It's already been demonstrated that the Covid-19 has mutated into becoming more easily transmissible. Perhaps there may be some scientific basis or physiological connection between being more transmissible and being less potent? Perh

I believe that car manufacturers in the US are required by law to produce spare parts for 10 years after a model rolls off the assembly line. A similar law for electronics would be useful, but where do you draw the line? Maybe the FCC cou

My first thought was cooking. It's far easier to make a great meal once than repeatably in a restaurant on an assembly line.

It's probably a given that other western democracies have less police-related violence. Which countries have the best systems? I suspect the impass will be worked around rather than fixed. Quasi-police will take on some law enforceme

Definitely not excusing any behavior by the police. But if you lump all officers, departments, and cities together you are never going to get anywhere with reform. I only have a vague idea what police officers make. Generally, I avoid beg

Being a police officer is a difficult, thankless, dangerous job, yet critical for a functional society. You don't get the same resources, respect, or pension of the military. If you are let go/fired, you have little chance of fin

I'm amazed that Chipotle hasn't packaged it's online ordering app and licensed it to other restaurants. I've never used such a streamlined, polished, and convenient way to make an order for pickup or delivery.

A lot of the opinion I've read suggests that so called super-spreaders are seeding the majority of flare-ups. In other words, there may be some individuals with very high R0 compared to the vast majority of others. My theory is that

Consumers in the top 10% don't buy nearly as many things, at least not enough to float large multinationals. If there are big multinationals that could, it's likely that their customers can't!

I have always advised friends and acquaintances never to tell an employer about a new house or car purchase. The less tied down you seem, the better off you are in negotiations!

When I notice people pushing back on hourly rates, I think of a story a friend told me about an expert locksmith. He could unlock a door in under 30 seconds, but he often fiddled around a bit so his customers would feel better about havin

Pharmacists are not a dangerous and expensive layer. They are often more aware of proper dosage and drug interactions than doctors are. When you are seeing multiple specialists, pharmacists may be the only ones that see the bigger picture

These aren't necessarily the typical use cases that compiler writers are trying to optimize, either. So, compilers for general purpose languages may never close that gap.

Not a doctor. A major issue with using this type of CPAP machine on a Covid-19 positive person is the high amount of aerosolized virus particles it exhausts. Anyone using this should be extremely careful and know what they're doing.

PowerShell should raise the bar for lowest common denominator of scripting on Windows systems. I've dabbled a bit it, but I was disappointed it was so tightly coupled (possibly by necessity?) with the .NET runtime version. This makes

No, the mortgage holder has a lien on a property, which can be assigned. Title always remains with the lender. If ownership of a lien is unclear, it may be unclear who ultimately owns the mortgage, but the mortgage servicer should remain.
