Again, the number of people who this impacts is so small that it's hardly significant. Sure, here on HN I'm sure it seems that everyone is confused, but we're hardly a representative sample here.

> has trademark problems

Honestly I don't buy this. When you trademark something, you do so in a very specific manner, and I think Screen's market is specific enough as to defend a trademark in the screen sharing/collaboration segment _should they even choose to trademark the name_, which they can easily choose not to do.

It likely won't be. But it'll take a few months for it either to be back to business as usual, or a few months for the economy to adjust to the new reality of takeout and greater ecommerce focus.
I want to be careful throwing shade because I apparently know some people involved in this, and they are smarter than me, but this is pretty basic. Take a whack at the 2019 final exam for a flavor of where they're at.

The CORS content is solid. But the vulnerabilities themselves are dated. As a threshold concern, a 2020 web security class needs to be teaching about SSRF, the most important current web bug class. OAuth flows would be another thing I'd hope to see covered.

There's always going to be new stuff that can't be covered; I understand how these curricula work†, and don't expect HTTP Request Smuggling or DNS fingerprinting on the final. But system("cat ${input}")?

† The network security course taught at major CS research universities was written at one place like 10 years ago and shared and handed down from semester to semester; I assume something similar happens here.

PS

3 hours is a bananas amount of time to get for this exam. We're speedrunning it on Slack and the median is closer to 15 minutes (albeit without writing careful answers). If this were a commuter school with students who don't come in knowing how to code, sure; but this is Stanford CS!

Not low risk of getting hospitalized and having permanent or long-lasting lung damaged. Do you want compromised breathing for the next 5 years?
Anecdotal: my wife and I are friends with two ER nurses, one in Maryland and one in St. Louis, and my reports mirror what they're telling us.
Very naively here (and prob wrong in many aspects) but I expect those you are talking about to have leverage on these decisions unlike us (the lowly pleb); I don't expect a bank ceo choosing to take that giantic hit of a burden when it can just be pushed globally on the society. You could even argue that if a bank is able to do thay, they could do it anyday and not require a pandemic event.

Still, a stronger argument is that a bank is a business overall. They live out of debt. That kind of hit could also kill the bank I believe.

Early, in the article, is a statement about the States rejection of Trump's hinting at loosening social distancing measures, not Reuters' opinion. Though all news is editorial to some extent, choosing to amplify the states' voices here is a choice, and reporting on their resistance to the president is also.

You're over thinking this, or trying to start a controversial argument. That violate's HN's rules.
I think it's generational, knowledge domain, and probably also sort of being jerks in that if their response is "screen isn't new and yes I've heard of it... have you heard of tmux?"
it sounds like typical programmer one-upmanship.

I mean either they think you are significantly less informed than them and you actually think GNU screen is new, or they are using the chance to make a quick joke of not particularly startling originality.

Because if they do think you know what GNU screen is then they must think this new tools you're referring to isn't it.
This is the same reason why HNers at the time failed to see why Dropbox succeeded and curl + git + sftp on Linux isn't sufficient for end users to solve their problem [0]. They just don't care about your GNU tools, even if it does better at SEO.

How do you balance/deal with "security shaming", which is proven to put you further at risk as an organization?

There is some interesting research from the UK Government in this space - https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/trouble-phishing#section_3

The relevant bit:

"If just one user reports a phish, you can get a head start on defending your company against that phishing campaign and every spotted email is one less opportunity for attackers...but phishing your own users isn't your only option.

Try being more creative; some companies have had a lot of success with training that gets the participants to craft their own phishing email, giving them a much richer view of the influence techniques used. Others are experimenting with gamification, making a friendly competition between peers, rather than an 'us vs them' situation with security."
> The course's main goal is to prepare the student for further studies in the "field" of data science.

Does the material seem to have major gaps for DS to anyone else? There's no pandas, no matplotlib, no ML. It seems like more a tutorial with a computer science focus, with recursion and bit manipulation. Those are great programming topics but rarely used by data scientists. For that I would probably use .py files, not jupyter notebooks. It just doesn't align with my experience as a Python-based data scientist.

