Oyo is an Indian hotel chain - of course it will suffer. I get the allure of the sky is falling but aren’t we missing just how privileged we are having an office job that easily can be done remotely?

The dot com bust and 9/11 is a good example of the opposite. If you were in real estate around then there was no recession at all.

Why do you guys assume that this crisis will hit software development? As far as I can see software development will be one of the fields least hit, possibly even benifiting, by the fallout of the Corona-virus.

This is not malicious. This is simply easing up the installation process. If the files can be copied directly into applications then do so rather than trigger a password prompt. I would do the same.

This reads like it is specifically targeting zoom.

Is there any technical merit to this ban? Why would forcing use of web version mitigate any concerns? (The concerns I have heard are lack of proper end-to-end encryption, servers in China and the possibility to join chatrooms by guessing a

"No worse than the flu." How could they feel safe saying such things? Because in most health scares historically this has been correct. That the danger had been wildly overestimated. And even now, it is not clear that "we&quo

How many layoffs within tech? It is unclear to me much and how tech is affected.

There is also a group of politicians who are not too proud to promote these conspiracies as a way to rally their base.

If I were to design a video conference platform my focus would be usability, video quality, speed. Because those are the things that matters to end-users; if it gives up some security because there is a server somewhere that decrypts, conve

Why not relative to population size? And China and USA should split into regions/states.

Facetious. I think our politicians should have started with stuff like this rather going full on North Korea.

I thought here in the west that it was well-established that temperature checks and mask do not work against the corona?!

Beyond what is obvious (airlines, restaurants, hotels, retail etc are not contributing to the economy at the moment) I don’t think there will be a broader recession. The bailout packages may lead to higher interest rates due to government b

Then why the lockdown if there is no outbreak and it is too hot for the virus to spread?

Why is there no major outbreak in India? One would expect it given the high population density.

No. Buy a house and some stocks in growth sectors.

You don't build wealth by saving. You do it by investing using leverage. The system subsidises debt and risk-taking (within limits) by inflation and the structure of the tax system. You need to let go of the idea that it is immoral. Bu

So if the mortality rate of the decease is what it is in Germany or Korea - about 0.5% but the number of dead is 4x the official 10.000. Then about 8 mio - ca 15% - of Italy’s population has had it. Is that really correct?

I guessing it will be a while for AirBnB to IPO. Also the massive bailouts, the drop in real GDP, may finally lead to inflation and higher interest rates and an end to world wide booming property markets.

It might just happen. The government paying to have rental properties siting empty. I guess some new chapters in the economics textbooks need to be written on what comes after negative interest rates ...

I wonder if we will see a government bail-out for all these airbnb hosts ...

I agree. From a technical perspective this is very exciting; all of a sudden there is an open field on all these fundamental building blocks. But for an American strategic perspective I think it would have made more sense to keep the Chines

I don't think Americans realise how much diplomatic influence has been lost in Europe. To me the American tradition of a politicised diplomatic corps is to blame. The politics of Trump is just very far from mainstream European politics

I think the main issue is that most europeans are just not so hot on a war with China as the americans are; even after a massive media campaign. I believe the next move by the US will be to force TSMC not to supply Huawei. https:/&#x2

Is this an ongoing trial? When are the results due? 3x100 subjects (is that correctly read?) seems quite powerful.

It is still too early to tell but what if the corona virus pandemic ends up hurting the us and Europe much more than China? Pushing the shift towards Asia/China into overdrive.
