Q: on friday, alice picked 10 kiwis. On saturday, alice picked 20 kiwis, On Sunday, Alice wished to pick double number of kiwis as from Friday.. How many kiwis does Alice have on Monday?

A:
Let's break it down:

Friday: Alice picked 10 kiwis.
Saturday: Alice picked 20 kiwis.
Sunday: Alice wanted to pick double the number of kiwis as she did on Friday, which is:
10×2=20kiwis
So, the total number of kiwis Alice has by Monday is:

10(Friday)+20(Saturday)+20(Sunday)=50kiwis
Therefore, Alice has 50 kiwis on Monday.

The crisis is really a self-inflicted wound. Two reasons: lots of hyper-specialized job descriptions, and ageism.
1. Hyper-specialization: As an example, there are lots of web developer positions, but you need:
        a. Know the specific tech stack. If you know AngularJS but they are looking for ReactJS, you may wind up at the bottom of the stack.
        b. The tech stack can be specific on multiple technologies. So they might need ReachJS + nodeJs + MySQL, and on particular versions.
2. Ageism: For this, you don't have to look at ageism against 50-60 year olds only. Some job descriptions are looking for a 20-30 years old with 5 years experience on the latest technology. That shrinks the possible candidates to the few that at the age of 18-22 were lucky enough to learn the technology that is in vogue now. Those companies are missing on gobs of other candidates that already learned different technologies and are ready to adapt as they always have.

The recruiters can complain about not finding candidates. I think it is their inflexible and unreasonable job requirements that get them in trouble.

Those companies that understand that software engineers can and will learn quickly anything they don't know, will be the ones that get ahead in the recruiting department.

Me four. If you think they are getting "special treatment", then my question is, would you trade places with them, since they are getting this "special" treatment?

The question is, will he get Netflix in prison?

Law enforcement should track down the REvil scammers and make them give back the money to the ransomware people who did all the hard work for infecting the victim's system. Not only is it a breach of contract, it damages the hard earned reputation of the ransomware leasee! What is the world come to.

I will give you my gas-powered leaf blower when you pry it from my dead, cold hands! (After I finish the last round of chemo for my lung cancer...)

Thanks much!

By scrubbing his skin every day, would Vincent Freeman have been able to evade Gattaca's DNA police? I initially thought no, but now I wonder.

In this case, who is on the hook for HIPAA violation? The hospital or the third party that safekeeps the HIPAA patient's data?

I looked at https://zoneminder.readthedocs... and it seems the default is not to have security enabled.

I think most of it comes from the washer, not the dryer.

Would be good to have a filter in the washer to catch those microplastics.

Eventually the roads will erode, releasing the plastics as microplastics. Just kicking the can down the road (so to speak).

Alternatives for plastics don't look good, but a few look better.
1. Used plastic -> recycle to new plastic. Result: $$$ for inferior plastic. Uneconomical so showstopper.
2. Used plastic -> burn as fuel. Result: $ with some nasty air pollutants. Somewhat economical from energy production, but awful health costs, so long term uneconomical.
3. Used plastic -> bury in landfill. Result: $ and sequesters carbon, but will eventually leak into water. Very economical, but high costs in long-term. Drinkable water will be/is the new oil.
4. Used plastic -> pyrolisis into diesel. Result: $$ and can replace new fossil fuel. Can burn cleaner than diesel from crude. Not as economical as diesel from crude, so might need government support to become economically competitive with crude based fuels.

My vote is for #4, pyrolisis into diesel.

"The energy consumption for .. pyrolysis .. 1.328 MJ/kg. The calorific value of the hydrocarbon products is about 42.3 MJ/kg... the plastic pyrolysis is an energy-efficient process... This technology can be applied to significantly reduce the conventional landfill or incineration of waste plastics. "

This got me thinking of different queuing situations in the RL, for example the long line of women that queue up outside the women's restroom. How does this parking app compare with one where a woman gets into a stall, stays there while she posts her spot in it, waits for the auctions to roll in and gives up her space to the winner? I think the similarities are striking.
