Apple guidelines, section 3.1.1, regarding in-app purchases:
>Apps may use in-app purchase currencies to enable customers to “tip” the developer or digital content providers in the app.
Section 3.1.2(d), regarding permissible use of other payment methods:
>3.1.3(d) Person-to-Person Services: If your app enables the purchase of realtime person-to-person services between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training), you may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments. One-to-few and one-to-many realtime services must use in-app purchase.
It's fuzzy, perhaps, given the word "may". Apple's unofficial advice for fuzzy guideline questions is to implement, submit, and argue your case once it's live.
It's not fuzzy - 3.1.3 says that may not use "purchase methods other than in-app purchase" (since it's not one-to-one person-to-person service but tipping for one-to-many content) and must use in-app purchase.
There's a niche in the space for workspaces that support "low intensity 3D applications" with 99.99% uptime. Right now, all the major cloud vendors (AWS/Azure/GCP) are prohibitive with respect to pricing. I can spend $600 to buy a dedicated machine to run my GPU-bound workload 24 hours a day, or spend $600/month to have a dedicated GPU instance. Things like Paperspace don't cater to this particular workload, still. I've honestly thought about creating a new PaaS provider that attacks this niche. Seems doable.
Exactly what it sounds like. Fecal matter from a healthy person, transplanted into the GI system of an unhealthy person. Benefits come from all the "good bacteria" living in there that are missing.
YouTube has some deliciously informative videos if you'd like to watch a real surgery!
I'm not incredibly familiar, but I watched some of those tasty videos I referenced. It certainly looked like there was somebody in there unconscious, with a Dr gowned up. Tubes and cameras and robot arms inserting various things.
Depends where you draw the line at surgery VS procedure, does something have to be cut? Who knows! Either way, I recommend not DIY'ing this one.
Wow, I've been annoyed for as long as I've had a smart phone that it never could input my e-mail in an easy way. And then it was this easy all along, thanks!
I personally know of 4 people (in 2 different countries) - family, friends, or family of friends, who have died from Covid. None were over 60. I don't know that many people.
This is not the same, stop believing this garbage.
I'm not saying flu == covid, but since we're all talking about anecdotes, my grandmother technically died of the flu.
12-60k Americans die of the flu every year. So far 160k Americans have died of covid. Unless you've only been alive for a few years it's extremely unlikely you know 4 people that have died from covid and none from the flu...
I agree that it's an anectdotal point, but I don't think it's extremely unlikely. Covid affects a greater age range and there may be lifestyle factors at play, some people may know many people at risk of covid and few who are at risk of flu. It may be extremely unlikely in a random sample, but this isn't a random sample.
(Just realized my comment is replying to you, but I think a bulk of it is directed at the GP - just wanted to clarify)
Covid is real and I don’t think the numbers lie, but I also think we’re at an unprecedented level of measurement and quantification and it does make me wonder - folks I know who’ve died of pneumonia in old age probably didn’t get “influenza” as a cause of death in recent years even if it was what ultimately kicked off the over all failure of their organs.
There are whole classes of causes of death that just lack data/information to know the set of causes and to correctly attribute them to the mortality.
Anyhow, I’m seeing this as a huge global experiment to quantify a novel virus, and for that reason it’s interesting and exciting while also terrifying and bad.
What I mean by that is, we’re in the middle of the storm, it doesn’t really make sense to compare this to something yet, it’s not over, and not even close to understood, so let’s just treat it with the same caution we’d treat any other uncontrollable global plague until we know better, with extreme caution and suspicion, and we should assume it could kill us all eventually. We’ve never successfully made a coronavirus vaccine. Think about that. Read up on the previous trials - a successful vaccine still brings a lot of scary things, like, what it does in the wild if another novel coronavirus shows up, or the potential for it to turn a mutation into a more lethal or more viral strain.
So yeah, let’s hunker down and hold on until we have this collectively under control and we can START to understand what’s going on.
> We look at death certificates that have pneumonia or influenza causes (P&I), other respiratory and circulatory causes (R&C), or other non-respiratory, non-circulatory causes of death, because deaths related to influenza may not have influenza listed as a cause of death.
Those numbers are used to give estimates. So if the people you know that died of pneumonia (I'm sorry) had that listed on their death certificates, it is likely they were counted as influenza deaths; if not directly by test results then by their death certificates.
I agree with the rest of your comment, however. What was particularly frustrating for me was at the beginning of this pandemic; people were looking at the numbers and saying, "oh only x thousand deaths? That's less than a flu season!" (where x is less than 60) Of course they didn't mention that ~60,000 deaths is the worst flu season in the US, and other seasons see way less numbers than that; and they didn't mention that that's 60,000 deaths in a year. We're now at 183K deaths from covid so far. And the end isn't even in view..
