Something else to consider is that while a person may die while having COVID-19, it does not mean that is all that they died from. People in general may have several health problems, which is especially likely for an 80+ year old person. Some healthcare activities have also been postponed since the outbreak, by the patients and also the hospitals, which may have led to less healthy people.

> Their address is in a residential area, and the lot there (Mathews Manor) seems to be cursorily chosen.

Actually, two of their team have the last name Mathews.

Convention in Europe is to mention the 'before taxes' number. To the best of my knowledge that is true for at least western Europe.

> That's a huge exaggeration. In what other field can a bright kid take a 12 week bootcamp and get a job that pays $80k?

They did specify "outside of a couple of tech giants in the USA". Here in Europe, €30K would already be a good starting salary. Personally, 10 years in, I don't expect to reach €80k.

I don't understand why this is being downvoted. There is no negativity in the message.

I find it amazing how many different software development frameworks are out there. After all these years I still haven't bothered to look up what React is, and I probably will never need to. I will probably never get to maintain a codebase that uses it. So if being 'up-to-date' isn't something I will go for, how do I measure myself as a developer? I think I will go for something like 'having made a lot more regular people happy than I have frustrated'.

FYI: The images don't show up on Firefox 60.7.2esr (which is the version that Debian carries).

Their app has push capability, as far as I know that has been used as well.

They have a very wide reach.

An alternative number has been spread through the national broadcasting association (the publicly funded tv, radio and web news).

Facebook and Twitter are social media companies. I don't think they count as technology companies the way i.e. a company that creates water purifiers and solar panels and such are a technology company. And those products are made in many countries other than the USA.

For me, Firefox on Debian, the only working shortcut is the Menu (which is not actually a menu in the normal UI sense, more like a menu in a restaurant). Shortcuts are always difficult with web apps. For this reason, I would always add an actual clickable menu to web apps.

It seems unfortunate that there are no author names on the Economist articles. One's work deserves recognition.

There is a thin line between bold statements that lack nuance, and plain lies.

Order of events are relevant. It is important to know how he ended up in Russia in the first place, long before this asylum. And was declining the asylum really an option?
