~5 seconds from double clicking the app to the window appears (and starts to load HN) on my 2019 MBP. I think this is a really cool library. I use clojure daily and love it. But this app isn't a very compelling demo over electron atm.

I don't necessary disagree with the rest of your comment, but to me the last sentence falls on the "pro" side to let them fail. If shareholders like that are wiped out then maybe next time they won't punish companies for

Neither country took the middle ground compared to where the US was when we finally started reacting. South Korea has been aggressively testing, contact chasing, and quarantining from day 1. Look at their number of tests per capita compared

I think a more likely explanation is that a heatmap of covid-19 cases will roughly mirror a heatmap of population density and interstate highways are built between populated areas almost by definition. https://xkcd.com/1138&

What OP is saying is that the current price reflects the average investors best guess at how bad it's going to get. If some more people start thinking it's going to get worse they will sell and that statement will (essentially be)

That's not how trademark law works though. Just because apples are a common, 20 million year old fruit doesn't mean Apple can't trademark the brand Apple in relation to computers and personal electronics.

It also might be a government thing? 9/80 is common in the few national labs I've worked at or know people in. DoE and DoD labs.

IIRC it was reported like that by some outlets several months ago but the truth is more like US DoD personnel had to sign some keys to get interop with friendly fighters... Communications or some other kind of data sharing, I forget.
