iamlolz··on Australia's overuse of antibiotics driving rate of drug-resistant infections
I wasn't disagreeing, just adding some more context to this thread.
iamlolz··on Australia's overuse of antibiotics driving rate of drug-resistant infections
Apart from the other observations in this thread I wonder if part of the issue is the work culture here. If you call in sick there is often an expectation or requirement that you will go to the GP to get a medical certificate to "prove" you're sick, and having a "cold" isn't typically an acceptable reason for not showing up for work.

I haven't had to worry about this in years but while working in retail I periodically found myself at a GP and being prescribed antibiotics when I would have otherwise stayed home to rest, if I didn't need that medical certificate.

iamlolz··on Ask HN: What is the best income stream you have created till date?
I've recently been considering building a Shopify app(product renting) but I can't figure out if there is a demand. A similar app has <10 reviews. Do you have any advice?

iamlolz··on Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge
To add my experience. I looked at rolling out Coinbase commerce a couple of years ago and then again a couple of months ago. I found their current integrations lacked support or were seemingly abandoned.

Contacting general or merchant support often took over 2 weeks to get a response, which was a deal-breaker for any service that would inevitably impact customers on our end.

iamlolz··on Ask HN: How to get a Logo/ Corporate Designs in 2021?
I ran into this problem yesterday trying to find a frontend dev to implement a magento 2 design. I tried the usual places and even tried to hunt someone on dribbble but none of them brought up anyone with those two filters.

Is there something similar for creating an overview of an entire web application to plan and communicate feature set, server stack, application structure, scheduled jobs, etc?

Out of curiosity, what else do you use it for?

Well I'm going to give it a go. Thank you for posting above, you've put me on to two valuable resources. :)
iamlolz··on Ask HN: As a developer, how can I take advantage of time spent driving to work?
Thank you for responding. It sounds really interesting and I think I could use something like that, I've purchased it on Audible and will listen to it next.

When you were doing the Pimsleur courses, how far did it help you progress? Did it stick with you?

iamlolz··on Ask HN: As a developer, how can I take advantage of time spent driving to work?
I've heard "How to win friends and influence people" mentioned regularly. What impact did it have on you, if you don't mind me asking?

Was starting to wonder if it was just me - thank you.

The same thing happened to my digital ocean VPN.
iamlolz··on 'Mr. Robot' creator on the evils of Facebook and hackers in Hollywood
I'm quite fond of this tv series so far. Definitely the most accurate portrayal of "hacker" technology that I've seen on screen, that I can think of anyway.
iamlolz··on Ask HN: Soliciting critique/feedback for your technical architecture?
I've been wondering the same thing lately. I tried posting to the NodeJS subreddit, but it's near deserted.
iamlolz··on Microsoft Shakes Up Its Leadership and Internal Structure
We buy Bing ads and they covert better than Google. Though there's far fewer referrals.
iamlolz··on The Agonies of Picking a Product Name (2011)
Because a business shouldn't constrained to fit an available domain. Dropbox originally registered getdropbox.com because dropbox.com wasn't available. If they'd worried about an available domain name they wouldn't have ended up with something nearly as fitting.
iamlolz··on The Agonies of Picking a Product Name (2011)
I'm in two minds whether or not to consider if the domain is available when choosing a name.

On the one hand I don't think it should be a factor, on the other hand I know I'll be checking anyway.
