What will they spend it on? They can't go out, can't spend it on anything but essentials and some percentage of those essentials are difficult to get anyway.

Still delivering next day in the UK, received some coffee beans this morning. Probably helps that the roads are a lot quieter than usual right now.

If the fed plays politics, the politicians will play politics back, but harder.

Depends on what percentage of transmission is hand to nose/mouth vs inhaling the virus I guess? To prevent hand to face anything would do.

Do we know if the virus does worse in warmer climates? I ask because I'm still amazed that the numbers in south east asia are so low, Thailand and Vietnam had huge amounts of Chinese tourists over Chinese new year and yet case wise the

Well they're basically fantastical adventure stories which have always been popular to greater or lesser degrees. It's just that special effects got good enough and their producers had 30+ years of comic books to mine for decent s

I doubt they expect it to "lift" the market in a meaningful way, they're just trying to smooth out some of the volatility. Having lived through the 2007/8 financial crash, yeah... market declines happen, not the end of t

During the financial crisis circa 2007-8 gold also sold off initially when a lot of gold bugs believed it should rise higher given the financial markets instability. The reason was that people needed to sell their "winners" in or

The administration doesn't direct interest rate policy, the FED does, within the context of the FED's mandate a rate drop isn't unexpected during an event like this.

Most people don't care about politics that much, they vote more or less for a continuation of what's currently going on with an occasional minor course correction one way or another. I imagine that was the case with that lady, did

I think you're misrepresenting QE. The Bonds the fed bought eventually expire, the money they used to buy the bonds gets repaid to the fed. It's not like they gave the value of the bonds to "very rich people" and said &q

You can do that now? Create your own subreddit and pretty much enforce those rules, offer that sub as an alternative.

Pretty much every forum, reddit and social media network goes away including HN in that case, the only way any of it works is because they have it both ways.

In a world where you can plot a pin of yourself via gps on the map the need for street names, building names e.t.c. at higher zoom levels just doesn't matter because you don't need it to figure out where you actually are, with pap

You can never really make a map for "exploring" because what people want to explore is domain specific. Do you want to explore mountains? Do you want to explore museums, do you want to explore beaches? There is too much stuff in t

For some percentage of people with that problem maybe this app will indeed solve it. Loneliness across a population not being something that can be solved with a silver bullet, but lots of lead bullets instead.

Well, it is in its format. Like Digg and Reddit before it, the addictive part comes from a constant stream of new "stuff" for us to consume. To anyone looking at us pre reddit/digg many of us would look "addicted"

Extortion would be 20milion. 2 mil is not unreasonable given the circumstances.

Microsoft have the money, 1.7mil is a rounding error for them. They could've paid the money, solved their problem and nobody would be discussing this on HN now. Instead everybody now knows how incompetent/boneheaded Microsoft are

Because it's fundamentally Microsofts mistake? The asking price for the domain isn't unreasonable given it's a 4 letter .com and Microsoft can easily afford it. All this does is make Microsoft look incompetent.

Interesting, China's absolute control of media within the country turns into a double edged sword, people don't trust what they're being told on the subject and go with the worst possible scenario's instead.

The same with posts on Bay Area Housing Prices, UBI, PHP, "The Terribleness of Google" and many more. All these subjects just repeat the same old arguments but just give a new set of people the opportunity to repeat them. This has

Yeah it didn't catch on. The Wii U bombed, Kinect on xbox bombed and the actual number of games that took advantage of the features in either was pretty low compared to the total games released in those generations. Wii/kinect is
