Facebook usage isn’t a good metric. My first post was in 2008 but had been using the internet since the early 1980s.

There was also a rather creative argument based on the Third Amendment (quartering of troops), assuming at least some of the tenants were soldiers.
But the CDC's emergency authority delegated to it by Congress is incredibly broad and puts almost no limits on their powers.
Absolutely. The CCP merely took them as hostages, there should be serious repercussions. I will never visit China on business or otherwise again.
Millions of tons of ammonia are produced every year. It is the favored refrigerant in industrial sites, such as warehouse-sized freezers. We have most of a century's experience handling ammonia in such quantities.

But ammonia is probably a better choice for fueling trains and ships than for aircraft.
What are you not sold on?
The rental market is local, not national.

You could evict a ton of people in say Seattle, be extra strict about who you rent to next and still have no problem finding tenants.

And that’s what’s happening. In the past, landlord’s knew they had a formal eviction process to rely on if rent wasn’t paid. Now they are assuming that’s either unavailable or severely delayed, so they adjust who they rent to. Marginal tenant? Leave the place empty for a month and wait for someone better.

So not necessarily rents going up, but much more strict criteria for renting in the first place, which reduces supply (at least for certain demographics).
You are forgetting about the (often ignored) Tenth Amendment.

Why not? To what would Congress would limit the authority then, if not to what it explicitly says they are allowed to? I mean, there must be some limits on what CDC is allowed to do based on that statue, as it would be completely absurd to expect that Surgeon General gets all powers of federal government limited only by what “may be necessary in his judgment”. So, if there are some limits, why not understand those in terms of what that very section explicitly lists?
The key is to not allow them to anchor your comp. Which leads right back to rule #1: never be opening.
This does follow. If we assume luxuries to be non-essentials "in general", then yes, it makes sense to me.

The income for those renting and not able to make rent regardless of what they save, wouldn't match adjusted price hikes regardless.

Maybe we are in two different ball parks.
"Investment Firms Aren’t Buying All the Houses. But They Are Buying the Most Important Ones."

Let’s focus on Invitation Homes, a $21 billion publicly traded company that was spun off from Blackstone, the world’s largest private equity company, in 2017. Invitation Homes operates in 16 cities, with the biggest concentration in Atlanta, where it owns 12,556 houses. (Though that’s not much compared with the 80,000 homes sold in Atlanta each year, Invitation Homes bought 90 percent of the homes for sale in some ZIP codes in Atlanta in the early 2010s.) While normal people typically pay a mortgage interest rate between 2 percent and 4 percent these days, Invitation Homes can borrow money for far less: It’s getting billion-dollar loans at interest rates around 1.4 percent. In practice, this means that Invitation Homes can afford to tack on an extra $5,000 to $20,000 to the purchase price of every home, while getting the house at the same actual cost as a typical homeowner. While Invitation Homes uses a mixture of debt and cash from renters to buy houses, its offers are almost always all cash, which is a big leg up in a competitive market....

Sagan's quote doesn't apply; Sagan also didn't invest time in baseless claims. If you told Sagan you had a theory of chemical composition of Saturn but had no basis, Sagan wouldn't continue the conversation. Sagan would (I imagine) want to hear novel theories based on evidence and solidly reasoned. And if you said you have no basis, but will believe it unless Sagan proved otherwise ...

Sagan also didn't write in an age of massive disinformation and misinformation. It's one of the critical issues of our time; it's important to do something about it, which includes pointing it out when it's happening.
I was explaining that there is no "government branch", but as someone else pointed out that may have just been a translation error.

What you say about spending is correct. And, yeah, the differences between the legislative and executive branches are important and more than technicalities.

I wouldn't say the executive branch is under "stricter rules" than the legislative branch. It just has different rules and different responsibilities.

The legislative branch creates laws.
The executive branch enforces/executes laws.
The judicial branch makes sure those laws are constitutional and identifies their limits/scope.

Of course there is some gray area as congress likes to give some of its powers to the executive branch so that they can say "that wasn't my idea" to unpopular ideas.

Rather than make a law that says "forget about all that rent from last year" they would more likely make a law that says "someone in the executive branch has the power to say: forget about all that rent"

The other route would be for the judicial branch to say the executive branch already has that power... But they just said it doesn't.

And that's how the wheel of government turns... In the US
You seem to be the expert in condescension.

