It sounds like it's saying "ozone kills the tougher bacteria than Covid at a very high rate".

So directly it says absolutely nothing about Covid but implicitly it does seem to state that it should also kill Covid since it's less tough to kill than the vegetative bacteria. I guess they can't make that statement directly--there's no evidence related to Covid here. I'd ignore it.

Maybe I'm a narcissist, but is this a scientific statement? How can you falsify it? You'd run into some pretty angry philosophers.

I agree (it's meaningless though, I'm just pointing out the obvious above, I'm not an expert here) for acute injury it makes sense to use opioids in severe cases like you mention, however, I think we still need to find the best strains and cultivate them for pain use, we've only scratched the surface with cannabis, it's a big genus. Weed ain't what it used to be.

For chronic cases, I think chronic makes a lot of sense.

Pain helps you get moving. Opioid's don't. Too much pain is debilitating. Surely we can find a formula here (a very very large one).

Cannabis never removes all the pain. I think that's the main feature here.

Opioids don't aid in recovery though--they're not a band-aid, they're simply a veneer. They can prevent recovery since they delays][ physical rehabilitation. I honestly think cannabis is a much better solution long-term, but good luck transitioning an opiate user to cannabis.

Interesting, I just saw a posting for Red Hat. Doesn't IBM have an automated HR system now? Perhaps that's not functioning as well as they'd hoped.

Yeah I'm from Canada so fish prices are very high here--I generally eat beef which has a great ratio, and avoid omega-6 laden foods. Sometimes I actually need to eat omega-6 heavy foods if I get too much of 3 I think, it's all based on taste for me.

It's very expensive to have a healthy diet, unless you only eat a small selection of foods.

I think if you can learn one per hour every day you'll be doing pretty well. If you're in school you can easily learn a few every week.

It's also not rote memorization, rote memorization is mapping text->text not text->meaning.

(disclaimer: I'm just medically-curious, no accreditation) It's the cause of so much disease, insulin resistance. It's a common thread in the last few years in the research I think, for heart disease & diabetes & fatty liver & metabolic syndrome etc. I think it's like >10% of all people have metabolic syndrome now.

It causes issues with the gut, promoting inflammation and that "chubby" appearance you see. It's not all fat--lots of that is simply inflammation of the gut.

From my experience introversion is relative to your environment, so if you move or get some new friends maybe that might help.

I'd say ultimately it depends on the worker's manager, if they follow the Babbage style of management you're gonna have problems, wherever the worker is working from.

Souce? I don't think the RDI is a maximum, you can have quite a bit more B12 and still get benefits. When I have time I'll update this with my own search, but maybe you're more educated on this topic than I am.

Typically negatives with overuse only exist with the supplements in my 1 minute glance. This is common amongst many different supplements actually. If you eat actual food you get full, so it prevents too much nutrition from being an issue. I don't think B12 is really something your body will reject, we are able to efficiently filter out any extra with minimal load on the kidneys & liver.

The issue is really with dioxin, you need to source your fish from somewhere where they are fed properly and there's no pollutants like dioxin.

Have you tried fish (eat wild-caught)? Mackerel is tasty if you don't like salmon. Those two are both very oily, you can eat one or two servings a week and get enough omega-3. B12 is present in any animal product usually so I recommend eating more meat, cheese or other dairy. You really need the full B spectrum, but B12 in particular is the one to focus on.

I am not an expert, experts may disagree for other reasons, but I do know my math and read the studies for my own benefit.

I'm not an expert, but I don't imagine any study that could be designed that would determine this to any practical degree of certainty--B12 is correlated with so many other risk factors, like smoking for example. People with healthier brains possibly take more risks, but it's just a vague guess too.

It's important to also reduce your omega-6 intake if you can, it's really about the ratio of those two polyunsaturated fats. Look for foods with a high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.

You could just eat some oily fish once a week too. It's tasty when you finally get it right, I promise.

Another nutrient great for brain health is B12.

It may help to consider the opposite of fear, which is courage or daring, or even foolishness.

You can be described as courageous by staying at home, sure, but you also might be fearful. Are there more dangers at home? Is the risk & reward both higher and the ratio higher? I think those are the questions that ultimately determine the answer.

Given that there may be a huge negative to taking action however instead of inaction seems to suggest that it is fear by that criteria.

The introduction of the test itself may change its effectiveness (reducing it). Cancer is an evolving condition that your immune system fights. Perhaps it's not very useful to characterize the test before it's applied since the test itself may change its efficacy. If you start exercising and dieting in response to the potential diagnosis it'll definitely help.

If we had a test that detected everyone and they believed it, we'd improve cancer rates.

There are also structural changes in the brain as time passes, and hopefully biological ones as well if I'm going to digest this food I just ate. What structural changes are present and can these changes be used to diagnose the condition? Are these changes necessary for the condition? To me it looks like gray matter loss is not exclusive to this condition, these studies only quantify brain matter density, not structure. This study is also not very well designed, it only studies BPD patients without studying patients that may potentially have the identified defect but not the diagnosis.

Our diagnosis of psychological conditions is very vague as well--is bipolar disorder diagnosed as lack of gray matter? If it's not, then why not?