I've been thinking about this on and off and at the moment I'm feeling like automatically collecting log information is a good approach, at least for me, so that I can set and forget until I'm ready to explore. I really like the way that smart watches are making this easier.

I use an iPhone and I've been wondering whether there are any good tools that can automatically collect some information about my activities on the device, sort of like the screen time utility-- off the top of my head:
* send an email
* time notetaking
* time and address of web pages visited...

Keeping a uniform activity log of what I'm doing on my devices would be something that I could use to go back over and figure out what I've actually accomplished, review it against my goals...

Then fine, we just keep moving on and accept deaths from the virus in the same way as we do for deaths from the flu or road traffic accidents. However that is absolutely NOT the situation we are in. If we do nothing, significant numbers of people will die from the virus. If we completely shutdown the economy, significant numbers of people will die from lack of access to essential services. What we decide to do matters a great deal. There is no reason to be fatalistic.
This isn't just about listening to the experts. Ultimately, we need to make a value judgment between saving lives now vs saving the economy. There's no clear answer when a stronger economy saves future lives.
Those aren't mutually exclusive. Japanese people can accuse their government of not responding effectively even though the Japanese government is doing a better job than the US.

Really? You're "upset" about that at a time like this? Think about how absurd that is. People are dying.

Might I suggest taking this down time to perform some serious self reflection?
To be honest, I’ve never considered trademarking the name. We just want to build a product that works and is loved by its users. It’s really quite simple! :)
Definitely bad timing. My experience with names: they are never good enough.

What I look for in a name:

1. If I say it out loud, you know how to write it.

2. If I say it out loud today, you remember it tomorrow.

On that 2 criteria, Riot works quite well I think.
Dr. Fauci, for instance. He hasn't wavered on the need for social distancing.
We have a google home but when its not in use its not turned off; it's unplugged.
The president's actions, specifically his lack of action, are a huge part of why the pandemic is so bad in the US. I hope people remember that he is the reason for the late action, the bungled tests, the lack of cdc funding, the lack of preparedness and stockpiles. And ultimately, he is the reason we will have way more deaths that could have been prevented. Even now we don't have the proper testing capability. We don't have masks and the government is still lying about their effectiveness. 60k testing kits is nothing. He's still not doing what he could and should. I'm glad states are no longer listening to this administration. Doing that would kill a lot more people. Trump and his administration can go fuck themselves. And at this point, so can the people who still stand behind this president who is so callous to so many Americans dying. It's almost impossible to imagine a worse response than what has happened. I hope the markets do not recover before the election as, unfortunately, the mass unnecessary suffering and deaths of Americans will likely be forgotten by many voters if they do.
It's bad in that there's already a very popular game company named Riot (Games) which everyone refers to as 'Riot'.

I would love to get rid of my Echos and lock down my network, but I can't find a self-hosted & open source smart home voice solution that can match the Alexa ecosystem. I do have my smart home on a separate network that's highly monitored, but I really wish I could completely lock it down so it couldn't talk to the outside world at all. I would be totally willing to pay for a self-hosted solution to Alexa just for smart home automation/control
As long as everyone in public wears a mask, it's not really important how good it is as long as it covers the mounth and the nose. This is because you basically switch from protecting the wearer to protecting other from infected asymptomatic wearer.

In such a case even a simple home made mask does wonders in preventing infected droplets contaminating a wide area around the wearer, not to mention the benefit of reducing hand based contamination due to not being able to touch your mouth and nose.

Due to this the Czech government introduced mandatory mask wearing (including self made) in public - if you don't wear one, the police will first warn you and then you get a hefty fine if you still don't comply. Also Slovakia (a neighboring country) just introduced the same.

As for protecting medical personel - yep they definitely need the best protective equipment tjey can get, to prevent even more of them getting infected (there have already been cases for medical personel, police & firefighters). For that reason an "air bridge" has been established that regularly airlifts PPE from china, even including one of the NATO leased gigantic AN-124s.

That way both regular people are protected (from infecting each other) and first line responders as well (by proper air lifted PPE).

Foe this reason ot feels worrying or almost sad to see the reaction in te UK and USA slowly waking up to the seriousness of the whole situation.

