They didn’t ban a book. They decided to have it not be a part of the eighth grade curriculum. This isn’t an issue of free speech unless you feel that not showing Schindler’s List in third grade classrooms is also an issue of free speech.

tldr, driving laws that restrict when and with who 16-17 year old permit holders can drive with may not be completely rational. Unlike racism, islamophobia, antisemitism, sexism and other forms of bigotry, you will likely outgrow ageism aga

Title here "Covid loses 90% of ability to infect within five minutes in air" is a little misleading. From the abstract: "A decrease in infectivity to ~10 % of the starting value was observable for SARS-CoV-2 over 20 minutes,

This is mostly bad advice. Not that these things won't help you, but the best way to improve yourself is to work professionally as a developer until you are no longer junior. Best part is that you get paid for this. Here's my ta

I agree with the premise of the article but there’s also some survivorship bias at play. We know about (and don’t knock down) the particularly beautiful older buildings. If you go to New York City there’s beautiful stuff from the early 20th