The concept of "chemical imbalance" is a great tool to sell some chemicals to get ya balanced, however. Maybe the chemicals in good food are what we really need.

Well it could be based on ADE--certain strains of coronavirus antibodies will help other strains replicate. In any case, I do remember quite clearly "half" but it was towards a very lay audience.

It's possibly by type and not mass, ie, one of each type of antibody versus various strains of COVID. I think that would make the most sense to me given the conclusion--if you don't have the right antibodies but have some you may be more susceptible to some strains and less susceptible to other strains. I will see if I get the time to find the original source.

I have no clue! I just heard this a while back on some random video three months ago from an infectious diseases professor. My knowledge of biology is very low, I really shouldn't be speculating publically, I thought it was less controversial knowledge. I've probably just phrased it badly or remembered it in too simple of a manner due to my lack of background here.

I think half is a simplification, it must mean that if you have the wrong type or quantity or some combination thereof, but again I'm guessing and not an expert or even a professional.

I agree, I'm not a fan of twitter.

Everyone here is suggesting a monetary motive. Maybe there's a political motive--someone who really hates Twitter or serves to benefit if Twitter suffers.

I remember at the start of this an infectious diseases professor commented how if you had the antibodies already against CoV you'd be fine, but if you had only half, you were at a significantly higher risk of death.

I guess the immune system can misidentify as well--I bet we haven't taxonomized everything fully yet so eventually we'll have a new name for what immunity is required.

Do you understand why I failed the interview? That's absurd. How can you understand if I've not even given all the details? Your process is somehow bullet-proof and guaranteed to be followed? Probably because that's the assumption Google is predicated on. It couldn't have happened, so it didn't. I mean, logically, that's true.

> And I have no idea what you mean by the "tools" and "how to operate them" being false and failing.

I mean I consider my skill-set (what they're buying from me) to be my theoretical / intellectual ability, in addition to the practical activities I take when using the computer to achieve my job (using a mouse, keyboard, git, c++, testing). The interviewer mentioned they are looking for generalist programmers who don't consider their tool-set (git, windows, whatever) to be part of their skill-set. While I am quite general, I consider it a plus that I know such a wide range of different technologies. It was my question which prompted this, I asked about this very thing since I know it's a sore spot at Google, knowing a few Google employees and some Google coops. I believe this is the reason I failed, the interview completely changed his tone at this point.

In any case, the interview didn't test anything I would have done on the job, or my ability to do such things. It also didn't even test my intelligence independently of my preparedness, since there's so much preparatory material available, though it did eliminate people with lower intelligence who didn't prepare.

I failed the interview because of a number of reasons, but I definitely solved the problem. The typical process wasn't followed as this was right as COVID hit. So maybe that had some effect as well, this was the second phone interview with a new person (the first one I completed the problem, but there was a glitch and the call dropped and we couldn't recover for some time), and I've been ignoring the recruiter for years. I think I didn't really want to work for Google in the first place, so that probably also came through. I'm a big proponent of privacy and against Google's advertising business model.

I think based on the interview process I'm no longer considering Google anymore, despite still having another interview in six months. I will probably inform the Google recruiter in the future. It's just a waste of my time to prepare for such a silly test. When the main book to get the test is a book about how to cheat it and appear better than you are, it shows that the test is completely broken. Maybe a company the size of Google should hire people for short internships where they code throw-away prototypical problems and do some paid work. Maybe on a problem that takes some time and planning. I'd do that, even today. I think Google has lost most of the individuals who actually have an impact in this industry beyond search.

Maybe that's why the process won't change, Google isn't selecting for some traits which are commonly sought after.

The only good way to assess a candidate is to hire them. It's sad, but true. Some of the brightest and best will not even be able to code with someone else even paying the remotest attention to them. Interviews used to take account of this 15 years ago. Google came along and destroyed this.

I remember talking to a Google interviewer and I came up with a better solution than they expected. Since my solution was non-standard for online median finding-they wanted a unbalanced binary tree where I wanted a tree with the values at the leaves and using a fixed height, in this manner you could easily find successor and predecessor and I'd have actually found a better solution than their expected solution. They wanted the standard binary tree solution with predecessor and insertion, where I failed.

Everything will still jovial, until I mentioned that I consider the tools I use and how to operate them as part of my skill-set. Apparently this is false.

This was me interviewing at Google for a potential job using computer graphics or computer vision. I wouldn't even be working with problems anywhere close to this.

I've found that everyone is just copying Google's process because of all of Google's cash and success, but don't realize that most of Google's success is not due to any investment but rather just one solid team doing search well.

Anyways, I'm glad I didn't get hired, I have a better job (pay and work). Both of the projects I would have worked on have already failed or nearing failure already, it's been like 3 months.

I've lost lots of very valuable information by storing it in a MacBook due to their lack of customer service or acceptable repair times for essential goods like laptops. Never again.

Yes, in my opinion, the CPU model is dying as we fail to miniaturize we will be forced towards data parallel algorithms which benefit from speedups through SIMD.

Ultimately AVX will be the future of Intel if they want to compute with GPUs and if everyone stays silicon.

All journalism these days has a baity headline since that's the business model. In the past we used to pay newspapers on a subscription model.
