Where I am, it's light out from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the shortest days of the winter. The thing is a lot of people aren't even awake at 7 a.m. and if they are (I am), they're doing indoor things like making breakfast/showering/etc. So for a lot of people, that hour or two of morning light is really just wasted. In the afternoon though, everyone can take advantage of the daylight.

FYI, I've taken 10mg Xanax during a trip that wasn't going well and it did literally nothing. Normally, 0.5mg would put me to sleep. Seroquel (Quetiapine), on the other hand, does work if you want an escape hatch and don't mind being sedated.

It's actually this exact attitude that kept it out of the media. I'm curious: what is your goal? Everyone can see the glaringly obvious circumstantial evidence that it was a lab leak. At this point, comments like your's just look ridiculous.

Because there's an obvious implication that Trump is pushing the drug because he has a financial interest in pushing the drug. But if his financial interest is so small that he stood to gain hundreds of dollars, maybe thousands at most, then implying he's doing it for financial reasons is extremely dishonest.

This is one of the scammiest companies to ipo in a while. They're dumping shitty stock on the public and doordash will never, ever make a profit. The way they handle tips should be illegal.

Well, there was will to change that and a bipartisan piece of legislation did -- McCain Feingold. What happened is that the undemocratic supreme court struck down with bullshit justification.

So, instead of ugly commercial monstrosities we're going to get rows of tiny, dark apartments in a weird building that doesn't really use space efficiently. And this is a best case conversion: historic building in an urban area. Imagine how awful a suburban mall would be.

I feel like Sweden's approach is a red herring. Everything I've read suggests that life in Sweden right now is very similar to other countries with more restrictive lockdowns. Like restaurants/shops haven't been forced to close, but many have closed anyway because business is down 80-90%. And they're definitely not going to get to herd immunity any time soon. The percentage of people exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in Stockholm is only slightly higher than New York City.

We should also strive to reduce the amount of time PRs sit in master without being live.

Simplest solution at the scale and level of reliability that I've had experience with is to effectively say that master is what's live. In other words, a merge to master triggers a deploy under normal circumstances. It'll save you a lot of headaches. That plus one command/click deploy last known good build and feature flagging all major updates pretty much removes the whole deploy process as a significant failure risk.

My personal experience is that all subscription management platforms fall over when you're doing enterprise SaaS. At a certain level (because literally your most valuable customers insist), you have to deal with credit cards, ACH, wire transfers, and checks. On top of that: custom plans, all sorts of weird line items and discounts, prepays, etc. And then you usually want reporting in multiple different formats (e.g. for the accountants/IRS, for company leadership)... it gets messy really quickly and I haven't seen platform that can handle the mess. Probably a startup in there, but not one I'd like to build.

I agree. An even bigger problem is that most of the benchmark suite is completely irrelevant to what these CPU's are going to be used for. These are meant for servers. They should keep that in mind when selecting what benchmarks and which operating system to use.
