> I've just google image searched for the Spitalfields Market, apparently people in here believe that plums and avocado grow just outside of London (because that's what I saw in those photos).

London is only 35 miles away from the sea, how far do you think it is to a field.

As to your Van Drive: For example, Brixham (160 miles) is a popular place to get high quality seafood for the posher end of the restauraunts, this is ~3hr30. Getting fresh ingredients to london is a completely solved problem.
A common theme is that crisis just accelerate what's already happening. Old school retail has been slowly dying for awhile and the death has been accelerated. Things like restaurants have been growing in popularity so when the lockdown ends I expect those to do well again. Even on the personal level, there are more babies born and divorces post crisis.

One that I haven't figured out yet is the NFL. I know they have been making record money, but head injuries has slowed down the feed of talent. If sports are canceled until next year, does this accelerate a move to a different nationally popular sport? Unlikely, but something I've been thinking about.

Hyper-V is able to nest ESXi and KVM (and Hyper-V of course) and vice versa ESXi and KVM are able to nest Hyper-V. I'm not sure what would be limited.

Yeah that's the difference between a type 1 and type 2 hypervisor. A type 1 runs on the bare metal, a type 2 runs via drivers underneath an existing OS. Since Hyper-V is a type 1 (like ESXi) you can't use a type 2 hypervisor on the root VM to escape being under Hyper-V you either have to do some sort of nesting or disable Hyper-V from loading and reboot.

Why react?
I know several service industry people who are making more on unemployment now thanks to the extra federal money than they were while working.

Add to that the fact that they aren't eating out, traveling etc... and their savings are doing better now than they were.

This definitely isn't the same everywhere, and higher income people will be making a lot less. But lower income spend faster anyway.
It's almost the opposite of the Microsoft's strategy by then. Microsoft made it easy for anybody to depend on their software, Oracle goes out of their way to make it harder.
IT-s around me are also pretty secure about their employment chances - so I expect a bloodbath of layoffs there.
The problem is this assumes that the businesses that employ these hourly workers can snap their fingers one day and Tada, be open.

The problem is that businesses can only be operating if the businesses they depend on upstream and downstream are open. Restaurants can't open until they get their food restocked, but restaurant suppliers haven't been stocking at their previous levels because they haven't had customers. Restaurants also may not be able to go back to 100% capacity in order to spread people out, which means the restaurants won't make enough money to warrant the number of servers and cooks they had previously. Restaurants may not even be able to afford to re-open or pay the same number of staff even if business warrants it because of built up backpayments on rent and accounts payables.

This isn't just a food service industry problem. What about movie theaters? Theaters attendance had heavily declined before shelter in place directives caused them to close. They aren't going to open to full capacity and need the whole staff they originally had.

Have an IT consulting shop? I know several who had their services (both commercial and residential) dry up because companies didn't want to incur extra expenditures and house holds were scared because of unemployment and getting less PC problems diagnosed or buying less hardware. The IT shop can't staff back up until their customers starts coming back.

Hotels won't need to rehire a lot of their cleaning crews until their occupancy rates go back up. Same with airline and airport staff, and indications do not show that people will be willing to travel immediately once lock downs are gone.

etc...

Every part of our economy is dependent on each other, and even if we had everyone vaccinated today there would still be significant spin-up time until we even halve the unemployment rate.
While it won't magically solve problems people having confidence in a speedy recovery and behaving accordingly is likely going to speed up the recovery. It is certainly not going to slow down recovery. It's like the inverse of getting a recession because people expect a recession and behave accordingly causing a recession.

you need to bear in mind that the government's furlough scheme is capped (gross £2.5k per month) and it has an expiry date. this means that in such a situation, you can't assume you'll be on furlough until "normality resumes". even if the government extends the scheme, the company can still fire you and opt for not having you on furlough or not. overall furlough is as uncertain as it gets. on the other hand, dismissal might come with a "severance package".
> Retrieving data from the database is an incoming interaction — it doesn’t result in a side effect.

Unless you count the time taken to retrieve the data as a side effect. If you are implementing a cache with a well specified behavior then you might want to test incoming interactions.

Anyway, this just shows that having a side effect can be a matter of perspective.

Cool. What about the rest of Europe/the EU? I am in an EU country and ordering anything from any of the Amazons has a minimum delivery time of 1 week. Usually it's longer than that.

>Also digital e-commerce retailers are prevalent in all EU countries.

And they are not trustworthy. Those online retailers always have everything in stock, but after you order and pay money it always turns out that they will have to order it from somewhere else. Often that other place has no stock either. It took me almost a month to get a new HDD last year because of shenanigans like this.

>Amazon set up separate national operations in the EU due to social, regulatory and tax reasons.

