Not a definitive list, but do look around on which titles other companies are using. One way to do that is through career ladders - the Dropbox one was already mentioned in this th…

Probably some combination of security theater and well-intentioned but shallow, nearsighted and misguided attempt to increase security by reducing a perceived attackable surface ar…

If someone has access to your laptop with a logged-in Gmail account, they could change your password and log you out of your other devices, effectively gaining total control of you…

Fair enough, but in many cases some attendees attend only by inertia and would be better off declining instead anyway. Which is probably good overall if the meeting is indeed "stup…

Time can also yield better vaccines, a policy of recurring vaccine doses (like the yearly flu shots), and milder variants that can emerge and become dominant, like some believe is …

And yet your own linked study says, right in the first paragraph, that vaccinated contacts got it 38% less often. Is it possible that this is not enough, and “virtually everyone wi…

> Side effects don't have to happen in the next 6 months. If you're willing to go that route, the same could be said for COVID itself.

Wikipedia defines "vaccine" as "a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease" , which in my view would fit the Pfizer/Moderna …

From a "reducing my risk of dying" perspective, you'd have to balance the risk of dying from taking the vaccine vs the risk of dying from COVID with zero treatments, one treatment,…

It wouldn't be necessarily illogical but would still qualify as "taking part in an experiment trial", as put by the parent post. To determine if this is a rational strategy or not,…

Citation needed - and note I didn't say it prevents "100% of spreading"

Do you have a source for R0 being _absolutely equal_ in vaccinated vs unvaccinated?

Which is a fair viewpoint from the societal level, but not as much for the individual level, which was implied in the parent message - i.e. how can "I'll take experimental treatmen…

Some might, but not all, which is still a reduction

Why is this drug less experimental than the vaccines?

Comparable individual outcome, worse societal outcome - you still spread it, so no reduction in overall cases, unlike a vaccine.

Most people don't, to be fair. The case where zero-downtime strategies are adopted for (at least) a questionable ROI is far more common.

In Portuguese, it's _Uma lagarta muito comilona_ according to Amazon - something like "A very guzzling cartepillar"

Maybe actual clock differences? Not sure if that's the case, but in audio engineering, a separate clock may be used to keep all devices involved in-sync (many pro-level audio devic…

Sounds right to me too. One quicker way to improve the 'first process' is to change only step one - do not spend a long time, but instead write a few paragraphs with what's most im…

Speaking as someone with no clue about chicken farms, do the chicken naturally go back in the coop at night? Does your automation risk locking chickens outside the coop?
