It isn't contradicting at all. It's a bad time because it is hyper volatile, and there is a lot more room for it to drop than to gain. That doesn't mean it will drop. It means that saying "it's a good time to buy

Yes, it's a bad time. In that there is absolutely no understanding of where the bottom might be, and anyone claiming otherwise is a charlatan or a fool. While shares have been pummeled, for many large caps this just erases a few months

The US can't restrict its own citizens from returning (although it could certainly impose a quarantine), and I didn't claim or imply that they should. The point is that the action is farce . Those flights to and from Wuhan were

To reiterate what others said, it is long past containment in the United States. In Canada early on the cases were people who came from known hot spots. Now it is almost entirely people coming from the United States, from places with no kno

"Pushing to change the healthcare in the U.S. is a very partisan thing." Which is outrageous . The manner in which basic societal discussion get short-circuited into being partisan is grotesque. Though recall that Donald J. Trump

"Vstr" seems to target zero-copy by storing a string as a collection of blocks of data. Sds, from my reading, is essentially Pascal strings for C. They don't seem to be comparable.

His anti-intellectualism, anti-science history of saying catastrophically stupid things earned him that response. Just to be clear, this is an anti-vax president who continues to state just completely wrong things, and you're complai

What's the conspiracy? China didn't get over COVID-19. They're still seeing double-digit deaths daily and new infections. They're going to see recurring new networks and pockets appear repeatedly. Endlessly if the virus

SARS happened 17 years ago yet a lot of people remember it vividly. It had a dramatically smaller infection and fatality count than COVID-19 already has, and COVID seems to be just getting started. I understand why people want to be optimis

It is interesting how absolutely passionate some people are about masks. There is a pretty heady contingent here that seems to be of the "I DID MY PART" sort (by mindlessly pushing an absurd anti-science anti-mask angle -- I was

Cloudflare's CTO posts on HN, so many here seem to feel like they need to defend and herald the company for absolutely banal activities, as if they're personal friends. Whatever.

Surgical masks. We all know that. Everyone knows that. N95 masks are distinctly and absolutely worn to protect the wearer. N95 masks are recommended for front-line staff when dealing with viral outbreaks. H1N1, SARS, MERS, and now COVID-1

Yes, yes they do. I can find a million pictures of N95 masks that look just like a cheap little paper mask (not like surgical masks -- not rectangular. Just cheap and like it's made of paper similar to a paper filter). https:/&
