Do you have any source for that? It sounds insane.

Hospitals need all the workforce they can get. No matter what they do now, during the pandemic, there will be no shortage of patients. And I suppose it is in their best financial interest to treat as many as possible, and it means a lot of personnel.

Having it the other around makes a lot more sense: doctor doesn't feel safe because of a lack of PPE, refuses to work, gets fired, complains about it. If that's the situation, it is not about whistle-blowing, it is about the right to stop working if the conditions aren't safe. Both are (or should be) basic workers rights, but these are very different things.
I'm doing my classes online with Zoom. For whatever reason, under Wayland I can not choose individual windows to share--I can only share the whole desktop. I switched to Xorg and now I can share individual windows in Zoom. I honestly don't care to support proprietary software, but application writers must do extra work to support both.

I can imagine some impatient parents will start black listing Kidz Bop videos or anything else that bothers them. It will also lead to some very creative punishments. Like blocking online gaming.
This is hardly Zoom-related. This attack can easily be executed from Word files and malicious web pages in the right circumstances.

Microsoff should really disable this insecure method of authentication to public addresses for everyone but business users who rely on it (and whose IT department can manually enable the feature through group policy). There are sort-of-valid reasons to use SMB over the internet (easy network printing for one, as well as mounting disks in networks that still hand out publicly routable IPv4 addresses such as universities) and closing the port would break that functionality immediately.

Why should every residential ISP in the world need to cover up for Microsoft's design flaw? This bug is presented as news but it has been a known security issue for at least 6 years now.
There is a hypothesis that life emerged because living things dissipate energy more efficiently[0]. As one possible implication, individual immortality given humanity as we know it might appear counter to that goal. As a more far-fetched implication, evolving humanity in a way that motivates accelerating efficiency of energy capture and dissipation even as individual longevity increases could theoretically unexpectedly inch us closer to immortality.

It's not relevant, because then the developer can release a new major version and require a new payment. The user will know exactly what changes this new major version has, and can decide whether he wants to pay for it or not.

With subscriptions however, this all becomes hidden/vague. You're always paying, but it's no longer transparent what exactly it is you're paying for. Which is obviously very bad for the user.

This. My father was laid off in Belgium after working for the (US) company for 33 years and got an amazing severance package totalling almost 3 years salary. He was planning to take retirement in 3 years anyway, so it just meant he got to take it earlier, with a fully funded final salary pension.

Using a safe word to unlock is brilliant. Why require iCloud or web access at all, though? Hide a configuration page behind the safe word as well. You could also have another secret word to instantly trigger your silent alarms.

Also, if the author wanted to keep the web site discreet, just have a landing page that talks about "This is the greatest hang man game of all time, blah , blah" and underneath have ads/badges for "Save the whales", "Feed the Starving Children" and "Prevent Domestic Abuse." When they click the abuse "ad", they get additional information that's actually about the app.

One could argue that legitimate software acting like malware is an issue in and of itself.
Forgive me for second commenting, but I missed one salient point: the genesis of this discussion is that Bill Gates would like the entire economy to shut down. My argument is that gates should instead be looking to inject significantly more cash separate from his foundation, directly into our economy, before he starts demanding the economy shut down.

Emissions based scans like PET/SPECT use positrons/gamma rays released by an infused tracer for imaging things like hungry tumors (labeled glucose) but can also be used to image other molecules or receptors. Very low resolution. Usually overlayed on CT scans.

Ultrasound has become the best point of care imaging for a lot of things.
Are you volunteering to die a painful death?

That's a harsh over-response to this particular comment, but I've read your follow-up comments below, and you seem to be dismissing the human cost far too easily.

You're bored and frustrated as someone experiencing a lockdown, and there is definitely a case to be made for balancing out economic harm with human deaths, but you're not making that case. You don't seem to be adequately weighing the difference between 200,000 and 2,000,000 people dead at all.

Far from stupid or irresponsible, a total lockdown would likely literally save millions of lives. The impact of several million lives on the economy is a big one.
In the UK (and probably many other European countries) it's usual to have an initial probationary period of 6 months - notice required from either side to terminate in that window is 1 week.

I don't think it's helpful to the argument to pretend that stronger worker rights make it harder to hire when all of the signs point to that being little more than a talking point that isn't based in reality.

They're horrible. The 3rd harmonic is just a few dB down.
And like most places who try to swap resource extraction for tourism they will find that it pays a lot less. States like West Virginia still haven't recovered from the collapse of coal jobs starting in the 1980s, even with tourism. Even in states like Colorado, being a liftie doesn't pay nearly as well as being a hard rock miner.

Streamlabs OBS has support for alerts (subs/followers, donations, etc), themes, overlays/widgets, etc. Most livestreamers use it for a more interactive experience. Just depends on what you need.
I imagine that this limitation is fairly common, although it probably wouldn't cost them any more to move to truncating at 512 characters or something like that. There has to be a limitation at some point to prevent denial of service attacks caused by hashing super long passwords. Maybe 32 characters seemed like a reasonable choice when they set the system up. I'm guessing that a large number of rounds of a secure hash function on 32 chars is more secure than a smaller number of rounds on 64 chars (given that most passwords are well under 32 characters long).

