Uber’s gonna start testing people.

share economy corona testing.

hell yeah

Uber's style would be to allow users to pay an extra $1 to guarantee a roni-free driver, and simply pocket the cash without doing any testing on their drivers.

the working poor have been towed outside the economy

there's nothing out there but unpaid rent and student debt and 20,000,000 barrels of saudi-dumped crude oil. and the coronavirus

Not bad for a little virus.

I'll be interested in their update when they vary temp/humidity away from 22C and 65% relative humidity.

Also how long it remains viable in UV light.

Tattooed a lady last night who works for a company that is being used by all these universities for the teleconferencing class teaching they're all planning on doing. The largest and most obvious elephant in the room? The fact that most of the professors are dead rear end old boomers who can't understand anything about computers and are being expected to teach classes through all this tech in two weeks.

If they're dead rear end old boomers then the last thing they need to be worried about is how to set up a Microsoft Windows Folder

Like, I work in aerospace. This industry is going to get reamed. I have worked in software this whole time (7 years) but always among other aerospace people and only now do they give a crap about software design. My style of coding has always been "follow what the previous guy has been doing" which has worked so far but all of a sudden I am asked to fix other people's code because they don't want to talk to that person. I don't get a lot of guidance other than "you can do better than this". I don't know anything else. My entire academic life and career I have cargo culted. I hate this industry. I don't even like planes. I was forced to keep going by my parents. I don't do personal projects because I am too tired when I get home and have zero ideas. And even if I had I have no one to review them. I was under the impression that jobs would train me to be better at what I do. Instead I have to do everything myself, no one cares about my results until they suddenly do, and every question I ask makes me look worse. If I lose this job, I'll never work again. I'm hosed.

Dude I am you just in oil and gas.

Like everyday I feel like I’m a fraud, but 8 years in and I’m still there. I’m also kind of freaking out out the coming downturn and that I maybe looking for another job.

Most of my older colleagues have been through multiple down turns In the industry. I figure all end up like them where I just change which oil and gas company I work for every now and then. Once your in it seems like your in, and I suspect the aerospace industry is similar.

the way blood banks test for disease is by pooling lots of samples and running one test

you won't get your individual result