There was an inquisitive part of the question, but also part that was just misinformation, and the latter was unnecessary to the former.

It's no longer an extraordinary circumstantial claim. It might never have been because this kind of research that very well could cause a COVID pandemic was being concealed by the very people that decided very early that there was no question the origin was natural. They were performing risky and highly similar research and they made huge contradictory statements that conflict with this leaked evidence, and they are very well connected to each other. You are going to need extraordinary reasons why these people don't deserve an investigation into what they had been doing and what they did know that wasn't being shared.

Home wireless is great for low-end users. My mother is on a 4G wireless service for her home phone and internet, with a price lower than what she'd pay for the equivalent copper/fibre service. While I certainty would never want to use 4G wireless for my own home internet, I can see why it is a great value proposition for those who just need email and the occasional FaceTime call.

It also helps that existing cellular telcos already have heaps of 4G towers so customers are likely to be near one and get a good service (and in any case carriers usually don't provide fixed wireless services in areas where their network suffering from capacity issues). My mother incidentally lives right across the road of her serving cell site which makes the service even more reliable and speedy for her--and even if that was not the case, her carrier has been deploying hundreds of new 4G sites each year in our small 5 or so million population country so the service is improving all the time across the entire country. So there is a nice double win -- on one hand mobile subscribers benefit from much better capacity and improved coverage (much of which wouldn't have happened if it was not for fixed wireless) while on the other hand people now have more options for their home/fixed internet.

I was previously a skeptic of fixed wireless--but having seen how well it works for low end fixed wireless users while also improving things for mobile customers as well I am now entirely in favor of it. Fibre will still be the best option for high end users (such as >99% of the HN audience) and I can't see it going away anytime soon. There's too many families, small businesses, student flats, etc for which fibre would continue to be more cost effective option for the speed and QOS provided.
Regardless of constitutionality or practicality of that approach, to even try it, government would have to pass a law to that effect. The most important part of the entire debacle was that it did not in fact do so, instead it attempted a ridiculous administrative sleight of hand, which was completely illegal.
You've eloquently buried in there a number of problems. But I would like to make one change to what you just mentioned: it's not that politicians only listen if you represent a group of people. Politicians listen to power and money, first and foremost (and not always in that order). Everything else is secondary.

That you're on a website that is designed against incentivizing collective action, and yet tries to pass itself off as a bastion of, well, let's call it practical and realistic rhetoric most of the time, is part of the problem. You're not going to find collective action anywhere because the moment you do, "they" are going to insert themselves into the collective to try to sabotage and break apart. "They" have decades worth of experience at it and don't mind killing people left and right, either.

The actionable advice, for this community, would be to put all that great intelligence together and try to come up with a way to subvert whatever opposition would stand in the way of a collective action. I don't know if there's money in it so sadly it probably couldn't be a YC backed start up. Quite the contrary - the money would most likely try to kill you, but nevermind that.

This should be easy to sort out for many landlords. See who was still employed and yet didn't pay rent.

Prospective future landlords should be able to tell this easily when they do a credit check. Good luck ever renting again! And if the landlord sues for the rent owed, and the person was still employed and making the same salary, many tenants will get a judgement against them.

I think in the future, landlords will only deal with two types of tenants -- those who paid rent during the pandemic, and those on Section 8.
It's amazing how after all that work they leave it to some uncaring, overworked and underpaid people to actually give it to those who need the medication. Resulting in many not getting any.
The CDC’s interpretation puts the law in contention with the 5th amendment. It’s a lot more reasonable for SCOTUS to rule that the CDC exceeded the law than it is to evaluate the constitutionality of the law based upon the CDC’s new interpretation.

Macs "safe sleep" --- when they sleep, they save a hibernation/ram state too. So if the battery is depleted, they still do not shut down.

I'm probably going back to MacOS after my current Windows 10 machine, because too many annoyances have shown up (and now ESC keys exist again).
Occam's razor. You're trying to ignore the elephant in the room - the vaccine is the cause of hospitalizations.
One of the dissenting opinions (Sotomayor, I think?) stated that the CDC is allowed to do things like quarantines, and therefore something more benign like an eviction moratorium ought to be allowed too. I found that logic pretty convincing that the Trump-appointed justices were in the wrong. But, right and wrong don't really matter -- just winning.

This is illegal in Seattle. Basically impossible to enforce, but illegal all the same. You are supposed to take the first renter that qualifies and passes a standard pre-screen - not with in-depth looks like that.

