Another day, another Zoom issue.

I've resolved to not using Zoom - when it was suggested at work I just posted links to the issues (mostly gotten from HN actually) so we decided against it.

> Take a look at his history. The first most obvious thing you will notice is how well the moderation system is working: so many of his postings are deeply downvoted (light gray text), flagged, and dead. But unfortunately he's still succeeding in wasting a whole lot of the moderator's and readers' time.

That means that somewhere between 1 and 5 people don't like what he says. It is so consistent I actually suspect that someone has it out for him; there doesn't seem to be a particular link between what he is saying and the colour of the text.

> Trolling by claiming to agree with people, and saying some things that happen to be right (while throwing much much more bullshit against the wall to see what sticks), and being insincerely and cloyingly polite, is still trolling, and classic sealioning behavior.

Original title: "Zoom Meetings Aren't End-to-End Encrypted, Despite Misleading Marketing"

I'm pretty sure that Google Meet isn't end-to-end encrypted either. Nothing that Google does is.

WhatsApp does claim that videos are end-to-end encrypted as well, although given Facebook announced they'll implement client-side agents for processing user data and given its proprietary nature, I avoid WhatsApp for anything very sensitive as well.

I disagree that there's waste. People do not participate in winner-takes-all contests very often. When you have 10 competing approaches, you still try to have a plan B and a plan C for when you are not finding the best-for-everyone solution. Maybe you cover a smaller chunk of the demand, or find a way to make it cheaper. So while someone is taking up a longer-term, higher-risk project, others are trying shorter term solutions. And everyone wins: you have something done sooner rather than later, and long-term projects face less competition, so their chances of success are more tied to an actual fit than to a luck of outcompeting others.

You got it all wrong. The key point is that by adopting a conversation style where you cease to impose your beliefs as unquestionable facts and start to leave the door open for others to provide their observations and insight, you start to get observations and insights from others.

It's as simple as that.

And by the way, your personal opinion is not precision or an expression of a fact. Your personal opinion is just the conclusion you've made based on the information and experience you had up to that point. If you cease to be defensive about your opinions when sharing them with others, others will follow suit.

I don't know if or when you will see this. But I wish I had made a more extensive comment. Walkaway is so relevant in the current crises, in so many ways.

Today, we grapple with the issues of what work is essential and what work is bullshit, what gifts we should give to others in society, whether surveillance is the answer to stopping the infection. Many of the imaginary technology in the book, such as small maker machines, have been shown to be essential to survival. And so many of the cultural components of the walkaway society have come to the forefront of our own thoughts and cultures.

Most importantly, the death rate is high enough, not from war, but from an invisible entity, that the usual hyperbolic discounting of death has disappeared, even if temporarily.

So thank you for writing such a powerful book, the provides answers to many of today's challenges, even if they are dreams of a better tomorrow.

Annie, the Anxiety chatbot trained using top Reddit posts and comments
DISCLAIMER: this is a purely educational project. This product is not intended to act any form of counsel. It is based off unqualified data and is purely experimental. If you are feeling anxious or depressed, please seek professional help. See https://www.everydayhealth.com/depression/guide/resources/ for a list of resources available.

Meet Annie. Annie is a chatbot for those who suffer from anxiety or depression. The idea behind Annie is to see if I could train a chatbot based off reddit data. I wanted to see if it is possible to create a chatbot that delivers appropriate responses to questions concerning topics of anxiety, depression, stress etc.

I did this by taking the top 1000 posts of all time subreddits such as r/Anxiety, r/depression, r/CasualConversation etc. Using these top posts, I trained Annie using the post title as the question, and the top comment as the appropriate response. This delivered mixed results; Sometimes it works extremely well but sometimes the responses are downright inappropriate - hence the above disclaimer. This is almost always due to the fact that the top comment sometimes pertains to the post's subtext, not the title.

You can find the project on https://github.com/TheRayFitzgerald/Annie/. There is a screenshot there to see how Annie works. Play around with it! You never know, your reddit post or comment may have been used to train Annie.

I don't understand what the contribution of this paper is. The most important thing, a scability test, is missing. You don't need 16 pages to describe a LoRa-based device-to-device messaging application.
>That does increase required processing power and upload bandwidth, but not to the point of infeasibility.

Most devices now do video encoding/decoding in a dedicated hardware unit, so those additional streams will have a vastly disproportionate impact on performance and power consumption. Some desktops and high-performance laptops support multiple streams, but most mobile devices don't. It's feasible, but very much non-trivial.
> What would the options be for covid-19? The author seems to skip this train of thought, but I don't think you can reduce the death rate as much as he claims without at least considering it.

Making the vaccine right. That's what science knows is the only "safe" way to get reliable results once it is applied on vast part of population.

I don't think we can avoid making a real vaccine to be able to immunize population. Maybe the question is only which traditional corners could be cut, what can be parallelized, and what could be the consequences. It can be that some fresh approaches which haven't been tried before should be tried, given the spread and the impact of this pandemics.

You are correct. The diameter should be 6 feet and the radius 3 feet.
Sweden has very unique technocratic way of of running their executive branch. The cabinet and politicians are not in drivers seat in planning this response. Experts in Public Health Agency are, like the Sweden’s chief epidemiologist interviewed. The cabinet mostly just executes the plan and marshals resources.

