My pet theory adds that people were previously eating out a lot, and getting snacks from little shops. Now all of a sudden they are getting everything from supermarkets and cooking more often at home, so even without any hoarding, there's been a surge in the number of people eating home-made food at home.
Sounds great in concept, but I fear that commercializing such a thing will bring mountains of lawyers against you.
I'd argue that Ansible is using a DSL, just one that happens to be expressed in YAML. I mean, it has loops, conditionals, various forms of subroutines (roles, plays that can be included)... I don't think that using a YAML format rather than being C-shaped makes it any less a DSL.

Or search. Seems like they could give Google a run. I'd assume they have the infra and the expertise. I'd also assume someone there has already had that idea and run the numbers and decided against it. Maybe they have a gentleman's agreement with Google that they won't compete and Google will reduce their ad rates.
It happens quite often. It somehow decides to pick up outgoing email address based on to field. It’s annoying. There is a setting for it but it appears to reset with every update.

The only solution I found so far is to have distinct footers for each account and ALWAYS look st the footer and from.

It’s a dumb default.
I can’t tell if this is a troll or not.

It is listed below echinacea and cranberry pills (two supplements with substantial evidence for NON-efficacy) on the National Institute for Complementary and Alternative Medicine’s ranking of SUPPLEMENTS taken in the US. If it was real effective medicine, it wouldn’t be considered an “alternative” medicine (a polite phrase for horseshit).

Do you realize how ridiculous that is as evidence for anything? The fact that misguided people buy it in supplement form does not mean it is a treatment for anything, let alone COVID. People also buy lots of Diet Coke.

And then to top it off you reference Hippocrates (literally thousands of years ago). Did you know most Med schools don’t even take the Hippocratic oath any longer? Do you believe that doctors should treat people by keeping the 4 humors in balance?

Completely ridiculous
There's no way to decide the relative weight of uselessness and perceived immorality of chemical weapons. Some people clearly do consider them horrible, and it would be quite a surprise if none of those people were in any position of power, from armed forces to civilian government to parliamentarians to voters.

The argument otherwise rests on the assumption of perfect efficiency in military procurement and decision-making. Does anyone believe the military never uses "useless" technology?

They came up with a rationalisation for building that marginal nuclear bomb to allow the 254th complete destruction of earth. I'm sure they could convince themselves of the necessity of chemical weapons if motivated.

It’s also quite a feat to write about chemical weapons and use the Tokyo Sarin attack as an example, and not Syria. Not only did the latter happen fairly recently. It’s also an actual military using these weapons, not a cult. And if Syria is to fresh and people here are among those doubting the reports, maybe the Iraqi chemical weapons program from the Iran-Iraq war and later the genocidal use against the Kurds is more trusted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_chemical_weapons_program There, several thousand people were killed.
You will never time the bottom, just dollar-cost-average over like six months. Also, focusing on how to spend the money is the easy, fun part of the 'plan'. What was the plan that ended up with this much cash today?
Absolutely this. We need alternatives to Zoom and Hangouts which can be used by non-developers which should "just work" which Jitisi does to some extent but unfortunately, Zoom is still in the lead with a reason.

End users were looking for software a while back to do remote work or tele-conferencing and first it was companies that were using Zoom or Hangouts. By the time I saw actors and the mainstream media were mentioning and using Zoom [0], its mindshare was established right there and Jitsi now has a lot of catching up to do.

That's interesting, Sweden is more aggressive with this sort of thing. That'd be a controversial move even here in Canada.

The CDC recommends using alcohol sanitizer over non-alcohol ones:

> Many studies have found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60–95% are more effective at killing germs than those with a lower alcohol concentration or non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Hand sanitizers without 60-95% alcohol 1) may not work equally well for many types of germs; and 2) merely reduce the growth of germs rather than kill them outright.

https://www.propublica.org/article/coronavirus-hand-sanitize...

