(googler, opinions are my own. No insider knowledge about this discussion.). Bing and Github are both owned by Microsoft. Maybe there are different scraping/throttling rules in-place on Github between Bing and Google?

WSJ opinion pages actually have a good opinion piece on this yesterday. The general take I got is that all money police or judiciary collect should go into the state's overall general fund, rather than going to the local government. h

This is the thing that drives me the most nuts about many policy makers: they ignored natural immunity. They ignored that cloth masks (and likely surgical) would do nothing against an aerosol born disease. They ignored the impact of lockdow

For Google cloud, I think before Cloud Run existed, they created a "create-with-container" option that deploys a container on a VM for you. https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/

This seems like a case where HR would actually care, because the person raising it is trying to protect the company from doing something potentially illegal.

I agree that studies that look at natural immunity find that it actually does something (also, those who were vaccinated then later got Covid have really strong immune response [0]). My issue is with the CDC, OSHA rules, HHS worker rules,

And many (most?) of these policies ignore natural immunity that people are getting from catching COVID.

You know, likely am wrong here. I think murmur is good because it had a good distribution and is much faster than SHA? I did find someone that compared murmur to other non crypt hashes here: https://softwareengineering.stackexch
