Define much, please. I believe getting near 90% at rest means it's time to think about an ER visit.

Mine starts beeping at 93% (if I hold my breath for as long as I can it drops to around 92%). My level does rebound again after a few seconds. 85%, sounds a bit low, not totally incredulous though.

Does anyone know the degradation in blood oxygen levels under moderate exercise for a person who is fairly health (not athlete but slim, does regular exercise)? I had covid, so bought one of these, and I'm now building my way back to b

People in Sweden did social distance, did stop going out to bars and cafes etc.

It's a well established economic term: financial repression. Understate inflation so real rates are negative, then your savings either dwindle or you give in to the pressure to take more risk.

Poor quality stuff. If this can be caught again, there is no natural herd immunity.

Ever caught a cold from your kid, who didn't have it bad? I have. It's highly likely this is the same, and the burden of proof is on those who want to say this coronavirus is the exception.

This is bad advice. We have no idea if it can be caught twice. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/12/immunity-to-co...

So in a classroom with 15 kids breathing in and out, talking etc, for hours, with an airborne virus, seems the teachers will catch it.

The "happy coincidence" to a genuinely welcome offer is a huge boost to a collapsing real estate market.

It's not just passwords. Imagine if you were writing an email to a close friend, about looking for a new job because you think your boss is incompetent. You copy and paste it for some reason (reformatting, whatever). You do not want th

Agreed. This got me started on a love affair that is still going strong, around 20 years later.

Okay I thought that was per person. $100 is still expensive, however it's less jarring. Basically this is another thing to take into account when considering moving to SV, I suspect.

$300 a month? Was it also a country club? That is so expensive.

They are not "traders". They are kids speculating. Leveraged exposure to the stock market and the obsession with leveraged property are symptomatic of the fact that doing wealth creating jobs no longer pays enough to lead a decent

This is particularly bad for the UK as our numbers were already dire. Some may be due to the halt of the NHS for other stuff.

Covid killed restaurants, a local fresh produce supplier switched from restaurants to the public. The fruit and veg is great quality. I would order online from them forever, but I suspect in time they will switch back to restaurants and I w

Bullshit has real jobs hanging off it. You can be a hedge fund day trading, and have real cleaners cleaning real toilets.

Read the article, not just the headline, my corporatist friend.

So they are not deluding themselves about how transmissible covid is, nor how serious it is. Meanwhile the rest get told to get back to the office.

The price isn't set on the cost to deliver, at all. It's based on ability to pay, which is based on available credit, which is based on whatever bankers can get away with saying lifetime earnings will be.

99.9% of people aren't in that financial position. It's a completely out of touch scenario.

I write this near starvation, on my commodore 64. Food and electronic equipment will be cheaper tomorrow, and with the money I save I can purchase that econ 102 book. Why must I be so rational?

It quickly becomes a pyramid scheme based on ever looser credit to ramp ever scarcer housing, if no additional action is taken to address the need for ever more youth to prop up pension obligations. Which then further suppresses family for

Even per capita is misleading. Go to get stitches in the eu vs america. Buy a regular pizza in the eu, get quality, buy it in the usa get synthetic yuk.

I think a lot of airbnb is now technically sub-zero-income property. Glad to hear there is one less airbnb property out there, and congrats on the cheaper rent. I'll put my other comment here as despite putting anything contentious, th

Exactly.

Exactly. It's not 20% off. Make them drop the monthly rent by 20%. That is 20% off.

Nothing to do with airbnb flooding the rental market?

What happened? Did they change the zoning laws? I think Hacker News always cites that as the main problem, right?
