The title of the article reads "Harvard Immunologist to Legislators: Unvaccinated Children Pose ZERO Risk to Anyone" This is the recent news article that contradicts the claim: https://www.usatoday.com/story/n

Text on the link you provided reads like theoretical benefits of working in pair programming rather than actual anecdotal experience. I occasionally do pair programming in order to debug issues or solve problems, but anything more than that

Even a doctor won't diagnose without having a look at the patient in question. You are asking laymen to come up with a medical cure/prevention. There are so many factors involved. All the life long choices contribute to the chroni

I think Google is the culprit here. Not just for wifi scanning, but also for Bluetooth, Google demands location permissions. In last 5 years or so, I have had a Garmin, a Fitbit and now a Garmin watch. I never used to have to enable locatio

I had such a job. I was getting paid more than 75% over the previous job. I was so bored in that job that I quit after three weeks, took a huge pay cut and moved to more interesting work. I still regret it sometimes. YMMV.

No. At work I run both chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu simultaneously with multiple tabs open. At home with Firefox on Debian. Never had problems. Although both computers have 16gb ram.

I can sit through stand ups like Dave Chappelle, Chris rock, Peter Russell or any number of Adam Sandler/Ben Stiller movies without even cracking a smile, but can roll on the floor laughing after looking at silliest of stuff that not m

I keep passwords in a text file encrypted using gpg. I also don't write the entire password in the file, just enough digits/alphabets to remind me what the password would be.

I never exercised before I turned 31. I also got fat after I turned 30. Not obese, but 20 lbs north of normal bmi range. I quickly turned around after a friend of mine shamed me for looking like a over inflated balloon. Here's my advic

First time I used vim more than a decade ago, I got stuck too. Kill vim from other console and then googled it for future reference.

Agree. That's how we are using it. However teams webclient can't do some of the things like desktop sharing and conferences like we could do in hipchat.

These achievements are like pro-bowl selection in NFL. If you are on a losing team, it doesn't matter how hard you worked or what you achieved.

Good luck with that. My girlfriend works at a German airport and she told me that even the shops and cafes in the airport are closed.

I am not sure how unions would help in tech sector, but I would like to see European style laws to protect labor from management.

This is just Amazon looking for welfare. This is not new. Cabela's was doing it for many years. Asking for tax breaks because they bring "jobs and prosperity" to the town. It turned out to be a plain lie. NFL teams are doing

The car is last place I want targeted advertisements and distractions. I live and breathe tech, but I drive a manual car with no GPS, no Bluetooth and no remote connectivity. I turn on local NPR or connect phone using aux cable to listen to

It's amazing to look back and see how the public support built up for this over last 40 something years. I am not sure how many more years before this country follows Canada or Uruguay.

How about BP and their atrocities in Iran. How about United Fruit and banana republics? I could dig up more examples. There are very few ethical companies, if any.

This wouldn't stop people being dishonest in their reviews. Nothing does so far.

Consolas and Inconsolata. Unfortunately, I use Intellij idea currently and Inconsolata is rendered horribly in that ide even with infinality and intellij Specific configs. Ubuntu mono is also not bad.

Assuming the same salary, I would opt for more interesting/challenging work. Besides that being able to work on projects that mean something to the business, having good work correctly attributed and recognized for is also a big factor

I don't think I would agree to that model. I wouldn't like my money being held hostage for a review. If they give me a dollar discount, on the other hand, I would be much inclined to leave a review.

Not work related, but I am working on my body. Trying to run faster marathon at the same time building muscles to look good. It's hard after 40, but I was a 123 lb weakling at 24, now a 145 lb with good muscle tone.
