This is likely to be all-stock and I see headlines coming in now saying that as well.


Wow, interesting. huge implications for understanding family sociology


Googling for recipes drove me to install ad-blocker. Have to say I never considered how google created recipe card featured snippets -- cool stuff!


It's an important question whether we want to live in a world where government has power to close access to beaches, and everything else.


Given that a government is a monopoly on the legal use of force, governments (all of them) tautologically have this power. Whether they would choose to use it in any given situation is a different matter.

Personally I do if it collectively puts us all in danger. The non-compliance as a society extends the pain for all. China showed forced compliance allowed it to largely go away in a short period of time.


Assuming you can trust their numbers.


Even if you can't, our many layers of gov (local, state, fed) have issued stay-at-home guidelines for a reason. Violation of them just causes more cases, which extends the issuance. Now we're having to deal with a demand to return to open up, which will of course come with increases cases. The total numbers would be far lower with compliance to the original ordinances.

I see across the street from me many people in a park daily despite signs everywhere saying 'Closed due to COVID.' The selfishness is maddening.


I wonder how 10-50 person startups companies will handle the move back to working in the office, and how much more bullish they'll be than Big Tech


Work at a startup of about 70 - so just slightly larger than your ask. M n of 1 data is that we're out until Labor Day, for all of the same reasons as the big boys


same :( rough thing to happen on launch day


It's not being launched, and it's not a product to begin with. The Wikipedia pages that another commenter posted are helpful, in any case.


agreed, the lower fixed costs of ripping up roads and driveways to install is key for understanding the benefits of 5G