Funny, here in coastal socal lately I have been hearing women refer to each other as "dude" or "bro" or "man" sometimes even more often than I hear men do it

(And I have yet to see any guys get called out or corrected for saying "dude" or even "man" casually to a woman. Though that this is somewhat contextual)

Further, I think everyone should give good pause and thought as to whether or not they really want "west coast, social justice types" to dictate acceptable mores
I'm pretty sure that eviction for non-payment of rent does not relieve the renter of the debt that they owe.

I was thinking like the headline until I witnessed that a government seized assets of thousands and left them pennyless in a very short time. After coup attempt in Turkey, 1.5 million people are investigated with accusation of being a member of armed terrorist organization (population of Turkey is ~80 million). Lots of people who could run away found their assets were frozen, and eventually legally or illegally seized. All of a sudden they were poor. Were they kept some of their assets in Bitcoin, they could easily move them out of the country. Yes, the state can still go after them but it becomes much more difficult. This alone is sufficient for me to "invest" a percentage of my assets in Bitcoin in case something bad happens. Yes, it is unlikely but anything that makes a state stronger bully should be done.

Is this the next housing bubble?

Deferred rent payments by tenant, and deferred mortgage payments by debtors means if tenants and owners get liquidated we'll see a flood of properties hit the market, driving down prices. Thusfar the bottom has fallen out due to covid, and the whole system has been propped along by the eviction moratorium, leading to the final hobbling days of the bubble....?

Someone may have come up with that theory, but 10 years ago there was an analysis that suggested he slept between 6am and 11am GMT, which fits best with a US timezone.[0]

There is other timestamp evidence linking him to the US, but a recent analysis suggests that the totality of the data (including Satoshi's use of British/Commonwealth spelling, vernacular, and date format) indicate he was based in London or the UK.[1]

They are reasonably reliable. I am by no means a regular or even occasional reader, but it is very difficult to find left biased news sources covering this lab leak story with any degree of honesty and professionalism. You can verify the claims in this particular article by visiting the Twitter feed of the Professor they mention.
Also cars. The bus line is the only public transportation in my city. They went from being so full you may have to wait for the next bus to almost empty.

I've also noticed a lot of people got 'new' cars (financed I'm sure), and are letting their old ones collect dust rather than selling them.

I'm guessing a lot of stuff is going to wind up being sold here shortly.
"Zero evidence", huh? The epicenter of Covid-19 was the middle of a major metropolitan city (instead of a rural area near lots of animals), blocks away from a major virology lab which was specifically studying these viruses, collecting hundreds of wild strains from field operations, in research DARPA said before the fact endangers the local community and was banned by NIH, trying to specifically create this virus as closely as possible for the research to be successful...

It's like seeing smoke billowing out of a building and refusing to accept that there's a fire until you see the flames. Very convenient that your standard of evidence surpasses anything we can possibly obtain after the CCP scrubbed everything.
They move out and go live somewhere else, usually. This might sometimes lead to spread of the disease, if the eviction just so happens to happen during the time when the tenants are infectious. But, as it happens, there are other ways these tenants might spread the disease, like going to work, meeting family or friends (typically the very same ones they will move in with when they get evicted), eating at restaurants, riding a bus, or generally living their normal life. These are much more likely to contribute to spread, and, as does not require mention, these activities haven’t been burdened with year+ long moratorium. The idea that evictions have anything beyond superficial impact on spread of the disease just beggars belief.

> You need to research lightening network for bitcoin if you think that sounds cheaper. I'm sorry, but that's just easily not the case.

Any in-network payID transaction is 0-fees. Whilst lightning does occasionally have negative fees, the fluctuation of Bitcoin means that the fees aren't cheaper in the end.

> 80% of the world is not more accessible when the alternative is practically 100% of the world.

Anywhere with a relationship with Mastercard or Visa is more accessible to most people _today_. Because they absolutely would have to generate or convert fiat to end up with Bitcoin, but have to do absolutely nothing to make use of payID.

You can come back and use that argument if Bitcoin turns around and becomes the defacto currency, but otherwise it falls short. Most people today, have to do nothing to use payID. They have to do something, to use Bitcoin.

> edit: I'm googling and apparently payID isn't even international. This isn't really even a comparison. I don't know why you believe otherwise.

Because it's a set of banking protocols that are international. [0][1][2][3][4][5]