This is true if you live in one of the five odd countries that have an Amazon site. The 20 other EU countries don't get this luxury.
Searching for a Covid-19 Test in America
So there are a few things to think about with respect to the recovery. Disclaimer: I am not an economist.

One thing is that to a certain extent an economy is psychological. Yes, certain things are physical realities (such as crop yields) or political realities (e.g. states of war) or legal realities (like regulations against selling homemade beer), but a lot else is purely based on sentiment. And it doesn’t matter how good reality is if people think it’s bad: they won’t act in the market more than they must to survive, and it will actually be a bad market, even if the fundamentals justify a good one — at least for awhile, until enough contrarians seek to take advantage of good prices (a kind of sentiment arbitrage, I suppose).

But something I worry about even more is well-intended interventions which make things worse and prolong the poor economy. There’s precedent for this in history: the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was intended to alleviate the Great Depression but instead exacerbated it. Specifically, I can think of laws against so-called ‘price-gouging’ (which is a myth: no-one in all of human history has ever paid more for something than he felt it was worth to him at the time he bought it, because whenever anyone feels the all-in price for something is more than the all-in value … he doesn’t buy it): by interfering with the price mechanism which is the fundamental method for economic actors to bid for their needs and desires to be met, it will result in less-efficient allocation of resources (capital and labour) across the entire market. This misinvestment will by definition lead to a poorer economy than would otherwise be the case.
I don't know why you were downvoted -- you're exactly right. It's also the reason why there are plenty of directors at google with no team, and plenty of lower level managers with 20, 50 or more directs (often lots of TVCs).

An observation from my work experience is that, while things run efficiently with smaller teams overall, small teams also tend to make it easier for any given leader to have a reasonably good idea what's going on across their org (it's easier to grok a 50 person team's work when it's split into 10 mgr teams than if it were completely flat), but that also puts the lower level managers' jobs at risk because their director is more likely not to consider them essential -- ironically, because things are running smoothly.

> if the government were responsible effectively

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any part of the government respond effectively to anything, to the point of it being an oxymoron. I also fail to believe that the president has much power over anything related. In a state of emergency, the president can get more powers. I am unaware of any that would help. He can imprison, disable services, turn off the Internet, sanction, all sticks and no carrots. I think our president is an ass, but I think it is silly to think “if but for him, our government wouldn’t be hamstrung.”

Edit: clarification on my first post: I was not claiming toilet paper as protective or emergency supplies, but as an example that even trifling things can’t be secured. Let alone things that are actually important such as masks or food.

Sounds like it could evolve to be more transmissible in humans. The more people it infects, the more likely that is to happen.

With that in mind, "flattening the curve" is even more essential.

I was able to overcome fear of public speaking by improving my physical technique, breathe with the goal of keeping the diaphragm full similar to how a bagpipe keeps its airbag full and lets air out to produce sound. Working on my pronunciation so that it is easily heard. Stress the first syllable of words. Stress the t sound. Soften the r in the middle and end of words. My favorite tongue twister is “After crossing the Sahara we found a bar in the bazaar”. Before a big speech I get myself hydrated four hours before. Good luck.

Brain Training Does Work
This is a classic example of taking a genuine point (some things especially tomatoes really are better in Italy) and going too far with sweeping claims; London has always had fresh fish. The fishing industry is not what it used to be but the catch is still landed from the North Sea, driven to Billingsgate in the early morning and eaten that day.

If you happen to select veg that is actually available local and in season, you can get it fresh. That means you have to be a bit selective; the most premium example is probably asparagus. Lots of UK veg growing is in nearby counties like Kent.

The British reputation for disastrous food is mostly a legacy of rationing combined with a slightly colder temperate climate, and ceased to be representative in the 90s.
You are down voted, but it is true.

The same thing happened with the 2008 housing and financial crisis, millions lost jobs, lost their houses, almost any major city can tell you about the explosion of homelessness during that time and has never been addressed.
Show HN: Free lifetime pro subscriptions for Sizle.io (sales presentation tool)
Hey all,

I built a piece of software (browser-based sales presentation tool) called Sizle.io last year as a hobby that turned into a full-time thing, it's still quite new having only been around for about a year, but I'm hoping that it might be useful to someone here.

Because of what's going on with this pandemic and how many people are losing their gigs, I'm giving lifetime Pro subscriptions for $0. Pro subscriptions are usually $10/mo or $84/year.

If you want to take this up, just log in at http://sizle.io/ and enter either of these codes to get Pro for free forever (I am already doing this discount for the education sector, hence the promo code names lol).

