At the ~500 person tech company I work for, the first goal of the recruitment and interview process is to decide if the candidate would be a good fit for the role, and the second goal is to convince the candidate that they should accept the

You are right. This article doesn’t really say anything except that this version is wireless, and Tesla’s is wired. Why should I, as a consumer, care?

In California, deaths are only counted if the death certificate has “COVID-19” as the cause of death. If someone is hit by a car and is also positive for COVID-19, that shouldn’t be counted. > Cumulative number of COVID-related deaths as

She has to work 18 hours a day? 7 days a week?? That doesn't sound like it's the fault of her coworkers on parental leave, that sounds like it's an issue with her manager.

Ah, I misread your original post. I thought you were talking about the official recommendations being wrong and then changing. The "general public shouldn't wear masks" is one example where the guidance changed, but I'd

I stand corrected! I had forgotten that the Surgeon General said that. My theory is that when people think that the guidance has radically shifted throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, it's because they are getting their information from n

Some science experiments require visiting the same patch of ocean repeatedly. Having access from an underwater lab means that scientists can spend more time doing science and less time traveling to/from the site and decompressing. My u

Be careful with this! It's a slippery slope from LFS to Gentoo. I made the mistake of trying LFS once in college, and then I spent the next 10 years compiling everything from source! Beware!!

This is completely off topic, but you’ve triggered me with your date format of 05.08.2020. Why not 2020.08.05?? So much less ambiguity, plus then it will match your directory structure!
