May bata na naka costume ng wolf

Biglang binaril tapos ni litson

Nung nakita ng tao na tao din yung wolf

Kinain pa din nila

Thought about this while thinking of Rizal, and the I don’t care 4 fatal shots while listening to the David Chang and CL podcast episode.

A Programmer’s Guide to Compliance Regulations – Simple Programmer

There are three components to HIPAA compliance: a privacy rule to protect consumers’ rights, a security rule to mandate how companies must protect consumers’ information, and enforcement rules that mandate consequences for noncompliance. To be compliant with this regulation, it’s important to get consent from the users if you are going to use their information for anything other than treatment, payment, or health care operations.

Work From Home: Tech Companies Cut Pay of Workers Moving Out of Big Cities – Bloomberg

This potential shift could have devastating consequences for extremely expensive places, but it could also spread wealth more evenly. Before the pandemic, “America had become less mobile than almost at any point in our history,” Kelman says. “No matter what the economic cost of being in San Francisco, people would pay it.” Having more remote workers means “wages in Texas are going up,” he says. So are housing prices. “You can’t have a $2 million, 2,000-square-foot house in San Francisco and a $200,000 house in Dallas that are basically the same for very long when there are airplanes and internet connections and Zoom.”

None of this makes the decisions employees have to make over the next several months any easier, especially for those who relocated in a hurry. Musiker, the Redfin communications director, has until May to figure out whether she’s staying in Rochester permanently and taking the pay cut. She’s still not sure—and the decision will depend partly on whether her husband is allowed to work remotely after the pandemic—but she’s more open to living upstate than she ever thought she’d be. “We were making a lot of sacrifices in Brooklyn,” Musiker says. In Rochester, “we get so much more for our money.”

rePost:Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Create a Kinder World | The New Yorker

I want to bring us back to the Willy Wonka comparison. In “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Wonka sets a competition with the secret aim of finding someone who has what it takes to replace him. I’m not suggesting that you’re looking for a replacement. But Nintendo existed long before you or I were born and will, I’m sure, exist long after both you and I are gone. What quality do you think Nintendo needs to protect in order to keep being Nintendo?

As the company has gained new competitors over the years, it’s given us an opportunity to think deeply about what makes Nintendo Nintendo. [President] Shuntaro Furukawa is currently in his forties, and [general manager] Shinya Takahashi is in his fifties; we are moving toward a position that will insure the spirit of Nintendo is passed down successfully. I am not concerned about that anymore. Now I’m focussing on the need to continue to find new experiences. This has always been what interested and excited me about the medium: not perfecting the old but discovering the new.

QOTD: 2020 12 16 Elizabeth Gilbert

A QUOTE TO THINK ABOUT

“Recognizing that people’s reactions don’t belong to you is the only sane way to create. If people enjoy what you’ve created, terrific. If people ignore what you’ve created, too bad. If people misunderstand what you’ve created, don’t sweat it. And what if people absolutely hate what you’ve created? What if people attack you with savage vitriol, and insult your intelligence, and malign your motives, and drag your good name through the mud? Just smile sweetly and suggest – as politely as you possibly can – that they go make their own fucking art. Then stubbornly continue making yours.”

— Elizabeth Gilbert

rePost:Donald Trump’s Legacy of Lies – The Atlantic

The second event came on November 3. For months Trump had tried frantically to destroy Americans’ trust in the election—the essence of the democratic system, the one lever of power that belongs undeniably to the people. His effort consisted of nonstop lies about the fraudulence of mail-in ballots. But the ballots flooded into election offices, and people lined up before dawn on the first day of early voting, and some of them waited 10 hours to vote, and by the end of Election Day, despite the soaring threat

I realized something while watching Discovery Episode 9 Season 3. The writers with one scene made the Admiral a good leader in my eyes. Good writing.

But it started me pondering why I can’t seem to watch a new show right now. I have such long a backlog that I have been actively ignoring watching CLOY, Itaewon Class, Startup.

I try to be introspective, I even have the fantasy that my default mode is introspection first.

I have been try to keep a semblance of normalcy by not watching new things.

The seeming contradiction is I am watching KPOP a lot.

Upon further thought I am just going back to the college age mindset to try new things or maybe more accurately a midlife crisis type of mindset wherein you try youthful things to capture ones youthful mindset again.

All in all I am not Okay but It’s Okay not to be Okay.