A friend who lived in Sweden told me the stores there shut down early and it was hard to find a place to buy alcohol (the Swedish state-run liquor store closes at 3pm on Saturday and is completely closed on Sunday). So if your flight arrives late to the city you might miss out.

Culture plays a big role in getting support for this sort of thing... Ontario used to be more like Sweden but recently expanded the hours of our state-run liquor store (until 11pm) and let grocery stores sell beer/cider.

> Unfortunately governments no longer ascribe to free market capitalism

They never did; real-world capitalism has always been crony capitalism, far longer than the mixed economy/welfare state has existed. Laissez-faire was a dishonest propaganda tactics for selling what was actually crony capitalism that was crafted after criticism of capitalism gained currency, not a thing that actually existed or was ascribed to be real governments.

Free market capitalosm but rather facilitate the corpate-crony welfare state.
I wonder if anyone (who also has Zoom) could comment on how Jitsi actually compares to Zoom for 20+ people with full video? (since the title pits it against Zoom)

I'm seeing comments how how good Jitsi is, but can someone categorically say Jitsi is comparable to or better than Zoom?

The advantages of Zoom are ease of setup, smooth simultaneous video experience (tiled) for 20+ participants, and breakout rooms. The experience is so good that I was convinced to fork out my own money for a personal subscription. If Jitsi can do all of the above, I'd be inclined to try it out for my next meeting.

> The USA, in stark contrast, had a gutted CDC (thanks to the hard work of the GOP to shrink the government), an abolished White House Pandemic Response office (used to be part of the national security group), and a President who first ignored and then downplayed repeated warnings from his own country's Intelligence Community because he thought it was a "hoax".

The CDC budget has not been gutted (https://mises.org/wire/cdcs-budget-larger-now-under-obama). Perhaps you meant that he proposed reductions. Sure, but that didn't happen so you can't use a reduced budget as the cause for anything.

The Pandemic Response Office was consolidated as part of the restructuring of the NSC. The office might have been eliminated but the function was not. (https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/465320-reducin...)

And as for your "hoax" comment. You are just parroting false accounts of what the President said. His reference to a "hoax" was to the particular types of criticisms being made by the Democrats not to the virus. It is obvious on its face that he hasn't thought it was a hoax since he has continued to make executive decisions that would make no sense if he thought it was a hoax (e.g. banning travel from China in mid January)

Unfortunately, you have been suckered into believing lots of things that just aren't true. The press continues to embarrass itself during this crisis.

> Regarding the economy, tell me this: do you seriously think our economy can handle millions of deaths within the span of several months?

Well it is a bit of a false choice you are forcing on me, but it is quite possible that a destroyed world economy could lead to more deaths than could be caused by the virus alone. As bad as things are, they could get a whole lot worse.

Theoretically this is why TV manufacturers include dB meters in most all TVs now. My experience however is that those meters are not very useful because they jump around like crazy and it's hard to get a sense of just how strong the signal is.

It also seems to me that while it was pretty easy to tolerate some fuzz on an old analog station, digital artifacts and stalls pretty much ruin a show. We lost some old marginal stations with the "upgrade" to digital TV. Digital is perfect when the signal is good, but degrades much worse than analog.
I'm not entirely sure that's true. Or maybe it's a case of "we've traded the old bugs for a set of new bugs".

Anecdotally I can identify two of the four living generations of my family having observed and corrected _obvious_ failures of their elder generation. What's perhaps harder to recognize is the new bad traits that get introduced.

To be fair, though, each generation has increasingly different circumstances than the previous one. The human circumstance seems to be varying more with each generation as of the industrial age.

Ideally we would collect and review all the previous lessons learned. But we tend to get fascinated by new shiny things (or Netflix series), so we aren't evolving optimally...

> This is a meme phrase; losses absolutely do happen before you sell your assets.

It is not a meme, is how accounting works, is how governments tax. If you look at your own example, some people though that they had made a lot of profit with Enron, if they did not sold the shares then they only got losses.

