In Korea they tested randomly at mass scale in the beginning.... This explain their success...
Impact on HiFi sales
I'm just curious as what holds in our future regarding buying, selling of used and new gear with our new "norm" . How many brick and mortar shops will be decimated? How many manufacturers will cease to exist or not be what they once were in a very short time?
My fear is that this niche, hobby, passion and obsession will fade except for the very well to do.
Just a thought regarding our new norm.we all face now.

A.I. at the help of humanity.... Fascinating and scary... https://news.yahoo.com/ai-tool-predicts-coronavirus-patients-deadly-wet-lung-184124238.html Trump will use A. I. to help him detect whose will vote for him, whose not... In one of his last speech he speaks about keeping the restaurants opened... It is akin to the fire of Rome and Nero asking if his beloved theaters were ok...Except Nero was too young to be senile.... Read history.... It is interesting.... |
heaudio123 Edison is great but ressemble more Ford than a Steinmetz or a Tesla….There is a myth about the 2 but when you scratch the surface of these 2 myths the character of Edison link it more to an innovator like Ford or Westinghouse, than to a great inventor like Tesla or a theorician and inventor like Steinmetz...Edison stole and not only invent, he was an innovator and creator of the modern aspect of invention...Tesla is a myth that cannot be debunked completely because the myth veil some facts.... A very simple test: Ask yourself why Einstein were jealous of the reputation of Tesla but not of Edison even if Edison was more well known at the times... A journalist ask Einstein what it is the feel to be a genius...Einstein answer sarcastically that he must go to ask Tesla... Tesla was also a mathematical genius, it is not the case for Edison...For the rest of the argument a simple review of the number of patents and the circonstance of their origins will reveal the truth....Many books were written about that... Sometimes myth is a mountain that does not surpass the mountain of truth... But sometimes the mountain of truth exceed even the mythical mountain :Archimedes is a myth, but the truth is greater than the myth because most people cannot fathom the true genius of Archimedes...Even today... The case of Tesla is almost the same.... my conclusion :Steinmetz rival Tesla, not Edison... I am one who like to read and in no way a scientist, this is only my impression, but it is simple fact to verify this thesis.... Tesla’s actual accomplishments are 3 phase power and AC induction motor. He contributed very little else those fan boys will attribute all kinds of things to him. His nemesis Edison has far more actual inventions to his name.A journalist ask Tesla why Marconi invent the radio before him.... He answer it is very simple with 17 of my patents in the hand....By the way this reductive description of the accomplishment of Tesla is ludicrous to say the least....I understand that you hate myths, but I love myths, and I can investigate them also and I do....Archimedes is in the same boat, you cannot reduce his greatness to one or 2 facts....His mathematical method was 1500 years in advance upon his time and was only completely understood perhaps only in this century with the works of Reviel Nietz... |
The last Chinese study of today with a control group confirming Raoult : https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.22.20040758v1 But it is only a step to the road: a scientific demonstration of the efficiency of the drug...It will take more time.... But all indication are now positive coming from many places...Hope is possible …. |
yes glupsonian wisdom exist also.... why do you think I speak with you? this is my words in my precedent post: I will trust much really more the observation sense of glupson than mine.I prefer glupsonian observation tough, more than some glupsonian question.... :) But the 2 are linked to one another....for sure.... |
I am in the same boat than you... I have responsabilities here and I am not alone... But I am not in the front... I have time to read and think for sure...I cannot go out because of the risk for my family like most in America now... I retired from my work 8 months ago...I had good intuition...It would have been catastrophic for me being going on working now like almost all experienced it in America ... |
