Try Pizzarte and Naples 45 in Midtown

And for a different type of pizza but honestly my favorite pizza on Earth, try the Portobello pizza at Mediterraneo on the UES. They have no idea how good that pizza is otherwise they'd turn the whole place into a pizzeria and just do that everyday
It’s extremely doubtful that this obscure anti-bacterial technique is what he was talking about; he was probably just confused by reporting on UV room sterilisation, which is a real, effective, practice, but not suitable for humans unless you’re not fussy about whether they survive.
Reading Russel’s post WWII take on The Republic in A History of Western Philosophy is as close to taking a great class in college as I got after I was no longer in that setting. So many of those eye opening moments that make you reevaluate what you felt like you understand.

>Does any business operate this way, including the one you work at?

Maybe it means that some institutions, especially ones with such a critical role as controlling the money supply, perhaps should not be run with a for-profit model, but some other model that better ensures the institution will serve the public interest, rather than the interest of an exceedingly small handful of elites. Typing this out it seems even more obvious.

It may come as a shock to some people, but capitalism isn't an immutable law of nature. There are such things as alternatives.
Listen to the remarks, and its clear he never said anything about injecting disinfectant directly into a patient. It was part of a conversation he had with Dr. Bill Bryant, leader of science and technology at HHS, about using new information about how light, heat and humidity kill the virus. A reporter, Jonathan Karl of ABC brought up the question about injecting disinfectant, and he said "it wouldn't be through injection" and deferred to the experts. It's a shame the reporters insist on politicizing this.

Taiwan, South Korea and New Zealand have all had effective responses to the pandemic that haven't required lockdowns. It's just that the West doesnt believe in survival masks and didn't make them, and can't figure out how to find and isolate cases.
Will they be the first to recapture business while the neighboring states are hamstrung? Is this another way they are cruelly removing poor people from their state because poorer people often have more COVID and more often die? Can a state be penalized by the fed for having a rising death rate from COVID when they do this?

What would China say about this? Are they doing the same in select provinces?
There are several factors in US politics that led to Trump's election (including foreign involvement), and none of them are "Trump was someone who was qualified to be a capable leader."

Whether it's the anti-intellectualist trend that lurks in some segments of the US population, or the way that the Republican party successfully intertwined themselves into American religious institutions several decades ago to make Republican party loyalty be perceived as an odd form of "cultural-Christian" piety by many who were swept up by the "religious Right" and "moral majority" movements, or the straight-up disinformation campaigns targeted at the most willful audiences....not one factor was tied to Trump being a good people leader or an intelligent strategist. It's more that he was the guy that happened to be there when a confluence of other efforts came to fruition, and he was crazy/manipulable/stupid enough to be useful for the role of "candidate".

> I can't help thinking that this may have been the subject of the rambling, inarticulate speech recently given by POTUS?

No, this is another example of the media taking his ramblings and trying to clean it up and make sense of it. If that had been the ONLY idea he pushed in that press briefing then I might be more willing to believe that but he followed up with injecting disinfectants so I think it's pretty clear he was just spewing a stream of consciousness.

> After he went to the mat for hydroxychloroquine, it's pretty natural for everyone to be skeptical, though.

To be fair I think the jury is still out on hydroxychloroquine. Trump pushed it because he thought it might a miracle drug that would save the economy and his reelection. That's all true but it can also be true that hydroxychloroquine can work for some people (people without heart conditions and when combined with other drugs like zinc and/or azithromycin, we need more GOOD studies: random, double-blind, high number of people, drug administered early not as "last-ditch"). I hope this whole incident is going to shine a light on a number of "academics" like the ones involved in the unforgivable VA hydroxychloroquine "study". Of course we should also blame the press for treating it as fact but I digress.

Disclaimer: I don't work at a FAANG. However this is my observations from interviewing at FAANGs.

Seems random to be honest. Some of my interviewers have been older people. Some of the people waiting with me at lobbies prior to interview have been older people. I'm 38 FYI.

Seems your ability to pass the leetcode problems is the most important factor, so long as you don't torpedo yourself with odd behavior during the non-technical portions.

For more experienced candidates like yourself and I, I hear the system design round is also important. But your success in that is more difficult to gauge, whereas you kind of know whether you bombed an leetcode round or not.

Depressing is that your multiple decades of experience might be absolutely worthless as far as passing leetcode rounds go. Your experience may or may not be useful for the system design round. It's useful if your experience with systems matches that with what the company is looking for. It's useless if not. I've noticed the systems at many non-tech enterprise companies don't exactly align with the systems at newer tech companies.

Why wouldn’t he just say whatever pops into his head, regardless of whether it’s remotely plausible at all?

I think there’s almost no forethought given to a lot of his words/actions. Nobody could set up a long game like this for 70+ years to become President.

