Right, but if you read the article, they are asymptomatic with signs of lung damage and probably neurological damage as well from other studies on covid coming out from multiple sources. They are going to suffer long term consequences from Florida's general ignorance. There is no treatment yet, but if your child isn't infected and you have the means, then you should leave Florida and go to a state where they are smarter about social distancing and safety.


> they are asymptomatic with signs of lung damage and probably neurological damage as well from other studies on covid coming out from multiple sources.

Some of this research is rather worrisome. But it's important to not overstate what it says: we find evidence of lung damage in imagery of a small proportion of asymptomatic adults. (I'm not aware of any imaging study of asymptomatic children).

How significant these imagery findings are, what proportion is from COVID-19 (because if you image a bunch of people without COVID-19 you're going to find some weird things in imagery, too), and what proportion of adults infected would have this are unknown (even the asymptomatic adults who manage to get a positive test result and enroll in an imaging study are not typical). Let alone knowing how common this would be in children.


Do you have citations for those studies?


Considering the novel coronavirus somehow jumped over the Pacific Ocean, I reckon modern man's unprecedented mobility might be part of the problem. In light of that, panic flight might not be policy we should embrace. But then again, I hear Wyoming is great this time of year.


You're using winblows, you gave up your rights as a user already.


Pretty much. Closed source at it's core for people that can't be bothered with freedom and don't mind being lab rats.


Don't arrest them, just fine them an obscene amount to make it unsustainable for them to stay open with the extra cost.

Do that, and they'll move the factory. Tesla already pay an obscene amount of money in taxes. ...oh, and fines are tax deductible.


Needs 4 wheels to be considered a car. Nice trike though.


The Daihatsu Midget and the Reliant Robin would both like a word.


npm build does work for this on osx and neither does the website... what a busted app. How did this make it to front of hacker news?


Sorry about that; the app is hosted on glitch and they seem to be having some problems serving apps right now, so it’s not something I can fix :(


It's really not your fault. It's really okay if people don't get instant gratification.


Same money running a fast food joint? You're underpaid bro or you know some crazy overpaid fast food managers. People from science based fields are coming to computer science because those other fields lack job opportunities at competitive pay.


I believe OP means running a fast food joint as the owner, not a manager employee.

Granted I don't know anything about that business, a quick google search comes up with an article from 2015 saying running a McDonald's provides an average annual profit of $150k so it sounds about in the right ballpark range: https://www.mymoneyblog.com/mcdonalds-franchise-cost-vs-prof...


McDonald’s franchise owners make $500k to $1 million a year, in average. That’s profit, not revenue.

My source is from the McDonald’s franchise disclosure documents. The money blog mentioned in sibling comments claim it’s less.


According to this random quora link: https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-McDonalds-make-in-a-day the average McDonald's unit in the USA has $2,670,320 in annual sales. 25% - 40% profit margin sounds really high for a restaurant, but I don't know enough about the industry to dispute it. Are you sure those numbers were presented as averages and not the high end of what you could make? Or does the typical owner have multiple locations?


My source was this pdf: https://www.bluemaumau.org/sites/default/files/MCD%202013%20...

Very possible I skimmed and may have read it incorrectly, accounting is not my thing. As I have now reached the maximum amount of effort I'm willing to put into a forum comment, I'm not going to dig any further. But if you can tease out better information, I'd be curious to know.


From the document... Across ~12,000 locations they put the majority of restaurants in a range but they do have the numbers pretty well crunched.

Average profit margin 26-28% Average gross sales 2.2 - 2.6M Average operating income before rent/tax: 570k - 716k

"The rent paid to McDonald’s will vary based upon sales and McDonald’s investment in land, site improvements, and building costs."

It looks like that rent paid to McD's home planet is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10% of that investment (yearly? I guess?) but it seems to average about 100k-150k.


Good, this was my takeaway as well. My range was loosely rounded since 716k was something like the 85th percentile.


I assuming running = owning, not managing. Subtle maybe in practice but not in revenue.


Number of french speakers in the world... 76 million. Number of english speakers... 1.5 billion. It should be CUT, fuck the french and bad acronyms.


Those numbers have to be off: According to wikipedia [0]:

English 379.0 million native speakers, 1.132 billion total

French 76.8 million native speakers, 279.8 million total

It seems you might have mixed the French native speakers with a (high estimate of) the English total speakers.

Maybe we were just trolling english speakers and their curious way to format dates ;)


Maybe it was that the French were bringing their platinum-iridium meter bar to the meetings and wouldn't hesitate to rap your knuckles if you got out of line.


According to your logic it should be in Chinese.


Well, French is commonly spoken every day by a lot more 76M people, it's more in the area of 200 to 300M people. If you go in Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and other former colonies in Africa, you can reasonably expect people to be fluent, at least in cities.


I find comfort in the fact you're not a diplomat... I hope
