We (the US) love to blame the victims. Full stop.

I do support the idea that someone accused of a crime needs to be proven guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt. The nature of these crimes often results in a he said/she said scenario where the crime can't be easily proven. Only in these scenarios where the dam breaks and dozens of accusers come forth do these predators receive justice.

At least Google plans to add houses but to me that is the key to getting people to return to the office. A home within a 20 minute commute that doesn't cost 1.2 million for a tear down.

> Google is proceeding with its massive multi-billion-dollar Downtown West development that will span roughly 80 acres near Diridon Station and could take about a decade to complete.

Google anticipates up to 25,000 people working in its downtown offices, across 7.3 million square feet of office space. The project plans also call for adding *4,000 homes*, 15 acres of parks, a large community center and its own microgrid.

There are definitely ways to export passwords from what I have read though I don't think there are convenient ways to import.

I use LastPass families with my wife so my rough plan is to:

1. Evaluate 1password, bitwarden, etc. for feature parity 2. Rotate highest value passwords like email, financial, critical things without MFA, etc. 3. Prune and unused junk 4. Export from LP and import into it's replacement 5. Cancel LP

I guess maybe 2 will come after 4 since I'd like to avoid adding any new PWs into LP.

I am not even that angry they got hacked but mostly angry about how they handled the encryption cycles of legacy users (5000 vs the current 100100) and that hackers were in their systems for many months and could exfiltrate customer vaults without them noticing.

Most but depending on how healthy you are it can be very expensive.

You will pay $170 a month for Medicare Part B premium and then IIRC my mom pays around $400 a month for Medicare supplement because Medicare often pays like 80% of the bill until you hit deductable.

Even with approval by right many buildings that exist could not be built today. Sometimes for good reasons like fire code but often not.

It's a question of aligned incentives. If your team (not you necessarily) only have a priority to ship features than your team needs to be alerted for performance and reliability issues because you are thus incentivized to fix said issues. If these issues are thrown over the fence to some other team who doesn't know your codebase and have the domain knowledge to improve said code then things (usually) never get fixed.

Likewise error budgets that say "your service has not been reliable enough this period so the next sprint will be dedicated to improving that and no new features will ship" is another way to make sure quality is not an afterthought.

Fta:

TikTok is an international version of Douyin, which was released in the Chinese market in September 2016.[10] It launched in 2017 for iOS and Android in most markets outside of mainland China; however, it became available worldwide only after merging with another Chinese social media service, Musical.ly, on 2 August 2018.

From the links above Vine was already dying if not completely dead before TikTok was ascendent.

Vine died (or was killed) before TikTok started. It was more outcompeted by Instagram and Snapchat iirc.

Thanks! I found at least one place using padmapper back in the day that worked out really well! In 2022 craigslist still sucks at removing duped postings for apartments, cars, etc.

Buy a trickle charger, they cost under $20. :-) That being said, leaving a car sitting for many months is not great without fuel stabilizer IIRC.

There's no reason more should not have had one. Here are CDC notes about SARS from 2004.

I don't have much knowledge about azure but is it possible to add different instant types and/or sizes? E. g. in the EC2 world if AWS was out of m5.xlarge I would try to add a worker group with m6.xlarge or m4.xlarge. If that did not work I might try to replace my xlarge with 2xlarge...

I see why they run the apply before merging but in a very busy repo I can imagine 2 PRs potentially interfering. I guess the plan should give you a clue though. I had never heard of https://www.runatlantis.io/ which looks interesting.

I think you are broadly correct. However, recall Elon's takeover of Twitter was all about "free speech" so in my opinion it's a bad look. A "bigger man" would say "put some time on my calendar and I'd love to hear more". I value flat hierarchy companies where you don't just blindly kowtow to your leaders.

The ACA mandate afaik no longer carries a fine so as of today at least you are free to go without insurance if you so choose.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the fine for violating the individual mandate, starting in 2019. (The requirement itself is still in effect.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Care_Act

Furthermore how many people are covered by that $2400 a month? I'd assume it's at least 4 if not more?

This resonated with me as I resigned Sept. 2nd and is one of my goals: "generally getting back to being the better version of myself that I know is in there somewhere"

Good luck with your funemployment!

I quickly skinned the article but in a nutshell it seems like the soleus (the main calf muscle) uses more fat and blood glucose than other muscles which primarily use glycogen. Thus using your calves in this specific way can help burn fat.

This kind of makes sense as . It agrees with the theory that humans used persistence hunting to run down game and evolved to be excellent long distance runners. IIRC humans usually have about 2000 to 3000 calories of glycogen in their muscles so being able to rely on fat stores becomes critical for longer distances.

Many states have quite low legal limits and it's broadly acknowledged that being tired, distracted, angry, stressed, etc. is almost or as bad as driving over the legal limit. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/advice/best-cars-blog/20... In California it's .08. If for example I was at a party and a friend had some kind of medical emergency I feel it would be reasonable to take them to an ER despite being at .08 or .10 while being very cautious (assuming others were also not sober).

I know many people that live outside the US take a zero tolerance policy to drinking and driving in the sense that if you are going to drive you don't drink at all and I applaud that. I take the more practical approach of knowing how many drinks I can have at my body weight and can for example have a glass or 2 of wine during a 2 hour dinner but no more because my BAC with 2 drinks is under .08 and each hour 1 drink is metabolized.

I do fully acknowledge the more people drink the worse their judgement as to whether they are safe to drive so I expect many will get angry at me for the above. From what I recall most DUIs are for multiples of the legal limit but I can't find a source at the moment.

Seriously. They are not even trying to pretend they are not sociopaths.

Thank you for this. My failure at calculus in my undergrad really set the tone for my mech eng. degree. I felt exactly what you mentioned: that you needed to memorize the "trick" and then you could solve the equation.

I am still embarrassed at my poor performance in undergrad.

Thank you for this. Running competitively definitely beats up your tendons and what not but after 30 years of running 70 (then) to 20 (now) up have had like 5 days my knees were achey. I will say not everyone has ideal biomechanics and our sedentary lifestyles also impact injuries while running.

As a lifelong runner it's best to do it by mileage not age. Replace them somewhere between 300 and 600 miles (your weight, leg length, form, surface, etc. all influence this). I will add that over time historically the midsole foam usually degrades so age is a factor too. I'd probably suggest tossing them after 1.5 years or so or at least having a fairly fresh pair to compare them to. The above mostly applies to running but should be relevant for walking too.

Imo this kind of license is a huge PITA with containerized workloads that autoscale, etc. Would one pay based on average core usage or peak usage?

I am a little confused by that. AFAIK climate change wasn't even discussed in popular culture 30 or so years ago. I wonder if they are equating "concerned with the environment" with climate change. The concern back in the day was pollution, nuclear waste, the ozone layer, the rainforest, species going extinct, etc. Perhaps my memory is poor.

So iiuc code using the play framework is permitted to use akka (because it's built on top of it) without paying?

They actively teach the value of collectivism vs. individualism. When I visited a few years ago I read an article in a local paper that asked high school kids what the biggest danger to Japan was. They replied "individualism".

I think that is a natural consequence of being young. You tend to evaluate others by comparing their skill in what you are good at.

Seriously. All his (and many others) Machiavellian machinations seem to be pushing us all in the direction of massive social unrest. Fortunately he'll be fine in his bunker.

The irony is pretty poignant. If I can think of one company that would implement a Severance type program it'd be Apple.

I think you mean melanin vs. melatonin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin
