tren-hard··on Japan to fund firms to shift production out of China
I don't think the citizens of Japan should fund that. If Japan wants manufacturing in their country and it isn't appealing enough on its own then it should be done through regulation, not tax payer subsides.
tren-hard··on Redux – Not Dead Yet (2018)
> Is Redux dead, dying, deprecated, or about to be replaced? No.

Reading through the comments it sounds like it's struggling, even positing the question sews doubt. I thought redux was still one of the 'must have' tools for building react apps now.

What has everyone been migrating to? Is there a consensus successor to Redux?

So Japanese companies move operations to China because it's cheaper, leaving Japanese jobs behinds. Those businesses profit from cheap labor, emissions, and materials. Now Japan is subsidizing their return to Japan with $2.2 billion.

I really hope the US doesn't adopt this (narrator: they will). It's a slap in the face to tax payers.

tren-hard··on Fed to buy junk bonds, lend to states in fresh virus support
Is a pure political move? At least watching the daily WH meetings this seems to be priority numero uno. Doesn't this cause more problems in the long run propping up businesses that can't survive two months without a bailout, err loan?

> Loan sizes will range from $1 million to $150 million.

$150 million is obviously no longer about protecting employee payrolls like these business relief loans started out with.

tren-hard··on Covid-19: death rate is 0.66% and increases with age, study estimates
One article I read recently brought up a topic on how unreliable testing and confirming the dead are currently that to get a more accurate count we should look at year over year deaths. This could be broken down to compare deaths in a county the last x years in March to this year.

To me it makes sense I suppose, yoy is a pretty common tool. But I'm just a reader, so perhaps it is not correct

tren-hard··on Three free meals available daily for any New Yorker
I can vouch for this, having grown up on 'food stamps' as well as most of friends it really isnt enough for a family.

A few times as an adult I've also fallen on hard times and used snap benefits, it was enough for me as a single guy who can cook and knows to eat cheaply, but its hard and not fun.

However where I lived you need a mailing address to get benefits so when I was really down and I was homeless I got no benefits.

That's why this meal program in NYC is so great, it says right at the bottom there is no need for registration, it's actually accessible to everyone.

One of those things I wish could out last this virus.

We'd be so much better off as a society if we could at least keep our people fed.

The comments in here seem a little negative currently but this is great news. Think of all the people in NYC who didn't have access to clean and regular food before the virus.
