I find Reddit more engaging than Clubhouse.

Correct. Ultimately, we will end up using Bitcoin as an asset and less for transactions. It is a better version of Gold.

Shutting TikTok is a good thing for the society at large.

This should not be a surprise. If you want to monkey around with the codebase and the algorithm, which company is easier to dupe? Microsoft or Oracle?

What do you expect from a 'new age' consultant selling books and concepts to create audience?

I am an Apple customer because I believe in their oversight and governance on the App store. I really don't want third party stores and 30% fee seems fair given the access to huge distribution.

Nobody here is talking about EBay but I am able to get the books I want on EBay after the local bookstore closed in my town.

Wow! They are losing a genius in Murthy. This is a bear case for Intel.

20 cents on the dollar is what they have on their minds. But when you add in the right layer of management, factor in productivity gaps due to time zone differences and lack of business context, etc. You are actually paying 80 cents on a dollar. Tech executives know this but they are unable to persuade their business counterparts.

perseusprime11 — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 14:17:56 +0000

They use some medical mumbo jumbo to show that patients spend less time at hospitals compared to other drugs and therefore Remdesivir works. They know how to lobby the scientific community so we will never know the truth. Sick patients will use and pay out of fear. I would love to see an unbiased study at some point if at all that shows the relative efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine with and without zinc and Remdesivir and other drugs.

Every 157 days feels like travel time. Can we isolate everything that in the Universe that takes 157 days from Earth and scanning the sky?

This feels like BS. Sorry! K12 is free. There should be no problem expanding to college and beyond. Also, see no reason to not have a good universal healthcare that is detached from your employer. These are smart ideas worth pursuing.

I hope they don’t replace one standardized test with another standardized test. Although, that’s exactly what may happen. It is not far fetched to create a more personalized project based testing that factors in race, ethnicity, socio economic status, gender, etc.

Also, if all colleges are created equally, endowed similarly, we may not need a test and follow the K12 model of going to your local college because it is as good as any other college. It is about time we solve education along with healthcare and create equity in the system.

Smart Move! Twitter employees will be more healthier than others if they utilize this time to focus on health and socializing differently. Local communities will become stronger and will help employees work from anywhere. Personally, I would love to work in a warm place during peak winters.
