And even in states that can deficit spend, it seems like their efforts are stymied by the lack of the federal executive being unwilling/unable to manage supply lines. Congress handing money to university research hospitals is a necessa

Yeah, but did they control for people with “Germanic foreheads”?

Same here. My team has been managing our git repo like this for years, but I didn't realize there was a named practice around it.

Given the 2-3 week transmissible incubation period where the infected show no symptoms, it doesn't seem like there's short enough feedback loop for the lethality to be tempered through natural selection within the initial period o

A useful heuristic that I also use, but it's good to be aware that fake reviews go in the other direction, too, of sabotaging competitors' product reviews.

The practical issue is there isn't a good way to determine who “needs” these vehicles and who doesn't. If we as a society want to curtail excessive use of these life-averse machines, there has to be some hurdle to separate out tho

Sure, getting apps into multitasking mode is hard, but have you tried to get an app _out_ of multitasking? Especially a “Slide Over” window? Just when you think you've banished it, you open the host app again and the slide over app rev

I used to have to deal with an enterprise system that required quarterly password changes. The interesting thing about this system was it would refuse to let you set a new password that wasn't sufficiently different from the previous s

Somewhat diverging from the topic, but I wonder how many “chronic Lyme” cases people self-diagnose are instances of parvovirus B19. I'm in the process of recovering from a B19 infection now, but had my kids not gotten it first and disp

I use Geneva for coding. Variable width typefaces are easier on my eyes. I find that my page-scanning more readily gets lulled into laziness when using fixed width. And variable width keeps me from doing goofy alignment games with blocks of

This must have been a popular pastime in the 90s as I did the same thing for my university's security on their new, centralized student accounts server. This effort was further aided by there being a predictable salt used for the passw

I don't disagree with this, and I'm not advocating for creating or perpetuating “noble lies.” But look at the framing of the OP article. It is the perfect example of the squirt gun of truth. The headline refutes a metaphorical sta

“Put simply, our first suggestion is _don’t expect to counter the firehose of falsehood with the squirt gun of truth_.”[1] Climate denialism is the proverbial firehose of lies. Finely parsing words to maintain some Panglossian notion of a m

Pretty cheap as far as PR schemes go. Letting his children leave and speak openly to the free media would be a PR disaster. Killing them would be a worse one. But keep them where they are and under threat of death while giving the appearanc

Not the OC, but I've used https://www.plantoeat.com/ for a couple of years now, cooking for a family of five. It's a wonderful tool, especially for only $5 month.

As another perspective, a recent draft paper[1] notes a correlation between transportation infrastructure costs and how much community involvement there is on the project. TL;DR, infrastructure was way cheaper when we could just bulldoze th

Bike lanes would incur 10% of their current cost if they didn't have to be engineered around the ubiquitous SOVs. That's another externality of automobiles, and it doesn't account for how insufficient, broken, and unsafe that

When you're willing to externalize the costs of making mass-SOV transportation possible, to the advancement of personal gain, yes, “the market” will push people toward taking advantage of that discounted resource. Until there is establ

It's crazy because it doesn't work. All of those factors rely upon the use of common, municipal resources, and those municipal resources, especially streets, often can't be expanded.

Agreed. I didn't feel like the later seasons slowed down so much as take the story darker, lingering a bit in places to draw out the contrast. And even if one finds the story lagging, the score by Mac Quayle is sufficient reason to che

Nearly always when people say it's hard to find parking they mean _free_ on-street parking. I've rarely had a problem parking in Portland because I'm willing to pay for the privilege of storing my car when I'm not using

Not open source, but https://financier.io/ is browser-based YNAB clone. I'm still using YNAB4 for the time being, but will probably switch to Financier once YNAB4 stops working. EDIT: Looks like it's been updated
