abiogenesis

First you should import gravity.

I think the origins of the joke is the Jargon File: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/R/recursion.html

Obviously the third one has a flaw of not being able to see flaws in other people.

Still not a variant of the former joke. The latter is about the meaning of "or" in a logic or coding context vs its meaning in human languages.

I agree. Otherwise it would try to strip the background from an ocean or sky image.

$40K is not much to put into a business but it's a lot to spend before you validate your idea.

True, but he didn't talk to consumers before spending the $40K either.

Also I don't think $40K is cheap for an MVP. He could have used static HTML mock-ups, or even a few Power Point slides to see if his potential customers would have paid for that service.

It's also worth adding that the public health system is pretty good, or at least better than some other "first world" countries.

I have never owned an Apple II; is it normal to end up with multiple blinking cursors when you press the RESET key multiple times?

jQuery is written in JS, but if your code is using jQuery functions you are not writing "vanilla JS" anymore. Otherwise we wouldn't need the term "vanilla JS".

What I meant was inlining the jQuery calls to their equivalent JS snippets, removing the need for including a 80K library if you are not overly dependent on jQuery. It was also a tongue-in-cheek comment.

What we need is a Jquery-to-VanillaJS transpiler.

Now only if someone could combine the snippets on the right hand side in an easy-to-use library.

Oh wait...

Technically yes, but no issuer will provide long expiry certificates anymore [1]. They won't be recognised by major browsers even if they do anyway.

Some still sell 2 or 3 year certificates but that's a marketing ploy. You pay the price for the next 3 years in advance but you still have to renew it every year.

Booted people from its DDoS-protection services.

You should still renew your SSL certificate every year (397 days to be exact).

Transfers between registrars do not usually reset the "Creation Date". Actually the creation date field is not correct anymore for most domain names. Some registrars just show a fixed date such as 1985-01-01.

They have already tested positive on their 3rd (PCR) test.

True. On the other hand, the effectiveness of PrEP is thought to be as low as 74% among people who inject drugs. It might still be possible to find such people for trials. We should still see a statistically significant effect even if they are taking PrEP daily.

I didn't know about PrEP, but from what I've just read it has to be taken daily in order to be effective. A vaccine could be a safer method.

Not sure if this is a flippant response, but I believe the parent post meant 100 strains in one injection.

Nice. This is a very different service though.

> Phones are all unlocked here in New Zealand.

Really? I'm surprised because I'm in AU and there are certainly phones locked to a specific carrier. What about $10 burner phones?

The difference is Erdogan's Twitter account is simply used for press releases. He does not personally post messages that violate their community standards. Regardless of what he does or says elsewhere, it's harder for Twitter to justify closing his account.

If they plant the least, someone else should plant the most.

Opening the link in a private/incognito browser window usually works.

Fair enough, but that's an unintentional side effect. He can't do that by working 4 hours a day, at least not by following the recommendations in that book.

It is not outsourcing that is unethical but to advertise it like a magical way of working less.

The title of the book makes it sound like you can accomplish more by working less, while in fact the remaining 36 hours worth of work is done by someone else every week.

Think of it that way: How would someone from one of the developing countries the book mentions would benefit from what's written in that book?
