Since we all know that the wealthy will figure out how to cut the line, I wish we would just own up to it and auction off a certain number of doses and give the money to those affected by the pandemic.

The problem is that if you don't make employees pay to exercise, then whatever options you give them become taxable compensation. As an employee, I'd rather not pay taxes on shares of a company that I can't sell anytime soon.

Many people give money in a functionally anonymous way. Sure, it might be traceable, but if I go online and donate $100 to the red cross: 1) They might know my name, but they don't really know who I am 2) I don't really get any so

Agree. Perhaps SOMEONE somewhere knows that you gave a donation, but functionally, many donations are as good as anonymous. If I give $300 (or even $3000) to a food bank, no one is calling to give me a congratulations. Do they have my name?

a) Boston Dynamics might be a cool company, but they don't seem to have a widely used product on the market (and they were founded 28 years ago). b) Is there a specific app with just a few thousand users that sold for more than $1B?

This needs to stop being sensationalized. Vaccine studies target something simple and easy to measure... whether it prevents Covid symptoms. That’s the hypothesis being tested. It is very likely that it also builds up your immune system to

The beauty of public markets is that you can make a handsome profit if this is your conviction, you put your money where your mouth is and it turns out to be true.

Key point: no significant effect for protecting wearers. The study makes no claims (and didn't study) whether the masks protect others from the wearer.

Actually, they are not. They only advise participants to get tested if they show symptoms. So it's possible that a bunch of people on the vaccine are getting asymptomatic cases.

The relevant piece for most people to know is that based on data from a short time period, people were 20x less likely to get symptomatic COVID if they get the vaccine. The exact number will probably change a bit as more time goes by and mo
