That doesn't work in small organizations with no bench strength. The next person is line usually isn't qualified.

It rarely works in large ones. Especially for an abrupt transition. An effective executive, particularly on the commercial side, is a living walking Rolodex of internal and external relationships which are immediately no longer working on behalf of the company.

Worse, they may work against you. I've seen competitors come swoop up top sellers or sales leaders and have them strip mine the good accounts from the remaining customer base.

The heart also is involved in powering the lymphatic system, though it's complicated. It powers it for part of the time, then part of the time, lymph is beyond its reach.

I have a history of heart pain and heart weirdness associated with certain health issues. It has gotten better over time as my health issues have improved.

I have come to believe that some of my heart issues -- especially pain in my chest, which is why I am replying to you -- are related to how the lymphatic system works and are related to health events that put a strain on my lymphatic system in some way.
What would happen if browsers just decided to make their own name service? Does icann have some sort of protection on domain names? Given that we already use Google or cloudflare DNS, why not just make a competing nameservice and throw icann to the curb?
That helps, but at least for Spain and Italy, the hypothesis seems to be that the virus was already widely spread by the time lock-down started, so a lot of transmission still happened during lock-down until it got under control. I think it's the same for UK and France. but I'm less familiar.

Other EU countries like Germany, Austria or Poland fared much better than Spain, France, UK and Italy.

Maybe different cultures (e.g. how people relate, how compliant they are, how many people willingly ignore measures, etc.) also play a role.
Can't answer for Indians, but as far I understand it is a bit complicated. Depending on the classification you are looking at there are like 6-8 branches of Yoga of which "Hatha Yoga" is one. Hatha Yoga is the one which most people think of as Yoga. It has the physical 'asanas' as the main component. It has other parts like 'Pranayam' as well which are breathing exercises with chanting of verses/sounds in some of them. Most people who practice yoga are doing 'asanas' primarily with 'pranayams' mixed in sometimes. 'Asanas' in themselves are mostly physical and I think anyone can do them without any context. So, feel free to do so. :)

I am well versed with React and have limited experience with Angular.

I reason I got to explore Angular, initially, was because of the following points, hammered around the internet in the myriad of "Angular Vs. React" articles.

1. Angular is a full framework, while React is just the front end library.

2. Eventually you will have to use state management libraries, Routing, etc in React. Angular provides it from the get go.

3. With React, you have an infinite number of choices of libraries for state, routing, etc. Hence, it can become confusing, while Angular is a full framework with preset libraries, and hence is more coherent.

However, In practicality, I experienced the following.

1. Angular is a full framework, implies, there is a lot more to learn. Now, don't get me wrong, when you complete on complex project in Angular and React, at the end of the project, if you count the hours of learning, it will probably be same for both. However, because React is paced out, it's easier to get started and make an MVP.

2. I absolutely hated the NgModule system in Angular. Maybe I am mistaken, but Angular purports to gather related code into Modules, which are not JS modules. The benefit touted is clean separation, better organization, easier to find code, etc. However, I found the Module system to be overly complicated and an additional cognitive overhead, to what is already a cognitive burden of developing in Typescript.

3. The infinite number of libraries, stack choices, etc argument for React does not actually hold much water.

(a) Redux / MobX are two libraries that are popular and complete enough to meet the requirements of 99% of the projects out there.

(b) React-Router is usually the router choice.

(c) Axios for REST communication.

Now, there are other libraries, which may be better. However, if you stick to the stack above, you have just as many tutorials, videos, articles, etc to help you with development.

For all these reasons, I found React to be a better alternative.

Note that the concepts behind these stacks is identical. The implementations are slightly different. However, if you are sound conceptually, these frameworks become a minuscule part of your app. Your focus would squarely be on app architecture than framework stuff.
I love Wavefront for metrics and Sumologic for log queries. They make troubleshooting and monitoring thousands of servers a pleasure.

Both have excellent UIs and they are truly powerful.

Avoid any Graffana based solutions, the only good thing I can say about them is that they are free.
CloudFlare is a good company and everyone has outages. IMHO the post-mortems they post are not only some of the best I've read from a big company, but they are produced quickly.

I only wish they could update cloudflarestatus.com more quickly. Shouldn't there be some mechanism to update that immediately when there is an incident? When the entire internet knows your down and your status page says All Systems GO! it looks very poorly on them.
You’re right, that was all we could arrive at at the time. We don’t have the plan that says test everyone once a week, support the folks who need to quarantine as a result, and really fence this off for 3 months til it’s down to little pockets. We don’t have a plan that says follow the regions, the counties, the communities, and work hardest on suppressing it where it was and where it was heading.

