another free @zoom_us feature idea—from @Julie_LGreen:

• "sound-moji" In addition to wave and thumbs up, why not applause, sighs, oohs (for demos), and more. (Of course make sure to support universal design). Why not aggregate the sound to hear at once—aka round of applause?

[B]y the time SARS-CoV-2 was first detected in late 2019, it was already pre-adapted to human transmission…However, no precursors or branches of evolution stemming from a less human-adapted SARS-CoV-2-like virus have been detected. 🤔biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Wuhan seafood market probably wasn't origin of coronavirus pandemic, Chinese scientists say [in a peer reviewed paper in Nature]. The simple view that this just jumped to people is seemingly far more complex. A lot of steps required. newsweek.com/wuhan-seafood-…

Microsoft: we were wrong about open source theverge.com/2020/5/18/2126… // it isn't fair to place this all on Steve. Microsoft was founded on the principle that software was intellectual property. Some of what I experienced… 1/
2/ Times were different when Microsoft started. There was no network distribution. In fact it cost money (COGS) to distribute software. But also, most all software came with expensive and proprietary (leased) hardware. If it didn't, it came w/ expensive consultants forever (IBM).

// Having grown up in Orlando, I know every small change at Disney is met w/ massive pushback. Masks are no different. 🤦‍♂️ usatoday.com/story/travel/n…

1/ STILL here’s a journey of personal protection/health changes I’ve seen in my lifetime each with puzzling/indescribable pushback.
2/ In the late 1960s just as I was entering school, states were passing mandatory vaccination laws. I remember going to Dr Newman to get a “shot” before day camp and school. I remember kids not being allowed in school “until they get their shots”. This was for polio and measles. Table from 1969 listing states and vaccine requirements laws
3/ In 1970s, when skateboarding saw its first mass commercial uptake at first no one wore helmets. Not even pros. As skateboard parks opened they were required. We wore CCM or Cooper hockey helmets to skate. Pros (skaters or hockey) were exempt until sponsors required. (That me) Pro skateboarder without helmetPro skateboarder with helmet@stevesi skating
