Interesting. On [0], it seems like people on that ship were not tested for coronavirus though, because they weren't meeting criteria that the CDC had laid out for who could be tested. Let's hope it was really just the flu!...

These are very useful patterns! I feel that the thing that I haven't found my way around about this style of programming is how to make the types scalable. Once the type `Expr` is set to include literals, addition, substraction, and cu

It brings up the question — as a developer, how can you best set boundaries on your customers so that you can have some degree of control over the toxicity of the culture that you're exposed to when interacting with them?

That's right, in fact if people remember that secret then it's not a "second factor" it's just another part of their password. A "factor" in the context of authentication means one of the various ways that

A cost of implementing TOTP is ID verification at the time the user needs replacement credentials, eg when they lose the phone that had their TOTP secret. With SMS, this cost is offset to the mobile carrier, though as discussed here, carrie

You keep bringing up something I agree with, regarding the counterproductive effect of labor protection laws. I just don't see how that excuses the lawlessness of management's actions. > Because you can't blame employers f

I didn't mean it's a management failure. The company was really put in a precarious position when it was spun off from government without change to employees' job-for-life statutory protections. With lots of debt piled on by

This is, in essence, the argument that the CEO made, during the crisis and at the trial. He kept saying (paraphrasing here) that there was no statically significant increase in the rate of suicides, and because the company was so huge it wa

They were not prosecuted for the suicides themselves, which the judge considered to have multiple causes. They were only prosecuted for institutional harassment.

In this case, many of the employees were civil servants who were statutorily guaranteed a job as part of the bargain they made with the government decades ago when the company was just a department of the administration. Regardless, I don&#

It's a good idea but (a) it doesn't actually work (tones get miscategorized as attested by the number of native speakers in comments who are having trouble) and (b) practicing words in isolation is of limited interest. The hardest

I believe only those antenna structures that are registered with FCC are public data, and that's only those that are tall enough (200ft), or close enough to an airport, to require a study by the FAA. IOW most urban and suburban cell si

That's one way of looking at it. The question of whether there is a path that someone who doesn't have good product insights can follow and learn to have some, or if it's all "instinct", is an interesting one. No on

As a PM I would agree that some of these traits are really able to increase team effectiveness. For example, just in a recent project, we saved weeks of work after asking the developer to be more upfront about tradeoffs. However a big, big

It's not clear to me that Tiktok is, or wants to be, a general audience social network. In any case I really haven't seen it used to advertise or organize protests... And let's be honest it is by itself in no monopoly situati

I think it's very reasonable for a content platform to enforce some kind of norm on speech including against protest content. Back when Tiktok was musical.ly, ie more explicitly devoted to music-based content, I suppose it wouldn'

Calling this censorship rather than editorial curation implies that content distribution platforms are somehow expected not to have an editorial line. I find this very odd and a misuse of the term censorship. "America's got talent
