Because your statement is misleading. Some countries are are using it more frequently than the US, but Germany and the UK prescribe it much less. Italy had the highest prescription…

Considering Star wars media continues to print money for Disney, and core Star wars consumers were appalled at the franchise before the acquisition (prequels), that's not the best …

In theory that sounds nice but as far as trusting a company with my privacy/data, a Chinese backed social network is probably one of the only entities I would trust less than Faceb…

This has been painfully obvious for the duration of this administration, nevermind just recently. The danger is that at some point an administration would be so adept at this that …

I had the same thought, which made me think how little we know about the ecosystems on earth, which made me think it's even more important to protect the environment. We destroy th…

In my experience most people use them interchangeably with no distinction between them. The only time I've seen anyone show disdain for one term vs another is here on HN. I've neve…

>This is 100% incidental complexity. The article talked a lot about their new dark mode feature, how they wouldn't have been able to implement it in their old tech stack, and how t…

That's not what the article said. It was highlighting how despite some hospitals being overrun, these field hospitals still went unused because there were no plans in place to util…

Did we read the same article? It praised the actions of building the hospitals, while stating what you said in that it shows we weren't as prepared as we should be for a pandemic. …

This is explored in the book Jurassic Park, but was left out of the movie.

I don't mean this to be rude, but it doesn't sound like you have much experience working at home with children around. I don't think you should be so quick to assume you know the s…

Not in my case, no. They're not school aged, and are at home during the day. Elementary schools where I am run roughly 9-3 as well, except on Thursdays when they run 9-2. Maybe I c…

Children probably. Don't get me wrong, I love being home and spending time with the family more, it's really the best part of this experience for me. But there's no way I'd be able…

> - The system must maintain an incentive to return to work. Paying people 100% of their replacement income to not work will reduce the incentive to return to work. Is there any ev…

Isn't the point to be able to sustain someone until they can get another job? What's the point of giving someone enough money to pay their mortgage but not enough to eat, or enough…

>Would you trade 9 million unemployed for 9 million dead? No, I'm not advocating to abort a quarantine and have people return to work. >It's a fantasy to assume people will just go…

This "economy is paused" idea is getting more and more unjustifiable by the day, weeks, and months. We're not going to emerge from this and just hit the unpause button. Yes some in…

I'm not sure where I gave the impression of being ok with what zoom is doing, but I'm not. I'm saying this is the expected course given the incentives we as a society have establis…

I agree, but Zoom is a publicly traded company. Their incentives aren't necessarily aligned with the public good. The question is "why should Zoom leadership care about the recent …

There are a lot of people who don't really understand the importance of social distancing yet. When we told in-laws that the state (MA) had just banned dining-in starting the next …

Agree with a lot of what you said, but the Boston marathon isn't cancelled, it's postponed to 9/14.