>Yes it has a good chance to work

So, in other words, it is a good strategy if you genuinely are very interested in working for that particular company. Sure, sending out hundreds of form emails is a different strategy. But I'm not sure it's a better one.

Mind you, I'm not necessarily advocating, say, doing an unpaid internship in general--though that may be the price of admission in some industries. i.e. Spending multiple months for a shot at a position. But spending a day researching and preparing for an outreach to a company you think you'd really like to work for doesn't strike me as excessive.

I have a mathematics degree from Waterloo, where I was employed through their co-op program for two years as a 3D graphics developer for SideFX's Houdini, working on the 3D viewport. I then moved into augmented virtual reality (as we called it), researching developing mapping systems for a company which sold to Facebook, Sulon technologies. After that I worked for Teledyne Optech, the leading Lidar company, developing their mapping suite software. At the present I am working on building a startup developing an analytics suite software using NLP for M&A law firms. Ideally I would find some part-time remote work (30 hours is still okay) so I can continue with my business, but I am willing to cut my losses given the right opportunity. Thanks!

The Rule of Three (2017)
One example: keeping Preview and Program windows open (common for realtime stream prep/mgmt) on Mac with OBS will kill your frame rate (dropping 20%+ of frames) due to GPU rendering issues in Qt [1]. Streamlabs has no issues with this. I guess there's a question about whether that == "robust", but in terms of the app's features performing as it should, I would guess so.

Some simple/weird workarounds: literally move the Preview window offscreen, and/or open a Windowed Projector (popup) for Preview (but again keep Preview off screen).

This makes me laugh. I started a sentence on facilitating partner networks and got a fairly good line that I might have read from a white paper.

Maybe one of the biggest upsides from AI will be highlighting how predictable our thoughts are. If you can use neural nets to create impressionist paintings, I'm sure we'll quickly get to the point where we can autocomplete our cleverest quips.

At the risk of sounding cynical, I think most conversations are comprised by the brain's autocomplete. Very little comes from a fresh place. Top voted comments on HN, Reddit, Twitter come in various familiar patterns. This comment right here even feels a bit stale as do a lot of my own tweets and musings.

The optimist angle is to think that after AI can populate these threads for us or guess at our conversations, we'll either (a) fall gradually into a contemplative silence or (b) up our game and only write/speak when we can clear the minimum thresholds of predictability.

I love chatting with my girlfriend. She says highly predictable things, but in an animated and lovely way. So as a third option, perhaps we'll (c) start focusing on the non-verbal expressions that are harder for AI to replicate. Something where its attempts to replicate would fall into the valley of the uncanny in its siege of our last stronghold: that highest point from which our mechanical brains are infused with life.
>The climate impact of individuals living in the city vs those living in the suburbs is considerable.

Yes, but in the opposite direction of what you imply.

>More people living away from the city increases deforestation

Why would that be the case? Almost all deforestation is for land for farming, not for houses. How much oil is burned growing food and shipping it and storing it and lighting and cooling stores to sell it?

>is a net negative as far as lifestyle is concerned.

Not everyone values the same materialistic things you do.

>I work in the commercial arts world

That's a make-work industry that doesn't need to exist. Consider the massive environmental impact of your industry, and how it adds absolutely no value to society at all. Yet you want to stop people from living further away from massive disease spreading urban centers and growing their own food at a cost of zero burned oil?
Huh! Did some quick Googling:

> YouTube Restrict works by re-mapping YouTube IP addresses to the CNAME restrict.youtube.com (or restrictmoderate.youtube.com). It means that instead of visiting YouTube at their normal IP addresses, you will re-route the traffic to a special load balancer provided by Google that will block access to non children friendly videos.

Does anyone have a good reccomendation for an HF transceiver? It seems like many popular SDRs are receive only or crazy expensive. I've been looking at the RS-HFIQ (https://www.hobbypcb.com/index.php/products/hf-radio/rs-hfiq) but it doesn't seem to be that popular and I can't tell if it's because it's got too much "hacker" in it for the average ham, or if something else is going on. Maybe I should just spend more money?
You cut the cord, terminate the server, kill the connection. They think they can get away with it because they are a big shot, if they don't pay, they don't deserve to get free service.

All you are doing is telling them they can get away with it. Stand up to your brand and do the right thing, even if you feel it's not the right thing (people with lots of money are no different than anyone else, they too need to put pants on like everyone else)
Loads of people have been engaged with the programs Bill Gates has funded, including a great many doctors. Bill Gates doesn't have some unique level of experience dealing with organizations addressing these matters, and a great many people dealing with these organizations seem to have more expertise in the matter than Bill Gates.

> Global health philanthropy has been his primary job for over a decade

Key word there being philanthropy, e.g. he's rich. Instead of listening to the guy with the wallet, we'd be better off listening to the people who actually put Bill Gates' money to use with their actual expertise in matters other than being rich.
I would recommend not “hacking” something like this and publically admitting it on HN. Pretty much made me distrust all of your work if you are going to take shortcuts like this that expose your API key. Adding a “taking the time to fix this now” probably would have been sufficient for me to think differently.
