Wouldn't 52 holiday days make more sense than 4 day workweeks? Would give flexibility for people who prefer either 5 day or 4 workweeks. Allows people to actually have real time off. Personally I'd rather 2.5 months off the year to go travel/really focus on a side project, than 4 day work weeks.

I really wish Google would just come out with its own fully fledge desktop linux OS, rather than ChromeOS. They're probably the only company out there that could feasibily get linux on the desktop, as it could use its large resources to really polish user experience on the same scale as macos/windows (drivers, UI, centralised app store, encourage 3rd parties to develop for the platform, etc)

Lol. Some brokers allow you to vote on fractional shares, and technically you don't own the share, but why would they care if you do or not, it's about the voting rights.

I guess you haven't heard of fractional shares

The ironic thing is, the genetics that are making us unhealthy, are the exacts ones that made us healthy and able to survive when calories were scarce and intermittent.

Try airbnb.com.au Australia made legislation requiring companies to give the full price.

Why can't they support multiple interfaces? Allow people to switch to one if they like

I feel high school should be a year longer IMO. Life expectancy has grown, but number of years in secondary education hasn't.

Obviously my advice doesn't pertain to your main point, but as a person who's been to 80+ countries, and very experienced with this, my advice is only use carry on, it's not worth the risk. Buy the biggest bag you can that's allowable as a carry on and use that. I've had only a carry on whilst travelling for 7 months straight, and it worked out fine for me, pack light and wash your clothes at your hotel/airbnb.

Really starting to get sick of this moral posturing. 1 year isn't a "mild inconvenience", the lockdown have been absolutely devastating to many many people, but of course you wouldn't know that because you probably WFH on a comfy salary for a tech company?

3Blue1Brown came out with a fantastic explanation of bayes theorem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZGCoVF3YvM

I can get an E3 visa, looking to move the US. I have a few online side projects that generate some money, am I still legally able to work on these on the side whilst working my main job? Bank account that im paid into and business will still be registered in Australia

You can, I run 1.6 in Parallels VM, FPS is very good.

Let's not forgot the poorer countries that simply cannot sustain a lockdown for long periods, as it will kill more people than save. UN is now predicting 130 million starving due to the hit to the global economy.

The economic collapse also brings death. The 2009 recession saw a huge spike in suicides, and this does not account for the deaths of the poorer parts of the world whose citizens are one paycheck away from starvation.

The death rate is actually far lower than we initially thought, we can see this from all the antibody tests coming out. 1/5 of NYC is now estimated to have already contacted the disease.

That is good news if that's the case!

NYC population is 8.4 million. Their death rate is 6,589 (Apr 13). 0.1% of 8.4 million is 8400, that would mean almost everyone in NYC has been infected, I'm not sure that is feasible at the moment.

The tests might be inaccurate. Current antibody tests seem to conflate the common cold with covid-19, as they are both coronaviruses.

Try proxyman, the UI is so much better

Do you realise most of Europe has the same freedoms as America, including constitutional rights? America isn't the only place with freedom.

Isolation of the elderly and at-risk groups until either vaccine or herd immunity whilst increasing the stockpiles of PPE and ventilators seem like the only real strategy at the moment.

A decent percentage of people are also asymptomatic with most influenza strains. You probably know friends/acquaintance who says they never get the flu in winter, even though it's highly likely they have gotten the virus before, it's just their inflammation response for whatever reason (likely genetic variation) doesn't produce symptoms.

The test they gave only tests for live viral load. It's possible there were cases that were asymptomatic, the immune system took care of it, and when tested they showed no virus, even though they had it.

The only real way we can know for sure is giving mass random antibody tests to a population.

People over 80 already have roughly 8% chance of dying in a year anyway from other causes.

They haven't done any widespread testing, they need to do complete antibodies tests. how is it possible to know it

I wouldn't discount React Native. Microsoft and Shopify are now fully committed to it, and Facebook is committed to fixing the architecture issues that made Airbnb leave it in the first place.

React Native is still used widely at Facebook. It's never been abandoned. They abandoned HTML5, which is entirely different.

I don't really understand Citymapper, everything in that app is available on Google Maps. What am I missing?

.com domains really need to be more expensive. If the price was $100 or $200 a year, that would significantly decrease the amount of squatting.
