That raises the question of how to identify the sick. SARS-CoV-2 infections can be transmissible before the infected shows any symptoms, if they present at all.

Personally, I don't feel that there are many population centers in the US that are prepared to do the kind of testing that seems like would be needed to properly identify the sick.

My understanding of the extant research is that SARS-CoV-2 jumped from bats to pangolins to humans in wet markets in China that sold "farmed" wildlife.

In short, yes. Wet, wildlife markets in China were the source of this outbreak.

I've had a similar experience at my job and I think it's actually both things.

On one side you have people that managed to claw their way through the boot camp but didn't actually pick up any of the skills; they memorized enough to get through instead of actually learning stuff. On the other side, you have people that did learn but aren't confident in their skills and so flub the interview when their confidence gives out.

I've watched the latter happen on more than one occasion and I really wish I knew how to handle it as an interviewer.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

My mom has a similar saying: "People enter your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime." The idea is the same: you should cherish the relationships you have - while you have them - and let them go when they're over.

NGL, I'm not really sure why this is such a big deal. i understand it being done without the owners' express consent - that would piss me off too - but Yelp is just trying to help. I'd totally understand a "well, thanks, I guess, but what the fuck?" attitude than the vitriol the person at the end seems to be spouting.

Am I just missing something? Why wouldn't these businesses want people to help them out in this? Is it just the lack of notification and consent gathering?

WRT 2FA, my problem is more in using it than managing the available options. As I mentioned, mine is constantly misbehaving and, without any action on my part, hasn't requested any of my configured 2FA options in, now, multiple days. I'm guessing I must have somehow changed the "don't ask me in" dropdown without meaning to.

WRT sharing, I can agree with that. LastPass's sharing isn't as robust, though I don't recall ever using share links. I don't like that Keeper doesn't tell you what record you just received, though. I already have many dozens of records and it can be difficult for me to find new ones that have been shared with me.

I've never had an issue with data replication on LastPass and haven't needed it with Keeper (I only have it on one machine, anyways).

I can't speak to the Admin UI's of either, though. I've never used them in an org setting. The closest I've come to that is the family account I manage via LastPass, which I imagine isn't the same as what you'd get with a full enterprise account.

All that aside, I'm glad that it's been working well for you and your org. I'm sure Keeper is fine (particularly on Windows or Mac) and that my experience is atypical, but it's still my experience with the thing. Unfortunately, I hate it.

You're still centralizing a power. It would probably be better to have some rule that's based on quorum and consensus than specifically elected people. E.g. at least some percentage (say 60%) of active contributors must weigh in and some percentage of those (perhaps a simple majority) must agree that a violation took place.

Granted, that's still open to abuse if the quorum requirements are small enough (how small would depend on the quantity of abusers), but I feel it's more in spirit than centralizing the power into a sub-group.

I will further grant that it's likely that, in any group, only a subset will care enough about these things to police them, so the point may be moot.

I use Keeper at my current job and find it to be a horrendously bad UX.

Off the top of my head:

1) The browser plugin is horribly written and has cause me numerous problems (Linux latop, YMMV), mostly related to performance and memory usage (both very bad).

2) Horrible 2FA management. You can configure Keeper to not ask you for your 2FA on a device for an hour, 30 days, or never again (iirc) and sometimes it'll just stop asking (like it did for me just now) or switch to a different 2FA for no obvious reason (I have both a security key and OTP).

3) Personal Opinion: I hate the layout of the "vault" and the browser extension's windows. I find all of them to be clunky and hard to use.

On the plus side, I do like how the actual records work. Most fields are optional and they have a decent custom field system. So, you can store pretty much anything in a reasonable way (from database credentials to PII, if you're into that).

That may have actually been (slightly?) intentional. When talking about our Sun in the greater context of stars, I've often seen it referred to as "Sol". The best immediate example I have are games like Stellaris or Elite: Dangerous which refer to our home system as the "Sol System" and our star as "Sol", but I recall hearing it in non-sci-fi contexts as well.

I'm not really sure how the etymology works out on all of that, though.

View numbers were the revenue model. Eyeballs make money for advertisers. The more eyeballs, the more money.

You know, the back button works in Google Maps and does exactly what you might think it does: take you back to the state you were just in.

After you accidentally lost your route, you could have just used a built in feature of your browser to get yourself back to where you were.

EDIT: The rest of your post was entirely accurate. Google Maps is a slow, stuttery mess on literally every platform I've ever used it on recently. At least the back button works...

In all 25 years I've used computers, I can't recall having a PC that took more than a minute to POST. Ever. My current PC's fast boot is fast enough that it looks like the computer turns on and goes straight to Windows.

Maybe I've just gotten really lucky...

Personally, I think the idea of completely cutting off from social media isn't something that most people can (or even should) do. Rather, it's important to moderate your interaction with it.

For example, while I've excised most social media from my life, I find Reddit to be generally positive so I keep it. Facebook, Twitter, etc. not so much, so I hardly go there. Now, am I missing out on things? Of course, but I've decided that, for me, those things aren't important enough to deal with the rest of what comes with them (privacy concerns wrt Facebook, for example).

I also forbid social media on my phone - which can go a long way to breaking cycle of swiping/scrolling. I generally forbid myself from going on Reddit while at work, restricting myself to only Hacker News.

For you, that calculus may be different. Maybe most of your friend group interacts via Facebook and that's what they're most comfortable with. In your case, it may be best to stick with Facebook to keep your social circle intact. You just have to moderate your usage. For example, maybe all you really need is Facebook Messenger, so you never actually have to go on Facebook proper. Avoid the parts that drag you down while keeping the parts that maintain your sanity. Maybe only have messenger on your phone so you're not tempted to go to the Facebook site.

It's not easy, which is why a lot of people (myself included) choose to simply throw them away; it's not worth the trouble for us, but it may be for you.
