I'm not looking forward to the X-resistant bugs that come out of all the covid focus on sanitizer/etc. Soap and water, once we had a handle best bet. Not easy for retail, but helps.

I'm in no way cool or carry moleskins, but for some dumb reason I thought doing a second Masters in an area unrelated to anything I do - my first is in computer engineering, this new one is GeoEngineering - would be a good idea. I&#x2

Most of the Q-idiots are of the same mindset. "Go do the research" is a common phrase.

It's a gross generalization on my part, but during the height of covid most of the bay area was dead. Only the union city/fremont/milpitas area seemed to have much real activity. And most of it was of asian/east asian

Outside of a handful of startups, I've been partially to fully remote my entire career (goes back awhile) much of that international. I don't need hallway conversations. I need to work with the tools that I have to build trust a

"They lack the structure to make the data they contain readily accessed programatically, so step one is miserable screen scraping and data cleanup. That’s where a lot of people give up." I've been contemplating the idea of cu

One thing to note, and this was seen with the Skype purchase, typically contracts as part of a private equity deal limit stock issued to lower level employees but also generally have an aggressive clawback clause. I'm too lazy to find

This seems mainly for Alexa devices? I'm assuming a Kindle will not become a hot spot.

I still have one bike with bar ends. A single speed mountain bike. I use the bar ends (plus clipped in pedals) for leverage when climbing. My other full suspension bikes are all large handle bar, no bar ends.

Even in small towns in Germany, the neighborhood bakery is being replaced by in-store bakeries for Aldi, Lidl, etc. The variety, quality and freshness is still better than that in the generic US sense, but it has changed over the last 20 y

I like spotlight for simple things, my Swissmicro DM42 for more complex things. That said Numi and some of the alternatives do look nice.

Did your modeling take into account impacts on life due to lingering health issues for those that became seriously ill but did not die?

Had classes from David Huffman while at UC Santa Cruz. One of my favorite professors and he did not like when people constantly brought up Huffman coding. Spent several hours talking various topics, but one of his favorite areas of explora

I made it to one of Jim’s dinners in 2014. As someone said, the dinner was so so but the conversations were quite enjoyable. I’m glad I got to go.

I recall the fee, when living there with an ex. That and juggling which dialup internet providers had the best fees at any given time were enlightening.

I count myself lucky that I was able to study under Glan Langdon and David Huffman. Claude Shannon came up often in working with Glen. David wasn't a fan of discussing his namesake coding method. In "office hours" David wo

It won’t happen. People (aka businesses) want something that just works for the person doing data entry or scheduling calendars and expects the code rguy (even if a top 3 in the world by value by valuation) to suck it up to bare bottom IT

I was lucky enough to have a company funded stint in Helsinki some years ago. The tech culture is vibrant and interesting. Most everyone speaks English better than most in the US. It can also be a place where it's hard to make frien
