I agree on shifting the peak. I was mostly aiming to get other nerds creative about tiny habits that can help lowering R0. The slower it spreads, the lower the graph, the lesser the queue for breathing machines.
Behavior changes the R0 and the most powerful behavior alteration is through environment. So if we could set up an environment where you would less likely contract something even if you're being clumsy, that'd be the best.
Like an UV light room where you leave your stuff for half an hour to disinfect.
Or a bleach spray box :)
Or an Apple Watch app which would detect when you want to touch your face and vibrate. I guess I'd have to wear 2 Apple Watches then :)
I don't understand "Home country coverage" so maybe you could do some user testing to come up with better explanation.
Maybe a comparison to other insurances like Alianz Global Insurance. I have that and I'm not sure why yours would be better. I think it was about the same price looking at yearly cost.
Again, great web site.
They are not a school, they're a retreat where expert coders and beginners meet and work on self-directed cool stuff. Amazing community and brilliant founders. You only need to provide a place to stay for yourself.
I did that. It was a good.
Besides learning a new language which enabled me to launch my next start-up a month after Recurse Center program was done, I also met few amazing people and programmers that I consider good friends now.
"grandfathering" means if you'd design an airplane like 172 today they wouldn't meet the safety standards and you wouldn't be able to produce them, but since they were designed back in the days, if they don't change the design, they can still produce them.

I fly 172 regularly. It's a safe plane, but you have to know quite a bit about engine and how it works to be really safe up in the sky. I had engine failure on take-off with extremely well maintained plane. Starting the engine is a pain in the ass for most civilians who don't understand 4 stroke engines.
Cessna 172 uses about 10 gallons of fuel per hour. That's quite a lot. I think in 2017 there's better options out there.
+1 for Top Gun
And on the side note, I bet Facebook did this just to make nerds install OCaml and show them the light :)
If you're scared about your future so much that you want to read every TC article, learn every new hip language and attend every meet-up, just to stay on top of things, while selling your LOC to some company, you ARE a working class.
Go be an entrepreneur and start creating value.
2. we will. We have a quick demo, but please disregard voice quality on this one http://dubjoy.com/embed_test.html
When having to choose between a library written in JavaScript and a library written in CoffeeScript I choose the latter, because it statistically has a probability to be a better library, just because the coder didn't have a chance to use bad JavaScript practices, when writing it. Assuming I usually don't have time to read the code of the libraries I'm using.
