> I think it is extremely hard to build reponsive UIs that work on every platform and there are no UX problems

It is hard on native platforms as well. Developing for mobile is not that far off from web today, everything converging towards flexbox or constraint solving, reducers etc.

I think you’re conflating the problem of a bloated JS stack with the platform itself. We were building perfectly fine interactive UI without any of this crap ten years ago, and can still do it.
a few problems:

>Clients negotiate end-to-end encryption session key between themselves the same way as a chat app would.

how are you doing this exactly? a 50 way diffie-hellman that renegotiates every time a user leaves or joins? How do you plan on doing that without any substantial lag?

>2. Each client sends the server two (or more) encrypted video streams, varying in bandwidth and keyframes per second

you have managed to double your egress for almost no value.
It is not a myth but a known model approximation. The effect of ignoring external forces (friction etc) is much larger than this model approximation.
I am not sure on how Bitbucket compares because I haven't tried GitLab in a while, but we use Bitbucket at work.

Bitbucket works well and the Pipelines functionality is a life saver for us. I wish I started my projects differently though. After bringing on my first employee it takes a lot of reorganizing of the projects to get them access to it. That's not an issue with Bitbucket though... just a cautionary tale.
Not that I'm in favor of this practice, but the one key feature that conference software must have is: it just works™.

Nothing turns you off more from a conferencing solution than: any problem getting it working right now.

When there is just the slightest issue, one person not being able to join, one person not getting voice to work, bad audio, your entire team is blocked/distracted. Which results in a collective distain for the solution and video conferencing as a whole.

This extends to getting the solution working for greenfield installs as simple as possible. Because who knows which non-tech users from which department all need to join and can't figure out how to set the permission in their browser right or install/use the other browser that is compatible.

So sadly, from a functionality point of view, you want have the software be able to force itself onto the user in the most usable state it can.
Anybody knows the main differences with https://cloudevents.io/?
All of physics is simplifications. Calling one model a myth while relying on other simplifications (no friction, Newtonian physics) seems like clickbait to me.
Enterprise customer DO give a damn about security. They can be slow to react, but rules are also there for a very long time. If Zoom doesn't want to loose most of their marketshare in favor of WebEx, they should probably address these issues.
WASM doesn't help at all here as it wants to be a new instruction set architecture (without even DOM access and GC) when what's needed is a portable and compact UI API.

Wow seeing 2 other people post the same thing as me at the same time made me realize just how pedantic we all are.
But think about it. What does bankrupcy actually mean if all of the bankrupt person's assets are in crypto and only they know the private key? The bank/creditors cannot recover these assets.

So by that definition, is the person actually bankrupt if they still control all of these crypto assets?

One could argue that crypto makes reckless individuals bankruptcy-proof.
Well, that's the tariff level that corresponds to a ban on imports, basically.

You still get deadweight losses from lower tariff levels.
Of course. "Germany" was splintered into many, many small fiefdoms and bishoprics, all with their own coins, weights and lengths.

But it's not really different from the nautical mile, International mile, English mile, Welsh mile, Scots mile, Irish mile, or any other of the handful of "miles" that existed.
If one assumes there is nothing really nefarious going on, it seems they are trying to gain market share: Growth marketing to raise the company value. And looking at some people already using "zoom" and "zooming" as synonym for video conferencing, it kind of works.

> In many parts of the world, $200 is a salary.

I'm not sure how to understand this. In American practice, salaries are quoted annually. You pretty much have to look at sub-Saharan Africa to find annual earnings that low. In Chinese practice, they're quoted monthly. That covers a lot more of the world.

Mostly this comment is a note that "is a salary" isn't really a meaningful predicate. It means wildly different things in different places.
Hm, I see how I should reword that a bit - what I mean is that there are additional instructions about specifically how to go into meetup and export your list (from meetup) next to the button where you can import it into MeetingPlace. There's nothing special or secret about those instructions - but I can see how it looks like there's something hidden... not my intention!

The main reason it's not directly in the FAQ is because it's about a page of pretty specific details - not great for being directly in a FAQ. I could see putting a link to it from there though.

For export from MeetingPlace: as an organizer, you have the ability to export your member list. Each member has an individual setting to let you see their email address or not. So if all the members let you see their email addresses, then you'll be able to export them all.

That's the most fair way I could think to do it: allow the members to decide if the organizer can see their email or not.

So, for one kind of "loner", the psychopaths with their psychopathy, as they relate to general human society and culture:

- do psychopaths prey on and drag down society in most circumstances until there's an "evolutionary bottleneck" and they're the only ones with the will-to-power and ability to bring a "remnant" portion of humanity through dire circumstances that would otherwise lead that portion perishing? ... are they the failsafe?

- is psychopathy an emergent always-negative phenomenon that arises randomly once in a while as a result of random couplings among a pool of people on whom not-quite-psychopathic-behavior-derived-from-genetic-traits confers survival benefits and perhaps overall good to society?

- or are psychopaths on overall good for society? do they always confer benefit even though we perceive them negatively?

- other alternatives?

[edit: punctuation]
This is well put together. The PDF has a single page ordered by bloom time within the season. For each plant, it lists the water requirements and rough height: this quickly lets me know whether a plant will fit in a particular location in my yard. Otherwise I go looking for plants, find what seems to be nice then after digging up the details find out it doesn't match the location.