- we have no PPE for first line workers, but rest assured it has been ordered (unless its in plane and in the air now, it's too late, should have been done weeks ago)

- not enough beds/ventilators (should have cleared hospitals of elective surgeries and non acute cases)

- cant tell people to wear masks as there are none (tell them to make some or face a fine)

- people still congregating in bars and restaurants (you should have closed those long ago)

- with schools and day care closed first line responders have nowhere to put their children (keep some vare centers open to care of children of critical workers)

- people are not respecting our guidance (well, then it should not be a guidance but punishable emergency state ordnance)

Hopefully others can get up to speed quickly before it is too late. The local emergency measures in Czech Republichave been pretty strict, but so far (and I really hope not to jinx it) seem to be working. Arround 1200 infected so far with smaller Neighboring Austria havig 5 thousand. Still two people died... But at lest the people on ventilators are still in the tens.
I do feel for you :) but at the same time I think Markdown, the tool, is not to blame for this.

I write most of my documentation in Markdown or just plain text files. The reason is simple, I want the same focus that I had when writing the code. Doing a context switch from code/IDE to html/Web is a nightmare for me. If that would be mandatory for some reason, my documentation would suffer from more bitrot then it does now.
LaTeX is a pretty good fit for this. If you're sticking close to an existing document class, it's very easy to use and will probably look decent without much effort.

However, it can sometimes be very frustrating to get something exactly how you want it. You move this \mbox and it bumps something else, which gets moved into something else, and so on until your desk has an imprint of your head.

Cash is king.

(full disclosure: Protonmail and VPN subscriber, donate to Marcel Borkhorst M66B for his excellent Netguard app, never had FB/IG accounts, and only used Twitter once to solve an issue with TMobile's TForce, which was shockingly efficient, never had the app).
Things would work both ways, of course. For me the difference is a) the extent to which I want to make the domain model explicit, and b) how much I value build-time elimination of bugs vs run-time flexibility.

Data-driven approaches leave a lot implicit, meaning that it can be hard to answer the question, "What's really possible here?" And they can only be verified to the extent you have all the data, which usually means a lot of checks are deferred to run time.
Easy to criticize on the sideline. There's a line between increasing deaths or a great depression, you must know the answer so please tell us.
I'm seeing lots of experts talking about the potential deaths if we don't shut down.

I'm not seeing a lot of experts giving estimates of the ramifications of economic fallout here. Just politicians worried about their reelection and business people worried about their personal fortune.

I'm sure they are out there. But right now they are overshadowed by professional doofs like Larry Ludlow.
I agree that spacers are better than margins (and sometimes better than paddings, when people use paddings as margins). Since whitespace is almost always between A and B, ideally the piece of code defining whitespace would be between the pieces of code that are responsible for A and B.

For example, it feels nice to define margin or padding on a <p> element, but what does that mean - distance between two paragraphs? Between paragraph and heading? Between paragraph and bulleted list? Using spacers seems like the only way out of this madness.

> a month's worth of food takes less space than a month's worth of TP.

I can just barely imagine a month's worth of food fitting in the space of 3-4 TP rolls, but it would be some extremely calorically dense stuff, and if that was what I ate I likely wouldn't need much of the TP.

In other words, I can't see how this is possibly true unless you have digestive issues one way or the other.
The question nobody wants to ask is, how many books are the same?

We know that maps deliberately contain copyright traps. Is this done with other reference material? How would we know?

> Mandatory situps as a punishment sounds like a good idea honestly

It's rather unequal (for some people it's literally not a punishment, for others it's tortuous), and (less so if it is a voluntary alternative to a citation which has usual due process) it is also a denial of due process if it is summary punishment instituted by the police without judicial oversight.

It's easy to say Trump is crazy when you're a privileged tech worker who can work from your nice home office and not worry about money running out or the unemployment line.

Meanwhile, in the real world, we can't shut down the global economy for months without dire consequences. Shortages, civil unrest, total anarchy are the next things coming if we keep this shutdown going. If you're not a fan of violent crime, or don't have a lot of guns, I'd recommended considering opening the economy sooner than later.

Here is a measured piece by an actual expert. We need to start getting the least vulnerable back to work and school, while keeping the most vulnerable isolated. Eventually we can let everyone out, but we need to keep the gears moving in the meantime.
