-> House and Techno
They are related and close in proximity (Detroit and Chicago), but you will see a lot of the older DJ and Producers from the era tell the story has Techno being inspired by the sounds of automobile industry in Detroit and House being a descendant of Disco with influences from New York.
I can rent a studio in Seoul for a little over half the price in Seattle. The salaries trend higher if you work as a software engineer for one of the newer companies. Korea also has unique offerings opposed to the usual monthly rent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeonse
Even if you can prove a revenue number, it doesn't matter if they don't want to promote you. I've seen it explicitly stated at more than one company, that revenue impact is irrelevant and that you need to show a "large enough design and execution" to be promoted as a reason to just not give it out.
This was standard protocol in my org at Microsoft as well. The time was suppose to be spend reviewing tech debt/the years oncall issues and come up with plans for them.
I grew up in Louisiana were the accordion player is usually the frontman for a Zydeco band, and Zydeco is more popular than ever there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L2fCgK1OGU
I had no idea accordions had any stigmas until moving away.
One of the sources of Zydeco is traditional French Canadian folk music...which features fiddles and accordians. You can definitely hear the roots in some of the music by bands like La Bottine Souriante which provides a wonderfully modern take on the art https://youtu.be/KYza0wxs7Ic
Huh, I had to ask specifically for it during my annual. Still salty about that since my insurance supposedly covers annual physicals but asking for the test meant that I was going beyond a routine physical and so they coded it as an office visit and billed me a not insignificant amount for it (for the visit, not the test itself, which was extra). Talking to the billing department and the insurance company got me nowhere.
I donate blood. The American Red Cross sometimes gives away small gifts ($5 Amazon Gift Card, windbreaker with ARC logo, etc.) to promote donation. The are now testing blood for COVID so I've had one free negative test so far.
There are different tests that you can get from places like LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics - doctors working for these places prescribe the test. Anyway, since ARC is testing your blood anyway, it seemed like a reasonable incentive would be to test your blood for Vitamin D deficiency. Or testosterone or cholesterol levels or whatever you wanted from a menu of choices.
That would be nice but blood tests aren't free and blood banks would have to pass that cost on to their customers. The main reason they tested for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was to identify potential convalescent serum donors.
