    He rang the bell at the top of the dot-com era, selling AOL to the idiots at TW who didn’t realize its best days we’re behind it.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Switching AOL from a proprietary network to the internet seems like such an obvious thing to do from our current time. I remember it as kind of a bold move back then.

      Of course it helped lead to the end of AOL dominance, still it let the company die a slower death.

        It did, and I remember how big a deal it was for them at the time.

        The clowns at TW didn’t have a mental model of how AOL fit with ‘the internet’ and they bought a dying property thinking they were investing in the future.

        I remember people were pissed at Steve Case after it fell apart. But he was a genius. He sold high.

          Seems like RT.live made a big model update yesterday which has improved some numbers too.

              Let's hope the new numbers are accurate - that would be great news.

                About a week~10 days ago, we got down to only two states having R values above 1.

                As of this morning, there are nine states with R values above 1.

                  Is the goal to keep the R value below 1? It’s going to spread as we open up. Do you want to keep the country in lockdown?

                    I've noticed that trend as well.

                    Do you think it has anything to do with "re-opening," or is it a factor of having more positives because of testing?

                        The goal was to flatten the curve.

                        We did that weeks ago.

                        Mission accomplished.

                        Since then the goal depends mostly on your hate level for the president.

                                Flatten the curve, not eradicate the virus. It's always been about not overwhelming the medical system.

                                        Exactly. Suddenly everyone is moving the goalpost. It would be great if we could stop the spread completely, but the cost is likely too high, and that wasn’t the goal in the first place.
