I doubt Apple or Bill Gates have very many incriminating Twitter DMs. Kanye is a non-factor, nobody serious cares what a, respectfully, manic-depressive is DMing about.

Elon Musk might have some suspect DMs, but honestly I think his crazy Twitter behavior is priced into TSLA already.

You think the FBI and SEC couldn't get a warrant, look through 10000 people's trading activity and have a list of 100 most likely suspects within a single day?

No Amazon generally does not provide you a company phone, at least not when I was there.

That isn't what OP was talking about, but to answer your separate question--in Seattle you have unarmed people who pushed some concrete blocks into the street, in Oregon you had well armed people occupying a federal building.

Like this scenario in 2016 that ended when the last far-right occupiers of a national wildlife refugee left after 6 weeks?.

isn't most text you'll see nowadays going to be printed and standardized? I can't remember the last time I read a handwritten anything, aside from my own notes.

Just because they've cut these projects or they're not generating revenue today doesn't mean they don't "need" them. What if the economy tanked in 2007 and Amazon decided to dissolve AWS?

The average American didn't (and probably doesn't) distrust their government on anywhere near the same visceral level as someone living in the soviet union.

In North America are non-supermarkets and non-warehouses even 5% of grocery retail? I think that restaurants being allowed to sell groceries would've been cool. But I don't see how mom and pop grocers move the needle at all here.

In the live address they said that most implementations will be left to the county and local govts. The state isn't giving any specific guidance on masks, for example, leaving that to specific locales.

Does anyone have any tips for the "micro" lulls? I'm a professional programmer of 5 years. Back in December I was floating high, feeling so empowered and at the top of my powers. Now I feel just meh. Opening an IDE, writing tests, etc, all feel like a drag.

1. It's old people AND people with comorbidities, which is a ton of people.

2. Lots of old people, which for Covid is about 65, still work full time jobs. Some of them fly every week. These aren't 95+ year olds.

3. I'm sure people of all ages think their life is very valuable, and very few people consider themselves candidates for sacrifice. Certainly not for privacy concerns.

4. 10x deadlier than the flu.
