On February 3, 2025, several School Closings in Ma have announced delays and closings due to significant overnight snowfall. The weather conditions have resulted in hazardous travel, prompting administrators to adjust school schedules to ensure the safety of students and staff. This report will provide an overview of the current situation regarding school delays and closings in Massachusetts, alongside related information for nearby regions.
Words on ammo in CEO shooting echo common phrase on insurer tactics: Delay, deny, defend by [[Tom Murphy]]
“Thoughts and prior authorizations!” wrote another user.
“I would be happy to help look for the shooter but vision isn’t covered under my healthcare plan,” one comment read on Instagram.
The 2010 book Delay, Deny, Defend: Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it has become a bestseller on Amazon in the week since the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.The book’s title is reminiscent of the three words carved into the bullet casings — “deny,” “defend,” “depose” — found on the Midtown Manhattan street where 50-year-old Thompson was fatally shot on December 4. Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged with murder in connection to Thompson’s death.

Namely, less metadata.
Perhaps it could be mitigated via metadata compaction on sync and snapshots to garbage-collect history.
How to Safely Delay or Stop Your Period
Here are some general approaches:
Remember, while it’s generally safe to delay or stop your period, it’s crucial to do so under medical guidance to ensure it’s done correctly and to avoid any potential health risks.
Always discuss your individual health needs and any potential side effects with your doctor before starting any new regimen.

Carbon capture is a phishing scheme introduced by the Koch brothers at MIT in 2004, the same year that Charles and David Koch provided the funds for Americans for Prosperity.
Another option would be to implement a delay scheme to avoid a brute force attack. After each failed attempt A, the authentication server would wait for an increased T*A number of seconds, e.g., say T = 5, then after 1 attempt, the server waits for 5 seconds, at the second failed attempt, it waits for 5*2 = 10 seconds, etc.
It is suggested that verification be locked out after a small number of failed attempts or that each failed attempt attracts an additional (linearly increasing) delay.
a new and insidious tactic is threatening to undermine our efforts to build a more sustainable future: climate delay
= climate delay - redirecting responsibility onto individuals - advocating non-transformative solutions - focusing on negatives of climate action - wokewashing and white saviorism - doomism - giving up

For instance, some projects have time locks so that a coin can’t be used to vote for some period of time after it has been exchanged.
Similar idea to the"eloboosting" that is happening in esport games like csgo and lol <--this is a great angle to explain the "time lock" mechanism and why it makes sense.

When we practice active hope, when we look at what people are doing, and we share those stories with others and talk about what we can do together, then we realize that the boulder is already at the top of the hill and is rolling down in the right direction, and has millions of hands on it. It’s just not going fast enough.
This statement is right on. It has now become a question about the RATE of system change we can achieve to avoid a degraded future. The faster we act, the less degraded it will become.

Email’s actually not guaranteed to be quick. Even though it usually is pretty darned speedy, the entire email system is built to tolerate delays of several days. There are various reasons that this might happen, including a few very legitimate spam-fighting techniques. The solution? Wait a while. If in a few hours or the next day you still haven’t received the confirmation email, the problem may be elsewhere.

The last responsible moment mindset can at times lull me (erroneously) into thinking that I’ll always have time to change my mind if I need to. I’m ever the optimist. Yet in order to work well with others and to produce habitable software I sometimes need a little more forethought. And so, I think I operate more effectively if I make decisions at the “most responsible moment” instead of the “last responsible moment”. I’m not a good enough of a designer (or maybe I am too much of an optimist) to know when the last responsible moment is. Just having a last-responsible moment mindset leaves me open to making late decisions. I’m sure this is not what Mary and Tom intended at all.
decisions that initially appear to be localized (and not to impact others who are working in other areas) can and frequently do have ripple affects outside their initially perceived sphere of influence
I am not known as someone who plans things far out in advance. As a consequence I rarely use frequent flyer miles because I don’t anticipate vacation plans far enough in advance.
Deciding too late is dangerous, but deciding too early in the rapidly changing world of software development is arguably even more dangerous. Let the principle of Last Responsible Moment be your guide
delay commitment until the last responsible moment, that is, the moment at which failing to make a decision eliminates an important alternative

Monitoring Latency (How Low Can You Go?)
Today, most delay units are digital, but they often include controls to help them emulate the characteristics of the early tape units, including distortion and low-pass filtering in the delay path and pitch modulation to emulate the wow and flutter of a well-used tape transport.
While pure digital delay produces perfect echoes, an analogue emulation can be more musically useful, as each successive echo becomes less distinct, creating a sense of distance and perspective.
Hi-fi echoes tend to confuse the original sound, while the human hearing system seems better able to separate lo-fi echoes from the original clean sound.
the median review time at journals has grown from 85 days to >150 days during the past decade (5)
This statement is a misunderstanding of Powell 2016, which states:
At Nature, the median review time has grown from 85 days to just above 150 days over the past decade, according to Himmelstein's analysis.
However,
the median review time — the time between submission and acceptance of a paper — has hovered at around 100 days for more than 30 years.
So while the median review time at Nature has gone from 85 to 150 days, this is not the case for all journals. See also the related Tweet.
