People can't see who's contagious in the early stages, so they're gambling with their lives by not taking proactive precautions before it's a widespread problem. COVID-19/SARS-cov-2 is something to take seriously

Cool. Fruit cocktail trees are also awesome because they have multiple fruit varieties on a single tree via grafting. If you know how to do grafting, you can add additional fruits without planting more trees. Now, if only I can figure out h

Awesome. Columbia says they have a lifetime warranty, but a $300 running rain jacket I bought at their flagship store sometime ago they refused to repair or replace it when all of the inner liner started flaking off and it was no longer usa

Nomad is much simpler. https://www.hashicorp.com/products/nomad For slightly larger teams, Cloud Foundry (PaaS) is like local Heroku and it supports Docker too. If you need actual VMs irrespective of deploying apps, it

A Mac Mini expanded with two SSDs with syncthing is superior to sneakernet because it provides replication. And, if you really want to, add a 14 TiB HC520 placed in an external USB 3 case. Add an rsync server to get backup. Forget the cloud

Try them all and then pick one (or two): - SpiderOak One - Mega (very cheap) - Syncthing (open source)

I don't particularly care about what Tesla, SolarCity or Silevo does or doesn't do. What is concerning is handing over hundreds of millions in socialist corporate welfare that goes to waste, when that money could've helped th

I'm sorry but that's wrong because that's trying to twist the meaning of words. No money, no healthcare isn't universal obviously. With no single-payer, government-funded, healthcare system, only doctors and patients who

Wow, that's cool. I wonder if vision, dental, medical, hospital, prescriptions and mental are all covered without fees? The very poor in the US only get Medicaid (rarely Medicare, which requires paying into Social Security long enough)

I don't want to crap all over Koreans or Korean culture, but there's one element that profoundly bothers me: the abandonment and shunning of the elderly. Many are homeless or live lonely lives in destitution and having to rely on

Yes, but it will take time because the acceleration is proportional to the amount present until it reaches a carrying capacity and burns itself out, or it slows in deceleration because of large quarantines / isolation orders. The probl

Some certs like A+ are a game to get the candidate to memorize useless, obscure trivia that is found in someone's test prep materials. The exploitative training/testing racket is all about creating a subscription-like dependency w

Yup. My boss had an MCSE but could only operate a Windows desktop as a power user and install Windows (server). He got this cert because of the "bootcamp" where they only taught to the tests and then they took the tests until they

Get an A+ certification and see how far you get. :) I could be wrong, but you come across to me on the negative-side, like cognitive distortions or inexperience. "Some job markets" being what specifically? Game dev, for example, t
