Oh yes it’s all paycheck to paycheck people congregating in Central Park.

The shelter in place orders started off completely voluntary. People ignored them. And it escalated. People continued to ignore and the policies continued to escalate. We didn’t go…

How about we loan them the money at 16% interest, which is about the average interest rate for an airline credit card. And the loans go to the front of the line in any bankruptcy p…

It’s too bad that people can’t follow simple requests. Governments are forced to choose between allowing idiot citizens to destroy society or to implement draconian policies. Medic…

“Get” is an interesting choice of word. They won’t escape without any punishment but they certainly can do this. Their landlord can take them to court... when the courts open.

I guess I am in the minority because as soon as I see a shipping fee more than 7-10% of the cost of the item I immediately start looking elsewhere. Numerous times I've just decided…

It's a real stretch to suggest that Apple is a monopoly because they control their own platform. By that definition anyone who has a closed platform is operating a monopoly. Is Net…

Another side effect is cardiac arrest. I am not a doctor but from basic reading I have done the dosage seems extremely important.

I had a similar experience except it was Google. Google outright killed the app and punished our developer account while Apple happily let it continue. We tried distributing the ap…

People say this often but Apple only has about 20% of the smartphone market. They don’t have anywhere near a monopoly.

> To be sure, the congressional relief package includes $350 billion in help for small businesses, but the program is complex, limited in scope and only a fraction of eligible busi…

As has always been the case, you can use whatever browser you want on whatever OS you want. This has never been more true than right now.

Ah. I had not considered using DND for that purpose. Thanks!

You don’t need to worry about people under 30. Every older generation thinks every younger generation isn’t going to handle things well. And every single time, they are wrong.

If he had actually used the DPA last week this wouldn’t have happened. This shipment had already left the US and was in Bangkok. And if he had used the DPA in January we wouldn’t b…

How did you do that??

You can take people to mean whatever you want. Behind those algorithms and big funds are people pulling the strings. At the end of the day the market is a reflection of where thing…

The stock market is just a collection of people betting on where they think things are going. The market declined 25-30% because people were predicting a downturn. Now we’re in tha…

Yeah I understand the distinction but the weekly numbers capture much of the same information and are more accurate. The monthly survey is just something we do because we’ve done i…

The safety net has never been more robust than right now. With the additional $600/week through the end of July people can expect to receive an annualized amount of nearly $60,000.…

They do the monthly survey in the middle of the month. Most of the state shutdowns happened after the surveys were completed. Don’t ask me why they don’t just use the weekly number…

I think the implication was that hospital staffs are overworked with Covid-19 but that normal every day emergency situations are still going to happen.

If you don’t like it don’t use TikTok. It’s as simple as that.

Grocery stores? Pharmacies?

There is zero value in crypto as a currency with this kind of volatility. It would be equivalent to trying to buy coffee at Starbucks with shares of Boeing stock.
