(Disclaimer I do NOT know what I'm talking about, just repeating what I saw on Twitter) It seems like they've all closed their shorts already, most of them did on like day 2 I believe. In addition, other hedge funds have been on t

We have a very high number of cases per capita, and while we do perform a lot of tests, it's not like we lead in tests per capita. [Here's a good graph to play around with]( https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-da

You're making a realllyyy strong claim here, and also an unclear one. Redistribution hasn't worked... worked to achieve what end goal? I would be interested to hear what you think wealth redistribution has failed to do, and also t

I used Polar for a while when v1 came out and really loved it, especially the highlighting/notetaking capabilities. I ended up switching away from it just because of the lack of support for EPUBs... so this is really exciting!! Can&#x2

Japanese bees have developed a strategy to defeat the hornets so they're better able to protect their nests. Bees in the US don't have that strategy. Pretty cool to watch actually: https://twitter.com/ferrisjabr&#x

Well Amazon has a history of mistreating workers. So, why do we think they are likely mistreating workers? It's because they have a long & well-document track record of doing so. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4

The program is not re-funded yet. The bill has not been signed into law. (see "lapsed appropriations" on this page: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relie... I am reading the narrat

Sorry but your experience is vastly different from the experience of the vast majority of people. The program is out of money and about 75% of applicants are still waiting (& won't be getting their money). Almost all of those who h

That piece is really bizarre and poorly written. It feels like they're trying to shoehorn a bunch of right-wing talking points into a piece about corporate boringness. This quote is laughably bad: > The male toilet has disappeared o

Respectfully, this sounds like a dystopia to me. In fact this exact structure has been described in multiple dystopian novels and movies [1]. Dividing people into castes that affect their options in life is a really really bad and dangerous

Your last sentence does not seem right to me, and it also seems to be phrased in a disingenuous way. "punishing companies for not serving some greater democratic service" is a very weird way to describe a legitimate worry about c

The idea that 24/7 minute-by-minute location data can somehow truly be "anonymized" is beyond ridiculous. It's easy for any organization (or even a single researcher who has cash to spend) to deanonymize it by merging w

I'm not sure why "less auto dependence [would mean] less suburbs." Here's one alternative: If we get rid of cars in cities, have commuter rail from the city to each surrounding suburb, and allow cars in the suburb? Then.

This comment doesnt seem to be in good faith. > Yes, that's how databases work. The article is arguing for end-to-end-encryption, which is perfectly do-able for google. It's not a matter of "how databases work" at all

If I went to a party, and saw a guy there who was well-known as a convicted sex offender and convicted pedophile (Florida convicted him of soliciting an underage prostitute), I would leave. I believe that the list of individuals is availabl

This is where you want to make POST requests to an API you have / have built to get new data on the go! Of course, d3 is definitely still limited in scale, but just want to mention that technique bc it does allow you to slice & dic

One of the frustrating things w this whole ecosystem is you basically have two choices: * Use one of those higher-level libraries (bokeh, plotly) to create a chart that looks exactly like every other chart made by that library * If you need
