An integration test is a type of software test that makes sure different parts of a system work properly together.
So HBO has some integration tests that make sure their system can send email properly. The way it does this is by sending some test emails to a test email list.
Except somehow, someone made a mistake today and the test email got sent to the real email list of all the subscribers.
It's funny, I usually have the opposite experience. I try to use DDG as much as possible for ideological reasons, but I find myself coming back to Google search most of the time because I get better results.
Not sure about anyone else, but I lose my sense of smell regularly when I get a cold. (Not due to being stuffed up -- even when I inhale through my nose I smell nothing.)
Does this not happen to most people with regular colds?
For at least the past 5-10 years, I've noticed that whenever I get more than a very mild cold, I completely lose my sense of smell for a few days. (I'm talking 100% loss, like holding bananas under my nose and inhaling and smelling nothing.)
I thought that was normal, but everyone making such a big deal out of the loss of smell makes me wonder if I'm unusual for experiencing it with regular colds.
Why do you only care about the lifestyles of people living in developed countries?
Also, even if we decide that we don't care about 4/5 of the world, increased flooding and wildfires are already affecting hundreds of thousands of people each year in North America.
> Being a driver isn't predicated on mistakenly calculating your odds of winning big
Not exactly, but there are parallels. Most drivers don't take into account the costs of wear and tear on their cars, which can be significant, and Uber isn't transparent about how drivers should anticipate those costs. So part of your wages as a driver are essentially borrowing against the future value of your car. And it can take years before the wear and tear becomes apparent, so many current drivers may not have run up against that reality yet.
A couple of years ago, the Quebec government introduced additional restrictions on ridesharing companies. Uber got up on their soapbox and said they were pulling out of Quebec. The government called their bluff and basically said "Okay, bye" and Uber backpedaled. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens here.
It sounds like the main issue you're addressing is that mortgages need to keep getting paid. New York City suspended mortgage payments however, so how were they able to do that without causing all the problems you're describing?
Most of the people for whom $700/month for health insurance is unattainable are not spending $700/month on car payments. There's bound to be some overlap, sure, but let's keep the focus on the fact that expecting everyone to pay $700/month in order to not go bankrupt from health expenses is insane.
It's possible they're exaggerating to get a good sound bite to get people on their side -- "medical information" could refer to health insurance enrollment forms, and "financial records" could refer to paystubs or benefits information.
They lose their status when the school goes online, since they are not currently enrolled in in-person classes. They will probably have to apply to reinstate their status in order to return.
Even if those applications are likely to be accepted, dealing with immigration bureaucracy is an absolute nightmare and anyone who is even slightly an edge case is gonna go through hell.
