Goldman Sachs already said they expect a further drop of 20%. Of course, this is just the beginning.
It will just make things much worse. Without a liquid market for stocks, no matter how bad the whole economy would grind to a halt at some point. Though we're a long time away from the next IPO (by my guess) as long as there are buyers the market should stay open because that will allow a lot of entities to fulfill their obligations. If you close that avenue off there will be a severe knock-on effect from institutional investors that suddenly find themselves without liquidity. That's a scenario that I'd rather not contemplate.

The 'no buyers' scenario in fact did play out two weeks ago, there were 1.8 million shares of Shell for sale on the Amsterdam exchange without buyers. Shares to be sold without reserve, and yet, no buyers. It took a long time to fill those orders and that's why Shell did not have a price on the board during that time. Never, ever, happened before.

In my opinion the difference is that "behaving in a socially expected way" is following norms so that no bad attention is drawn to you or to prevent others from having negative experiences from your behavior, and "performing" is the constant feedback cycle of emulating behaviors and traits that you think will draw positive attention and create good experiences with others.

A good example is that most things people do to be polite are considered "behaving in a socially expected way" while interactions like a young adolescent male lowering their voice when talking to somebody they are attracted to is "performing".

Performance is common for many other interactions like dressing up and formalizing language for job interviews, "telephone voice", as well as matching posture and speaking style during interactions. Performance captures the potentially unfounded change in behavior to better a specific interaction. Many sitcoms often create comedic moments when performance for a specific interaction is not compatible with performance for another interaction, so when "worlds collide" (as in Seinfeld) the character has to either struggle with maintaining both performances, or choose one form of performance to stick with and ruin an interaction with some other situation.

>Unfortunately whenever a president starts talking about this, he has a tendency to be shot.

What are you talking about? Unless I'm forgetting someone, there have only been 2 assassinations, and one attempted one that famously failed. Lincoln was assassinated by someone who was mad about the Civil War. Reagan was shot by Sirhan Sirhan, but I doubt that's what you're talking about. Kennedy might be what you're talking about, but there's a lot of theories about what might have motivated that if you believe that it was orchestrated by someone and not the sole work of Oswald, with the biggest one I think being that Kennedy was planning to pull out of Vietnam. Anyway, even if your claim has merit, that's only a single data point.
No one knows. You have the entire world working (mostly together) on ending this. I'm optimistic things will get much better in a month or so.

While you're not outright advocating a trading strategy here, what you're suggesting is dangerous if you're not talking about the downsides to shorting.

Do not, I repeat, do not attempt a short without understanding all the risks.

When you buy a stock for $10, the most you can lose when that stock goes to zero is $10. In theory, when you short a stock at $10, your loss is infinite as the stock goes up higher and higher. In practice, your broker will most likely force you to cover that short long before that. Just know that the loss can be big and fast.

You should apply strategies you are most comfortable with and please do your research before attempting anything besides a long term buy and hold of index funds.
If the market drops by 50%, e.g. from 20,000 to 10,000, it will need to increase by 100% from that point in order to recover (from 10,000 back to 20,000).

That's exactly why it's not really that good of a time to buy just yet. There's a chance we have a long ways to go and you'll probably run out of cash if you keep buying down the slide. We bought some on the crash last week but now it's just a waiting game to see how low it's going to bottom out.

Maybe you can rent a sod remover machine? I've seen those rented out for ~40 USD per day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Qd33NhflQ

With those machines it's more comfortable then the spade method [0], especially if the area is larger. After the sod is removed (you can put it on the compost with the bottom up to regain good soil for future uses) pour sand onto the area and mix it in. This will remove nutrients from the soil which is what many wildflowers like.

Then throw out your wildflower seeds which you need to press on afterwards (there are tools, but as a cheap method you can just walk over them), so that the wind doesn't blow them away. In the end water them (also for the next 2-4 weeks).

If you think people are worried when stock prices are falling, imagine what happens when they all go to zero. That's what happens when you close the markets: stocks can't be sold and thus have an effective value of zero.

Much of the fall so far is bringing prices back to reasonable levels after a record-setting bull market. Not that that's especially fun news; between that and a genuine recession coming up, a lot of people will lose a lot of money. But it means that, as scary as this is, it may also be necessary, and even beneficial. (In the "long run", that is, and in the "big picture". Still sucks for a whooooole lot of people for a very long time.)
Just one data point: in the US recently (but before COVID-19) I called around and the best I could do was about an eight week wait to see a GI specialist. So that's apparently comparable to the Canadian average, but in Canada it's free.

This is an extremely common misconception.

I'm Australian, took about five years to get Permanent Residency for Canada. I've been working on Citizenship for about three, still ongoing.

On all my application forms my country of origin has nothing to do with anything. My application process would have been identical if I were from Turkey or Mali or the Congo. (unless I was claiming refugee status, which is entirely different)

I still had to take an English test, even though my application was sponsored through a company that had been employing me as an Engineer for two years already, and my Engineering degree is from Australia.

