I was in the process of a job search while working at a foundering startup back in December. Interview processes were paused over the holidays and scheduled to resume in early January. Jan. 2, first day back at the old job, I was laid off. Had my final interview at another startup the following week and got an offer. Started end of January. We're all WFH for at least 2 weeks, and it's beginning to look like much longer than that. We've got connections to the retail sector, so I do wonder about that, but we have seen at least a short-term uptick in activity, presumably due to hoarding. Fingers crossed we all make it through this.

I read that as "Paid lunches"

The Lykov Family have been well-covered. VICE had a decent piece covering the sole remaining member: Agafia. Their speech did somewhat devolve, and children born out in the taiga had developed their own cooing pidgin that they spoke to each other, IIRC.

Insulin pumps (and their cannula; not a "needle") are installed 24/7. They can be "suspended" and the insulin delivery hose unhooked, but they are generally there, and active, at all times. Likewise, a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) will provide, as the name says, continuous monitoring. Both use adhesives to keep them attached and generally remain so, even while sleeping.

Hypoglycemia also may not lead to "waking". After all, a diabetic coma may result from low blood glucose, depending on how quickly it crashes.

"termidity"

What exactly does that mean?

WTF did I just read?

You're right, it's far far worse now.

why has the title been changed from "covers" (which is what they were) to "stamp" which is a less specific form of what they were? Why are we not just using the article title?

probably because that was such a needlessly snarky reply.

Welcome to capitalism.

Why on earth would someone use an expensive, patent-encumbered drug when there's regular Ketamine that can do the same thing?

I mean, it's a minor quibble, but ripoff would make sense. Usury does not, in any way. It's simply a misuse of usury.

> But from €9.6 to €185 is an increase of 1827% or 19.27 times more. To me that's usury.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

naming anonymous functions can provide some clarity in stack traces however

Ann is Carl's widow. McFarlane has championed his work and was big driver (and I believe financier) of the new Cosmos.

instead of a raspberry pi and all that entails, might I suggest a simple outlet timer

I am equally baffled by people's love of throwing money at cars. When I needed a "new" car two years ago, I asked my mechanic what sort of car they would want from a reliability/value standpoint. I was told Subarus or Toyotas not later than about 2007 were very nice. I spent 3 months watching used listings and wound up with a very low mileage 2006 Rav4 (for ~$10k) and it has been wonderful.

"The sound is a form of feedback. On modern laptop keyboards there is so little feedback that every bit counts. The sound is like a reassurance. It’s your computer telling you, yes, you did indeed hit that key."

Oh, feedback like say...

* a character appearing on the screen?

-or-

* the action you were attempting to effect happening

I have a few twee coworkers who insist on using these obnoxious things. Worse even than the physical keyboards, and their arguably beneficial tactile feedback, this is exclusively the worst attribute of these. Why would anyone who isn't basically cos-playing on a computer want this trash?

That would make sense if you could meaningfully recycle filters, like you can glass bottles. This would end up being a false economy subsidy more than likely. No thanks.

This is an oft-repeated falsehood. The majority of cryptos I have looked at (the big, non-pre-mined ones in particular) are not and will not be for many, many years. They are disinflationary. They experience inflation at a decreasing rate over time. Eventually, yes, they will become deflationary. Bitcoin will become deflationary on or before (effectively owing to "lost" coins) 2140, but until then the monetary supply increases. That is called: inflation.
