Let's hope it passes out to sea and minimal damage anywhere on land.
We gotta save the planet. Escape to Mars to Nuke it, makes sense. Not.
" Globally, the question of equity is even more acute, with cities in developed nations far better able to fund climate change adaptation projects than in developing countries. “In an environment of scarce resources for local authorities, especially in poor countries, mobilizing such resources will be a real political and institutional challenge,” according to a World Bank study."

My company, Pagarba, believes in the philosophy of remote work, respect and as much flexibility as possible. Just get work done when you need to. If you need to drop kids off at school, take college classes, go surfing , go the gym, whatever it's all about flexibility and creating an environment where you get your work and life in order. I guess you could call it the work life balance to the extreme philosophy.

What’s a qutrit?
It’s like a qubit. A qunit is an entangled pair of particles used to carry info in a quantum computing system. Qubits are sort of similar to bits, the binary units of information used by computers we use today.
Bits can be represented by the numbers 0 and 1, qubits can be 0, 1, or both at the same time.
Trits, used in classical tenary systems , add a 2 into the mix. And qutrits are the quantum version of trits, capable of carrying even more information than their qubit counterparts.
Cool stuff quantum computing..

Housing was the biggest expense for those living in the top 5 cities, forming 29.34% of the overall composite index of the cost of living.
A one bedroom apartment in Manhattan goes for $3,100 a month now. The Median annual household income was around $75,400 in NYC.
The average rent in San Francisco is around $3,600 for an apartment now. But median income is a little higher so events it out and why NYC, statistically speaking, is the most expensive.
