This analysis seems largely correct but for one thing, the author assumes that people who contract the virus will develop immunity that lasts long enough to bend the exponential growth curve as herd immunity develops. (The curve will slow

Even online stores are running out of things. Amazon for instance started running out of generic Tylenol and other items you're recommended to have on hand yesterday. I was putting stuff in my cart Saturday only to have it be unavailab

Only if you hold people to the standard of engaging with an article on the basis of its headline instead of its substance. We should hold everyone to a higher standard than that. (At the very least, if the headline isn't enough to get

I would use Khan Academy. Start at a level that feels too easy, even if it's elementary school math. The key to learning anything is to start at a level that feels too easy and gradually increase difficulty. As you finish a subject, se

It absolutely wasn't my intent to discourage you! The way I think of it, we all likely have decades left in our career. Consistently spending a few hours per week studying mathematics or some other technical subject related to our goal

This book is fantastic to tackle for anyone comfortable with C at the level of K&R. A great second book on C. And one of the few examples of literate programming one might come across!

It depends both on your current background and your goals. What's the highest level of math that you know so well you could walk into any classroom and teach it? For many, it's been so many years since they've had to use anyt

This comment is like the exercise equivalent of bikeshedding. Someone who can squat twice their bodyweight is not going to have any problems doing any of the things you mentioned. The strength and mobility required to do so with good form w

I'd actually say that the most impactful first habit is regular exercise. Especially a few hours of strength training and a few hours of aerobic exercise per week. You can have a mediocre diet and still see huge health benefits. The op

This is something I would expect a freshman CS major to be able to solve. It only requires knowledge of looping, conditionals, and how to work with strings in your language (e.g, indexing, finding length, maybe substrings, etc.). This is li

Dairy, legumes like beans and lentils, and protein supplements like whey powder will take care of your protein needs. It's a bit harder for vegans, but still doable. Look up Clarence Kennedy, the vegan Irish weightlifter.
