I built TryCatchUp: https://trycatchup.com

I kept hitting the same problem in Slack: a project channel can look fine until it isn’t. The real signal is usually buried in threads, stray blocker mentions, and a drop in channel activity. Then someone asks for status and you end up piecing it together by hand.

It sits in Slack project channels and:

* flags blockers, delays, and scope creep

* DMs the project lead when something needs attention

* sends a Friday digest with decisions, blockers, accomplishments, and recent activity

* keeps a pinned Canvas updated so stakeholders can check status without asking in-thread

* stays quiet when a channel is active and does lightweight check-ins when it goes quiet

* deactivates itself if a channel has been dead for 3+ weeks; it warns first, waits 7 days, then removes itself

Free tier covers 2 channels with weekly digests. Pro is $29/mo.

I read a hypothesis that it's birth control going to waste water facilities, and then getting back into the drinking water supply. From what I read a charcoal filter lessens the effects - which I believe gets filtered through a normal refrigerator filter. Please verify this information first, it's all conjecture and hypothesis.

It says it right in the blog post. VSCode only does fuzzy matching for javascript. This is an "intelligent" autocomplete, so the suggestions should be better.

I am speculating:

1) pricing in the return of US manufacturing. In a pandemic, it's every country for themselves. We've outsourced items critical for national sovereignty and the ability to respond to crises. I think left and right agrees now, that's a risk which needs to be mitigated.

2) govt has unprecedented support, in terms of small business loans and benefits

3) bonds and stocks are usually inversely correlated, they are not because the fed is buying up a significant portion of the debt, at low rates. Meaning your not getting much return if you hold bonds.

4) Capital flight from foreign markets. If you can't trust China, and emerging markets are going to get hit worse, then the US is where you want your money.

5) Less uncertainty.

6) More speculation that this virus is not as bad as we think. We're well below the expected deaths on the models, which means the models are wrong, by a factor of multiples.

I dig it too, but you could previously flatten an array with concat, and the spread operator. [].concat(...array)

Lodash wasn't necessary.

It doesn't contribute to a lack of social mobility. It is a perceived result of a lack of social mobility. And if your parents are in an income bracket, you are probably going to be in that income bracket. The only thing a high number of people getting help from their parents indicates is they might end up worse off than their parents, in income. But you'd need to wait until they've reached their peak earning years to know for sure.

And that's not true? When you have to worry about maintaining a job you 100% have to watch what you say. We even have a saying which encapsulates this phenomenon - "FU money".

If money were an infinite resource it would have no value. Sure, governments have the ability to print more but they are constrained by inflation targets. And sure, more liquidity was put into the markets but that's because the markets had no liquidity and we were on the brink of financial disaster and deflation was on the verge of occurring. In deflationary events no one buys anything because the price tomorrow is cheaper then the price today so everyone waits to buy while businesses are unable to move their products and tons of people lose their jobs.

There are other circumstances at work here then more money in circulation, such as land use restrictions, building codes, nimbyism, credit costs/restrictions, tax policies, etc. If investors can build housing and make money they will certainly do it. It's not just the supply of money, but also the supply/demand of a product that effects prices.
