patterns.

It basically says they are going to do the minimal effort required to protect privacy while avoiding regulation.
