What a coincidence. I just got my first appearance of alopecia areata (only one spot, has been there for 10 weeks now --- hoping more dont pop up). It's quite annoying. Unfortunately, living in the EU I'll have to wait for you guys to figure it out first.
PS: Anyone in the know who wants to give me the straight answer to whether or not I should be expecting more holes to pop up?
This drug (baricitinib) seems to be approved for use in the EU (https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/olumiant), but if EU pharmacies don't have it yet you might be able to order it on some online gray market source, which is pretty easy these days for a variety of substances.
I had it in my facial hair a few years ago. Two bare patches. My barber said it was likely stress-related (though I didn't feel stressed out at all). Then a year or two later it went away for no apparent reason. Nothing had really changed in my life that I could think would affect my stress levels. In other words, both its appearance and disappearance are a complete mystery.
I also have almost no hair on my legs below my mid-calf, and I did when I was younger.
Sample-size of 1 here: Yeah, I would prepare myself to see more. Mine came on kinda strong, both scalp and beard. Doing full shave now, still have eyebrows though!
Yes, alopecia areata is generally a progressive disease. It might be worth discussing with your doctor early. I'm not too familiar with the European regulatory landscape, but I would guess any JAK inhibitor would need to prove efficacy in a European-listed trial of AA to seek approval there, and maybe you'd be a candidate.
> The Huy Fong brand hasn't been available for a few years after the EU implemented some restriction on one of the ingredients.
My fride, my pantry and my local Asian shops would respectfully disagree with that statement.
Hui Fong Sriracha is less sweet, less garlicky, brighter and the chillies come out way more. It's not the same product as the Flying Goose brand and they certainly can't be substituted for each other. I love 'em both.

Than Microsoft would've been scammed out of $350 worth of plane tickets, $150 worth of hotel commodations and $1000 worth of employee time. Hardly the end of the world for a multi billion dollar company
> and passed just due to the advantage?
Passed a six hour Microsoft on-site grilling due to knowing the question for a 15 minute off-site interview question?
Are there studies that prove that working from the office is more effective? You must have studies proving this, as I'm sure you're not advocating for collectively wasting billions of hours of time each week on commuting "because we've always done it that way". Surely.
I'm in the automotive industry and apart from the obvious factory workers I cant think of a single group of colleagues for whom it would not be possible to work remotely. I also dont agree with the "software industry" asterisk. As long as your work is done 100% on a computer, remote work is more likely than not suited for you.
Don't take this as a toxic comment, but we're talking about taking away 1-2 hours of time of living and breathing human beings. Out of what? 6-8 hours free time? If anything, the employers should need to prove why remote work isnt possible. Anything else is damn near unethical.
I should add, that I'm blessed with a great union that allows me to cut my weekly hours, which I will do once I reach a comfortable level of income that suits my lifestyle. Which is to say: I really, really, really like spending my own time on myself. So my view on this topic is highly skewed.
I was onboarded with 3 other colleagues, while the company was fully remote. I'm fully integrated into the work and company culture. I love my colleagues and get along great with them.
I don't undertand this "you can't build relationships over Teams" sentiment. Have people forgot about online gaming? There are millions -- I'd wager a billion -- close friendships that started (and maybe stayed) fully online. The bar for colleague-level acquaintances is much lower.

Bit odd how you could miss the only point OP was trying to make. Yes, if you know that TECH_X is used in production at BIG_CORP_Y, it's very helpful. I can tell you that in the BIG_CORP I work for, we quite possibly use or have used any- and everything for something. The point OP was trying to make is: What is that something?
Considering the context of the original comment: a top-level comment on an article that details exactly how Zig is used at Uber, it's understandable that people misunderstood.
In the case of Google it is Go's built-in web server was good enough to handle workloads that any smaller company wouldn't come close to a Google tier web load. I get what was meant, I guess I should of elaborated why I chose Go as an example.
