I think it stretches the meaning of "dress code" to breaking point when the required item is functional. Are seatbelts a "dress code"? Open carry weapons?

But I think you hit the mark closer with that little hedge of "and conduct", at the beginning. This isn't about dress codes per se, it's about rules - many Americans simply hate rules and reflexively rebel against them. Any suggestion that one should make a sacrifice for the collective good is invariably met, from some quarters, with a kind of moral outrage - often accompanied with self-righteous rhetoric giving frequent mention to "freedom" and "liberty", and often "the Constitution" and "founding fathers" as well. The inability to make collective sacrifice is a huge social weakness that interferes with the formation of a civil society, and in my opinion it is, more than anything else, the reason America is handling the pandemic so poorly - not just in terms of the acute response, but also the very structure of society. For example, due to overwhelming distaste for the idea of paying to fix other people's problems even if it's manifestly better for society as a whole, there's no socialized healthcare, or functioning social safety net - both of which cause people in low-paying service jobs to drag themselves to work while fighting COVID-19.

THAT'S IT! Thank you.
Geometric algebra and algebraic geometry are largely unrelated mathematical disciplines.

Algebraic geometry has to do with finding geometric structure in (the solutions of) systems of algebraic equations. Algebraic geometry is potentially useful whenever you're doing this, so cryptography, coding theory, optimization, ...

Extensions.GetValue ?!
You shouldn't get down-voted for an honest question. Especially since the messaging from our (US) experts was, in my opinion, criminally confused.

There is a lot of theater going on but: 1. masks do help in aggregate 2. theater can also help (I won't address that).

For the record I am a physicist, not a physician or a biologist. Everything I'm writing below are conclusions I arrived at from an understanding of physics, not biology. But it turned out that my conclusions were largely correct.

Let's assume this is, primarily, a respiratory disease. Therefore, the virus is present in the respiratory tract -> let's assume that it will exploit that power of exhalation (to jump out) and inhalation (to establish) to spread itself.

I think my assumptions are fair.

As you point out, there are two types of masks: N95 vs. surgical masks. In fact, there is an important subtype of mask, the N95 with valve. These last ones are great for individuals, but are very dangerous overall.

The cheap surgical masks with wide openings on the sides doesn't protect you very much. It's not meant to. It's meant to protect others from you. It does this by destroying the kinetic energy of the droplets so that they mostly come into contact with you (and you're already sick, so who cares?). Also if the virus needs droplets to survive, the mask will dry them out.

The N95 with a valve only protects you, not others. The N95 mask seals your face and forces all inhaled air through a filter that the virus cannot penetrate. But the valve forces the unfiltered air in am accelerated jet aimed at whoever you are facing.

The N95 mask without a filter protects others and yourself.

Now, there is mounting evidence that the COVID virus is aerosolized, meaning that it doesn't need a droplet. Still, the face coverings are important because the exhaled air is slower and therefore limited in its spread.

I arrived at these conclusions in late January, and was able to buy a few N95 masks in time. I didn't buy many because I didn't want to be an asshole (and I couldn't find them already). I planned to re-use them and I have. In five months my wife and I have lost two to due wear, so at this rate we have enough to last about a year, year and half. I never believed the admonition that you cant re-use masks. You can, if done right, and Dr.s have been forced to do so at work.
People are being downvoted to oblivion for mentioning this, but for some of us coming from different languages, it definitely takes some time to get used to things.
I'm new to julia, so am probably more ignorant about this than most... but importing two packages such as DifferentialEquations and Plots, on my very modern machine takes ~30seconds (this is after they've been "precompiled").
I'm curious, assuming I haven't installed anything new, or haven't changed my installation, why does julia not cache this complied binary somewhere? It seems like this long step has to happen on each new-kernel import, but perhaps it could be avoided?
Having an option flag that would cause julia to redo the compilation (because the user has, say, changed something about their installtion), seems like a simple solution.

What am I missing?
Foreclosure takes a long time during which you could sell the house and extract any gains in equity made during years of fast growth and use this to support your family and keep your home where your family lives.

In a bad scenario you keep most of your wealth and the home you live in.

Your bad scenario is still literally better than half the nations good scenario.
I am willing to bet that quite a few more households have at least one hammer than households that have a typewriter. I'm also willing to bet that there are far more houses that have multiple hammers than those who have multiple typewriters. Some tools are so ubiquitous a lot of people have enough of them for a construction team. Flat screw drivers? Scissors?

They are tools, for sure. But some tools aren't so obsolete that today's youth would struggle at first to use them.
If you have gapps installed (every stock ROM unless you're in china), you should probably assume google is tracking your location through wifi networks. As such, you should probably install lineageos for additional security.
How big is your home NAS? I've been transitioning to SSD for a couple of years now, though I still use Seagate 5TB HDDs for cold-storage backups. The speed and lighter physical weight makes a huge difference to me.
There's a cross-origin issue with the webfonts.

Alternatively, you could run it with --compile=min and --optimize=0 to minimize latency at the cost of runtime performance (making it comparable to Python).

This has usability problems. I don't always remember whether I used 'dr.', 'dr', or 'drive' for a street name. I can't remember if I put a space between two words. I don't recall the capitalization I used (was it proper, or did I go with lower case because I was rushed?)

