True. Shut down all planes for 14 days. Ships too. While it will be quite extreme, if the count gets towards 6-7 digits, it may be well worth it. At 3000+, we are already inching towards 5 digits with one more city : area going bad.

I am a 50 year old dude. Used Java in 1998-2002, but more as a JSP writer than anything serious. Then none till 2016. Then job changed and now I was expected to know Java. Tried to learn in 2017. Did not work out. Tried to learn in 2018. Di

It is a remote control, but a case could be made that even though the prince had the phone with him, someone did it from his computer [ Of course assuming he was not looking at his phone at that time. ] I am not on prince's side, just

Whatsapp allows desktop clients. I use it too. It is technically possible for someone to hijack this desktop client and do this without MBS's involvement, as long as MBS authorized that desktop. I think you need proximity, but you can

I take statins and my best self-analysis is that it gives me nightmares. I can't count the number of times I have woken up with bad dreams. However, I think it is my brain trying to regulate heart by causing it to beat harder. When I e

First of all, not the same level of problems and not sure what I took. Could just be a fantasy. Anyways, circa 1998, battling a serious fungal infection, an alternative treatments doctor (not homeopathy or something, this was in Seattle) pu

I first used vi / vim about 30 years back. There are other editors that provide fancy features and I do use them routinely but there is no day I have not started (and exited) vim. Get used to it.

I used lose it. I will go back to it but I haven't used it for a few months. What worked for me was logging on the table, as soon as I got the food. Once I started deferring it, ok I will log it later at end of day, I started slipping.

What we should be asking for is analysis of these 3000-3400 cases to see what were the patterns? Maybe there are 3 patterns we can identify as being inherently risky and then educate customers to avoid those. I agree the number is surprisin

Hmmm. What is profit? If a company pays its CEO 10 million dollars, it is not stated profit, but that's a cost we could live without. If a CEO can write off a few million, a few 10s of millions in corporate gala spending, it is not sta

I recently (in US) asked for it, and was given a hand written sticky, begrudgingly after asking why you need it. But once asked again, no further objection.

Along with 6 story units, we need better commute. The challenge is that the developers and cities lie and say hey we can add housing but we do not need to improve roads, and even if we improve roads, we will improve it just a tiny bit. Plea

This is quite a mis-representation. The total number of billionaires in 1995 = 289. Of them, 66 died. 24 of them diluted their holdings to family. This is 31% of them. Of the remaining, 126 are still billionaires. That is 43% of them. I rou

It is not just your “right”, it is “right” to do so since it is your “duty”. Otherwise you are just subsidizing / helping law breakers, is it not?
