Catastrophic failure at an aluminum extrusion line. Looks like an overpressure event and the oil itself (over a drop ceiling no less) open a portal to a demon dimension…

SIMPLE ECONOMICS:
Letting Twitter become the mecca for Covid psychopaths, bitcoin loonies, alternative medicine quacks, Russian agents, & promoters of sinister racist theories, will destroy the value of the platform.

When I buy @TheEconomist I do not expect Fox News.

It's hard to underestimate the size of the scandal that is ongoing in Germany now with regards to the government's Russia policy. Calling it the scandal of a century is not an overstatement, and it will haunt official Germany for a long time to come.

Gavekal's bottom-up analysis of China’s top 100 cities by GDP finds that all but 13 have imposed some form of quarantine restriction, and the intensity is increasing. We classified these cities from no restrictions (level 0) to full lockdown (level 4).

This is Germany's first big moral test. Another dictator is doing what Hitler did. Inconveniently for Germany, they get half their natural gas from him. Which will prevail, the principle that they of all countries should understand, or convenience?

Cardiac surgeons, airline pilots, night-guards, corporate lawyers, accountants, mafia caps, food inspectors, sky divers &... generals must be pessimistic.

Accordeon repairpersons, stand-up comedians, flight attendants, grammar specialists, gurus & BS vendors, must be optimistic.

So weird... saying that in the open... what effect on public opinion??

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Wow. China just threatened Canadians living in Hong Kong, in order to stop Canada from accepting Hong Kong refugees.

That is seriously bad.

USA: yes, the trend is clear. EU: with Germany depending on China sales and Italy on China investments, I am not sure anything is going to change.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

They say pilots are the most dangerous when they have about 200 hours. They have just enough experience to feel like they know what they're doing, without actually knowing what they're doing. We're at that stage with the coronavirus.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

"Within a week of its first confirmed case, South Korea’s disease control agency had summoned 20 private companies to the medical equivalent of a war-planning summit and told them to develop a test for the virus at lightning speed."

I am convinced many companies are planning for it seriously these days. And the scarcity of factory staff will push the cost of labor up fast in 2020, too.

#Manufacturing in China IS going to start soon, so what can be done to assure that suppliers are capable and the quality of products is still reaching your requirements if it's not possible to be on-site?

And they wouldn't understand why we think that way, because in their home country it is every day business...

A provocative headline for what might be the start of a heavy trend

#crowdfunding has emerged as one of the main sources of funding for hardware #startups (and many other ventures).
However, entrepreneurs need to think about all the pros and cons of raising money this way... https://t.co/FH4TMtU9ud #kickstarter #indiegogo