If a site is going to require precise answers (and I suppose any other method probably creates additional bugs, reduces security...), then I might as well generate random responses and put those in my password manager, too.

Traditionally governments take a slice of any purchase and it's not viewed as extortion it's called taxes. Trump can talk all he wants but he doesn't have the unilateral power to block a sale or issue a tax on that sale.

If the comment is interpreted as a suggestion that taxes should be made then that is something to be considered as there are always positive and negative implications to any tax.

When you have the tooling in place, it’s relatively easy to remodel your data in Postgres. I use alembic (python), so most of the schema changes are handled for me - and then I need to write any updates to fill in the gaps. It doesn’t matter what you’re using though, if you’re restructuring data, you need to handle the changes yourself to get from one consistent state to another. Postgres allows you to do this so you you don’t end up in some horrible halfway house where you’ve kinda migrated, but kinda not because you missed something. DB level constraints are the best, especially when you have a bunch of legacy data to worry about.

Please stop being an asshole in HN comments. You've done it more than once recently. We ban accounts that do that, and have had to warn you about this before.

I love NewRelic, but their pricing always baffled me.

When we added it to our QA, UAT, and Staging envs, they started wanting to bill us as if we had 3x as many "production" environments. I had to explain on a call that it doesn't make sense that environments that get .0001% of the production traffic are billed at the exact same price. Basically punishing us for having a more mature SDLC.

We also run our infrastructure with redundancy, so we got billed for every region & availability zone, they wanted it to be crazy expensive.

I'm curious how this changes things, the new "pro" pricing is not available sadly :(
Menu fatigue is real, I experienced it only a few weeks ago. PC laptops often differ just enough in things like build quality processor version, RAM amounts, screen quality that you are constantly trying to balance "best" or compare A vs B vs Q, and if you care a lot about maximizing value for your budget, you end up spending hours looking at reviews, benchmarks, etc.

In contrast, with a Macbook, I know it's not perfect, but there's a clear differentiation of qualities (air, macbook, pro), and only a couple differences within those categories, so it's a lot easier to decide based on budget, or based on your needs.

yep I don't disagree with you. I can see how my comment reads like I'm casting blame solely on corporate lobbying, but it's obviously more complicated than that--money in politics, etc.
Some psychologists seem to be okay with the idea of self-bribery to get through difficult tasks. I think culturally some of us are taught that this is a form of weakness, but it just results in things not being done.

I don't agree with a lot of Alcoholics Anonymous' philosophy, but the concept of 'white-knuckling' is quite a powerful metaphor for the trap we get into of trying to force ourselves through a difficult activity, and it speaks to a somewhat tortured value judgement around the relative value of doing a task at all versus doing it yourself. Like you'd rather have mold in your house than pay some guy to fix the shingles on your roof.

I've consumed as much if not more of my favorite ice cream in the last year, but it tends to be reserved for conscious choices: I'm going to make a difficult phone call or work on my billing, then go for ice cream, rather than whenever I just feel stressed. It is certainly not the only tool I have added to the toolbox, but it complements others and the end results have improved my outlook. And since motivation and mood are spirals (which I think you were trying to say?), that's a big deal.

I guess I was thinking of which flex would be equally absurd to future generations as the pineapple. Expensive goods have always been a “flex” but most expensive goods don’t become so widely available and affordable so quickly. 200 years ago a pineapple would’ve cost $15,000 and today pineapple can be bought by the neediest members of society using food stamps. I don’t think the same will be true of a Rolex in 2220.
Researching deeper, I found Ensley was originally built as an industrial town for a massive US Steel plant. that plant is now gone. If the jobs are gone, its a tough proposition to invest in the neighborhood.

Yes, there is a lot of education problem when you want to discuss anything virus related.

This is just more of the same behavior we've seen for years now, but you still throw your hands up and ask, what have we come to as a country? You get tired of doing this weekly.

That the President could even think of uttering the phrase that "we should get a cut for allowing this deal to go ahead". As if we're gangsters borderline extorting businesses because "we wouldn't want any harm to come to your very nice deal here, would we?"

Pro-business Republicans, this is what the party stands for? The party line was, benefits of economic growth and business going directly to the people, not government -- and you'll get behind a statement like this, carving out a special rule to take a percentage off the top?

I like hydrogen and support trying it in aviation (the Soviet Union actually had an airliner that ran on liquid hydrogen, so this isn't really that new of an idea), but I really don't see how hydrogen can compete on economics with fossil fuels.
Why is it a mistake to judge on one incident? If I worked with someone who seemed like a professional, and then one day he spat on me and never apologized and denied he did so, I'd probably judge that guy even though it was just one incident.

There is a difference between making a mistake or being wrong while trying to be right, and intentionally doing something bad or refusing to acknowledge error. Everyone is in the first category sometimes, but you don't really have to be in the latter category.

If the NYT is intentionally doing bad things, even once or a handful of times, then I don't think it makes sense to forgive and forget until they show me they understand and have corrected the issue.

The problem is that for most things I can't tell if they're right or wrong or arguing in good faith or not. If something comes up where I can definitively tell, and they are definitely acting wrong - it destroys lots of credibility because that's really one of my rare chances to evaluate their performance. I can't trust them in domains I don't know about if they aren't very good in domains I do know about.
