Re:Why Asians wear surgical masks in public (2014)

Some anecdotal experience: I travel to Asia for vacations and majority of the time, I catch a minor cold. The endless coughing and runny nose can really sap my energy. A friend suggested wearing a mask. Once I did, the air I was breathing became warmer and my throat and lungs felt less dry. It really helped a lot. I was glad there were so many others around me wearing masks so I didn’t stand out at all.

Agree! I was surprised to see that in the con column. What possible benefit is there for differing programming styles in a team?

Assemblies and associations with names like "Nazi uber" and "Hate van"? No thanks. Shut it down.

I have yet to see a good clean solution. I was fairly new to auth and node when I was given a similar task. Ended up doing a ton of research and I felt I was making decisions I should not have had to make. I recall the tutorials that the article mentions. I was not impressed with the end result.

Which do you trust more? The decisions of a government, or the laws of mathematics?

I don't find it heavy, just that the UI is not pleasant. From the icon, to the splash screen, to the many extraneous menu items and buttons. I find it painful to use, but there doesnt seem to be a good alternative. I guess that means I should create one.

Identity theft would be my biggest concern.

For jobs that take longer than Lambda will allow, I use Datapipeline to run a ShellCommandActivity, which can run a bash script on an EC2 instance.
