Being bankrupted by a landlord also comes with other problems.

The biggest expense renters typically have is ..... rent. And for many businesses it’s a major expense too.

Governments are desperately coming up with financial support packages for what? To give to landlords?

I think most landlords are wealthy people who are easily placed to weather this financial crisis.

By definition if you are wealthy enough to own property beyond one house then you’re wealthy enough to survive this.

And if you can’t afford to, then sell it and suffer like all the other real business owners are suffering.

Why should landlords be a protected species in all this?

The name is too generic. Think searchability.

What was that product name? Screenmaster screenlord turboscreen are all more likely to get potential customers to remember and find you.

It’s a terrible name as is.

You don’t actually want to do the things you think you want to.

Otherwise, you would.

Because money.

So many disclaimers at the top of this about the validity of the information.

No surely a trickle down would work better?

It’s beyond belief that any strategy could even be considered that does not have its primary goal to save as many lives as possible.

Containment attempts that.

“Herd immunity” is an experiment that the UK government is going to carry out on its citizens causing massive loss of life for no good reason at all.

There you go. So unclear communication I got it wrong.

Why in the face of absolute emergency do they communicate in such and understated manner open to ignoring and devaluing by politicians?

They should state with absolute clarity what they think should immediately happen instead of meekly asking two questions.

This does not meet any standard of proof or attribution.

With that it’s just misinformation and should not be here.

With reputable reference sources it might be different.

Sourceforge? Is this an old post?

There just waiting for the death count to jump so they won’t be blamed for taking radical action that will hurt the economy.

The deaths are the cover they need, so action will come in the next few weeks.

That’s going to be the flood that follows fire, disease and presumably famine when crops start failing.

Thumbs up for the 21st century what a corker.

Are you saying HN is all about people providing facts and referencing sources and not opinions?

“Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (N.I.A.I.D.), spoke up. “A vaccine that you make and start testing in a year is not a vaccine that’s deployable,” he said. The earliest it would be deployable, Fauci added, is “in a year to a year and a half, no matter how fast you go.”

Funny that people are downvoting rather than arguing a case why not.

Maybe these are inconvenient truths?

I can’t see why this wouldn’t be the biggest crash for 50 years.

All the other ones were largely human caused and largely controlled by sentiment, and did not cause everyone around the world to avoid contact with everyone else.

This will last until a vaccine is developed which might take 12-18 months and in the meantime many many businesses will die around the world.

The domino effects will be huge. Remember that lots of people and companies are up to their eyeballs in debt, what if that starts to run out of control with bad debt everywhere cause businesses and people are bankrupt?

This is very long term and very damaging to all economies and there’s not really much governments can do to change people’s behaviour.

This one is caused by sentiment, but that sentiment is driven by a virus which is out of human control. Unlike for example a war, which can be controlled by politicians.

Thar’s a big one blowin in, batten down the hatches.

Ok so if there’s a problem, what a solution?

If I use uWSGI is problem gone?

People seem to become really attached to the validation from YC.

Getting into an incubator or getting money from investors is zero measure of business success. Business success is users and growth and revenue.

Whether YC blesses you is also zero reflection on you as a person. Rejection by YC means nothing at all.

I think business is about trying to make money, it’s not about YC and funding and the scene and investment rounds and hyper growth and beers after work and been seen as one of the cool kids.

Head down, work, balanced lifestyle, try to make something small succeed on your own.
