Episode 53: Corporate Winners; Uber vs. L.A.; and "Life After" Robotics

Listen to the full episode here:
http://killingit.libsyn.com/episode-53-corporate-winners-uber-vs-la-and-life-after-robotics

We're staying positive in our home offices. But we've all got lots of online activity scheduled.

Mentioned: Dave and Sharon's how-to video on hosting a virtual party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwt6hYdwUD8 and how to be a good guest at a virtual party: https://youtu.be/GLRmHARTsic .

Topic 1: Companies "doing it right" in the current environment.

Many companies are suddenly facing a new environment - and one most were not prepared for. How are they responding? We talk a few winners out there. For example:

Paypal is delaying payments on their "Working Capital" loans for ninety days. BMW - suspend the next two payments. Both of these are designed to avoid a negative hit on your credit report.

Messaging with the right tone: Examples include Nike "Stay together at home," Coca Cola, and Burger King.

Topic 2: L.A. Wants Uber's Big Data

Uber Sues the city of Los Angeles over access to their big data. And of course this leads into the discussion of data availability . . . and even into our previous conversation about the Contract for the Web.

Topic 3: "Life After" segment: Robotics & automation

Wherein we pick a technology to discuss what it will look like “after” the current economic downturn is over.

Book referenced: A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink. Also a great audio book.

Listen to the full episode here:
http://killingit.libsyn.com/episode-51-msp-legislation-covid-19-the-economy-and-robot-bosses

First, a note from listener Chris.

Issue clarification Link:

https://www.informationweek.com/cdc-plagued-by-virus-of-a-different-strain/d/d-id/1051659

Topic 1: Louisiana Secretary of State on Defining MSPs

We do a little analysis on Dave's interview on his Business of Tech podcast. What consitutes “malpractice” for an IT service provider?

“If self-regulation doesn’t work, the government will step in.”

And, of course, how will legislation define MSPs and MSSPs?

Link: https://www.mspradio.com/podcast/mon-march-9-2020-an-interview-with-louisiana-secretary-of-state-kyle-ardoin/

Topic 2: COVID-19 and a Possible Recession

I'm not any of us understands what's going on with the Covid-19 virus or with the economy. But there definitely appears to be a connection. We analyze a bit for the IT consultants out there.

Topic 3: Robots aren't taking our jobs, they are becoming our bosses

An interesting twist from The Verge. AI without humanity can be very stressful. We speculate on what this means and where we're heading.

All of us travel a lot. Some notes from Karl’s travels to Thailand and Cambodia, etc.

We also discuss several industry cancellations and the longer-term implications of this on the broader economy. Since this recording (a couple days a go), CompTIA's CCF, Channel Partners, and South by Southwest have all canceled.

Other comments on caution vs. panic, supply chain, Christmas sales, and more.

Topic 2: Technology in Cambodia

Karl’s notes from the field, particularly with regard to sensitive humanitarian work and the effect of China/Cambodia relationships. How this relates to the sex slave trade. The economics of working with other countries.

Again: How does this reality affect your, your clients, and their business?
