ladino··on Sailcargo
compared to a mega container ship, i bet the carbon footprint of this sailing boat is much much greater!

Please compare the sails, antifouling, boat paint per load compared to a container ship, its much uglier than you think when you compare it to a big size petrol container ship! Just do the math! Its has more a symbolic "green thing" character, which is good! :)

Even an automatically controlled boat is too expensive concerning insurance, fire and so compared to a megaboat with a small amount of people.

ladino··on Face masks considerably reduce Covid-19 cases in Germany
beside:

Germany did not wear masks on the first shutdown in spring (same as Danmark and Sweden) - the were not available and they came as the spread already went down heading summer.

As for the headline, Germany has a strict shutdown at the moment.

ladino··on Future Predictions (after Corona)
- Door handles made of brass / copper (kill bacteria, viruses and fungi) are retrofitted in many households.

- Significantly less tourism in 2020. Maybe a peak in 2021.

- More divorces.

- Higher unemployment rate.

- Less globalization. There are other triggers for this, such as the current (and expected) US foreign policy.

- A shift in the age pyramid, with various consequences!

- Greater spread / acceptance of bidets. Spread of systems that retrofit a kind of bidet for western toilets.

- Faster changes to the law for drone deliveries.

- More privately owned firearms.

- More doomsday prepper.

- bank consolidation. Especially in the United States.

- I'm curious to see what happens to all of the sub-prime car loans in the United States that used to blow cars up to very poor Uber drivers. They drive for +/- 0 Uber and then drive to the 2nd and 3rd job. One of the jobs breaks away.

- Higher mortality rates for various diseases because hospitals and health systems are overloaded.

- More vegeterians and pasters.

- High capacity utilization in cemeteries, undertakers and crematoriums.

- Much, much more blatant two-tier medicine than before.

- Various airport businesses go bankrupt.

- Less just-in-time, but more local stocks / buffers. In all stations of the supply chain.

- Blatant price changes in food. The prices for mussels, eels and lobsters have dropped by up to 70% in some markets!

- A lot of assets will migrate from older generations to younger generations.

- More vertical farming, rooftop farming, rooftop bee keeping, etc. in cities.

ladino··on Ask HN: How do you organize document digests / personal knowledge?

ladino··on All-In-One Messenger 2.0 released - Gmail, Instagram, FB, Whatsapp ...
operates like Franz (https://meetfranz.com), but much more simple and minimalistic with less CPU usage.

Beside all the common messenger it supports new messenger like Instagram, Tinder etc. - Signal and „planed Messages“ are the next goals.

I personally like to have my Gmail account isolated from my default browser and stay logged out of Google while browsing the web.

It’s free and feedback is greatly appreciated! :)

ladino··on Show HN: All-in-One Messenger for Chrome - all messengers in one place
Hey, in the last couple of weeks we built a Chrome app that unifies a lot messenger platforms. It's a fun side project which is slowly gaining traction on the Chrome Web Store (2k users, organically grown). We have received a lot of positive feedback already, especially from Chrome OS users, but wanted to show it to a wider audience now.

As usual, if you have any questions about it feel free to ask us anything - we are happy about any feedback!

i just reviewed the source code and it only blocks a simple connection to /ajax/messaging/typ.php, /ajax/mercury/mark_seen.php, and /ajax/mercury/change_read_status.php.

good catch to reduce permissions.