glupson there is NO scientific fact demonstration that the Raoult drug works.... There exist only a therapeutic methodology that Raoult create that SEEMS to work empirically tested each day on the field battle by him... All the world interest for this drug begins after Raoult, who is the top Virologist on the planet, has alert alone all the world, after the first results of his own protocol, alone after being bashed in the french media by all pharma and political scientists near Macron ...Macron is now doomed trust me... Is Raoult right? For the requirement of a judge asking for circumstantial evidence outclassing reasonable doubts yes... For the requirement of a rigorous scientific protocol, no, and even Raoult know that, it is a first class scientist...But he is first and foremost in his heart a simple doctor and he knows very well than weeks of delay means deaths by a great load, then he cannot wait for first class science paper...Like the great Poincaré saying he is an engineer first and foremost speaking proudly of himself, after inspecting and explaining the causes of some mine catastrophic accident in France, even if being the first and foremost greater mathematician in the world at this time... Raoult is An Hippocrates disciple before being a scientist, he go out of his ivory tower to cure the patients that now comes in mass to his hospital and laboratory enormous center immediately after his first public declaration about the drug without rebuking anyone...A truly courageous man....Alone against all other political or big pharma doctor of France...His first report about chloroquine was even for 3 days described "fake news" by many media in France , but even in the french general public and crowds of journalists who knows first that he was the top virologist in the world?.... This is the matter of a thriller better than the ordinary novel... When T-rex was relaying the Raoult drug news , because he need a salvation plank, this became a truly world event in the making with some negative effects , caused by the lack of this drug face to a big demand now, already used for other diseases and at the detriment of those patients, causing even the death of some ingenuous people for example, who tried aquarium chloroquine, without knowing the differences between chloroquine for aquarium, chloroquine for therapeutic, and hydroxychloroquine the drug use by Raoult...And creating even the real fake news mixing the real and unreal danger of chloroquine... |
Glupson I am like you in the reverse direction... I am a bit too passionate and gullible yes.... But sometimes it is necessary to be so....And I prefer to be so, my pleasure is exploring many roads at the risk of being lost... But sometimes event contradict me... For example in the midst of this crisis Macron gain support contradicting what I was just saying... In the midst of terror people solidarity exceed reason and reflexion….But I know that he is doomed and hope so.... Same situation for T-Rex... |
Love outweigh anything glupson….Ask any mother.... :) Some executioner was torturing Al-Hadj, one of the great mystic of all times, and saying to him why do you put your blood on your forehead, he answer slowly with a smile, because I dont want that you confuse the whiteness of my face with anger or fear... I like the story.... |
Some crazy fact about social distantiation and sneeze : A mini droplet can go to 17 feet distance... Funny and scary measurement : https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=117&v=0f4sUNWkq60&feature=emb_logo |
No I am not a worker on the frontline and I have nothing to say or ask for.... But many health care persons have something to say, no doubts about that, and I will not judge any for speaking their mind....In China when one of them speak in the beginning they shout him out....Here we listen to them.... I listened to a video with an ambulance worker in New-York that speak about his difficulties and jobs problems... It was tough... |
Sheer genius.:) Not at all, only observation...But I am very bad at observation myself generally being an impractical fellow, a dreamer, and a reader... I will trust much really more the observation sense of glupson than mine....But nobody is perfect including me, and excluding geoffkait for sure… :) |
tablejockey welcome to quarantine ! |
Inna,I think you over evaluate audio....In 6 months how many would need to sell their luxuries at high speed? I think that what is valued 10 k will be selling 1 K at most... The economic crisis will be comparable only to the 1930 one... the guy who predict the 2008 crisis clearly, Nouriel Roubini, says it will perhaps be worse that the great depression....We will need to clone F.D. R. I hope to be completely wrong with him.... Perhaps , but even for me it seems to go this way... A glimpse of hope is that the french drug was confirmed by a Chinese study this morning with a blind group test... The more swiftly we quit this pandemic the less probable we go depression... |
We cannot talk about something or some people....Because we will be erased...And in the next weeks or months, nobody will talk about audio....Then, why some will be here nevertheless, perhaps to speak their mind freely between friends....I hate no one....But speaking our mind is the beginning of tolerance and understanding even in complete opposition of perspectives.... |
erik_squires I think you are totally right...I think the same but fear more than you to make it clear to others but to myself also... Truth is a difficult bride to live with.... The actual economic crisis is for the first time in history a global crisis with a complete going down of all indicators, including supply and demand worldwide ...The geopolitical tremors coupled with social uprising, with decreasing reserve of alimentation world wide will create a tsunami of sufferings... We must pray or go inside at least... |
