If you don’t recall any of your dreams, AND you currently smoke, you could give it a try.
Still, I’m disappointed MS didn’t implement a typesafe lang such as C# or F#.
I think step 1 is to decommission both the land and air missiles and bombs, and leave only the SSBN missile submarines.

“When testing snow, Ryan said, you should never look for proof of stability. With stability the goal, you’re testing for permission to do what you want to do. Instead, you should test the snow for proof of instability. You should look and look and look until you find it.”
I learned somewhat similar risk analysis as a student pilot. When on your final approach to landing, descending through 500 feet, then 100, then 10, you should always be on a hair trigger, spring-loaded to hit the throttle, abort the landing, and go around. If you’re doing it right, actually making the landing should almost be a surprise!
Then again, my flight instructor said a Piper J-3 Cub is best to learn in, because “it goes just barely fast enough to kill you.”
The US is rapidly reaching the point where, if your state gets 100,000 doses next week, then only 50,000 people will get a first dose. The other 50,000 will get their second doses.
Since the UK started dosing a few weeks before us, and they recently decided to delay the second dose for 12 weeks, I expect increased pressure for the US to decide the same.
The article has some good news for California, though: "Officials said the state is expecting a vaccine allocation of more than 1 million doses next week, and a similar amount the week after. Previously, the state had been allocated roughly 300,000 to 500,000 doses per week." So then the state can vaccinate 500,000 (of it's 30 or so million unvaccinated) per week. Thus, April 2022 is roughly California's target date.

Running the required servers might be too hard, though.
At worst, he’s fomenting violent revolution.
Discussing the risk of nuclear war, he said (and I paraphrase) that nuclear weapons were actually doing humanity a service, by telling us to “Just ... slow ... down”.
Wise words to a thermonuclear world.
I wish my car could do this.
Maybe Ajit Pai’s FCC replacement could get V2V/DSRC back on track?
“Anderson's analysis shows that those born in 1891 could expect to inherit from their parents at the age of 37, while they still had children at home and when their oldest child was ‘at best only just entering the labour force’. By contrast, those born in 1946 could expect to wait until 56 before both parents had died, that is well after their children had left home, leaving middle-aged parents in the second half of the twentieth century vulnerable to economic constraints, particularly when they were sandwiched between caring for children and caring for elderly parents.”
“Initial supplies of the over-the-counter test will be limited. Australian manufacturer Ellume said it expects to produce 3 million tests next month before ramping up production over the first half of 2021.
A company spokesperson said the test will be priced around $30 and be available at pharmacies and for purchase online.”
“... suggests that it is possible to determine the self-expressed political attitude of individuals, at least for the self-report measure we used, based on structural MRI scans.”
Seems big, if true. Has this been replicated?
They’ll surely be a third stage at some point, and our kids may yet see it!
a) you are already familiar with Oracle, and
b) you have a very small data set:
“Oracle Database 18c XE supports up to:
3 Pluggable Databases
2 CPUs for foreground processes
2GB of RAM (SGA and PGA combined)
12GB of user data on disk (irrespective of compression factor)”

States Are Getting Ready to Distribute COVID-19 Vaccines. What Do Their Plans Tell Us So Far?
I'm going to opine that climate in SF helps a lot.
I've lived in SF 25 years. All summer the uniform is long sleeve shirt w/under shirt. Light jacket for evenings/outings. Light to moderate wind. Only a week or so of hot/90F temperatures.
It's turning toward winter now, so we're adding a sweater and water-resistant jacket. Moderate winds. I've never needed a down coat.
In other words, we can pretty easily socialize outside and/or keep windows open, so any Covid virus tends to quickly disperse.
It appears that since September 2020, Sweden’s death rate has been about 5-10% LOWER than average, which would push overall yearly rate down a bit

“In the Senator’s plan, everyone would be allowed to set up a digital dollar wallet that would be called a ‘FedAccount,’ which would be a free bank account that can be used to receive money, make payments, and take out cash. FedAccounts would be available at local banks and Post Offices, and would have no account fees or minimum balance requirements. Account holders would receive debit cards, online account access, automatic bill-pay, mobile banking, and ATM access at Post Offices.”
Yep, Bernie Madoff should have walked, albeit with a felony strike and ruinous restitution.
The alternative is our current gulag.
[EDIT] And the subject of tfa is, apparently, not a first-offender.
By “compatible”, does that mean positive notifications can propagate to another state’s app?