Yeah definitely, its not good as a general bit of advice, but it could be helpful as a specific bit of advice to a motivated person down on their luck. If your luck is tied to geography, see if theres a way to move to somewhere with better luck. Whether it's a different city or a different country.
Is there any reason to believe the dangers of the presumed misinformation being censored are actually significant? Is it killing more people than the Tide pod challenge for example? The article mentions taking vitamin C, and turmeric, but that just seems harmless to me. If it was just that, it’s clearly not worth banning the masks or origin discussion.
My parents have a wood fired, and I have an Ooni Koda. I can compare:

- The base is better on the wood fired oven. The Kodas stone doesn't get hot enough. I've read recommendations to replace the stone with a steel, because it's more conductive.

- The koda heats up in a timescale I'm ok with. Like, 20 minutes. For the wood fired oven, it usually takes about 2 hours for the oven itself to be hot enough, but you really want the oven to be completely saturated with heat. This can take over 4 hours.

- I've had the Koda about 6 months now, and used it about 20 times. It hasn't really registered on the meter attached to my 13 kg gas bottle, and this is the only thing I use it for. I'm not at all concerned about the gas usage, even when its used a refill is cheap.

- The wood oven, in contrast, goes through wood significantly faster than our wood burning stove.

- I can do more with the wood oven, like bread, or roasts. The profile of the Koda means my normal cookware doesn't fit, and while I'm ok with buying Ooni's low profile cast iron, I just haven't done it yet. That said, while I like the idea of cooking food under real fire with smoke and intense direct heat, I don't see that with essentially a big gas oven. I have other tools.

- I can take the Koda anywhere, but when my parents move house there's no chance the wood oven moves.
I think the current understanding is that the primary way that it kills is through circulatory system effects, blood clots that cause difficulty getting oxygen from the lungs, as well as strokes and heart attacks and other organ failures.

I can't speak to pizza, but I have an espresso story to tell.

One of my favorite things about going to Italy is the quality of the coffee. I really like extreme dark roast (your typical American diner coffee doesn't even count as coffee in my book). In Italy you can go into pretty much any coffee shop and come away with a top-quality espresso. (Don't even get me started on Starbucks.) It's a taste I inherited from my parents, who have European roots.

Now, my parents are seriously old-school. They still live in the house I grew up in, a house they bought new in 1975 and pretty much never updated. It still has the original flower-pattern wall paper. Walking into their house today feels like stepping into a time machine that transports you to an episode of the Brady Bunch. And in their kitchen is a 40-year-old Mr. Coffee which my father loves to futz with. On a good day he can coax it into producing an acceptable cup of joe, but that's about it. So for their 50th anniversary I decided I was going to buy them a proper espresso machine.

Now, I know next to nothing about espresso except that I love to drink it, so I started doing some homework and very soon got lost in a morass of coffee geekdom. The range of options available in the espresso machine market is truly mind-boggling, as are the prices. I didn't mind dropping some serious coin (this was their 50th anniversary after all) but I wanted to make sure I was actually getting something for my money. So I decided to do some experiments.

At the time I worked in a co-working office that had a high-end espresso machine (retail price $5000) and several Italians so I asked one of them to show me how to make a proper espresso. I wanted to use the espresso that came out of the office machine as a baseline and compare it to what I could make on a less expensive machine to see if the machine actually made a difference. "The first thing you have to do," he told me, "is to get the right beans. You have to go to this little specialty shop that's a half-hour drive away and get this particular brand of beans..." which, of course, cost $50 a pound or something absurd like that. But I love my parents, so I dutifully complied.

Proper beanage having been procured, we spent several hours brewing espresso with just about every possible variation on the theme you could imagine. Different grinds (we had a high-end burr grinder in the office too), different packings, different machine settings. Not once did we manage to produce a cup that any of us considered even remotely drinkable. It was all acidic and awful, probably because the machine had never been cleaned since it was installed god-only-knows how many years before.

I ended up getting them a Keurig. I got one for myself too. It makes a decent cup of coffee, but nothing compared to what you find in Italy. It is still a mystery to me how the Italians manage to produce such consistently good coffee, but only in Italy. When they come to the U.S. they seem to lose the touch. Maybe there's something in the water.
I found this helpful when I'm in a rut:

Recommit to doing everything right, with a focus on the little things. Not just work or life. Daily routine and small chores. If you loose focus, acknowledge it and move on.

Focus on what's most important. Don't do anything else until what's most important is done. This helps stop overworking, scrubbing every bit of the kitchen when you should be getting clients or spending time with family.

Once your confidence builds up, take a real look at the top businesses.

Rich and famous?

Or just the public face of a lot of other people's hard work.

That's good! You have to be happy for other people's success. It's a luxury.

A really good credit card makes up a lot of business today. One good client pays the bills. Everything else likely gets a no. Getting a look even if it ends in a no is quite an accomplishment.

It's a fight at the top. A bad one. Some people want to do horrible things. Our side convinces people to pursue peace and knowledge. Sometimes you're just not ready.

