Indeed. My kid could theoretically walk to/from school, but they carry a musical instrument every day along with a backpack full of all of their books. The school doesn't offer lockers anymore because they deemed it "unsafe&q

That's still a good chunk of traffic, but there's also compromised firewalls, VPNs, and random servers. The device types themselves change as new exploits are discovered. Because Twitter still uses their own data centers they coul

It's absolute insanity that the mayor of the largest city in the US -- accused of bribery and exchanging favors with a foreign government -- would then do the exact same thing with the US President and Attorney General in exchange for

I live in the bay area and have worked for several of the big tech companies and startups. The only time I can remember anyone discussing mission statements was when I interviewed at AirBnB. They had a full interview (30 mins IIRC) just abo

If a meatbag comes upon a downed power pole, broken fire hydrant, fender bender, or sunken stretch of pavement they're usually pretty good about turning around or avoiding the obstacle. I haven't seen the same from these taxis yet

But it isn't the "exercising" of the immune system that provides the benefit, it's training it to recognize a new virus. If that could be done without a huge immune response it would be just as effective. The immune syst
