Oh it did become better.

I've been using linux for 15 years. It's better in every way.

Are people just looking for things to be mad at Zoom for at this point? When Zoom says E2E encryption they're using older notion when it was common for services to not use encryption at all for these kinds of things and it was somewhat of a technical accomplishment that every client-server-server-client leg was all encrypted.

Like it's fine to point out that the bar has been raised in the security community and that the term E2E now requires that only the participants be able to decrypt the content and they should change their copy but it ignores the fact that E2E in healthcare means exactly what Zoom is doing. In the HIPPA world providers are trusted entities.

One of the major but rarely talked about causes of failure for startups is simply the entrepreneur getting demotivated. Gamefication could be an excellent way to deal with that.

Developers can distribute .app's inside of .zip files, and many do, but this can result in users just running the .app inside of their downloads folder. And then this causes problems if they ever decide to clean out their Downloads folder.

The DMGs are a clever way to (A) make sure the app gets to the proper location while simultaneously (B) teaching the user about what's actually happening on their computer. As I said in a sibling comment, this all made much more sense when users also launched apps from the Applications folder directly.
I'd recommend starting with the Wikipedia page on Operations Research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_research

You can't actually build EE from source. The license "key" is a block of code and if you've never payed for one, you don't know the format. Dev versions of these licenses are restricted to GitLab employees only, even though the license terms explicitly allow building and testing for development purposes.
You mean pi should have been defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the radius, instead of to the diameter? Probably, yeah :)

Better yet, I think the unit of angle we should use is the 'full rotation' ('rot'?)

So instead of 360 degrees, or 2pi radians, we say 1 rot.

The many factors of 2pi in common equations imply we got this wrong.
Simple, robust ventilator – existing medical tech
Right, so the reasons this needs to be a hook:

- As someone else said, it manages playback state. This is technically managed by a third-party library, but we expose an `isPlaying` boolean which is held in React state

- It lazy-loads Howler, the underlying audio dependency. This means the bundle cost is ~1kb instead of 11kb (gzip)

- It memoizes all the callback functions to avoid breaking React.memo / PureComponent components
Double blind isn't arbitrary. The number of participants sure looks arbitrary though. (Powers of 10 should be treated as presumptively arbitrary.)
That's a much lower bar than most drug trials impose.

Given the severity of the situation, trying anything that might work and isn't obviously worse than the disease makes sense right now. But equally, given the side effects of chloroquines and also the postulated mechanism of action for an antiparasitic against a virus being literally just "zinc stuff? idk lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" right now, I think it's no less reasonable to want to see some more rigorous evaluation before regarding it as the panacea it's been claimed in many quarters to be.
Good question. I’d like to hear people’s thoughts too.
It's interesting to look at the numbers for this. Google says there are 2.86 million registered nurses in the US. Lets add in doctors and other healthcare workers and say there are 10 million workers (probably more). 3M is making 100 million masks a month. That's only enough for each of them to get 10 a month. They probably go through that in half a shift since they have to change per patient.

>The good marketing for zoom is that webex is awful.

100% this. We switched to zoom as stay home orders came out. And only because it worked 100% every time, with little to no fiddling. The non-tech literate employees at my place are patting themselves on the back for being able to set up and host a zoom meeting. Because it's one button.

And that's why they're used so much. They are the literal definition of it just works. People aren't worried about anything else right now.

p: the product

v: the vessel

o: the state, usually implies a location

Operations is largely o, Supply chain is largely the facilitation of p, Logistics is largely the facilitation of v.

Zoom’s HIPAA product documentation does define Zoom’s “end-to-end encryption” as:

https://zoom.us/docs/doc/Zoom-hipaa.pdf

> Meeting data transmitted across the network is protected using a unique Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key generated and securely distributed to all participants at the start of each session.

It does not guarantee that the key is withheld from the server, which is unsurprising given that e.g. the recording and chat history features are implemented server-side.

EDIT: For comparison, the Australian government provides a telehealth platform that clearly states it does not allow the server to inspect the call video/audio:

https://help.vcc.healthdirect.org.au/about-healthdirect-vide...

> Data shared in actual calls between participants is only ever available in decrypted form to the participating endpoints of the call. All other intermediaries that forward the call can only see encrypted data.

For those looking to hold Zoom accountable, the question to ask is: “Does your country’s law permit Zoom’s servers to be considered an ‘endpoint’ capable of decrypting a telehealth call?”.

>You are ignoring the fact that cars have to navigate what is basically a set a of 1 dimensional corridors on a 2 dimensional plane. Airplanes don't have these limitations and can fly point to point at their choice of altitude.

Absolutely true. However cars are mostly autonomous and airplanes flying through urban airspace are not, with rare exception. The bottleneck will be our air traffic control system, which can not in its semi-automated form scale to the volume required and would not qualify for the usual SV "move fast and break things" treatment, since "breaking things" in this context would be in-air near misses and collisions.

> We do know that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine can have significant side effects, especially if combined with azithromycin.