There's someone here talking about a 6 month gap in their resume. The job interview is not a court of law. Just say:

"I had my own clients."
> "oh yeah? How that go?"
"Good! I made more money with them."
> "Huh. So why you quit?"
"I sold it. I sold the business."

Don't sell yourself short. Don't cheerlead either. Hindsight always makes you feel bad. Decide, and stick to the script no matter what. Admitting to mistakes and relating to people are for the ones at the top of the food chain. They might as well be in a different universe.

Also, there's the killer cold outbreak. If you're willing to work, I think they'll take you. A lot of people well off are not going to risk it. They'll go back home and take care of their family.
I'm curious, do you have a very thin layer of seemingly uncooked/raw/wet dough just under the tomato sauce? We use a high quality pizza steel, run our oven at max heat and preheat everything for 45 minutes, but that layer is always there.

When Medfield came out, Apple didn't have it's own chip and x86 still lost. It was an entire 1.5 nodes smaller and only a bit faster than the A9 chips of the time (and only in single-core benches). The A15 released not too long after absolutely trounced it.
> or I'd happily ditch it for a really powerful thermally cooled desktop and use that as my machine

I returned my 2018 Mac Mini because I was frustrated with all the constraints:

- eGPU required a PC-like external chassis, totally defeating the point of the Mini.

- Want to upgrade the storage? You need an external drive chassis and a free TB3 port.

- Only 2 type-A USB ports

I got fed up with it and returned the Mini.

So, I ended up building a really nice mini-ITX Hackintosh for the same price as what I paid for the Mini. It's got a couple NVMe sticks in it, and a 10tb hdd. The whole thing is about the same size as an eGPU chassis alone. It's quiet, it stays cool, and is relatively rock-solid.

That was almost 18 months ago and I still don't regret it a bit.

It's the "Mac" for me.
> “Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it?” he added, turning to Mr. Bryan, who had returned to his seat. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.”

FTA. He was very explicitly talking about doing it inside human bodies.

Is that because all of the people working service jobs can no longer afford to live in the Bay Area which makes $1 million 'not wealthy'?

> Step 1: Get a well paying job at a big tech company. There is very little luck involved in this, just get really good at algorithms. No need for a famous school, specific degree etc. It requires intelligence, if you don't have that then you need luck.

Sorry but no. Like everyone else has pointed out, this is so far from the truth that I’m actually in awe that someone would write this.

There is a ton of luck involved with getting a job at a good tech company. First being something straight up mentioned in the article - knowing the right people. The chances of a regular hard working person getting past even the initial resume filter takes luck. It takes luck for a referral to find the right hiring manager’s desk.

Get past that and then depending on the company, there’s always the chance that someone interviewing you is having a bad day or maybe the team “fit” isn’t there.

There are a ton of obstacles that come down to luck because it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

Edit: Since many people are using anecdotal data and survivorship bias as proof that this is true, how about a counter point. I interviewed at a FAANG before and didn’t get the job. Later on, I met someone who works at that company who was able to look me up. I had passed their bar. Not with flying colors but well enough that you would generally get an offer. Why didn’t I? Because that specific team that interviewed me had a skillset need that I didn’t have. But there’s no way of knowing that prior because the job description doesn’t point that out. It’s just how their (and most companies’) process works. So like I said, luck.

Without that presumption how could anything ever be considered Turing complete?
If you're simulating something with infinite memory you get to pretend you have infinite memory. Feasibility has already been suspended.

Edit: ok I get it. Still, GP observation is hardly at that level from my (limited) perspective. Not being able to advance by itself means it's not a standalone system - otoh external actor is obviously implicit for many other examples as well. I suppose they (and me) are taking the word machine too literally.

But "pens are Turing-complete" seems a bit, well, diluted.

This is a particular kind of challenge that definitely occurs for more experienced engineers, however I also suspect you have a stronger foundation than you realize and could shine with some specific guidance.

I've studied philosophy a great deal, and I'm terribly confused about your takeaways, because neither have anything to do with Aristotle as far as I know.

Aristotle was the founder of what is now termed "virtue ethics", which expressly has nothing to do with utility. In fact, utilitarianism and Bentham/Mill are seen as expressly opposite Aristotle's virtue ethics, not building on it. (Kant's deontology being the third main philosophical alternative.)

Similarly, pursuing an objective without distraction could not be less Aristotelian. If you could boil down virtue ethics to a single line, it would be that virtue is about finding the happy medium between excesses.

I think you're confusing something else with Nicomachean Ethics. I'm kind of curious what it is now, though.
It is generally recognized that negotiating with Fascists is a bad idea, as many in the Weimar Republic would indicate.

Nationalist Spain also enjoyed extreme support by both capitalist Western Europe and the Soviet Union. If your theory of equal popularity being necessary for a protracted civil war, asymmetric foreign support indicates that the non-Nationalist side would have higher social support.
