    Commandment of Control: Violations to Learn From...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Sounds like he knew the risks with being so reliant upon FB and waited two weeks too long on executing their exit strategy. It's not necessarily always a bad thing to have all your eggs in one basket, but you have to know the huge risk and plan accordingly. Sometimes it will work out...

    How do you build a high quality community (like this forum) from scratch?

    IDEA 
    Ahhh, finally a topic I can chime in on with some real experience. I've owned and operated online forums for over 20 years now, and still operate a handful today, mostly in the automotive enthusiast market. I can tell you that the success MJ has had here is on FLF is pretty tough to replicate in...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Hey @eliquid - question for you. Is it common to build an SAAS product (maybe a mobile app) with the intention of licensing it to business owners in a particular industry? Let's say I have an idea that I think would help Laundry Mat owners fix a pain point for their customers. Would creating an...

    The Video That Got Banned From YouTube. David Icke on C0VlD-19 and 5G

    One thing to consider here is that social media networks are not bastions for free speech. They are communities (and businesses), not too dissimilar to this forum we're posting in, which is run as a business and is moderated in a way to help create an atmosphere that works for the majority who...

    That's why I'm curious what the models have shown. You know the nation's leaders have run through different models based on the available data. If they shared those with us all, I wonder what the votes would be for the best approach.

    True, but it has the ability to be the single biggest contributing factor in the shortest period of time when you start comparing the options. Or have there been estimates and/or models that conflict with that assumption?

    I wonder what the models have been here in the US - we all know they've been running these models based on the data. These models won't be shown to us of course. Curious what the estimated loss of life would be if we did what @Kak suggested, directing everyone thought to be at highest risk of...

    I don't know that there will be a consensus on that, as some people have different levels of comfort when it comes to the loss of life. This is certainly going to bring everyone's view on that to the forefront. The world is about to get really cold, and many will be tested.

    That's the neighborhood app I was quoting in my post above - where people are telling a local senior who voiced a concern about the lack of social distancing at the park down the street to mind her own business and stay home if she's scared. I guess at least you can "mute" the trolls on there.

    Was thinking the same thing. People who are dismissing it most likely won't change their opinion unless/until one or more of the people they know are in the hospital in critical condition, or worse. It won't be real to them until it slaps them in the face. I just talked to my dad today. My...

    LOL, right. It would be funny to read those statements, since that hasn't been proven to be accurate so far. What has been widely accepted is that people with little or no symptoms have been found to spread the virus, and that the only true way to limit/slow the transmission and flatten the...

    C0VlD-19 Templates to Deal with Arising Social Issues

    HEALTH 
    This situation is going to force a lot of companies to finally learn how to manage telecommute employees. It's crazy how many companies aren't comfortable with their people working remotely. I finally got my company to approve me to work from home completely for the next two weeks - after...

    I've read multiple articles about this, and others have said it here too - the end game is to try and keep the initial spread lower in the beginning so that it doesn't overwhelm the healthcare system, which would result in more loss of life. It won't necessarily prevent people from getting it...

    That's assuming of course that the body will build immunity to it. There have been multiple reports of people in China who have recovered being tested positive for the virus weeks later. Of course it's difficult to know which sources are accurate, but that's a little concerning. There is a lot...

    Question about Toll Free phone numbers

    At my slow lane job we use a service called RingCentral to forward several toll free numbers to several different locations - mainly as a pass through to track call volume for different online efforts. We no longer need to track those phone numbers but we don't want to lose them - just in case...

    What's also unsettling is that a crisis like this, mixed with the deep division we've seen everywhere, could also easily spur radicalization. Beyond the healthcare system strain, beyond the people who will get sick, beyond the economic crash... the idea that this epidemic can, and will be used...

    I was a little less direct about it and asked what our company's approach was going to be for this just yesterday, letting the owners know that I can easily do all of my work from home (I already work from home 3 days a week). I figured maybe volunteering to work from home would be good form...

    Same here. That's the only reason I really use it, and the occasional checking in with a friend or family member every few months/years. Unfortunately, it's required for some business projects.
