"Notably, the new coronavirus provides a new lineage for almost half of its genome, with no close genetic relationships to other viruses within the subgenus of sarbecovirus. This genomic part comprises also half of the spike region encoding a multifunctional protein responsible also for virus entry into host cells[30, 31]. The unique genetic features of 2019-nCoV and their potential association with virus characteristics and virulence in humans remain to be elucidated."
Hmmm... interesting.
Edit, full title of article.
"Full-genome evolutionary analysis of the novel corona virus (2019-nCoV) rejects the hypothesis of emergence as a result of a recent recombination event"
Another reason for a stock to rise these days is stock buybacks. Great work if you're in upper management and can compensate yourself via corporate buybacks using "free money".(with interest rates being near zero and artificially suppressed)
Thanks for having the guts to say this. Granted that collectively "the West", those who explicitly or tacitly support the Anglo-American banking cartel, are not without major flaws and human rights abuses as well. But execution of your political opponents to harvest their organs for money? That is above and way, way beyond the pale.
We don't need China. Increasing automation, and with other countries picking up the slack, China will become more and more irrelevant. We don't need to support in any way the completely amoral CCP.

Agree pretty much apart from the bitcoin failure part.
In nine years, bitcoin keeps on ticking and evolving. Segwit was/is a big deal, as lack of segwit held up further development. Lightning, x-chain atomic swaps, Schnorr signatures, MAST, side-chains to name a few additional features and improvements.
Amazing talent. Unfortunate that many only know of the Zen book. His second book, Lila, which expands on the "Metaphysics of Quality" has much to offer.
Yes. A plausible explanation of our cultural prejudice against "hearing voices". An amazing and thought provoking book. Even if you don't agree with his thesis. Highly recommended.
