> When did this happen? Why? Did people lose interest in actual news? Is there less actual news to report?

2. People are less aware of longer-lasting events and most people land on news stories from social media as a one-off. The additional context is needed.
I use and love Brave (since beta). As usual HN making a bigger deal out of nothing. They gotta make money, and it's not like they are stealing from anyone else (replacing ref links).
> Monday’s rally put Tesla’s market capitalization at $145 billion. Importantly for Musk, its stock market value reached a six-month average of $96 billion. Hitting a six-month average of $100 billion would trigger the vesting of the first of 12 tranches of options granted to the billionaire to buy Tesla stock as part of his two-year-old pay package.
> Each tranche gives Musk the option to buy 1.69 million Tesla shares at $350.02 each. Taking Monday’s Tesla closing stock price of $798.75 as an example, Musk could sell those shares for a profit of $758 million.
So it's $750m profit in each of the 12 tranches (assuming $TLSA holds)! That's nearly $9B in profit.

They also said government use of public Power BI for sharing COVID-19 dashboads is up 42 percent in a week. (As is the case with Microsoft's overall cloud services figure, we don't have a base number for WVD and Power BI from which to calculate these percentages.)
