Just another anecdote, granted this was over a decade ago so YMMV now. Grew up doing web dev "as a hobby", basically self taught since middle-school. It was my passion, but never thought of pursuing it as a career or anything. W

i'm saying the diamond princess people were probably the few that were properly quarantined given the news coverage. the flight entry points during that time didn't even bother, just asked a few questions on where you were coming

LOL minus the diamond princess or the obvious one from like the woman from Iran? people were falling thru the cracks like candy, i happen to know 1 or 2 people that were confused they weren't even screened at the border. i suggest you

lol it sounds more on the insane side to me. you have to have a thought out plan to protect the vulnerable and do exposure in "phases", but has that ever been done ever? and even if you are young and healthy why would you knowing

I mean it's very state by state right now and in disarray. In NYC they've tried to ban public events and large gatherings; no public schools are being shut down and it's pretty much whatever each entity decides. It's a

unfortunately, this has caused some in the circle i know (mid-sized midwest city) to double down on stupid. that this is evidence of the hysteria and (not to get too political) some type of ploy to destabilize the economy and election. lol

my issue is how to reconcile the way different countries have handled it. i don't think this is a nothing burger, but i'm also wary of the "overreaction" by the media and then you add signaling and political issues and

i mean, i live in nyc so i'm quite aware how terrible our healthcare is lol. i just meant in terms of coronavirus i would hope they offer some kind of free testing in light of the situation. it's still not in the american psyche

The thing is where is the balance in response to this? I too agree that it's going to just be one of those things we deal with every year like the flu, but the difference between it being manageable vs. out of control relies on everyo

Just some context too, that church isn't really representative of the "average" church there, but like a cult. Look up shincheonji. I feel their beliefs + how they conduct mass is contributing to this crazy increase. Somethi

I think a lot of people write off that second part all too easily, taking advantage of opportunity and especially just showing up day after day consistently for however long it takes. We're conditioned to want the hockey stick growth

mmm i'll have to disagree with this. sure, in person i think treating people politely will often allow you to come to some kind of middle ground or the very least help you to understand each other. the anonymity of the internet makes i

I found this similar mentality in Korea where you can leave your laptop, phone, etc. at a cafe completely exposed on a table while you go to the restroom or even out to lunch. When you come back your stuff will still be there. As I live in

i mean it does solve that problem of excess of messages, but i think as a woman or man you would want the app to give you the best possible match or through some "magic" find someone who you might not have found through convention

I think HK is a huge part of this. They probably thought it would go away quietly but to see this level of support slowly growing and refusing to go away must be alarming. Notice how it was specifically the HK stuff where they are going s

That person would get blasted and suffer the PR and economic consequences (like pulled sponsorships), but none of these "punishments" are state sanctioned. For the most part people are free to express what they believe. Contrast

The Chinese consulate in Houston put out a statement condemning the tweet. You have a track record of China using the heavy hand to dictate the messaging of corporations and individual citizens. No coordinated message in China goes through

I think this is really great for getting stuff up and running as quick as possible, maybe if you're just starting out, but I'm really surprised at some of the things said. Maybe if this is a site that you run on the side. Doing te

that last response from them is pretty damning. it's like what happens when your customer success turns off their brain and just applies blanket rules to everything. yikes, just when i thought their kubernetes and managed db's we

Even with the test trains it's it's spotty at best. I work off Greenpoint which is 2 stops to court sq and frequently the trains are backed up/delayed or by the time they arrive it's a clusterfuck. I can't imagine

in an ideal world, yes... but none of this exists in a vacuum. context is everything and i don't think there's a one size fits all for what would be considered creepy or not in the dating/relationship world. it depends on e

"the worst thing Uber did was not be sufficiently cooperative with the police investigation." Lol, as if that's acceptable for any company in an investigation. I'm not sure if you're playing coy, but your words are

Is luck an important part of success? Yes, I think we all agree, and probably far more so than we give it credit for. But to hand wave it away is... frustrating. I've spent enough time in running a business to know that what works for

IMO company culture has to come from the top or at least be enforced from the top, because when there's a lot of pushback or things going wrong there needs to be a clear authority who can determine who or what is "right". Fro

i think the drawback to this approach is that maintenance and just "staying in place" starts to become a nightmare. development is circular in that you have to loop back around and make sure your good live chat plugin even better

I think I Seoul rivals NYC in terms of the 24/7 nightlife or entertainment that isn't Las Vegas. When I was there you could literally go out every day of the week if you wanted to whereas NYC does settle down during the week. Seo

i would agree except why bundle touchbar at all with the touch id/apple pay? and why remove it from the base macbook pro. i figure if touch id was a priority they would make a huge effort to update the mac line with a touch id sensor
