What would you have had New York do differently without the support of the federal government?

Can the state government close airports and prevent flights from Europe landing in NYC?

I would be worried about the ocular toxicity and ototoxicity side effects.

I would only want this drug given to me if there was no hope of recovery.

Agree, it reduces boilerplate and prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to writing testable code.

I’ve worked on similar systems, never again. God objects are something that should be avoided so that code is readable and maintainable.

We’re you able to drink the tap water after that amount of time?

The level of greed that Amazon and Bezos continue to demonstrate is sickening.

I agree it’s more likely this. And although service is better in the US, it does make me feel crappy because I know the only reason it’s better is because they so desperately need the tips.

I no longer use Uber or Lyft because I’ve had more rides with drivers who I would consider to be a “dangerous driver” than those I consider safe.

Many times the driver is in too big a rush to get their next fare, and they drive erratically and over the speed limit whilst using their phone. I even had a driver whose breath smelt like he’d been drinking. I just don’t feel safe, and I don’t think these companies regulate or check how safe their drivers are driving. I wonder whether there could be something in their driver app that monitors the speed or safety of the driver when they have a passenger in the car. I know that some insurance companies have apps like these.

Yeah, I interviewed someone over 60 a few months ago and myself and the other engineers who interviewed were all intimidated. It was fine once we were in the interview room but reading the resume scared everyone a little.

I want to say that people might feel intimidated by your resume. Maybe try excluding all but the most relevant degree and heavily tailoring the rest.

Why not make a playlist? Seems more durable

If you’re not scuba trained this is going to be pretty useless. Breathing from an oxygen tank whilst being unable to see (no mask), and constantly and steadily breathing as you descend and ascend take training. Not to mention the shock of the cold water and having to remember all this scuba training info. I think it would be useless for anyone that’s not an expert scuba diver, better to improve the harness so that passengers can actually release themselves.

You need to soak them in something stronger before washing - something bleach based. Napisan is great for this (and also for any white shirts etc).
