This is overall a good move if we want a chance to greatly slow the spread. However it needs to be coordinated with the rest of the country if we want to minimize the total downtime. Shutting down Washington now and having to wait weeks for Idaho to follow (where there are no reported cases) is just going to force Washington to extend theirs as long as it takes for the last state to shut down.
Right, the actual number of cases is almost certainly over 1. The parent comment just said Idaho had no reported cases which is factually incorrect. The first reported case was on Friday.
One argument I never see in UBI discussions is that some people are just bad with money. If you give more money to someone who doesn't budget, save, live within their means, etc, it won't help. There are people who spend beyond their means and then get payday loans. So while it would help some people who would spend wisely, many would not.
You would have payday loans 2.0 where people would borrow against future UBI payments, spend on non necessities, and then be in an probably worse situation compared to the people still receiving UBI.
Maybe Benchmark is hoping for a situation like Zenefit's. Ousted the CEO and accused him of fraud. Then they effectively increased their investor and employee ownership stakes at the former CEO's expense.
Contents of the PoC are a ".zip" file that is actually plain-text (the engine ignores extension/mime types) and contains just this line of JS and 90kb of nonsense JS for entropy.
(new Error()).toString.call({message: 0x41414141 >> 1})
It's hard to imagine MS doesn't receive tons of watson crash reports of MsMpEng from trying to run bits of random JS. If they haven't looked at them, they probably should start now.
Isolation: It's hard not being around others from a social perspective. When you have no coworkers to vent to, celebrate with, or collaborate with, you get higher highs and lower lows since everything is internal.
Accountability: You're the boss and the employee, it can be really difficult to force your 'boss' self to do things your 'employee' self doesn't want to do (eg support, sales, refactoring, etc)
Sales: This has already been mentioned, but the hardest part for me is that you need to be pretty passionate about it to be successful.
Problem Solving: Sometimes you just cant "get" something, and talking through the problem aloud to someone can give you new ideas/solutions you hadn't even considered. You don't know what you don't know.
> and talking through the problem aloud to someone can give you new ideas/solutions you hadn't even considered
I have found that you can also do this by talking out loud as if you were talking to someone. You won't get the other person's perspective but for some reason your brain becomes more critical of its own thoughts
I wonder how this can be viable. The closing and transaction fees (agent/title/escrow/closing/excise) make it tough for many home-flippers to overcome and make a profit if no major renovations are done. 2-5% for closing costs on the purchase and sale, as well as agent fees when selling mean they have to gross at least 7-13% on every house just to break even.
Never used RethinkDB, but this is the first time I've seen an announcement this written as "we are shutting down, the team is moving to Stripe" rather than "We've been acquired by Stripe! Nothing will change except our product will stop working in 30 days"
The scientific literature recommending a low fat diet, incentivized the food industry to reduce/remove fat from their products, but then they had to compensate for the loss of flavour by adding sugar and other flavour enhancers. Fat is also filling, and by removing it, people need to eat more in order to feel full.
The average woman in the US today weighs as much as the average man did 50 years ago [0]. Changes in nationwide dietary habits, due in part to scientific literature over the last 50 years, bear some responsibility for that.
The processed food industry followed what the guidelines were to be compliant and be profitable.
I don't see how what scientific studies recommends, such as whole foods and greens are in the same vein as a low-fat microwaveable TV dinners from processed food companies.
