The CDC has released an article titled "COVID-19 Outbreak Associated with Air Conditioning in Restaurant, Guangzhou, China, 2020"

It sounds like, where you live, the municipality doesn't have an incentive to not inform you of late or owed taxes. The issue is that the government in this case has every reason to not inform the property owner of late taxes owed.

Sorry, looking for context, where is this quote from? Not finding it in the article.

When I moonlight, I charge what would amount to overtime pay, because to me its overtime.

This is great news, although I feel I want to keep studying for the Extra for the ham cred that comes with it ;)

I've been a ham radio operator in the US for a couple years now, and its a really interesting hobby that will put you on contact with very smart inviting people. Its a great way to learn more about electricity too.

To experiment in radio on certain frequencies (like the ones needed to talk to satellites, requires a license from your nation's government, as radio frequencies are a shared resource. Certain levels of licensing is for 'amateurs' and other licenses are for more industrial things, like TV and what is commonly referred to as FM or AM radio.

Communication with satellites in the US requires the highest level of amateur licensing called the Extra.

I used to be so afraid of flying that I would cry and hold strangers hands on planes without any prompting. It was out of control. It started really slowly though. I was able to fly when I was younger, but nervousness started to take over and eventually, like you, a bout of turbulence made me even more anxious.

I told my doctor about my week long anxiety before flying and how I would cry on strangers randomly throughout a flight convinced they were the last person I would ever meet. He prescribed Xanax and suggested therapy. The drugs helped me keep to myself, but what helped the most was watching planes take off and land at SFO.

I was flying to SFO for work and staying at a hotel nearby, so I would sit and watch planes take off and land. Every time I heard the engines speed up for take off, I would get nervous (and feel myself getting nervous writing this), but after a while, it got to where I could distract myself from the fear when on the plane.

When I wasn't in SFO, I would listen to air traffic control (smooth calming pilot voices!) on my ham radio as prep for an upcoming flight.

Also therapy is amazing for helping me work through various other anxieties.

Good luck! Its not impossible and you are on the right track through looking into statistics and trying to give yourself something concrete and rational to think about.

Mind being more specific about where in Lower Manhattan you are referring? Lower Manhattan is quite a large space in regards to differing cultures, that further clarification would be helpful.

I wonder how projects like Electron are figuring into the interest that Microsoft has in GitHub. How would Microsoft move forward with such a project if they bought GitHub? Would its continue to be based on Chromium? Would future versions of Office follow VSCode and be build as Electron apps?

With the lines at NYC museums, making a short one hour visit is almost impossible. To be able to make a donation less that $25 suggested fee, one has to stand in those lines. People that make the short visits tend to pay for a membership that allow them to bypass the line.

BTW, seems this was put on hold: http://fortune.com/2018/04/19/harriet-tubman-20-dollar-bill-...

This used to happen to me when flying, but years of therapy and xanax has paid off. I used to cry on strangers on planes, and now I can fly without medication. I know you tried some things, but perhaps consider therapy.

Why the need for a quantum leap? Evolution has worked okay for its little steps.

In my time working for financial firms (~4 years), I can tell you that there are a lot of proprietary applications being developed with web technologies.

I've met some pretty overworked Goldman analysts, and they made over 200k a year barely two years out of college. Its definitely the money.

It was an old church. The chuch allowed the Citicorp building to be built around it, which ended up being above it.

EDIT: spelling

Is remote work a viable option?

Peterson sells some good kits for beginners and they are a bit more comfortable to use than the Southord ones mentioned above:

Of course, its up to personal preference, they are both great brands.

https://github.com/bfontaine/term2048 is a good one ;)

There could also be a group of people that just found out about this issue, just started caring and are wondering how they can start to help.

Please provide link to the news you are referring to would be helpful.

yes please

You could see 911 calls as a feature. What if you are knocked unconscious and your kid has to dial 911? the new 'remote' could be a bonus emergency phone.

I'm getting a map centered in Brooklyn. I'm in Midtown Manhattan... so, maybe its trying to find our location?

Are you close to Topeka?

It has always struck me as odd that Amazon shows me ads for things I had searched for and didn't buy as though I didn't already know about those products. Seems they should perhaps show me what other people bought that searched for similar or the same products as myself.

There is a lot of variety in humans at all times, and not all of the traits that comprise this variety have been at a large enough advantage to become the norm. Since psychopaths are not the norm (as far as we know) it probably means there has not been a point in our evolution in which this trait was an advantage enough to propagate.

Isn't it more convenient to use something like Pocket for this?