What side effects? Could you expand on this for a layman? And at what doses and are there drug interaction requirements to get these side effects? What percentage of people experience these side effects?

I’m not an expert on this like you appear to be so my experience is anecdotal. Basically that I know multiple people who take this drug for various reasons. And the claim of it being some dangerous drug doesn’t seem consistent with their experience.

Obviously if used improperly that is true, but the same is true for anything, so I’m not sure that that fact rises above the rhetorical noise floor for me.

I've always understood E2E to mean that it's encrypted from one end to the other, without any intermediate decryption stops. This is how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption defines it, and has since it was a stub in 2007 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=End-to-end_encryp...).

Do you have any links for E2E being used in this "older" way?
- the couple who ingested fish tank cleaner were, first and foremost, people.

Measure what you care about.

As a non-technical leader, you can delegate the problem of spaghetti code downhill - you just need to measure how quickly they make updates and define your expectations. If spaghetti code is making it difficult for the team to meet your needs, they need to fix their technical debt.

Likewise on extension and maintenance. If you want them to spend 80% of their time on new features, and 20% on maintenance, you care about whether or not they hit those marks, not the reasons why.

I could share similar sentiments on all your questions - even the cost question on AWS. Set a budget, and figure out a solution that meets it.

All that being said, you need some directly below you in the org chart who does care about everything I just told you to delegate. They need to be accountable for making the tech side of the business align with your business needs. Do not outsource that role. Because your questions are important - but you'll do better as an organization if you let someone else own them, while you focus on your own areas of expertise.

This mentions writing the screen lock UI in QT. jwz, maintainer of xscreensaver, had a rant about why he avoids the use of a big toolkit. The short version is he wants minimal code size because the consequence of a crash is to unlock the screen. The rant was prompted because of a real life gtk+ bug which made another screen locker crash.

I would find a link and include it but jwz is hostile to links with HN as a referrer.

From what I've read in various articles WHO just says masks might not be 100% effective at protecting you and that's it.

Curious to hear other people’s thoughts but don’t think you can look at negative rates in a vacuum, but rather also have a view on inflation as well as asset prices (housing, equities, etc)

E.g. in a world of negative interest rates and 0% inflation just holding physical cash solves most of your problem - however that does not solve your problem in a world of positive inflation and negative rates - then you need to be able to make up the difference on asset price gains...

It's funny that I'm apparently the troll here, your comment just made me consider finally making an account.

If somebody prompts you to do something on the internet do you give it any concern? You must be swimming in free iPhone X's then. He suggested you donate time to an open source project which is about as equivalent to slavery as a cashier at Burger King trying to upsell you a large whopper menu.

You've donated absolutely nothing to the project by commenting here if you didn't provide the feedback directly via the projects public tools.

I actively contribute to many open source projects. Writing a shell script to generate dnsmasq hosts files isn't exactly rocket science. It doesn't matter if you don't use the project, lesser informed people do, by improving it you improve a large amount of people's security. Call it virtual herd immunity, it affects you too indirectly.

On the web it’s mostly putting JavaScript between input and reaction/output, leading to input lag, and devs paying no attention to how much memory all those convenient JS data structures will eat and how slow it is to do stuff to them over and over.

Exponentials and the power of one percent growth a day
I disagree with that post completely.

If you look at the stuff coming out of Imperial and Oxford in recent weeks, there are a huge number of basic problems. Their papers can't be replicated for multiple reasons. They're using known-bad input data. They're not providing uncertainty bounds. There's no peer review. The Imperial paper assumed constant hospital capacity. Their papers reach diametrically opposite conclusions. They have a track record of model failure.

It's all practically a poster child for the replication crisis.

The /r/physics post criticises physicists who write some code to do basic curve fitting. Has he looked at the Oxford epidemiology paper? It is by all accounts literally curve fitting to the first 15 days of outbreak and reaches diametrically opposite conclusions to the Imperial paper.

It criticises people who write papers and then upload them to arXiv because reporters will find it and create panic. Would this person prefer people to use the Imperial/Oxford technique of sending papers directly to journalists, and entirely skipping the whole upload to arXiv step?

It blames physicists for creating "denial": "You become a punchline to a denier that says, they can't decide if there's going to be hundred thousand cases or a hundred million cases! Scientists don't know anything!" - guess what, they're saying that already and are going to say it a lot more because epidemiologists themselves keep contradicting and criticising each other for doing bad work, in public. Additionally, there are enough people with scientific literacy to understand the limits of statistics and modelling out there. They aren't as easily confused as this person rather seems to assume (does he have any data showing that people conflate epidemiology with physics?).

Right now I absolutely want to see papers written by physicists studying COVID-19. Why - because physics is a significantly more rigorous field than epidemiology. I trust the average physicist to have at least slightly higher standards, for instance I trust them to at least pretend to care about statistical uncertainty, and I suspect many of them will upload their source code. I don't expect any of them to email their paper straight to known-friendly newspapers.

"End to end encryption" is the more specific term! The specific term for each segment being encrypted is "link encryption". The general term is plain "encryption".
