PhDs do the research. Not your typical overworked family practitioner.

They don’t develop treatment protocols or testing modalities either. Knowledge gets disseminated as best practices and gets applied as needed to different specialties.

If probiotics is what you’re after, why not eat or drink something fermented?


Firefox + ublock origin. Nothing was hijacked, I saw no ads, and I found the name in the 3rd paragraph. You can improve your web experience immensely.

I find this funny.

On tv, back in the day, we used to have mandatory ads. They were part of programmming..

On web, people."feel" its the same thing. "Oh let the poor owners earn a bit" because of sob stories of content creators and "only source of income".

They dont see ublock as something important


> On tv, back in the day, we used to have mandatory ads.

_we_ didn't.


Safari on iPhone

There are mobile users in the world too you know


Mobile user running Firefox + uBlock Origin here. Works great. Probably not on iPhones though...

uBlock works on Safari on iPhone too.

I didn’t get ads or redirects.

The lite makes a lot of difference, it's only using the iOS content blocker and it doesn't work effectively in many use cases.

I haven’t found that to be the case at all. I replaced adguard with uBlock lite months ago and haven’t noticed any problems since.

Off by 10+1. Someone who graduated college in 2000 = 25 + 22 (4 years of college from 18) = 47, not 57, and not anywhere close to the retirement age. It might be pedantry, but the original comment should have said 1990, not 2000.

There's a mistake with The Rust Programming Language. It counts Programming Rust as the same book.


Just to nitpick, that doesn't imply profit. They could be breaking even (and probably are working at a loss).


As the Romans said, festina lente.


Hard disagree. I find that Linux (particularly but not exclusively Gnome) is actually even better than Windows or Mac OS. I hate having to use Windows or Mac again for how clumsy and poorly thought out they are. It took how long before they finally got Window snapping? And file search is still atrocious on both, and getting worse on Windows.

It always seemed to me the people who deride Linux's desktop GUI are those who actually never bothered to use it, especially not seriously in the past decade.


And Arial, Calibri, Georgia, and Cambria. It's missing Linux Libertine fonts, though. So typical.


They (reps? devs? I don't remember) have recently mentioned that they won't give up on RStudio, that it will stay separate from Positron. I really hope that stays true.


Human doctors also know how to ask the right follow-up questions.
