throwaway122378··on Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
The majority of employees and google as a whole is more productive. Their stock is up 80% in the last 12 months. Do you have a better indicator of productivity correlated to p&l?
throwaway122378··on Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thing
Anyway to see the UI for people who don’t know anything about code but looking for a investment alternative

I was told this was a conspiracy /s
throwaway122378··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
In a group chat one friend asked if they’ve heard about Parler.

Another responded “Yeah it’s a new app for right wing circle jerk”

That alone is the reason Parler exist. Anything that goes against the views of the liberal left is automatically deemed trash/conspiracy.

throwaway122378··on Why we are suing the Administration
I'm sick of this response. These social media companies individually can reach billions of people with the ability (proven) to sway their thoughts and emotions (see Facebook, WHO, Reddit). Free speech must apply to public forums like this

Well there goes me buying any ADT security products
throwaway122378··on After 100K Covid-19 cases, it’s clearer where Californians are getting infected
We’re talking about Mid March. Mortality by age was well known by then.
throwaway122378··on The nightmare that colleges face this fall
I’d love to hear your argument for doing anything other than opening up back to normal (not the new normal) while the elderly and at risk continue staying at home (in addition to anyone that feels more comfortable staying home).
throwaway122378··on Twitter tags Trump tweet with fact-checking warning
And how about this https://www.localdvm.com/news/west-virginia/mail-carrier-cha...

It’s come to a point that even the general public is aware that certain democrats are willing to lie, ignore the truth, or flat out say “it doesn’t matter” just to gain power.

Thanks for proving my point all by yourself
throwaway122378··on Twitter tags Trump tweet with fact-checking warning
Thanks for picking on specifics. The evidence is clear and endless. Mail in voting is susceptible to more fraud. Period.

throwaway122378··on TikTok has recently traded at valuations of $105-110B on private markets
> Assume that anything you say on Zoom or TikTok could be made available fairly readily to the Chinese government and that they will leverage control of TikTok for whatever reason they want, consistent with their overall geopolitical strategy.

Don’t have to assume. It is made

throwaway122378··on TikTok has recently traded at valuations of $105-110B on private markets
> It's a serious issue that 'old economy' Trump is nowhere close to understanding.

Politics aside Trump is the first US President to stand up to China.

The question is will US corporations do the same?

throwaway122378··on Spotify signs ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ to an exclusive multi-year deal
Any ideas on how much the deal was for?
throwaway122378··on Google deletes “communist bandits” from comments on Youtube
> “I can't fathom how private companies still think that they can make the CCP happy AND their western customers”

It’s easy. The amount of profits that can be made from China’s 800M and growing middle class is worth the hit of westerners forming a negative opinion. Westerners will forget over time just like everything else.

throwaway122378··on One Billion People Will Suffer from “Unliveable” Heat Within 50 Years
I don’t believe it’s fake. The earth’s climate has been changing since the plant was created, without humans. It’ll change regardless of what we do. Do you think humans could have prevented the ice age by using plastic straws?

My beef with the media is the pointless fear mongering

Remember when an entire community was wiped off Reddit because of their political views
throwaway122378··on Update to L.A.'s stay-at-home orders
Downvoted for the truth? What is this Reddit? Go look at all of IHME’s predictions and the actual numbers. Way off.
throwaway122378··on NY launches live dashboard of each regions progress hitting 7 reopening criteria
Literally downvoted for explaining the filth that a contact tracer is
throwaway122378··on Update to L.A.'s stay-at-home orders
I hope your right. Lots of people waking up to the lies we’ve been told
throwaway122378··on Update to L.A.'s stay-at-home orders
No where in the article are any mention of the methods or statistics used by PUBLIC officials to make this decision. No mention about California’s or LA County’s current infections (68,000) and or deaths (3,000).

Relative to the stats, this is a tyrannical power grab by the public officials of a state with the population of more than 40,000,000.

throwaway122378··on Update to L.A.'s stay-at-home orders
Newsom is playing a win/win. Close it down and go deeper in the red and force the federal government to pay out.

1) Federal govt pays, he wins 2) Federal govt doesn’t pay, he blames the chaos on the federal govt. He wins

This guy needs to be removed from office for gambling with peoples lives

throwaway122378··on Update to L.A.'s stay-at-home orders
IHME’s projections have been extremely inaccurate so you can’t take that one and throw it out
throwaway122378··on NY launches live dashboard of each regions progress hitting 7 reopening criteria
You’re incorrect. Figures were doubling in the first few weeks because testing was ramping up. More testing = more infected. And this may be a shock to you but the virus didn’t come to NY or the state in March or Feb. It’s been around since December if not earlier. Govt officials believed those projections and prepped the Javits center and brought in that Navy hospital. Cuomo begged for ventilators that he already had and forced elderly back into their assisted care homes.

What’s happening here has nothing to do with health or safety.

throwaway122378··on NY launches live dashboard of each regions progress hitting 7 reopening criteria
It’s just that. People who will manually trace an infected persons contacts and force them to “Self” quarantine
throwaway122378··on Elon Musk reopening Tesla factory despite Alameda County order
Good for him. We should be allowed to reopen as easily as we were forced into our homes for 3 months.
throwaway122378··on The disease-induced herd immunity level for Covid-19 is lower than the classical
Oh. That’s been known for weeks now. Best strategy by far
