... or go to one of the 49 other states.

I'm confused by your post and that of another responder, what about his articulate response wasn't enough of a definition for you? What about the lead-up and follow-up from Senator Patty Murray? I interpreted his answer as being one that encouraged a slow-roll back to normality that met Murray's question head-on.

"...a guideline framework of how to safely open America again and there are several checkpoints in that... depending on the dynamics of an outbreak in a city or area which would determine the speed and the pace with which one re-enters or re-opens... {talks about going by guidelines and checkpoints which have been very well thought out and delineated}..." - so prematurely is before they meet the official checkpoints. To which Sen. Murray brought up the commitment to meet their testing goals for May and June, then referenced the strategic plan, etc.. Following that was a discussion on improving the supply chain for testing & PPE "as we progressively open".

Based on listening to the entire testimony and all parties therein, it sounds like the opening is based on the number of cases in an area, which also hinges on the availability of testing materials, and that there isn't a specific date but rather a process that's late out in the aforementioned guideline. Dr. Fauci has clearly said in the past that rural areas with a sparse population can open up sooner than dense areas of concern, like Detroit, for example.

Anyone in tech knows it's Google's best kept secret that they're taking hand over fist money from scammers advertising fake services at the top of the search results, a problem they keep swearing they knew nothing about. This just makes it easier to confuse older people. I can't tell you how many times I've had to help someone who thought they were calling Microsoft support, D-Link support, etc., but they instead called scammers, gave a credit card number, and paid $400 to have their router or Windows 'fixed'.

At least before there was a separation of ads and normal results, now it's all in one straight, bubbly, ugly list.

Semantic [sic] released 'another broken version' of their software 3 years ago which broke a Chrome version released this week? *blank stare emoji*

... it's too bad tho users who feedbacked the beta version of Chrome for having this bug didn't go back in time to stop 'Semantic'!

No idea why you were modded down for stating the obvious, which is the first place my mind went for other alternatively obvious reasons - a pro union person at a tech company is undoubtedly one of the laziest sacks in the office and most likely fired for being a lazy sack, which is undoubtedly at the heart of their need to unionize.

If you actually want to get legitimately techy, tell me why an apostrophe on an iPad turns into a with an accent circonflexe that's trademarked...?!

Seriously, thereâ(TM)s nothing tech or nerdy about this post. And theyâ(TM)re part time workers, big deal.

So some anonymous misogynists threatened to kill me. Click these links to learn more!

Prior to release, concerning the game's backlash re: historical accuracy with so much inclusivity, from Wikipedia, "EA chief creative officer Patrick SÃderlund said the developer was uninterested in taking flak for diversifying the gaming space. "We stand up for the cause, because I think those people who don't understand it, well, you have two choices: either accept it or don't buy the game," he said."

From this Slashdot post's summary at the end, "It seems that with Battlefield 5, EA -- not a company known for listening to its customers -- finally hit a brick wall, in the form of many Battlefield fans simply not buying or playing Battlefield 5."

... maybe now EA will start listening?

I feel the biggest mistakes the media companies make is they don't realize that the small groups they're catering to are the most toxic people around, a group who condescend on their arrogant high horse towards (former) fans that outnumber them yet they reduce that larger group to a small handful because they perceive this noisy bunch as the actual fan base.

"I'm sorry but this doesn't seem realistic..."
- "STFU you're playing a video game you racist homophobe, of course it's not realistic. Clearly this game isn't for you!"
"... yea, I guess you're right". I've literally seen this play out on various forums.

Moving forward this toxicity is attributed to the brand and people will reject it for something else. Half the 'hate' directed at Ghostbusters had to do with the production team, the actors, and the minority of SJWs who directed vitriol at the actual fans of Ghostbusters. I loved the original Ghostbusters back in the 80's when I saw them both in theatres (even that second stinker), but the latest one I wouldn't even bother with on Netflix because of all that negativity. For better or for worse, the brand is soiled.

Yea, I clicked on the comments to write something along the same lines 'cause I pretty much only use cash for purchases and I've never had any issues anywhere in Canada, US, or Europe in my travels. At the start of every week I put $100 in my wallet or refresh it if it's low which keeps me in line at the grocers and all that.

At the end you wrote, "Unlike Amazon, Google did not pursue tax breaks or other incentives from New York."; Why? Amazon brought 25,000 employees to New York with a $5 billion dollar investment while Google br... no, wait, Google already has 7,000 employees in New York and said they'll double the headcount over the next 10 years. So, considering that the scenarios are not the same, why the comparison?

I hit Pause or 'Freeze' to literally pause or freeze the video that's playing, not to have it stop playing what I was watching to start playing something else. Either I want quiet to talk to whoever just walked into the room or is shouting at me from another room, or maybe the phone is ringing and I need to take a call, or maybe I want to freeze frame what I'm looking at to admire the greatest rack I've seen in a long time. Sometimes I just want things to stop to focus on something else with no distraction, maybe a game I'm playing on a tablet, who knows. Whatever the case may be, Hulu and AT&T have decided to undermine a classic viewing function and replace it with their profits and that doesn't sit well with me at all.

Wrong on all counts. The Mac Mini 2018 hasn't changed the chassis size since 2014 and measures in at 19.7cm wide while the Intel NUC is only 11cm wide. Common Intel NUC's, including mine, come stock with an Intel 760p NVMe SSD. Show me a single benchmark speed test that tests both drives with the same testing software with the same parameters. Hint: You won't find any because they haven't been done yet, all we know is it has a Toshiba SSD but what brand? If it's the XG5 the I/O will be similar to the Intel, slightly slower write and slightly slower read.

I get it, I see the name, you're an Apple fanboy.

An Intel NUC is smaller, faster, and the SSD is replaceable or upgradeable. I have one with a 1tb SATA SSD and a 256GB M.2 SSD.
