A biopsy is not necessarily the entire tumor:

To state it differently, a small chunk of the tumor can be removed and then examined to see how best to treat the remainder of the tumor. Taking a biopsy can be done in a much less invasive manner than excising the entire tumor.

Yes. They have not necessarily removed the entire tumor. This could be useful in examining a biopsy to see how to treat what's left.

FiveThiryEight is an ESPN site now... has been for over two years.

Raleigh, NC, uses SeeClickFix, supposedly.

One road issue I entered (with a picture) was just ignored until it aged out of the system. They're doing a city wide resurfacing program to address multiple road issues, but it would have been nice to get that response instead of Jack Squat.

I put another request in for tree servicing (as required by law) and nothing happened on it for three months. I finally called the city directly and the issue was taken care of within two days. Again, it would have been nice to be told "hey you need to call so-and-so" instead of having to hunt that down myself, since (I think) they advertised this application as the way to submit issues to them.

Someone has to be monitoring these apps or they are just useless to the citizens. They are, however, useful for a limited time to the City Council since people can vent into the void (the app), but that only works until people realize the app requests are ignored.

The person who runs that Twitter account is a guy named Jake Beckman.

I guess I saved you a Google search.

Use OpenVPN in TCP mode (rather than it's default UDP mode).

Then set up local ssh port forwards through a bounce host you know works well.

Instead of going from Peru --> UK instead go from Peru --> Localhost --> SSH bounce host in Germany --> UK.

Or try an onion network like Tor.

Cancer is a tough disease and, sometimes, the treatments are rougher on the patient than the cure. Chemotherapy impairs your ability to think coherently. You're like the dog in the movie "Up!" ('Next quarter we'll release the Uber Widget to prepare out markets for... SQUIRREL!!!'), I don't know if Steve Jobs availed himself of chemotherapy toward the end, but you can rest assured that he laid out his vision for the management team before he shuffled off this mortal coil; he was too much of a control freak (in the great sense) not to.

I worked at Apple as a contractor and as an employee for thirteen years, and it was--hands-down--THE BEST at administering diversity. And I say that as one of the few black people who worked there. The top-to-bottom attitude that over-arched everything was that if you're not thinking about our customers, you aren't doing your job. Management decided that it wanted a diverse, welcoming, vibrant workplace and put policies in place that made the goal attainable. If you were there, it was because you had something to contribute and sexuality, gender, race, religion, and physical or emotional challenges were secondary to your ability to get the job done the way Apple's customers expected it to be done. The policy was enforced strictly. Orientation and performance review targets reinforced the culture. As with the secrecy policy after Steve Jobs's return, all an employee had to do was stick with the guidelines, and they could expect an exciting, fulfilling experience.

That's not to say that things at Apple were perfect. One manager decided to release a pictorial chart of his organization. His diversity problems were apparent to everyone but him. Workplace romances are not unheard of. Still, the things I learned from the experience of working at Apple have stood me in good stead.

  Your co-worker as a fellow human being ALWAYS comes first;
  If you're thinking about anything other than doing your job while you're at work, you might be setting yourself up for a fall;
  Don't do anything that might distract your co-workers from achieving their goals and objectives.

How many of these yahoo accounts were the contact address for a LinkedIn account and used the same password?

Since your major partition is HFS+, I recommend DiskWarrior (http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/). I've used it professionally for over ten years, and it still does the best job at finding, fixing, and reporting corrupted files on HFS disks.

"Hi Mr. X, we'd like to pay you 25% more to come work for us if you're a good fit for the team."

I love my job and the people I work with, but if Google called with that offer, I would listen. I would be stupid to not listen and at least give my boss the opportunity to make a counter-offer.
