220 deaths in my 2million+ county is nothing. Society would of carried on perfectly fine. The economic depression screwed us over way more.

Then don't go to a restaurant or bar. Down here in Texas we opened in May and left it up to the individual to make the health choice. I'm active and going to the gym daily and bars…

I went though every link and there was not a single interesting or cool thing. Outside of the real estate company they are all gambling and coin 'investing' companies. I was bullis…

>there will probably be some people who scoop up these shops for a steal Yes, the ultra rich. This pandemic has resulted in the greatest upward transfer of wealth in history.

I think that's wishful thinking, St Louis was declining way before covid. I don't see a stop of migration happening anytime here in the Austin metro or any of the other major Texas…

Are there any good open source libraries or even commercial tools for root detection and app code obfuscation like discussed in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23…

Houston != Austin. Our freeway system is ridiculous. We have a single interstate, multiple tolls and no 'loop' around the city. Houston and Dallas may be famous for their 8 lane hi…

Funny you mention that. Krogers, the largest super market in the US, announced today they are ending 'hazard' pay. Lasted for little over a month.

Well of course you like it, you are lucky enough to have an office. If everyone had that or least not open office bull pens then I could also see the appeal.

Older folks? I have a mid 30's coworker who used to get most of social activity from the office and tech events and meetups (which is bad for a whole other set of reasons) but even…

You also need to consider that the median tenure at these type of companies are 2-3yrs[0][1][2] (1.1 at google!). In my experience that's not enough to get the full stock grants. S…
