During COVID I considered moving away from SF but decided to stay. I couldn't find another place that works better for me.

Less liability?

People are still buying Teslas?

> All Castro did was overthrow Batisa, another US ally, and nationalize Cuban assets.

That's not all. Castro also executed thousands creating a terror regime, nationalized American assets, funded and aided guerrillas in Latin America and Africa, aligned himself with the Soviet Union and caused the Missiles Crisis. He replaced a brutal dictatorship with another brutal dictatorship, a communist one, and ran the Cuban economy into the ground.

It was a setup

The problem is that anchovies are so delicious that's easy to eat tons of them in one sitting. Pair that with a lot of beer and that could pave the way to gout town.

I used saffron mainly for paella and some seafood dishes. The flavor is definitely distinctive although subtle.

Can you post the doc?

Antifragile by Nassim Taleb. Good stuff about randomness and how to benefit from it.

I have been using Fi for more than 5 years now. It has worked pretty well domestically and roaming in many countries (except North Macedonia in 2016). When roaming internationally there could be speed limits but in general it is pretty good.

In some markets, e.g. San Francisco, it does not make financial sense to buy and renting is a better option.

Maybe he has twitted worse things before but the ban has to be evaluated in context. Which is worse, lighting a bonfire on a dessert dune or lighting a match on top of a powder keg?

>If you're eating fat with the protein (and no carbohydrates), you aren't going to avoid ketosis

Actually, you would have to restrict your protein intake to small amounts to be in ketosis. It is very easy to get out of ketosis by eating a bit too much protein because it gets metabolized into glucose.

They have been attacking the rudders of sailboats.

I acquired my citizenship through the Automatic Acquisition of Citizenship after Birth (INA 320), less than 18yo, living in the US with my American father. That was about 8 years ago. At that time I only requested and obtained my passport and that's the only proof I have of citizenship. Do I need to also obtain a certificate of citizenship? If so, would my American passport suffice to prove my citizenship when requesting the certificate of citizenship?

The WHO already restarted studies involving hydroxychloroquine.

>> Who is liable for their denial of treatment?

Doctors base their treatments on the best information they have at hand. In many cases, that information turns out to be faulty.

This retraction does not mean the HCQ works against COVID-19, only that this particular study is no proof that it does not work.

I wouldn't recommend any of these either. They are rich in fructose.

The Castros are the main responsible for the dire economic situation of Cuba. Regardless of all the international relationship mistakes he made, Fidel Castro stands as one of the most economic incompetent of all communist dictators, with the notable exception of the ones in North Korea. Despite the embargo which affects mainly the commerce with the US, Cuba has always had commercial relations with many countries that were largely unaffected by the embargo. He basically had the whole country under his control. Think about a CEO of a very diversified industrial and agricultural conglomerate. He managed to screw it all and there was no other reason than his incompetence.

You are just a victim of propaganda. Cuba had decent education and decent healthcare system by third world standards but the Cuban economy wasn't able to support either of them and everything came tumbling down when the soviet money stopped flowing in.

It would be also very interesting to know from where you get that figure that more than 50% of the population support the Castros as that data is famously unavailable.

First of all, Fidel Castro had the support of most of the Cuban population. Everybody opposed the old brutal dictatorship. Second, Batista regime did not have the support of the US. Quite the opposite, there was an arms embargo against it.

Yes, he missed the base case for recursion.

Also, the first definition of symmetric tree is wrong. One more appropriate would say that the left branch is the mirror image of the right branch.

I've had a similar experience. I researched that and found that in those conditions having a fasting glucose that is higher than the "normal" range is not a problem, just an adaptation. I had HbA1C done several times and the results came back perfect.

Oh, the naiveté!

I doubt anybody in their right mind and with enough information about Cuba could actually think that the Cuban government could be subverted by a social network. The government controls all communication in Cuba and they listen to it ... all the time! The minute something smells a little anti-government, it gets shut down immediately and people go to prison and are made an example on national TV.

It really does not matter where the money came from to create this network. At the end the Cuban government controlled it and there was no way it could be used for subversion. I really doubt that was the original intention of the project.

The other interesting point is this:

"... the 2009 arrest in Cuba of American contractor Alan Gross. He was imprisoned after traveling repeatedly to the country on a separate, clandestine USAID mission to expand Internet access using sensitive technology that only governments use."

This is a disguised exaggeration. The equipment Alan Gross brought to Cuba was completely normal (radios, blackberries, routers, etc) with the only alleged exception of some protection against geo-location for satellite phones.

I have to suspect the article for its bias towards Cuban propaganda.

Warren Buffet likes to argue that he does not make risky investments. With that in mind and under the light of how profits are made by the financial sector, it is pretty clear that when they make risky investments it is mostly with the client's money. The rest is just friction, like a toll booth.

I find it funny that when I had to switch to C++ I found it slow compared to C and Object-Oriented Pascal.

There are also some tradeoffs when switching languages. Some people would never make the move from C to C++ citing unnecessary complexity (e.g. Linus Torvald).

This is essentially a question of having the right tool for the job. Switching from C++ to Go is probably a good decision some cases and a bad one in others. But one should not remain so anchored in one language that won't be able to consider some other, probably better, option.

Everything related to medical devices is very capital intensive. From regulation compliance, to quality procedures, to patents and licensing, you need a lot of specialized people working for years to bring a product to market.

The problem with that is that buying health care is far more complex than many other purchases. Now doctors simply will not provide an estimate for their services, and when you visit the doctor you don't know what kind of procedure they will have to perform on you at the visit.

In my view the system is so screwed up that will end up socialized pretty soon.

A flat tax, like a fix x-precent of income tax, hurts more the poor than the rich. That is why the are called "regressive".
