Elon Musk might have some suspect DMs, but honestly I think his crazy Twitter behavior is priced into TSLA already.

Like this scenario in 2016 that ended when the last far-right occupiers of a national wildlife refugee left after 6 weeks?.

2. Lots of old people, which for Covid is about 65, still work full time jobs. Some of them fly every week. These aren't 95+ year olds.

3. I'm sure people of all ages think their life is very valuable, and very few people consider themselves candidates for sacrifice. Certainly not for privacy concerns.

4. 10x deadlier than the flu.

Then if you look at the very low security group, roughly 4% or 5 million people, it gets really worrisome. 32% of households said an adult had gone an entire day without eating anything.

And I think this is compounded by something like Covid-19. 85% and 95% of the low and very low food security groups said they were worried food would run out. What happens to them when people make a run on the stores like this last month? Their ability to buy food is strongly tethered to the day of the month when their EBT card is reloaded.

I think a lot of this is subjective, and globally the US is doing quite well compared to all countries. But I suspect we do poorly compared to other industrialized/advanced economies.

I think that food insecurity meaning literal hunger pains is way too low a bar for the US. That number should be literally 0%. Food security for us should mean food that is healthy and excellent.

I love Khan Academy, and the cool thing about youtube is there are so many content creators that there will be someone your daughter thinks has a nice voice or is easy to understand or funny.

I would be curious what people think today's most obvious schelps or hard problems are? Nuclear Fission as in OPs post is cool, but Im thinking more along the lines of something a team of competent developers could do.

Why does Amazon do one day shipping? That's also huge overkill for 99% of the stuff they sell. They do it because consumers want it, and will instantly forget about all their disdain for Bezos, who btw seems to be growing in unpopularity by the hour, for a more streamlined and hassle free product. I'm not a huge introvert but my instinct is already to do self checkout. I can keep listening to my music, don't have to do the "alright please insert your card" dance, etc.

There are probably 50 high quality end to end tutorial for building a video streaming app. I guess using Firebase is tying you in to a service, but so what? If it's for 4 friends it doesn't have to be infinitely scalable. Just by writing an iOS app you're tied to Apple, right? And surely an app isnt a failure just because it has dependencies?
