As time passed, the zigzag pattern appeared and the hole became more obvious. I thought I was going blind and wondered if I had somehow burnt my retina. It wasn't until later that I thought to google the zigzag pattern. It didn't occur to me that other people would have experienced the exact same, very specific pattern.

I also never had a scintillating scotoma again. It happened a couple of weeks after I started ADHD medication so I suspect they're related. I often get bad headaches and that made me wonder if my headaches had been migraines all along.

The more detailed you can be, the more "real" your job experience will look. For example, list the time series algorithms you used and quantity how they helped (error metrics, % return, comparison to a naive forecast, etc). I already mentioned latency. Optimizing your code and data for speed is something interesting you could get into too.

I would pick one or more job titles that are both relevant to the job you're applying for and to the work you did and put those on your resume, e.g.

Crypto trader/blockchain developer/investment analyst (self-employed)

- Developed trading platform with X latency

- Implemented blah blah algorithm

- (Throw in more metrics about how you were able to beat competition)

The proof is the skills you built along the way, the same as any job you put on your resume. In data science, at least, we're rarely asked for references. Don't think of yourself as unemployed during that time, and especially don't call yourself unemployed.

(Based on the other comment, now I wonder if I just didn't find the human answers due to bad UI.)

I would also only count TC in the first year (or 6 months), not some stock options that vest in year 2+.

Looks like the same authors found that Metformin as a treatment after Covid diagnosis did not significantly reduce the the risk of hospitalization or death, even though it does reduce incidence of long Covid.

This is important for people (commonly women) who regularly use skincare treatments that make their skin extra sensitive to the sun. They want daily facial sunscreen that doesn't feel greasy. We end up buying it on eBay because it's not allowed to be sold in the US.

- Have to get pap smears before being granted a prescription

Doctors will withhold birth control to coerce women to get regular pap smears, just because it's a lever they have available, not because it's related to the prescription.

I have to take both ADHD meds and birth control, and while it is much easier to get prescribed birth control, it's a similar level of stress of making sure my medication is regularly available, especially for someone who struggles with staying on top of timely tasks.

If a kid sees a parent on the phone all the time (reading), they want to imitate being on the phone. The fact that the parent is reading is a second level distinction that matters less to young kids, especially when they can more easily imitate "using the phone" by playing games or watching videos.
