They did act in January. SF’s emergency operations center was active and running. The CDC was still making it illegal for anyone to test outside some unreliable and faulty test kits. The fact that our federal government was obstructing a

You don’t have to get a sense of doubling via unreliable test data if you look at the doubling rate of the fatalities. People count bodies much more reliably in pandemics. I don’t trust our confirmed case telemetry data much, but I do trus

I don’t think anyone exits the field entirely because of just the wage gap, it’s everything that’s around it as well. The total impact can be a lot more than you’ve likely ever had the experience to know and turns a field that can honestly

Even the data you decided to pick for this conversation supports the opposite of your conclusion: Household chores: --On an average day, 84 percent of women and 69 percent of men spent some time doing household activities, such a

For the engineers who want to have an impact on stuff, if you’re skilled and your ideas are good and you can convince others about that, you can be given as much impact as you can eat. There’s a huge spectrum of how much impact people opt

In a huge leap of naming they’ve named it the C929 with initial flights in 2025 and EIS planned for 2027. It’s cool to think they probably won’t hit those dates but pretending like a roadmap doesn’t even exist is not. https://en
