And the loss will be in the form of gravitational waves.
Argh is this real or not? Would energy radiated away as a result of inductance be analogous to energy radiated away by gravitational waves in the "water pressure analogy"?

>Zuckerberg said Facebook will monitor adherence by checking where employees access its VPN. Facebook also uses its own apps' to track employee locations, according to CNBC
So all I need to do paycheck arbitrage is to use a VPN with private residential IP (yes, that's a thing), and a rooted/jailbroken phone that does location spoofing?
You would also need to avoid any and every other way of revealing your location.

This is a pretty well-regarded answer, with motivation for why you should not cast [1].
Of course it's not something everyone agrees to, but at least a lot of people seem to.

Interesting. Not casting a void pointer return value seems like a bit of a shibboleth for the "C is not a subset of C++" community.

>> Don't think you're invulnerable, cause you're not. Don't think that if you get no or only mild symptoms, no harm is done.
Such statements were true a few months ago. Now 1 in 6 Londoners have had the disease. So those 1 in 6 know exactly how it will impact them because it already has. There are now more than a few people out there who can confidently say "I'll be fine" because they are fine. In coming days/months many people will be getting tests and learning that they have suffered and recovered from the disease at least once. Others will learn that they have been living with someone who has had the disease but it didn't spread even within the household. The days of shouting "you don't know, you might die" at every naysayer are behind us.
"With further statistical adjustments, they found about 17% of London adults had been infected; this compares to only 4.3% in the north-east of England."

It could impact them differently if they contract it again.

The broken system allowed him to be a dick.
OK, so the is more to it than that and he did have a genuine grievance (I forgot exactly what) bit in dealing with that he caused a pile collateral damage for innocent bystanders.
(Innocent bystanders who errantly put too much faith in dependency oriented programming which brings us back to the broken system)
> too much faith in dependency oriented programming
Which is why it's a distraction to even consider this particular person's track record.
Even if this same person pulled one critical package a month for the next year, the fundamental problem is still that the ecosystem in general relies on parties with no obligations to manage critical dependencies.