This is a good test of that system. Other Nordic countries work as good baseline to compare against. We will find out in 3-6 months what works better.

If the people can withstand the lockdown only very limited time, other Nordic countries may have jumped the gun. If Sweden is put into lockdown 2-3 weeks before the epidemic peaks, it will cut out the tip of the epidemic and save more lives.

If the society can stay in lockdown longer than expected, or other methods like lockdown with increased testing etc. works better, Swedes will die in higher ratio.
I am a small time author myself. If someone gives away a pirated copy of one of my books for free, but includes a readme inviting people to buy the book, I do not feel they are 'minimising the impact on me'. In fact I do not feel that makes any difference whatsoever. The best way for them to minimise the impact on me would be to not give away my book in the first place.
My workplace has been very reasonable about this. They were early to move to working from home, and simply accepted that it would hurt productivity. And yet the first remote-working sprint from my team has been incredibly productive. Less distraction from meetings and big lunches together, perhaps. I do miss the direct contact with my team mates, and we can't have the spontaneous brainstorming/whiteboard sessions we used to have, so we do need to figure out how to do those remotely.
>So even though Neandertals had a more advanced brain

I'm aware that it's accepted Neandertals might've been as capable in many areas of survival, however I'm not aware that it's been accepted they had more advanced brains. Got a source?

I remember hearing somewhere, one source I remember [1], that despite their intelligence, they tended to rove in smaller tribes partly perhaps due to less inter-communication skills, which may've led to a disadvantage in warfare.

Or perhaps, my own thoughts, the 'loner genes', for lack of a better term, iterated more throughout the Neaderthal ancestry which led to smaller tribes. Another guess, maybe forested Eurasia, which may act as natural barriers compared to more open African plains caused a selection for smaller groups or gave way to human genetics that naturally selected for smaller groups. Of course, take it all with a grain of salt.

TBH all these features on Gold and Ultimate for free are game changers (specially Gold since you won't need to manage and install so many things that used to be many different systems), GitLab should advertise it more.

That's just a lame attempt to piggy-back on the name recognition of an established concept to try to funnel the spotlight on an entirely different and unrelated concept.

To be fair, over here in the UK, we have MPH for roads, stones and pounds for peoples weight (kilograms are becoming more popular, in particular for the under 25s), feet and inches for peoples height (meters becoming more popular for under 25s). So we have a bit of a hybrid really, I am 36 so get a bit of both, but my parents need everything converted to "old money" as they call it, they can't imagine what 25cm length is, they would need it in feet and inches. It is less stubborn for them, more, "why bother"? They can get by as is and have other things to occupy their time than trying to work out what familiar distances and weights are using a different scaler. Given that roads are still imperial as are lots of other things (mattress sizes, timber sizes, etc) it isn't like if they switched to metric it would even fix anything useful.

I renamed it, then used Outlook 2016 successfully for days (mostly Outlook, Word and some Excel). After a reboot, I did get an error code 0x426-0x0 trying to start office apps, but I'm pretty sure that was just due to disabling the Click-To-Run service a long time ago and (possibly) having gotten new updates pushed to me during the reboot.

I did an SFC /SCANNOW which restored the original atmfd.dll, and I immediately deleted it.

If you bump into any OpenType fonts it might be a different story.

> One of the nice things about IPSec is that it's a standard. There's a reasonable chance that two endpoints written by separate parties will be able to communicate.

Having deployed IPSec between vendors, this is only "sorta" true. IPSec can be an immense fiddle to actually get running between two vendors for the first time.

One of the other issues when using IPSec between vendors (or even just be default) is that the actual overlapping ciphers/hashes that are supported or even just work are normally the lowest possible.

> Are there fundamental advances in the design?

First party roaming makes dealing with mobile and CGNAT much nicer, anyone behind a IPSec VPN on a home CGNAT network will have a bad time (often it won't connect at all)

Finally. It's code base is actually pretty small, allowing sane audits to take place. In my eyes thats a huge win. People who have seen the sheer size of strongswan or openvpn might appreciate wireguard in comparison.

Given my own pain with an RX 5700XT, I'd suggest waiting a few months after big navi release to upgrade.

For Linux, it's been more than a pain, and pretty much have to install with a 5.3 kernel base os to begin with for it to work from the start, saw a lot of just black screens in the nearer term distros. When the 19.10 Ubuntu came out, it mostly just worked, then after an update, blank screens... same with 18.04 and the supported drivers.

On windows, a number of issues, reset, more issues.

Since around 5.4 kernel, and now on 5.6 rc, it's been much better, and the recent driver update for Windows has stabilized. Just the same, would have been better off with NVidia for the past 5 months or so.

I was planning on waiting until January to build, but was having issues with my old system (i7 4790K). So built out with an x570 mb, and 3600, swapped out with 3950X late december. Had a few issues with motherboard drivers as well (intel bt and wireless very bleeding edge).

At this point I'm very happy though. Just took a while to stabilize and wouldn't go bleeding edge AMD again, but would wait 3-6 months for any new chipset or gpu.