Commonwealth countries do get a bit a good deal with work visas for Canada, but for residency and citizenship it doesn't change a thing.

The first read I had on this (which sounds like it's not correct based on other posts) is that it's a simply-extensible frontend for creating portals from a series of disparate frontends of existing systems.

In our case, I might want to use that to create a frontend for QA to see relevant information summaries from GitLab, build information from Jenkins, and current test plan status from our integration testing system.

For managers, I might want a frontend that shows them activity on certain branches of certain repos, the number of open merge requests/change orders, and the % of progress towards a milestone.

I hope I'm right, because that could be super useful.
If we are very lucky the epidemic will not even be peaking yet in the US two months from now. If it has, we are looking at catastrophic losses of life. More likely the noose will not be loosened for 9-12 months. It’s gone too far to be contained and can only be slowed until a vaccine is widely deployed. The economic damage is incalculable.

This is a really interesting video. I'm not sure how accurately it represents the situation on the ground in China, of course. But the video shows a society with temperature checks at every place of business, a location-tracking system, an isolation system, and a number of other precautions.

It's a picture of a society on a war footing, certainly. But people aren't locked in their apartments, and the hospital system isn't collapsing under its own weight.

So far, this is the most optimistic answer I've seen to "What comes after total lockdown but before a vaccine?"
I think a lot could also be aimed not at seniors in rest homes, but seniors in congress, even on both sides of the aisle. Corona Virus and death in general doesn't differentiate by wealth or class, it comes for all equally if given a chance.

Math: 30% drop means going from 100 to 70. Now to get back up to 100, you need a 43% gain (30/70).
Market has been hot so far this year, so the wise thing to do has been to slowly trim holdings for cash - i.e. up to 30% of your portfolio - so that you can buy on the dip. The correction has been a long time coming but the pandemic is making it even worse.
I'm going to trickle cash in to total market index funds each week going forward. I'll just keep adding on the way down.

UK bans parallel export and hoarding of three Covid-19 drugs

By GlobalData Healthcare
SHARE
The UK government has banned the parallel export and “hoarding” of three drugs being used to treat coronavirus patients in China in anticipation of shortages in Britain following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The export of the US-based AbbVie’s Kaletra / Aluvia, a combination lopinavir and ritonavir, the generic drug chloroquine phosphate and the generic drug hydroxychloroquine is being restricted to meet the needs of UK patients, the government said.

Hydroxychloroquine was placed on the restricted list from 14 March and Kaletra and chloroquine phosphate were added on 26 February.

I would like the framework to stay up to date with new features. With every .NET framework so far after a few years you stop getting any updates and all new development happens on the new platform. This gets really tiring after a while.
A very important part of the public discourse is how many tests can conducted and at what cost.

For something with a long incubation period and potentially mild symptoms (ie, infected might not go to a hospital) only widespread statistical sampling will give a reliable picture of what is happening.

When I heard countries talking about 'testing criteria' that involved travel - I think this was in mid/late February - it seemed inevitable that things were going to drift out of control. There was no way that would pick up the mild inbound cases that could spread to become clusters. It probably developed that way because actual monitoring programs were infeasible but it'd be nice to know.
I can't speak for the GP but:

I'm reasonably "indifferent" in the sense that I am not at all worried for my safety or the safety of my child.

> the legal reason in the first column

In GDPR terms, the "Legal Basis" is one of the following six values[1]:

Vital Interest
Public Benefit
Legal Obligation
Performance of Contract
Legitimate Interest
Consent

"Accounting" is not a Legal Basis.

Several might apply, including Legal Obligation, Performance of Contract, Consent, or Legitimate Interest. Stating the Legal Basis for processing is one of the requirements under the Right to Transparency[2]. Among other things, the Legal Basis affects other rights the Data Subject has. E.g. the Right to Erasure is much stronger for data collected under Consent than Legal Obligation.

On the face of it, it looks to me that Brave has a point: Google is not complying with some (frankly, rather simple) transparency requirements.

Also, The Economist has really great English. Despite being quite well-known for using very obscure words now and then the bulk of its writing is very clear, with succinct sentences and everyday words (they often use words like "stuff" in exactly the same way as spoken English). I don't always agree with its editorial stance but I find its style very enjoyable.

A few of my own home recording tips:

- Use a condenser microphone with a pop filter for vocals

- Use 2 matched condenser mics for acoustic instruments, separated by twice the distance to the instrument, pan them left and right

- Use a dozen cheap foam panels to reduce unwanted room sound (placed closer to the vocals/instrument depending on situation). I tacked mine to a sheet of plywood so that it could be moved around.

- Eat a banana before singing to help improve vocal quality

- It will never sound as good as you want, but the most important thing is the performance. People will put up with imperfect recordings if the performance is good.
