The length of the password is 14.

  function randomPassword() {
    let letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    let digits = '0123456789';
    let punctuation = '!"#$%&\'()\*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~';
    let s = letters.repeat(7) + digits.repeat(4) + punctuation.repeat(3);
    let length = 14;
    let res = Array.from({length}, (() => s[randomInt(s.length)])).join('');
    debugger; // どうぞ
    return res;
  }

This has only been true for about the past 50 years, when vitamin B12 was synthesized. There's no plant source for the vitamin. And I'm not even sure the vegans call a vegan diet "easy".

"beg the question" does not have a literal meaning. It makes no sense unless you're so used to hearing it used that way.

Ycombinator is not in the UK.
It sure confused me.
No, fast food is actually just disgusting lab-made pseudo-food, if you’re accustomed to fresh, whole, real food.

I loved fast food growing up, but after a couple year stint eating only fresh foods, I went back and literally couldn’t stomach it anymore. It tastes good going down. (At the time) I had no conditioning or preconceived beliefs that it was disgusting, but within an hour my stomach felt queasy and I threw it up. After half a dozen times experiencing that, I gave up on fast food entirely.

I imagine he's referring to the Doomsday Argument (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_argument). It's popular in certain circles but controversial.
HIPAA only applies to healthcare providers and a couple related industries. Facebook is not there (yet).

Yea, goes without saying -- or if you have a waterproof case.

But if you don't have either of those, you shouldn't be using your phone in a non-sterile environment.