EDUPRO100 (Free ongoing monthly license)
EDUANNUAL100 (Free annual license)

I know it's not much but I hope this helps at least someone during this crazy time regardless

If you don't want to have to use a promo code, just email me at jeremy@sizle.io and I’ll manually switch your account from Free to Pro

Disclosure: It's just me and my partner that run this app, the software isn't perfect but we truly just want to help people out during this weird time. If this helps someone land another client or close one deal then we'll be stoked.
My current phone cost half as much and is by far the best-performing smartphone I've ever owned.

No, I don't get why I'm supposed to pay double for iOS. Then again I don't see any smartphone on the market that I'd actually pay a premium price for. They're all not quite convincing to me.

Also, $399 is not entry level compared to the first generations of the iPhone, which was already not considered cheap. I'm not a fan of this severe price drift.

> However, there are businesses that will have closed permanently

Businesses might close, but the demand will still return and new businesses will come back. Of little comfort to those who lose their business, but should let workers know that they'll still be demand for their job under another company if not their current.

There will also be some changes in demand that would change businesses, but even then there should be new demand elsewhere.

> Some of the Terraform codebases I have worked on have been wildly over-complicated and take a good hour to grok. And I literally spend 10 times more of my day writing a new "standardized" Terraform module than I do writing a shell script that does the same thing.

Yep, which is why in the comment you replied to I said: "Like anything else, it is possible to write Terraform in an incomprehensible way.". You can write muck in anything.

Also, an hour sounds like a pretty reasonable amount of time to grok a totally new codebase of any significant complexity, but maybe I'm just slow. I can assure you that trying to grok the equivalent mess in a language and style you have never worked in before isn't going to be any faster.

> And Terraform doesn't even support declarative configuration management!!! The syntax is declarative, but it literally can not change the infrastructure to be the way you describe, if it has changed outside your state file (which can happen at literally any time).

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The first thing Terraform does before a plan or apply is refresh the state file with the real-world status of resources.
I think the mental toll for what is going on right now is going to appear laughable in the months to come. No matter which way we jump there are going to be ugly consequences. A huge part of not examining the problems and trying to come up with the best solutions is that it is being made into a political debate on whose policies were and should be followed. We at where we're at. What we should be looking at is what is the best way out. We need to triage the situation by deciding what we want the future to look like.

Do we want our children to grow up with the education and employment opportunities that they had six months ago, or do we want to completely minimize the loss of life?

The people most at risk are people with compromised cardiovascular systems and compromised respiratory systems. I also understand that obese people are at high risk. You can conclude that the way these people became compromised is through lifestyle choices. They chose to smoke, drink, and over indulge in food for many years. I'm sorry the bill has become due. But I don't think my children should have to pay the price for their choices.

I know a lot of readers are going to be saying that the greatest at risk group are people over 65. I'm in this group. It is my personal opinion that I would rather my grandchildren grow up with high potential than to prolong my life another few years. In reality I'm not truly concerned because I'm relatively healthy for my age group because of the choices I have made.
Arcus FI (https://www.arcusfi.com/) a fintech just laid off our NYC office and a bunch of people in our office of Mexico City without offer any severance (they owned me commissions). Furthermore, the last 6 months around 15 people quit because the founders’s behaviour (no professionalism, no strategy and pathologic liars about the money raised, with the customers, the investors and the employees). One co-worker told me they threated one employee from Mexico to break his leg if he leaves. Really bad company.
100% disagree with this. Our local line, which in the 80s was a backwater being considered for closure or at the least major service cuts, now has an hourly fast intercity train with a quiet carriage (mostly observed), decent free wifi, and reliable service. Driving and, more significantly, parking anywhere just can't compete.

Not everywhere in the UK is lucky enough to have a good train service, but overall the service today is much better than the 80s.

Just to add a different perspective: I never used a case for any of my iPhones or iPads. I refuse to hide that mostly beautiful body in a cheap, or even high quality, permanent case.

And yet I have still sold all of those dozen devices in flawless, virtually pristine condition when it became time to upgrade. I think the secret is to use a lightweight, thin textile sleeve [1] during transport, in your pocket or bag. Plus, it also serves as a soft bedding when your device is resting on a table or other hard surfaces. It also has a microfiber inner lining, which combined with the snug fit keeps the display clean.

Sorry for sounding so ecstatic about a sleeve, but I always wondered why temporary sleeve usage wasn’t more popular compared to those dreadful permanent cases.

Right, the testing pyramid. Your largest set of tests should be a foundation of unit tests that run quickly. Then integration and or functional tests, which is the section this is talking about.

They are still necessary, then move up the stack and you get into the end-to-end tests of a fully running system.

The reason isn’t only speed but also signal to noise ratio. The further up the testing pyramid you go, the less clear it becomes where errors were introduced.
