If the flower shop goes out of business, 3-5 ppl lose their jobs. If Costco goes out of business, 250,000 people lose their jobs...

Another thing that I find funny is how haphazardly the social distancing rules are enforced. At Costco when entering the store, they have you get into an external makeshift line and stand 6 feet away from the next person while waiting for y

It's only orderly so far because of a) food supply has not been affected yet*, and b) the gov issued unprecedented bailouts and put money in the hands of many people/businesses. However, we can't just keep printing money fore

so you think 6-18 months of SIP is going to work? I think that could lead us to a dire situation. > robust contact tracing works Doesn't that rely on the individual opting in/using it? I have a feeling most people don't wa

That was/is the precise reason given, so it's hard to imagine this going on much longer given that hospitals are doing fine. I think another month is going to lead to chaos and many people rebelling.

Why not just base it on US law? It’s illegal to get someone to kill themselves, but not to preach exceptional philosophies. In the real world, the best way to refute a quack idea is with facts and a strong argument.

that's the problem... the same handful of companies have dominated the space for the past decade and mostly monopolized the attention. we need more competitors.

On what basis is he a one-hit-wonder? Just because his endeavors didn’t progress to building rockets or big data ML for the gov, and instead to building a winning NBA team and one of most successful ongoing reality “startup” tv shows, he is

I concur that both the UI/UX has gone down and the results themselves are feeling less reliable. Have you tried viewing pages past the first page? Often times it's just filled with what looks like foreign hacker scam websites.

How do you know that the motives of the site operators are what you think? For instance it could be that this is a network of ad-revenue generating sites and has nothing to do with civil protest movements... https://www.dw.com&#x

Yeah I guess it comes down to monetization strategy and how loyal/sympathetic the early adopters are. It's funny because it's frequently mentioned how Google's tracking is what enables it to give such personalized search

I'm using newspaper for a new project and this has me wondering how hard it would be to either fork it or create a new repo and let the community run it... hrmm. For me it's not pressing right now but if it really stays stagnant t

The point is to iterate, innovate, and compete. Name one major social media site today that was based on a “new protocol”? Answer: None. They all started as slight twists to an existing site. It’s kind of strange to me that the word “centra

My experience with google hangouts over the years has been that it's a poorly made product. It does work "ok" for 1-1 but the video quality would frequently drop or not connect at all. Zoom just "works".