Max Planck institute is not a complotist institution... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck_Society If they search about artemisia is for good scientific reason...By the way they know the difference between in vitro and in vivo....They even read Latin language... Absinth is only one plant in the artemisia family.... For malaria the "artemisia annua" is the most used in study.... |
France is politically almost in war, because of the situation about the corona virus.... Macron had no choice and go to meet the doctor because he work with success at Marseilles....It is a political meeting for him... I think he is desperate at the moment.... This is tragedy in many countries, France is no exception... |
Not everyone is going to be in poor financial shape, either now or in six monthsThe memory of the great depression are not the same for all people....Many very rich people were smiling in the 1933 asking why this stupid FDR. propose his new deal probably... And when I speak of the great depression I speak about the world for some years to come …. But humanity will recover swiftly yes in how many years? A few years after chaos...It is coming a new age with a spiritual insight in his own history and true democracy.... Or absolute terrifying totalitarian corporate technocracy.... The choosing is ours....The black swans of climate changes and of the geopolitical conflicts will direct humanity to a greater consciousness i have no doubt about that... I will stop my rant here.... I am a bit nervous this evening.... :) |
China has 4 times the US population.... With many different layers of social wealth, from the poor peasant to the Billionaires of Shangai... An example from history: China developed an internal navigation network very complex … in the 16 Th century they create boats 10 times bigger than any European navy....They go to commerce in Indian ocean and in Africa... Do you know why they dont extend their empire around the world? Because why conquering apes if they already sell you something precious and buy your goods? China had 4 thousand years of continuous history... Before the 16th century they invent all that exist to be invented and export it to Europa trough commercial road...If you dont trust me read Joseph Needham the great english biologist and foremost expert of Chinese science and art...His Science and Civilisation in China is finished with 27 volumes... Occidental powers commit suicide right before our eyes right now by laziness of the mind after 4 centuries of creative and conquering hubris in the succession of the Roman Empire.... Someone who think Chinese are stupid only reveal his own ignorance.... But there is hope, we owns a treasure for humanity more precious than anything, freedom and democracy.... What will we do of that in the years to come? |
"Oh, the CCP says they are. But everything from electricity consumption to traffic patterns to air pollution levels says they are not."Have you ever think one second that there is NO demand now because all the world lack money and if not, is on standby because of the quarantine of half of humanity.... The Wuhan region is only a fraction of China, and completely locked for many months, they are controlling the pandemics like they controlled already many others over 4 thousand years by drastic means and intelligent one also.... But the communist dictatorship has his years of powers very limited now...But it will not be the end of China...Our own ultra liberal capitalistic way is condemned also and already dead before our eyes... |
Western countries must learn their lesson, and reinventing themselves by rediscovering their own roots.... Capitalism in the old fashion is dead.... Communism is dead for a long times already, china communism will be dead in the months to come or years...Global participation is not global capitalism.... Independence for the soul... (spirit and culture) Sovereignty for each nation...(politics) Association for all...( economy) These 3 principles must not be confused with one another and rules each at his level without crushing the others principles... |
You seem to be unaware of the fact that working on some research does not mean that results will be what you thought they would.If you read my post the news I report, was about artemisia....And the tale I tell about after viewing an interesting video about Madagascar experience with artemisia was about the paper of Max Planck institute research announcement few days ago about ARTEMISIA... The news seems to me interesting to report for the hope this drug to come will perhaps be successful...Max Planck institute is the most serious german science institute.... |
You would think that being a president of France at this moment, you may not have time to travel for photo opportunities.I never said that.... I said for political reason....The strategy adopted by Raoult was more wise than the "scientific" advisors around Macron, ( hundred of doctors in France think that and say that) and the popular reaction,coupled with the worlwide publicity around the successful action of the Doctor force Macron to make this move and consultation.... |
