Personally, I don't feel that there are many population centers in the US that are prepared to do the kind of testing that seems like would be needed to properly identify the sick.

In short, yes. Wet, wildlife markets in China were the source of this outbreak.

I recall some calculations that showed a decrease in latency over long distances because light travels slightly faster in a vacuum, there are fewer intermediate nodes over that distance, and a more direct path can be used than in our existing wired networks.

The biggest issue with current satellite connections is that the satellites are in geostationary orbits which imposes a minimum theoretical latency of something like half a second. It's physically impossible to send signals any faster[2].

On one side you have people that managed to claw their way through the boot camp but didn't actually pick up any of the skills; they memorized enough to get through instead of actually learning stuff. On the other side, you have people that did learn but aren't confident in their skills and so flub the interview when their confidence gives out.

I've watched the latter happen on more than one occasion and I really wish I knew how to handle it as an interviewer.

Am I just missing something? Why wouldn't these businesses want people to help them out in this? Is it just the lack of notification and consent gathering?

WRT sharing, I can agree with that. LastPass's sharing isn't as robust, though I don't recall ever using share links. I don't like that Keeper doesn't tell you what record you just received, though. I already have many dozens of records and it can be difficult for me to find new ones that have been shared with me.

I've never had an issue with data replication on LastPass and haven't needed it with Keeper (I only have it on one machine, anyways).

I can't speak to the Admin UI's of either, though. I've never used them in an org setting. The closest I've come to that is the family account I manage via LastPass, which I imagine isn't the same as what you'd get with a full enterprise account.

All that aside, I'm glad that it's been working well for you and your org. I'm sure Keeper is fine (particularly on Windows or Mac) and that my experience is atypical, but it's still my experience with the thing. Unfortunately, I hate it.

Granted, that's still open to abuse if the quorum requirements are small enough (how small would depend on the quantity of abusers), but I feel it's more in spirit than centralizing the power into a sub-group.

I will further grant that it's likely that, in any group, only a subset will care enough about these things to police them, so the point may be moot.

Off the top of my head:

1) The browser plugin is horribly written and has cause me numerous problems (Linux latop, YMMV), mostly related to performance and memory usage (both very bad).

2) Horrible 2FA management. You can configure Keeper to not ask you for your 2FA on a device for an hour, 30 days, or never again (iirc) and sometimes it'll just stop asking (like it did for me just now) or switch to a different 2FA for no obvious reason (I have both a security key and OTP).

3) Personal Opinion: I hate the layout of the "vault" and the browser extension's windows. I find all of them to be clunky and hard to use.

On the plus side, I do like how the actual records work. Most fields are optional and they have a decent custom field system. So, you can store pretty much anything in a reasonable way (from database credentials to PII, if you're into that).

I'm not really sure how the etymology works out on all of that, though.

After you accidentally lost your route, you could have just used a built in feature of your browser to get yourself back to where you were.

EDIT: The rest of your post was entirely accurate. Google Maps is a slow, stuttery mess on literally every platform I've ever used it on recently. At least the back button works...

Maybe I've just gotten really lucky...

For example, while I've excised most social media from my life, I find Reddit to be generally positive so I keep it. Facebook, Twitter, etc. not so much, so I hardly go there. Now, am I missing out on things? Of course, but I've decided that, for me, those things aren't important enough to deal with the rest of what comes with them (privacy concerns wrt Facebook, for example).

I also forbid social media on my phone - which can go a long way to breaking cycle of swiping/scrolling. I generally forbid myself from going on Reddit while at work, restricting myself to only Hacker News.

For you, that calculus may be different. Maybe most of your friend group interacts via Facebook and that's what they're most comfortable with. In your case, it may be best to stick with Facebook to keep your social circle intact. You just have to moderate your usage. For example, maybe all you really need is Facebook Messenger, so you never actually have to go on Facebook proper. Avoid the parts that drag you down while keeping the parts that maintain your sanity. Maybe only have messenger on your phone so you're not tempted to go to the Facebook site.

It's not easy, which is why a lot of people (myself included) choose to simply throw them away; it's not worth the trouble for us, but it may be for you.

The product my current employer is working on suffers immensely from a lack of central leadership to the point where each of the pieces of the application have different (and sometimes contradictory!) ideas of what the world looks like.

It's absolutely maddening.
