It's pretty funny to watch people try to justify "literal" readings of the text, since they often focus on interpreting just one piece of text and ignore the effects of the analysis on the rest of the text.

The First Amendment very clearly binds only Congress in its literal reading: it begins "Congress shall make no law..." And there is no literal text in any subsequent amendment that might cause incorporation to the states--the Fourteenth Amendment only literally incorporates the Fifth Amendment, and that by literal repetition of the text.

To be honest, the only thing that surprises me is that he hadn’t done this already.
All the comments in response are clear then that it is a question of degree. At x deaths caused, we stop permitting this. That means the discussion is only moved to determining what that threshold x is. And so the right thing is to move past that to find what the cost-benefit analysis is.

My view is that Gresham's Law often serves as a complexity constraint within a selection. process.

Given two (or more) means to some end, the mean with the fewest constraints, lowest cost, or least complexity, all else equal, tends to succeed.

WHO warns that few have developed antibodies to Covid-19
17M is . . . not much? What's the scrap value of this thing? It's gotta be mostly steel. 159,000 tons empty. After some bad math, never mind. Let's go with https://www.ajot.com/premium/ajot-shipbreaking-breaking-badl..., which cays south asian yards are offering 495/ton. That's 78.7 M. Which is a lot higher than 17M. Of course there's environmental and labor and by the time you actually break the thing apart and sell the steel, steel prices may be even lower than they are now. But, it still seems like a good deal no?

EDIT: so that article is dated April 23 2018 and says it goes down to 290/ton, still a profit at that price, but steel is probably a lot lower today. Anyone have better numbers? We could do a group buy and decide whether to scrap or turn it into a party deck (post-COVID parties only).

You don't see buildings that are near collapse and require constant repair and redesign.

When the covid thing is over, have a trip to Sydney Australia. There;s lots of cheaply done buildings here in all states of disrepair. People cheap out on the invisible stuff like correct wiring, correct plumbing and correct foundations.

And in software people cheap out on those same things because they can take the money and run.

You could fix this by making payment for software as 25% upfront with 20% on deliver and then 50% on 18 months of as advertised use.

But no one would ever do that. When Azzure or GC or AWS goes down every 5 years or so for a few hours, everyone gets server credits back for teh interruption and revenue loss.

Facebook's constitutional right to free speech and assembly means they have the right to decide what speech they want to host and what speech they want to censor. The first amendment just means that the government can't throw you in prison for your speech, it doesn't mean you can force private organizations to provide a platform for your speech.

You are ironically and hypocritically violating their free speech rights by demanding that the government force them to host speech against their will. It's equivalent to the government forcing you to put up a yard sign for a candidate you don't support.

NO. THERE IS NOT. Less than 50% of COVID deaths are over 75 years old. That means that more than 50% are under 75. A full quarter of deaths are below 64. These are not people dying anyway. These are not people in nursing homes. These are people like you.

> Gabe: "reading and writing to someones motor-cortex is much more of a tractable problem than making someone feel cold"

This is probably very true, but that doesn't mean that accessing the motor cortex is easy. In prosthetics, the two workable approaches currently are an implanted BCI, or using bits of muscle as 'amplifiers' to turn the motor nerve signals into something that can be read via an external electrode. We're a LONG way from being able to parse an EEG into physical sensations in any practical sense.

Even if they don't go bankrupt, the equity has a much higher risk. The gov't could take massive warrants or preferreds etc. in exchange for needed money. That sort of dilution can be profound. Look at a 10 year chart of AIG. Yahoo chart says all time high was 1971 (by eye), currently trading at 23. Of course the stock was never actually trading at almost 2000/share, that's just the dilution factored in.
How many of these companies even report the bulk of their revenue in the US?

Denmark, etc have this correct - you don't get to ask for government support from countries you avoid paying taxes to.

Do they think people will default on their car loans due to unemployment, then the lender won't be able to repo and sell the car for enough to recover their losses due to low demand for used cars?

Or do they still think they'll make money on their existing loan portfolio, but be unable to roll maturing loans into new loans, because people will put off buying cars?

this and his other positions are so inane that they aren't even worth arguing against anymore. trump is a domestic terrorist, pure and simple, and he is completely despicable. i have been downvoted on hacker news for stating the u.s. is an authoritarian state, and here he and his sycophants continue, completely unchecked by anyone, in this direction. a standing president is using a public health crisis to broadly increase unchecked power in order to secure his re-election. i would not be surprised if his next actions start trying to get rid of the election altogether. all of these actions are disconnecting families, ruining careers and lives, and are also killing people, both immigrants and citizens. trump is throwing the united states under the bus to serve his ego. if this isn't treason, then i don't know what is. everything that has been fought for (woman's rights, minority rights, immigrant rights, checks and balances, openness, etc.) is being completely eroded by the greatest narcissist and sycophantic following the world has ever seen.

i, a u.s. citizen, am at the point where i have no choice but to start considering moving out of the u.s. to rejoin my family. it's at the point that it may be years, if ever, before they're ever allowed to come back to the u.s. and it's likely at least a year before i ever see them again.

I’m surprised this didn’t mention the elephant in the room: the audio quality is terrible. I simply can’t hear half of what is said, even at full volume in a quiet room.

Either I ask for repetition all the time (and walk over whatever the next person said), or I assume it from context and let it go.

Even when I can pick up all the sounds, it’s so different from hearing voice in person that I have to concentrate just to parse the audio into meaning. It’s exhausting.

Cell phone calls are still pretty bad, too. Low bandwidth digital audio compression is just wretched.

No, you have this backwards; snippets don't leech revenue away from news orgs, they enhance their revenue. There have been cases in the past where Google was ordered to stop displaying snippets of certain sites without paying, and media companies immediately started whining about the sharp traffic declines. Complaints about the copyright of snippets is a fig leaf for protection money of the sort they're demanding once again.
