Attrition significantly drops if you treat people right. Many of the ones that leave run right back.

I'd love to see a self driving car attempt India or Viet Nam.

What are the other platforms you mention?

Wow, that's cigarette level brand loyalty.

What species? What is their range? Do they migrate?

Don't know why you're being downvoted. Physical delivery IS a third rail for retail investors and brokers should absolutely have a field in their settings page that authorizes them to close the position x days or hours before maturity.

They’d shut down the email account ;-)

A better solution is websites actually accepting the “do not track” requests that browsers already send. Unfortunately the most popular web browser is run by the most popular tracking company, who also almost wholly funds the second most popular browser.

What's CMS? Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services?

Saving this as a binary excel file (.xslb) speeds the spreadsheet up a bit.

> he knows his business isn't going to be shutdown overnight by some all powerful online retail god who could absolutely ruin him

Like Google?

pytz is a great example here. Imagine a separate package for every time zone.

It would be more ok if left-pad was part of a package called, say, text-utils which also included right-pad, etc. Same with is-promise, it sounds like it should be a function in a package called type-checker.

Necessity is forcing many people to learn how to cook, bake, garden, clean, cut hair, etc.

What does it do?

It's a pretty debian-based distro. It's made by a company in Wuhan so presumably it has great Chinese character integration, and, by extension, support for other alphabets besides en.

Look into becoming an ADA consultant for web/mobile. It's a growing market that companies are forced to pay attention to due to lawsuits. There is recurring work every time they redesign parts of the front end, which is often.

The full paper gives a another reason: if you decline to invest in one fund, the GP might not let you invest in the next one.

My initial thought is "yes, if you invest in the vintage immediately following a recession, let's see what the authors say". Then I am greeted with this fun paywall:

A subscription in the US, where my tax dollars fund this work, is $2675/year for the whole body of work, or $705/year for just this subject.[1] WTF!?

So I googled the title and it's available for free, legally on SSRN[2]. Maybe change the post url to that?

It may not be difficult, but it's not trivial, either. It's an enormous time sink. The older you get, the less free time you have. Is this how you want to spend it?

Every native app made by a Chinese company could also provide a backdoor to the PLA. Same could be said about apps from other countries and the NSA, FSB, GCHQ, Mossad, ASD, whatever the Germans are calling the gentler, kinder, totally-not-spying-on-everyone-anymore-we-swear successor to the Stasi, etc.

There is no specific evidence for this, but it is a possibility. Balancing remote possibilities and accepting some that are beyond our control is what separates the sane from the tinfoil hat crowd. Personally, I would try to stick to apps by companies headquartered in your home country. This is difficult outside of the USA and probably impossible outside of the next 5 top software hub countries.

Google pays Mozilla to be the default search engine in firefox. This is Mozilla's main source of revenue, so I doubt they will sue.

Re: #1

I think you missed the caption on the black and green picture:

> This image shows how the Lyme bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, form protective round body "persisters" when threatened by defensive immune system biochemicals in blood serum.

Re: #2

You don't need approvals to test in mice.

Re: #3

Antibiotics kill/greatly-diminish gut flora. Azlocillin is an antibiotic related to penicillin.

The other promising drug mentioned, disulfiram, is nothing to be trifled with, either:

It should be noted that captain of an aircraft carrier is one of the highest and most respected jobs in the navy. This guy was in charge of over 5000 sailors and $10b+ in hardware including two nuclear reactors and an air wing larger and more capable than the entire air force of almost all countries. The presence of this vessel in any given ocean affects the geopolitics of half of a continent. That is not a job given to the careless, unreliable, or politically naive. This guy knew what he was doing, in every sense of that phrase.

I wonder if in NOVA the startup pitch cliche is "x for ITAR" instead of "uber for x".

Materially misrepresenting the product is not "prioritizing UX", it's lying to your customers.

Abstract

In the current COVID-19 pandemic, a significant proportion of cases shed SARS-Coronavirus2 (SARS-CoV-2) with their faeces. To determine if SARS-CoV-2 is present in sewage during the emergence of COVID-19 in the Netherlands, sewage samples of 7 cities and the airport were tested using RT-PCR against three fragments of the nucleocapsid protein gene (N1-3) and one fragment of the envelope protein gene (E). No SARS-CoV-2 was detected in samples of February 6, three weeks before the first case was reported in the Netherlands on February 27. On March 5, the N1 fragment was detected in sewage of five sites. On March 15/16, the N1 fragment was detected in sewage of six sites, and the N3 and E fragment were detected at 5 and 4 sites respectively. This is the first report of detection of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage.

The detection of the virus in sewage, even when the COVID-19 prevalence is low, indicates that sewage surveillance could be a sensitive tool to monitor the circulation of the virus in the population.

Have you ever shopped for closets? Every major closet retailer has pictures of their product holding a ridiculously small number of apparel.[1][2] I, and especially my wife, have more than 4 shirts. I would like to see how a closet design looks when full. Sure the nearly empty closet looks cleaner, but it does not represent my use case, or that of anyone I know.

The same could be said for architectural renderings showing a handful of visitors at a place designed to be crowded.

I agree with everything you said, but would like to add that most people are terrified of writing, especially long-form.
