I've tried Jitsi Meet. It works OK, at least for a small enough number of participants (I don't know, <= 8 ? YMMV) but for more people things it didn't worked so well. It also is meant for meetings between peers, for somet

So let's say that so far you stood apart, are or not at risk population (age, previous conditions, whatever) or just live with someone in that group. Now the shutdown gets over, you have to go to work or else get fired, and odds that y

Safety is a big bag that includes a lot of things, with a lot of players. In 2013 we learned about one of those players, laws made to support them, and having faith that that player won't act instead of having a non illegal way to veri

Asymtomatics exists, and in the early stages of the disease you may have mild or no symtomps yet, even if you develop them later. So you may be a carrier but their test won't spot you. You should wear a mask at the very least, even if

The next big scare? Why would someone bring to the US a colony of them (or a number big enough to make one)? Anyway, I can't stop thinking on P.K.Dick's Meddler, but with hornets instead of blue butterflies. Try to avoid bringing

Why all graphs are cummulative instead of new cases for that day? It's harder to notice how it is growing that way (i.e. more or less new cases than the previous days) and harder to see if it is going exponential, lineal or whatever. A

It may depend on the time frame. The markets were inflated, with a lot of voices telling how unsustainable things would be soon enough, and then this black swan happened. The current situation will last at least a month (and how bad it will

My top pick would be Antifragile, by Nassim Taleb. In fiction, would be Charles Stross's Accelerando. One teached me how little I really know and how small things can become big ones, the other, how fast things could happen.

Oil was a good push for the development of our civilization, and should have been for any past technological civilization too. If we have oil today (in the amount we are getting it, at least) then the previous civilizations didn't reac

It is more about sea rise than about climate change (that involves far more than just the rise of oceans). Kim Stanley Robinson's Forty Signs of Rain feels more down to the ground, but I suppose that there are plenty of other recent sc

It is alarming to say that temperatures around polar areas increased a lot. That is where a couple of positive reinforcement loops are located (less reflective surface because ice melted, and the release of frozen greenhouse gases). In fact
