I think the last sentence of the response is also important: "all Whole Foods team members have access to the 2-weeks paid time off related to coronavirus that was announced for all Amazon employees."

I would guess that the anecdote about the woman who can't get tested is because of a severe under supply of test kits. The CDC developed a test kit last month, but it is only being sent to approved laboratories, and the tests will only

I stand corrected. My recollection was that AnkiDroid (the Android app) didn't provide the capability of creating new cards, but I just checked and the current version of AnkiDroid does let you create new cards.

I believe the mobile app is limited to just studying. Creating new cards and downloading shared decks must be done using either the desktop app or the web app.

A follow up to my previous comment: I graduated from the University of California at San Diego more than 45 years ago. I graduated with honors, and I was proud to be a UCSD graduate. After I started working, I made (modest) contributions to

I find it ironic that on the same page where the University is detailing how badly they intend to treat the graduate students, they also have a link to make a gift to the University. If I were in a position to make a significant gift, I wou

Yubikey recommends "having a backup device and registering both with your accounts". I vaguely remember some people saying that they have a backup Yubikey that they keep in their safe deposit box, so that it's as safe as poss

This reminds me of when I was working with a PDP-8 back in 1975. We had a hardware failure, I ran a diagnostic which confirmed the problem was in the hardware. I called DEC (we had a maintenance contract), and they sent out an engineer. He

I'm invested in Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares, and the minimum investment is $3000, with fees of 0.04%. Those are pretty low minimums, and seem to me to be exceptionally low fees, and the average annual return is 13.94% over t

I just started exploring fountain pens (inspired by a previous HN posting), and the feature that appeals to me the most is the variety of ink colors available for fountain pens. Most ballpoint pens seem to have just a handful of ink colors,

I did a search on Walmart's site for the name of the laptop, "Motile M141", and the price came up $280, so I think it has gone up. I'd love an inexpensive AMD laptop, but I'll probably go with a Pinebook Pro. It lis

I agree with you in general that Williams overstepped reasonable bounds on what he could do in planning his new venture. But the one phrase that jumped out at me was the "duty of loyalty to the company". I am reminded of all the a

My first thought on reading this article is that it would encourage using Trade Secret law to protect these inventive creations rather than Patent law. One intended effect of patent law is that the inventions would become free to use by any

I'm retired so that's not an option. I'm at an age where my wife and many of my friends are 50+, so I will probably go ahead and pay for one of the courses.

I would consider CPR to be an invaluable thing to learn. Unfortunately, at least where I live (North Carolina, USA), there do not seem to be any free classes. Available classes range in price from $84 to $126 in price, depending on what&#x2
