This article made me laugh out loud several times!

If the Fast Show was still running, this would spawn a whole new character and a season of skits. Some great one-liners in it!

"In cheesemaking, if two hearts want to connect, they'll find a way."

"Uncomfortable foods open doors."

Thats Jessie's diet right there -

Great article. My take on it is :-

"Er, can you check this for free? ... It would be great for my share price if you could, would really give the investors a badly needed shot of confidence!"

I find the above the best introduction to a programming language.

I suspect you're right. But then, with a good, large data set, maybe something would show; once enough people get too sick to use a computer.

Maybe the number of DNS requests from distinct IP addresses goes down. As you say, traffic/data volume might keep more constant.

I wonder if there's any indirect way way to get mortality rates... Say number of social media accounts active, or number of webpage requests from an IP range...
