Elon Musk wants to live on Mars and he's been very public about it. Everything he's done has been to further technology to make that possible within his lifetime. He's working hard and betting everything to make it happen.

Jeff Bezos is working to build a "road to space", but he doesn't see the technology for space or planetary colonization being viable for a few generations.

Yes and so that's why the Dutch and others are suggesting that it would be best not to take draconian measures trying to fight infection in those who can easily survive it and use resources to protect those who can't.
Another real cross-party issue is how quick people are to label other people doing their best to make it in complex systems as selfish and immoral.

If you have a $400k mortgage on a $500k asset, and I'm proposing systemic changes to make it worth $250k, you'll end up owing $150k more than it's worth. If something happens and you lose your job, you're screwed. You can sell and refinance and you'll still owe nearly as much every month as the person who bought your newly cheaper house, but now you don't have a house.

It's not about "I got mine, fuck you" so much as "this is my life's savings you're talking about making dramatically smaller" and "I'm super leveraged on this asset."
Lately I've started to use Perl instead of sed for replacing text. Its regex support is much better IMO:

> Le Maire also welcomed a decision by France’s financial markets authority to ban short-selling during trading on Tuesday on 92 French stocks and said the measure could be extended up to a month if necessary.

This is peak retardation by people who do not understand how the economy/markets work. French companies have lost lots of their competitiveness due unions, legal barriers, high taxes, etc... A recession/crisis would force these companies either to shutdown or restructure making them stronger in the future and letting the economy run on its own.

If the government has failed to pass previous reforms, why would they think they'll successfully save these companies?

For context, "sick man of Asia" is up there with the n-word and drawing pictures of Mohammad in terms of its ability to offend a group of people. China has a history of ethnic and national identity that is closely tied to narratives about the superiority of the Chinese people. The late-Qing and 20th century decline of China's stature in the world, particularly to Western barbarians and the historically 2nd-fiddle-playing Japan was a huge blow to this narrative and it left Chinese identity reeling. This "sick man of Asia" was an insult calculated not just to justify imperialist incursions into China, but also to twist this particular knife and break the Chinese people's morale. Since then, China's sense of identity has centered on defending the culture and the people from foreigners who want to make an innately superior people seem inferior out of jealousy and malice. Ever other TV show and movie in China is about fighting and defeating foreigners who call China "sick man of Asia".

Calling China sick man of Asia during a pandemic that started in China (something they were bound to be embarrassed about) makes one think the writers of that piece were trying to get as extreme a reaction as possible from the Chinese side. Honestly, I thought it would be worse.

Here's the sequence of events with Tulsi Gabbard's presidential campaign which is important if you believe in running a fair democracy, my fundamental point here.

Gabbard resigned as a rising star DNC VP in 2016 to endorse Bernie Sanders over Mrs Clinton who had bought the party off with a cash infusion (largely raised by Weinstein) on the agreement she had control of party strategy and messaging, and could include multiple super delegates at the convention.
Congreswoman Gabbard announced her grass roots funded presidential campaign and has run it from a mini van with volunteers, a very small paid staff and ~$1m budget.

Gabbard got great traction - most searched for via Google - in the first two TV show Q & sixty second answer commercial TV 'debates' and destroyed the Harris campaign with her debating skills in November.

Throughout the campaign, and massively increased in 2020, the DNC media has either subsequently ignored her or run negative messaging to undermine her credibility. The DNC knows reform would come if Gabbard got control.

The DNC changed their debate rules to allow 55x billionaire Bloomberg to 'run' and debate as a presidential candidate, spending incredible sums to obliterate Sanders and others before pulling out again.

The corporate puppet candidates Buttigieg, Klobochar (and subsequently Warren afterwards) pulled out just before Super Tuesday - and after tens of thousands had cast their postal ballots - to endorse Biden, the DNC's preferred candidate.
The debate rules were changed again by the DNC after Gabbard won two delegates to exclude her. The only media Gabbard gets coverage on is Fox News and internet shows and podcasts.

There is a massive disinformation campaign she is constantly fighting (Russian asset, Assad and Modi supporter etc) that undermines her fundamental anti war pro diplomacy platform.

My point: if the DNC give hundreds of millions in free positive media coverage to their preferred candidates and blacklist/ blackout positive coverage of other candidates is it any surprise Gabbard has done so badly, or other future and past candidates? Many many people don't even know she is in the presidential race on ballots that still list long suspended campaigns from Harris and others.

The DNC rely on name recognition and positive media messaging to amplify their preferred candidates. This is not democracy or a level playing field.

This reflects the opinions shared by Michael Osterholm, Amesh Adalja, and Nicholas Christakis: a final case mortality of ~0.7%. But just to highlight the point, that's on a strong assumption that critical cases receive proper medical attention. I don't think that's a safe assumption for the outbreak in the United States.
The jurisdictions I'm aware of that have banned dining room service include:

Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, several places in the Bay Area, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, Ohio.

Basically, at this point, whenever a few large jurisdictions announce their intentions to take some coronavirus measures (such as closing schools or closing restaurants), everyone else follows through within 48 hours.

With most of currency being digital, this change of reserve ratio requirements has almost no effect in the way banking and economy works. Added a Wikipedia reference which has more references to empirical studies.

“ Many economists and bankers now realize that the amount of money in circulation is limited only by the demand for loans, not by reserve requirements.”

