Are they paying SV rates with RSU though as FB and Google are definitely paying noticeably less overall as that was the point of the OP?
Won't it contribute to more variants in the future if it spreads? But maybe we are past that point with other variants?

to be a Telco at scale you need dedicated spectrum allocation which is seldom auctioned by the government at super high price so this is definitively what this is. it uses CBRS Spectrum which is dynamically allocated per site and the government can yank the CBRS spectrum you were temporary allocated at their discretion.
cross linking stops the progression but does not fix your vision. went through cornea transplant 20 years ago and it has been great since with a rather quick recovery. had a few episodes of rejection at the beginning but since I use Restasis, it never occurred again (coincidence or correlation? don't really want to know at this point). life expectancy of graft is about 30 years though I've been told... :( good luck
"la porte en arriere" or "la porte d'en arriere" sounds French-Canadian.
If it is the case it seems out of context to refer to this severance benefit as COBRA as it is my understanding this program has been specifically designed by Congress to force employers to offer the "opportunity" for the separated employees to get health insurance at full cost (without the employer subsidy).

Since the Affordable Care Act, it seems to be cheaper to forego COBRA benefit and enroll in one of the offered options. Lost of job let you do so outside of the official enrolment period.

Re:Hacking website like HN in French on Tuesday April 21, 2020 @05:09PM (#22939354)
A quick browse of the the first few pages suggest it is focused on the IT side of things.

So nothing yet to replace HN in our heart.

Re:US admits 'failing' on testing, says Fauci on Thursday March 12, 2020 @01:52PM (#22559634)
Not exactly a breakthrough as testing take 3-5 hours in other countries... and in the US.

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/were-behind-curve-us... Q: What's the turnaround time when you have a sample on hand? How long does it take to extract RNA from the sample, put it into a polymerase chain reaction machine, etc.?

A: About 2 to 3 hours to do the testing, but because the process requires us to batch samples, you can't really just test the sample as they come in. In order to conserve reagents and labor, you' wait until you have a certain bolus of samples and then test them together. So you do testing once or twice a day.

Re:Undervalued Engineering Skills: Writing Well on Friday May 31, 2019 @06:40PM (#20065719)
While almost never seen, some do. I've had to write a few pages narrative of a professional experience for a Lab126 (Amazon) interview.
Re:Linux System Call Table on Monday September 25, 2017 @03:56PM (#15333551)
Nice work. the table has been generated for 4.10 and hence the link to the source code files should also have this kernel version in the path of the url for direct access
