Finding a summer internship right now is going to be really difficult.

EPA recommends that the central estimate of $7.4 million ($2006), updated to the year of the analysis, be used in all benefits analyses that seek to quantify mortality risk reduction benefits regardless of the age, income, or other population characteristics of the affected population

In the US, it’s largely the things I listed.

That’s assuming no second order effects like a shortage of medical care making things worse.

For well designed sites that require verification before the account is setup, just trash the message.

For other stuff, you may have to unsubscribe.

Worst case scenario for something like a dating sites or whatever, you can just reset the password, then login and delete/deactivate the account.

You’ll need to use some kind of 3rd party tool to configure and maintain such a setup

And sharing that drive on the open internet would be a really, really bad idea.

But if you expose kids to COVID now, they will in turn expose their parents, who will expose their coworkers, etc, etc

I could see that being effective strategy if we didn’t have a vaccine in 30 years, but for now, most people are still susceptible.

Especially, if people have interesting or unique work experience. Say they founded a startup or they are the author of a popular OS library. Even a niche product, finding the principal author is usually just a search away.

Only if your resume is super-mundane would it offer a modicum of privacy (and who wants to hire that?)

The first thing Goodreads asks you to do when you create a new account is to list and rate a bunch of books you've read and either liked or hated. This is important, because they (ostensibly) want to recommend other books to you.

When I first created an account, I quickly rated maybe 50 books on a 1-5 scale I had read over the years. I didn't have most of them handy.

So, this doesn’t always work.

When a civil rights law sunsets, lots of bad can happen in a short period of time.

I’m using the example of the government unable to agree on a budget as an analogy.

What happens when we can’t agree on how to renew the Civil Rights Act and it sunsets for a period of time?

We already have govt shutdowns when we can’t pass a budget, imagine if a law that legalized gay marriage was allowed to expire, or one that granted people health care or immigration status.

Even if a non-discrimination law only expired for a short period of time, that would be enough to do real damage to people’s lives.

Also, that prescription is only good for 1 year, many times I’ve wanted to get a new pair of sunglasses, but have been prohibited since my prescription was out of date.

This article says that homeowner's was going to pay to rebuild, he wanted the city to pay for a longer term housing in the meantime while it was rebuilt.

So, its unclear what he is suing for exactly, except maybe some temporary living expenses.

This says his homeowners will cover the cost to rebuild

Any money he got from the government over and above the deductible he'd likely have to pay back to his insurance company, wouldn't he? You can't double dip like that.

What exactly is he suing for? Wouldn't the insurance company be the one who would want to sue here, in an attempt to get back some of their outlay?

It’s a very real risk of using the service.

You could build up a large database of say, violations of Oracle licenses, then get Oracle to buy out your company.

You’d make a quick buck, and your users would be left holding the bag.

How do you mitigate against these type of threats to your users?
