I get with Uber drivers. But why Airbnb hosts? Airbnb is supposed to be supplemental income right?

> bottle deposits, or a small fee for plastic bags You know how these programs started? They started small. A few stores requiring them. Eventually, they become a law.

So if this virus kills people in the same demographic as you instead and you are one of the people dying, you're ok if the government just let you die?

The thing is these millions of elderly people dying are someone else's relatives. It could even be yours. Will you be ok with that?

Again, this is about slowing down the spread of the virus so that it won't overwhelm hospitals. We will live with the virus for decades. We are pausing the economy to buy us time until a treatment or vaccine is available.

No US airports until a few days ago screened arriving passengers. They were not asked if they came from regions with large outbreaks. After a month from 1st infection, less than 2000 tests was conducted in the US. Right now, it's 12,00

Outside of big tech companies, not many US companies are encouraging or requiring their employees to work from home.

Even if you're in the demographic not likely to die, you will be in contact with people who are likely to die from the virus and you can infect them.

"Forced participation if you do more than $10,000 is ridiculous, but I otherwise fail to see what the uproar is about." Well, the uproar is about the forced participation. If you remove that, then you obviously will fail to see th

I don't. But do I have to assume that illegal immigrants are spreading the virus in the US?

It doesn't make sense unless it's crossing via land border In Mexico but there are 0 cases in Mexico.

"the person must have had contact somehow with somebody infected." I mean that's how viruses are transmitted.

Eh just look it up on the web.

This is just the consequence of tech monopolies. It's easier for bad people to blackmail you since they only have a few distribution channels to game or abuse. If your business get banned in one of these channels, then your business is

Facebook will pay 4 people. "The four-person team from Reuters will review user generated video and photos as well as news headlines and other content..."

We already see Airbnb using dark, anxiety-inducing UX patterns (e.g. 5 other people are looking...). With them needing more revenue, this tactic will likely escalate.

Is there a way to see Facebook's revenue broken down by country?

For some of them, I can stop. But some are essential. Transferwise is not connected to my FB account but is sending data to Facebook.

Is is too late to change my email address on Facebook? I'm assuming Facebook keeps a history of my email addresses that it can still associate it to my account. Another option is to change all my email address at these sites.

>That seems wild to me: not only does Google get more $ from ads, but they have this massive power to wipe out competitors this way, with minimal repercussions. Two-birds, one stone. Crazy thing is they are using their competitors money

Is it possible that they did this because there's just no easy access to restrooms like being stuck in traffic? I have friends who have done this when they were stuck in traffic. I imagine that when UPS drivers do their deliveries like
