Can you recommend resources for reading more about the long term plans of Starship?

At my company, management has repeatedly said OKRs should target failure. So like if you think you can get a major feature set done in 15 weeks they want you to target 10. I’m not a fan of it myself. The idea feels like growth hacking, but

I guess the extreme would be to spin off Github into a non profit like a Mozilla, but dedicated to improving software tools and keeping them open source.

Which word are you referring to? I have limited knowledge of Japanese, but I’m fluent in Chinese so I’m curious if a similar word or usage exists.

This is just my hypothesis: news networks discovered that they can cater to 30% of the population with an extreme message and get more viewership than they would have catering to 50% or 100%. A side effect is that the permissible extremity

The buffet brunch was especially egregious because she came from the doctor's. She chose the buffet instead of getting a coronavirus test as the doctor suggested. And then she went on to a sermon.

It's necessary but not sufficient to stop the spread. I'm currently just avoiding bringing the topic up with my sister who traveled from the UK to America last month. She repeatedly brushed off the topic because the UK government

It bothers me too reading about the testing methodology on various countries. In China anal swabs tested positive in released infected patients, while they were repeatedly testing negative with oral swabs. This has come up in their "re

I think Italy is particularly worth paying attention to as a bad case approximation of what can happen in the US. About a week ago, Korea had tested 90k people while the US had 400 tests available and fewer tested.

This is true. Do you think under those conditions, the ship would have symptomatic employees serving food or sharing bunks with asymptomatic employees? That really goes against the idea of quarantine, so I'd like to see evidence of tha

The 737 Max is actually a great analogy, but you and I come to different conclusions. The FAA shot themselves in the foot by not grounding the Max after the second crash. They were previously so trusted that their standards were the default

This isn't an accurate representation of how the number got to 700. The numbers were low when the ship docked. I recall in the single digits. Everyone was put on cabin quarantine, though people could leave their rooms for a window of t

That is the thesis of the NPR article. Personally, I think minimizing disease is more important than minimizing economic loss.

The Hong Kong government has actually done a solid job so far, considering they share a land border and high speed rail system with China. NPR made the case that Hong Kong sacrificed too much for containment, but the underlying message is t

On a societal level, you want to slow it down. A lot of deaths in Wuhan were caused by medical system overload. A small percentage of infected died even after getting invasive breathing assistance, etc. But many others didn't get a hos

I think these places are franchises so cleanliness and maintenance depends on the owner.

They'd also be pissed if they paid all that money and brought an epidemic back to their community as a souvenir, or got locked into quarantine on their way home.

Arco and Valero in California are two chains that are effectively cash only (they take debit cards but charge a fee that's high when pricing it into the cost off gas). I no longer live in the US, but still visit family every year and I

Correction: several hundred confirmed cases. They're not testing the whole population every day. It's dangerous to assume the confirmed cases is close to the number of transmissible people.

Check out a cash only gas station the next time you need to fill up and ask to use the restroom.

I'm doing my best to _try_ to understand why the CDC is operating as it has been, and why the test count is so low to date. The CDC issued test kits this far have been faulty, and a charitable interpretation of their slow response time

A more generous interpretation of comment you're replying to: It's not that guns and ammo are useful for resisting your local government. They're saying that in the event of catastrophe, it's not a smart bet to rely on l
