My sister is a recruiter. I’ll be sure to tell her that you think she’s a bottom-of-the-totem-pole, lowest-common-denominator bottom-feeder. That’ll brighten up her day. And when she doesn’t take it to heart, I’ll be sure to add a ‘Let’s be

Care to be a little bit more charitable with evidence to refute that statement? As far as I know that’s exactly how it works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_immune_system Also, what’s your objective in slinging

If I'm reading that graph correctly, over Oakland there's currently an inversion boundary at ~50m, ~1500m, ~2000m and 14000m. Is a correct interpretation that the smoke is trapped between one or several of these inversion layers,

What’s stopping you from just pulling d3 from a cdn or npm and just hacking away like any js lib?

An almost meaningless number when not controlled for age, ethnicity, general health etc. I don't understand how this number can be reasonably used to say anything about basically anything. From the document you site: > Many such

There have been 1424 deaths "involving" coronavirus in the ages 0 - 34 in the US[1]. What happens to that number when you discount for underlying conditions? Close to 500,000 military personnel (read: military-aged) died in WW2. S

Yes of course there are limits, nothing should be held as an absolute. I also don't think it's a very complicated ethic, you follow it until it's no longer the right thing to do. As another commenter noted, rape and murder et

That's a lazy strawman. The people operating these businesses are doing what they can to survive, and they are dealing with willing customers. Both parties are exercising personal responsibility. Equating this kind of thing with murder

East of Eden, the most convincing account of what if feels like to have lived in Northern/Central California, even if just for the description of the land. For those who haven't read it, please do. It's a tale that will never

Not my experience at all. I've lived in Marin county for 30 years, and this doesn't feel like anything extreme. I can recall many, many similar heat waves in my life. My bet is that the bay area has many micro-climates, and people

Use it to cache certain request payloads that are guaranteed not to change for a certain amount of time (e.g. 1-minute stock market aggregates that only change once a minute).

Sorry if I sound irascible, but I think my point stands. Any reopening of the economy before the entire population is vaccinated will necessarily put some lives at risk. The destruction being wrought by continued mothballing of the economy

We assign value to human life all the time, in dollar terms or otherwise. And we most certainly assign a higher value to certain lives over others, you just do it implicitly. It’s the reason you don’t drop everything you’re doing in your li

Is there a considerable difference between content that’s served to UK versus non-UK audiences, even for global news? The BBC news app used to be one of my more reliable sources of general news until a remarkable drop in quality over the la

It is supremely annoying that the polygon icon in the top-left of the navbar does not take me back to the home page, instead it's just a dumb play-thing that I can drag around with my mouse. People always judge books by their covers. e

By this argument, all Boeing 777s should have been grounded after the loss of Malaysia 370 and Malaysia 17. Same plane, both incidents within 5 months of each other.

Because that part of the quote it not only pointless, it's nonsensical. The FAA DID take the lead by immediately issuing a notice in support of the airworthiness of the plane. Other aviation authorities then decided to contravene the F

Quote: "I covered airline safety and the FAA for four years, and I cannot remember a time when the FAA was so alone among world regulators on a serious safety issue. " Neither viewpoint is supported here. The anomaly is that there