We did choose a bad option, now people who’ve been locked down are exhausted and ornery while the ones who didn’t are finally getting the idea.

And for some reason “no shirt no shoes no service” is well understood, no blowing secondhand smoke is accepted all over, but the right to infect is held as culturally important.
Yeah, this hack is a wakeup call. It could have been so much worse. Next time it probably will be.
There is a very high correlation between board membership and CEO experience. Who decides CEO compensation? The board. The players are making the rules and they're choosing rules that favour themselves.

Has it been peer reviewed? Otherwise not being an epidemiologist it is hard for me to judge weather the scientific argument presented by this paper is sound.
Any replacement would also need the ability to route traffic, and subject to similar risks. A "pre-push" testing simulator might be easier than throwing out BGP.
Agreed, it could be as simple as someone at Twitter calling someone in the White House every time someone logs into the account. (The White House has a ton of staff, I met some of their IT people at a conference back in the day.)

I've been hearing this for at least a decade. Same for Twitter. Seems to never work for me. And yet an un-curated FB feed is more enjoyable to me, which makes me a rube in some many folks' eyes.

I do think a lot of it comes down to one's tolerance for internet n00bs, popularity by upvotes rather than personal connection, an respect for influencers -- whether in the intellectual, professional, or stylistic realm.

Different strokes, I guess.
They're right, though. Some companies are large enough to give you credibility cover during an outage.

Do you have sources? Flat out none of this appears to actually be true. I won't go through point by point and debunk it all, but the A380 for example does less runway damage than some other planes because it has a lot more tires on which to distribute its weight. See: https://pp.bme.hu/ci/article/download/2103/6681/

But if everyone had of x for y weeks and that prevented z deaths, how is that not worth it?

x=stopped driving
y=52
z=34,000

or

x=not gone skiing
y=4 months
z=41

I'm not sure where the line is, but there are a number of things we could ban to lower the death rate. That doesn't mean I disagree with your assessment, but I'm just not sure I have any logical cut off point for what I would support and what I wouldn't other than just the way it feels looking at the numbers and how much it inconveniences me personally. (And I happen to like lockdown...)
Why not on Android?

Particularly considering that these apps most probably only plays and controls audio files, a single codebase for both the platform would have been easy to consider.
> the conclusion from most of the scientific community

Who is this "scientific community" that you speak of, anyway? Modern science is conducted through published research papers. I read papers and decide for myself which arguments to believe. Do I understand everything? No, of course not, but I learn a helluva lot more than if I trust what a secondary source tells me about scientific research and leave it at that. You only have to read a few papers to realize that what is reported in the media is often radically different than what the authors actually claim in a paper.

But really, this is tackled head-on in the paper itself. There is basically one peer-reviewed paper that argues against the man-made theory, and the authors point out flaws in that paper. I also read it an did not come away thinking that they had made a particularly convincing argument. I encourage you to do the same; it's a very approachable paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7095063/

They even state that "More scientific data could swing the balance of evidence to favor one hypothesis over another." In other words, the jury is out, and the prosecution has brought more evidence. Time to reevaluate.
JFK international airport is a 20 minute ride from the heart of Manhattan and we have a "transportation security agency" that can't find physical contraband in a suitcase much less be expected to be gatekeepers of health for the nation.

Suppose we drastically lower transmission. How many times should NYC and the surrounding areas be locked down because someone flew in from a country with loose contagion protocols?

Besides waiting for a vaccine and mass infections of those unwilling or unable to stay at home, I haven't seen a concrete proposal from anyone on what we should have or should be doing next.
So I'm not going to get into an argument, just make three basic points to reply here:

Hong Kong did not always belong to China, and was not leased to the UK - part of Hong Kong's area (the New Territories) was leased, but Kowloon and Hong Kong island were ceded in perpetuity.

China signed an international treaty with the UK regarding the handover of Hong Kong, a treaty which comes with certain rights and responsibilities. Sure, there's no real way to actually enforce such a treaty, but you can't really complain if other countries react to the breaking of a treaty with punitive measures, and don't trust the treaty-breaker not to break other treaties in future.

How about asking the people of Hong Kong what they want? There's about 7.5 million of us here, with a fairly unique history and culture, so maybe just being subsumed into another country wouldn't be the choice of the population?
The way that tracing was presented bred a lot of mistrust at least in the midwest.
Precisely. And who's to say which leaked DMs are real and which ones are faked? If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I recommend the book Active Measures.
Wish it were so simple, but alas, fair or not, this is a real and prevalent bias in the world.

