No, I'm just saying the specific track record of US public health authorities and US government officials with regard to keeping you and your loved ones safe from the coronavirus has been very poor. I would not say that about, for exam

Thanks, the Surgeon General of the United States was posting on Twitter in March that you shouldn't wear masks, so I'm not sure that arguing from authority is a very compelling argument at this point. Data about allergic reaction

It takes the vaccine a week to kick in, and waiting 15 minutes in a cramped room with other unvaccinated people maximizes your chance of getting COVID. The worst possible time to get COVID is right before the vaccine kicks in; we've es

I agree, if you are being vaccinated in a hall the size of a football field the risk is not very high. I am more concerned looking at e.g. the list of sites at vaccinateca.com that are located inside of grocery stores or drug store chains.

Because in the US we've outsourced delivery of the vaccine to places like hospitals and pharmacy chains in places like CVS, Walgreens and Safeway. Those places tend not to have the pharmacy close to the entrance, and no windows, which

Well, one reason would be I was emailing my friends and family about the efficacy of wearing masks around the same time in March that the Surgeon General of the United States was posting on Twitter that masks don't work and the New Yor

Yeah, agreed, I don't really think the core premise is that deceptive. I will say though one trick I've seen (I should write about this) is multiplying your common stock through by the latest price of the preferred stock and prese

OP here - please trust that I have given this a lot of thought, both through hours and hours of examining the conversation and introspecting my answers, and (months) later, in a long phone call with the director of the program, who very gen

The meta point of the post is it's dumb to attach too much weight to cultural signifiers that are easy for people to imitate once they know about them. The top voted comment on the post invents a new cultural signifier, and declares th

For what it's worth I (OP) have been asking this question for a decade now and have gotten a good response, as well as fodder for follow ups. At least when I look back at the (few) times I have been rejected there were obvious other re

Hi, I wrote that post. I don’t think that this is quite the same issue. The 2019 post is vague but I think what happened is an attacker stole the credentials for e.g CircleCI’s account for Google Analytics. So an attacker could see URL’s

The odds of you understanding all of the constraints and moving variables in play, and doing situation analysis better than the seasoned ops team at a multibillion dollar company are pretty low. Maybe hold off on the armchair quarterbacking

I have no employees, so yes, “going solo” is an accurate description. I would have an accountant anyway and frankly even if I was full time I would want a lawyer to review the employment agreement so not really saving anything there. Just s

Living in SF helps. I meet people at meetups, on Twitter, through Github, I reach out to people I think are interesting... You could try finding a company you’d want to work for and take one of their engineers to work, or try to target comp
