Listening to @siracusa on @atpfm talk about wandering around an office to find which printer you just sent a job to reminds me of when a coworker accidentally printed his boarding pass on a 6 foot wide banner printer in the Google Tel Aviv office.

IEEE 754's signed zero concept can be a source of bugs, which is why people don't like it.
It looks like Omicron wave will peak soon so I would suggest @JoeBiden announce a future variant plan like:
1) Warp speed new vaccines
2) Major order of pills
3) Test stockpile
4) kn mask stockpile/streamline
5) Ask Congress to invest in early detection sewer monitoring
So many good ideas here, and relatively cheap compared to the previous pandemic bills.