"I don't really see how friendships and relationships in general don't align with that sort of model. Can you reduce them to purely mathematical transaction values? Of course not."

I have found it useful to survey the existing unix utilities (maybe every several years). I'm no genius but I find things I will use. One way of course is simply to review the names in wherever your system stores manual pages, and read (or skim) those where you don't know what they do, trying out some things, or trying to remember at least where to look it up later when ready to use it. Another is by browsing to https://man.openbsd.org/ , then put a single period (".") in the search field, optionally choose a section (and/or other system, not sure how far the coverage goes), and click the apropos button.
One "side" of the story: literal government propaganda

Totally see your point...
I definitely suspect that might be the case. In order to push back against local public anger, the Chinese government have invested a lot of credibility in the idea that their handling of Covid-19 is a shining model for the rest of the world, but it just doesn't feel like it should work. Exponential growth being what it is, if it failed it'd be possible to remain in denial for a while and cover it up for a while longer but sooner or later...
Suppose you take your $5000 in cash into the bank and deposit it. They put the cash in their vault and credit your account with $5000. Now they have 100% reserves.

Alice, Bob and Carol come into the bank and each take out a $5000 loan. The bank credits each of their accounts with $5000, but there is still only $5000 in their vault, so now they have 25% reserves. As long as the reserve requirement is below 25%, this is fine. If the reserve requirement was 30%, they couldn't make that many loans.

With a 0% reserve requirement, they could loan your $5000 to a million different people and have 0.000001% reserves and still be allowed because 0.000001% is more than 0%. They could send you away and the bank manager could deposit a dollar and they could make unlimited loans from it. They have no use for your money.
One day people are going to look back to today and wonder why we have essentially given a license to print money to a privileged group of people with close to nil accountability. First to central bankers, and now to private bankers (which collect a profit from literally creating money out of thin air and lending it out). Our entire fiat monetary system really is incredibly bizarre and borderline fraudulent when you think about it in close enough detail, and yet it is still seemingly immune from mainstream criticism.

End central banking and you've single-handedly fixed systemic wealth inequality in the United States.
FB has ~2.5B MAUs, so you're talking ~$2.5T. Facebook is worth about $0.5B, but they'd be worth much less than that if they tried to turn the business into cash to distribute. FB doesn't have anywhere near the money you're talking about.

> Doesn't this eliminate the protections from 2008?

No, it doesn't. Broader capital requirements are still in place. This move just removes reserve requirements for certain categories of transaction accounts.
That does not line up with any data collected before.

Is journalist a title that's "officially" bestowed or gained from honestly trying to report the truth, as the journalist best understands it?

There are plenty of cases where the message was contained in the short term, but became public later on to no great consequence.

For example the president maneuvering the US into WW2 would have been a scandal at the time, but after the war WW2 was seen as inevitable so the now pubic records didn’t cause an uproar.

Or the MKUltra declassified documents. If it has come out at the time, it would have been scandalous, but 30 years later it’s seen as not worth pursuing criminal charges, or even stopping similar things from being done in the future.

I'm always a little surprised that so many people never picked up the ability to even do basic cooking.

Of course, as recently as Sunday people like Nunes were telling people it was important to support their local businesses by eating out as if it were their patriotic duty. It might be different now that even Fox and Trump are saying the same thing as the CDC finally.

Maybe not if people literally cannot feed themselves without eating out, though I think that's pretty embarrassing.

Meanwhile Facebook relies heavily on contractors for catering, security, cleaning, and content moderation. The first 3 of these will be severely cut back during the virus as offices are closed.
It's not really about how bad your symptoms get before you can get tested. It's about WHERE you are.

Coronavirus is a virus after all, just like the flu, there is no medication. You can only treat the symptoms, but not the virus itself (as opposed to a bacterial infection where you can attack the bacteria with antibiotics).

So with these undeniable facts it's fairly simple, if your symptoms are so mild that you can cure it out at home without special medical equipment like a ventilator, then you don't need testing. You just have to self isolate yourself for two weeks, get over it and afterwards you are fine and not contagious, so no way of further transmission and therefore no need to test.

If however you develop severe symptopms and need hospitalisation, then they have to test you so they know if they need to isolate you in hospital away from other patiens and protect staff or if you can get a bed amongst everyone else. That is really the only reason.

Your treatment in or outside hospital does not change at all whether you have breathing difficulties because of COVID-19 or any other influenza.

So that is it.
Expensive as they may be, restaurants have terrible margins. James Beard nominated, objectively successful places with >$1M gross are netting the annual income of someone who washes dishes [1].

That's a slippery slope - are we going to go into each business and allow them to be open if they have "effective prevention measures in place"?

Really, this is just "Tesla has more clout in Alameda than most other businesses".
Kind of depends doesn't it? If those propagandists are, say, promoting the disuse of vaccines or that drinking garlic water is a cure for COVID-19 to intentionally harm Americans or the government? What if "journalists" convince a country to do something that's objectively bad for the country? Maybe, idk, Putin shills helping to convince people to vote for Brexit? I guess that's ok?

I don't think it's that clear for a line.
" But it's hard to ignore the fact that in this country, when poor people make mistakes [or, in this case are the victims of circumstance], they typically eat those mistakes. Medical bankruptcies, unable to cover a $500 emergency, etc"

Bailing out these industries out is in essence allowing many people to keep their job.