Because the you only win or lose money when you sell your shares (not counting dividends if any).

UK law: "You’ll need to work out your gain to find out whether you need to pay Capital Gains Tax.

Your gain is usually the difference between what you paid for your shares and what you sold them for."
- https://www.gov.uk/tax-sell-shares/work-out-your-gain

Until you sell there is NO gains as price varies in function of time. And it can go up or down.

The other claims are more complicated. It's difficult to discuss them if common accounting knowledge is not understood.

You're not thinking big enough. It's not about the specific thing you're selling, it's the skillset.

Microsoft sales has a skillset of going into a company, talking to the CIO/COO/CTO/CEO and selling them infrastructure to run their business.

Google has the skills of going to the CMO or the marketing manager and selling them advertising.

Which of those skill sets translates more directly to selling cloud infrastructure?

Have you considered picking a few cool businesses and paying for them to use your product? If the customers really like it, they may start asking "hey how come you don't have Taiv like SoAndSo down the street?" That's probably easier for a restaurant or bar owner to understand than anything else you might do.

Also, random thought: a failure of your classifier is probably not the end of the world in most cases. But if all TVs running Taiv switch away simultaneously during a critical moment in a major sporting event like the Super Bowl then that might tank your business.

If you have a way of tuning the false positive/false negative parameters, you may want to tune them so that for certain highly watched content you're more likely to see an odd commercial than miss an important moment.

> it makes perfect sense

it makes financial-risk/reward sense. But only because interest rates are at record lows, and there's evidence in the past that bailouts can happen for too-big-to-fail type companies. Essentially, these big employers can extort a country for a bailout, with the economy tanking as the weapon.

If they cannot rely on the interest being low, and if they cannot rely on a lender of last resort like the FEDs, i'm sure they will be more fiscally responsible.

Unfortunately, these risky behaviour these companies take are the result of years of poor monetary policy by the FEDs and lack of investment into increasing competition in all sectors of industry by the gov't.

It's widely reported to be asymptomatic for many. Iceland did random testing and I think half the positives had, and developed, no symptoms at all.

Edit...should have cited a source:

CDC says coronavirus survived in Princess Cruise ship cabins for up to 17 days
I've noticed that a lot of people have an aversion to software that doesn't have a name that's made from English word(s). This is possibly because the most common software out there has this property, and so people subconsciously associate it with quality (exceptions abound, of course, Samsung, Adobe, but I think that you need to reach a certain size to break free from the negative stigma in English-speaking countries).

Come to think of it, this may be why Linux is still seen as an outsider to non-technical people, as though it were less of a serious product than Windows (which has an English word as a name).
Ironic that you would suggest "Jitsi" as a (stereo)typically bad name with a username of "jimbob". I guess we all have our own prejudices.

Blue Canvas | Senior Engineer | Berlin, flexible on-site | https://bluecanvas.io

We make source control and DevOps tools for the Salesforce dev ecosystem. We were shocked to learn that Salesforce devs and admins build impressively complex applications without any kind of source control or CI! The market is growing fast as more companies embrace “low code” platforms like Salesforce ($13B was spent customizing Salesforce in 2017).

We’ve reached profitability working with initial customers like Sysco, McKesson and Intercom and recently raised a round from Indie.vc. We admire companies like Basecamp, Mailchimp and Atlassian who grew mostly with customer revenue AND made a significant impact.

We’re looking for experienced full-stack engineers to take a senior role working with our CTO in Berlin. The position is mostly onsite with flexible working hours and home office. As an early member of a tight nit team, you will have meaningful impact on everything we do: code, architecture, infrastructure, team and culture.

We're excited about you if you have experience in some of the following:

- Vue.js, Typescript, Apollo GraphQL
- Python 3
- Ruby on Rails, GitLab
- AWS, Terraform, Docker

If you aren't in Berlin but want to get involved - we'd still be happy to chat!

Email jobs@bluecanvas.io if you're interested.