I’ve had colo equipment that ran with 5-nine uptime for years eventually get unlucky and be down for an hour and it was “all my fault”. Switch the service to Amazon which achieves much worse uptime, but now it’s “well if Amazon is down, what can you do?”

Frankly when something seen as core internet infrastructure goes down, the measly SaaS companies pretty reasonably don’t take any blame.

To be clear, often these are services where there isn’t the engineering budget, nor honestly the need, for multi-cloud and geographically distributed multi-master services.
> why would you think that using open source software to access bits off of global internet is unethical/illegitimate?

"It's just bits." That's a slippery slope.

One might argue that circumventing the intended purpose of a platform in this way uses technological advantage to take advantage of content creators who are vulnerable.

> Someone hits your car, and says "can we just settle this privately, I don't want my premium to go up", and you agree out of kindness, and a few days later you get a letter saying that they're making a claim against your insurance. You've missed your chance to get yourself on record as the victim.

No this has happened to me and I won ultimately anyway. In California they ask people to immediately get out of the road if they can (i.e. move their cars), and generally deal with it privately if it's under some dollar amount. All states have some variant of this.

If the person then comes after you it will be decided between the insurance companies who directly investigate the car and take statements. In my case I explained what happened and pointed out how the scratches/dents/etc supported it.

As for playing games with the police, filing a false police report is a crime so be very careful about changing your official statements with them. I'd say talk to a lawyer to advise you on exactly what to say, of perhaps even have them deal directly to get you out of it.
> It flies in the face of the traditional reasons given for the high pay of executives

Without intervening regulations, there’s only ever two reasons any persons remuneration is whatever it happens to be.

1) The employer was willing to pay that amount for whatever value it is they see in that employee

2) The employee was willing to accept that amount for the job the employer offered them

All employees try to get paid as much as possible, and all employees try to pay as little as possible. A persons pay is just the equilibrium price for their labor, and determined exclusively by supply and demand.
Doxxing is not a crime, that's my point. And I am in no way interested in making it one. Innocent people should remain innocent until proven guilty and the rest of our god-forsaken species should figure out how to grow up and treat people with compassion and respect.

If what Krebs is doing in this case impacts the dude in any tangible and negative way he should sue Krebs for liable. That would be interesting.
I don't care, I don't have children. I think it's interesting that 30% is evil when it comes to app stores or food delivery but with outschool.com suddenly it is well deserved.

As someone from Germany I also think that 600€ for "entertaining" one child (with 180€ going to a platform provider) is crazy.

I don't have kids though so in the end if that's what the market rate ends up at apparently it is either what parents are willing to pay or at least it is what market providers presume to be a realistic rate (and we will see how soon the marketplace will run out of money).
I only know about the One China policy from Wikipedia, but it seems like there's disagreement among the political parties of Taiwan about if they want to keep it. If I was an official, I wouldn't want to have signed a declaration that agrees to China's position unless it matched the official position of Taiwan.
Nice article.

But the website has that terrible social media sharing panel that floats on the left side of the screen. And it ends up covering every single line in the article. So effectively, you can only read the article on the top 25% of the screen.

There's lots of ways to configure the project but you can setup lazy loading routes, components, and stores so that your user only has loaded what they need. Typescript support is OK, there's some helper libraries that make it better. All of those things make scaling just fine.

These are all important concerns, but they have absolutely nothing to do with vote fraud. The first two are voter suppression activities. The last four are election fraud, which is a very different thing than voter fraud.

The notion that you have to follow up with every single voter is absurd. You can statistically sample anywhere you suspect (imagine) that fraud transpired and dig deeper in areas where you get hits.

OP's first article even cites Rick Hasen who notes that there were only 491 prosecutions for absentee ballot fraud between 2000-2012.

There is no widespread vote fraud problem. There hasn't been for decades

Most drugs are coming from South America, so Canada isn't really in the way. My guess is amongst other things, there's better conditions for growing them there.

Apparently there is some drug trafficking through Canada [1] mostly coming from Asia, which makes sense, since it'd follow international shipping routes. I'd imagine the volume is much less because it sounds much more expensive, which would make it a much less profitable and contested industry.

For me it's helpful to think not in terms of cars sold, but total miles driven. A sedan occasionally driven by an elderly to run errands and a FedEx truck both count as "a vehicle", but the difference in fuel usage is substantial.

With that in mind, Tesla's semi-truck pre-orders (for Wal-mart et al), Amazon's Rivian pre-orders and USPS' announced mandate to partially electrify its fleet are far more impactful for energy markets.
