Much of the money of rocket internet is coming from other sectors these days. A major sector here is real estate, where they founders have created a massive network of companies / holdings.

I still don't quite understand how they could be that "successful". But maybe its just a reflection of society...

That is true for me as well. Read a lot of things from Richard Feynman, even saw some videos / interviews with him. Never saw him mentioning her. Maybe just an oversight.

RIP.

I remember that answer to "What keeps you up at night?" of a major security advisor to be "Our employees! They click everything!".

Training to prevent these social engineering leaks is definitely critical.

Quite often its not even "fancier language, accent and level of confidence", but just that management - for whatever reason - trusts these "outsiders" more than their own employees. We live in a weird world. When I (used to) sit next to McKinsey consultants on a plane I always asked "what's your current outsourcing project?".

Or have several k Twitter followers ...

Could not agree more. Finder is a mess. Explorer just gets the job done.

Thanks for sharing. Did not know about Urbanized - but looks fantastic!

Definitely. Both are great!

It was definitely flow. It was the first thing that came to my mind, because I've never seen anyone writing TS in .js files, but I've seen flow in just plain .js files - a lot.

Using it in multiple projects: The software itself is great and provides great value.

Only pitfall are the available libs. Especially with the .NET implementation we had quite a lot of trouble. Its not following current .NET patterns and has strange quirks. Does anyone know a good alternative to the "official" one?

In general? Microsoft is one of the largest software (and SW dev tooling) vendors in the world. Recently? Their dev conference (BUILD) is starting today. Expect even more in the next 36 - 72 hours.

Besides the poor browser support (supporting IE11 is still quite a pain) the API is just so bad that you'll need another abstraction on top anyway.

The main use right now is as target for framework independent design systems / component libraries.

I don't think the number of deaths in Sweden (around 1500) is that high. Sweden has 10 million people. Some sources report it as 10% (of all cases), but I would be very cautious with these numbers. We know since quite a while that the number of reported cases can only act as an upper barrier, which may be between 10 and 15 times too high.

In Germany you are only tested under some conditions. I know many people that had quite a few symptoms and have not been tested even though they wanted to get a test. Only the ones that got severe problems or had relatives with a positive test. The conclusion is that we only know the death count quite well, the rest is mostly guess work.

South Korea demonstrated from the beginning on how to deal with this (despite their slow start - which still is super quick compared to most western countries).

But its completely wrong to think they passed it. They also have massive impediments at the moment. Back to normal? Far from it.

Personally, I think this is a myth (https://blog.bitsrc.io/11-popular-misconceptions-about-micro...).

Most our projects where microfrontends have been actively demanded (and we did now quite a lot of them) did not come up due to use of multiple frameworks. Yes, it is possible to use multiple technologies, but quite often there is key technology in place anyway. E.g., one of our clients had a huge pattern library written in React and demanded all microfrontends to be written in React.

So why then microfrontends at all? Well, all parts are still independent from each other, i.e., independently developed and deployed. Our client has multiple teams and like that these teams can just work in their own pace using a few guiding principles that have been given by the solution architecture.

Yes it does.

You can either use shared dependencies from the app shell or share dependencies independently from your microfrontends using import maps. The former involves additional responsibility on the app shell side (dangerous) the latter potential overhead in case of unaligned dependency versions (then these are loaded multiple times).

I thought this one might be about microfrontends. It was not...

We are currently working on a solution for this problem (scalable SPA where multiple teams can develop and deploy independently). Its been used by some of our clients for quite a bit now. Their dev teams seem to like it so far.

If anyone is interested our GitHub repo is at https://github.com/smapiot/piral - thanks!

There are some which require less boilerplate and actually are (partially significantly) smaller in size.

Before you reason about somebody's assumption you should first think about your interpretation. Next time please read it more carefully before you compare apples and oranges.

Exactly this. Looking at South Korea every citizen got 2 facial masks per week. That's how it should be done - they are only effective if everyone wears them.

I don't claim that not cleaning spreads the virus, nor do I have any evidence that cleaning helps. For me its just an indicator that the cities / government do not work carefully. In South Korea pretty much all subways (at least from what I hear in Seoul and Daegu) and public buildings are cleaned very frequently during the pandemic. Look at their numbers / curve to see how well they handled this.

The assumption regarding the health system is based on the official number, which is way too low. The official number right now is ~25k cases in Germany. The real number may be closer to 250k cases. Most people get mild or no symptoms at all. Also of these 25k cases - most people do not require intensive medical care. Yes, the deaths are tragic, but influenza death count is above 2k this year alone. In comparison each year we have 33k kills caused by superbugs in Europe. Do we act here (in some countries there are active measurements - not so in Germany)? So while flatten the curve is definitely important its all about the balance here. And I think the balance is way off ...

Yes, I am aware that Germany has only 25k breathing machines (80% already taken) and would not be equipped for a full outburst - but that would not happen with general sanity, too (e.g., basic hygienic measures). For instance, in South Korea (sorry to use this example again) every citizen gets 2 facial masks per week. I know that these masks are not for your protection, but for protecting others - but that's exactly it. If everyone wears them (by order of the government) then the infection risk is drastically reduced.

Again I don't want to claim all would be good, but claiming that now everything is good is certainly wrong, too. Without basic testing and other essential measures the spread will continue. If you need some evidence here then look at Italy. First country to act with such strong restrictions, still right now the one that has the most problems.

Germany is still missing out on some very basic things that have been done right in countries like South Korea: Namely: constant cleanup, constant testing, identification and information about potential hot spots. The government reacted really slow (we had the first case ~mid of February and nothing happened for another 3 weeks) it now does a lot of actions but mostly destructive ones like shutting down the economy.

Yes, social distancing is good, and yes we need to flatten the curve, but there are other possibilities, too? Protecting people above 65 (i.e., retired) and with medical conditions would have been easier. Now there is fear everywhere. Still, I hear from a lot of people that they indeed show (mild) symptoms, but are not tested - even upon request. How can that work?

I was riding the subway here in Munich last Friday. Quite empty - still very dirty. No where anyone with sanitizing spray or anything.

This is wrong. She had contact with somebody and needs to go into quarantine as a precaution mechanism. Nothing proven yet.

Had an Amiga 500 with (among other games) Lemmings... Great times even though, honestly, for me as a 5 year old the levels / understanding of the game was a bit too much.