These PDFs are sorted by US region but for those outside the US, this may still be useful if your local climate happens to be close to one of the 10 listed here.

> How can people possibly defend any system

People vote for politicians who allocate funds to the healthcare systems (generally). Either people don't expect the disaster to strike, or they are more interested in the lower taxes you can have if you don't prepare for peak demand. I suspect it's a consequence of both.

Any politician who says "When I'm in power, I'll raise taxes 10% to fund preparedness for a disaster that comes every 100 years", will not see office. Short sightedness isn't the same as evil. Humans are bad at imagining worse case scenarios and good at optimizing for short term goals. This is the same in industry. Companies now suffer because they optimized for efficiency not resiliency. Where are the companies that optimized for resiliency so they now continue production becuase they had larger stocks of parts, parts sourced from multiple locations etc? The answer: They are dead because they were out competed by companies who could undercut their prices because they order all their parts from China and keep only 1 day worth of production in their parts warehouse.

This seems more like overfitting a complex system to a specific problem set.
Interesting. The only issue I've encountered regarding screen locking was that in the past the desktop would be visible for a split second after opening the laptop lid and before the screenlock is displayed. Haven't seen that behaviour in couple years, I think. I use latest Ubuntu at home and latest Ubuntu LTS at work. Typically Lenovo and HP laptops, some Asus Zenbooks also in the past.
I'm still curious why everyone thinks Zoom "just works" while others don't. Because in an enterprise context it is often hard to download an executable and run it with sufficient permissions. While Google and Microsoft both offer a product that "just works" with only a browser. What makes Zoom more "just works" than that?

The only way their dimwitted hot take would be remotely credible is if they were aware of the exact activities of the scientists at the lab in Wuhan and knew exactly which cutting edge technologies they had access to. The only people who would know this are high level intelligence agents who would not be revealing their classified knowledge on a nature.com blog post. It’s not like it’s impossible to selectively breed a stronger virus through conventional methods when you have a lot of prisoners with no human rights to use as bodies to throw at the problem.

This lab was specifically focused on handling coronaviruses. Again, the only one in China. It’s 300 meters from the seafood market.

The 300 meter radius circle surrounding the lab is 0.33 square miles. China is 3705000 square miles. The chances of this happening so close to the lab is therefore 1 in 11.2 million, roughly the odds of winning a lottery jackpot.

You get most of the consultation with history, described symptoms, etc. handled over telehealth and a quick follow-up in person if you require a physical examination. The process has to cover people who call from a landline as well.
This has been looked at already by amateur researchers online (at places like /r/COVID19 and elsewhere). The problem with variolation is that you need to culture large amounts of the virus to make it scale, and once you're doing that you're basically 90%+ of the way to a vaccine already. Inactivating viruses, using viral material etc. (the extra step in vaccination, compared w/ variolation) is not hard.
SpaceX releases a Payload User’s Guide for its Starship rocket
If I had to guess, it’s an attempt to optimize install conversions. Every multi-step process you ask a user to perform is effectively a (marketing/sales) funnel. Some percentage of people drop off at every step. Maybe Zoom they thought that if they moved the actual installation closer to Step 1, then more people would accomplish it. It’s awfully sneaky though, especially that password dialog.
I think you may be right. What we would get after with cryptocurrencies might be some kind of unregulated anarcho-capitalism.

According to Marx, the absence of regulations should clear the path for capitalism's self-destruction. So I don't know if this would mark the end of Marxism or be a catalyst for its revival. But it probably won't be a smooth transition.

But who knows, maybe anarcho-capitalism will work if the communities are small enough.
Anyone can confirm this?
Right, so I suppose that the numerous gateways zoom and others need to offer are an additional problem which implies that these services have to do "something fishy" on the signaling server. Generally, WebRTC traffic does not need to go through a centralized sever, though. It's peer-to-peer after signaling if possible, and if not it can use routing servers that merely route encrypted traffic. So I am wondering if these providers largely make use of standard WebRTC infrastructure plus gateways and how much proprietary magic they have on top/as an alternative. Of course, in no scenario the traffic is really secure.
This reminds me of the anime Psycho Pass. I would recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by this kind of tech and likes to watch dystopia.
Basically, it rhymes with "cock" , except the 'k' sounds at the start and end are choking sounds from your throat, like that in loch.

Depending on your English dialect, people tend to take the gh either from though making it "van go", or the gh from cough, making it "van gof".

Now, for extra points, try the local liquor chain "Gall & Gall" :)

(Not a native Dutch speaker, just lived here for a few years now and spent quite some time trying to get my head and throat around the g sound.)
Dat is more about distribution (décentralized, distributed, P2P) but it's not possible to make queries.
"I believe that most companies charging only for support are tempted to make the product harder to use to increase the need for support."

I agree with this. Many advocates of open source software continue to push the paid support option as a viable route for open source developers. But often the suggestion is made without thinking through the implications of such a proposal. And the idea of deliberately making a product complex or poorly documented in order to encourage paid support is inherently unattractive to any customer.

For solo developers or small developer teams, I can't think of anything less appealing that having to focus on paid support as the benchmark for financial success for their business.

A paid 'source available' option is one way to charge for the actual product and give your customers access to your source code (which can include provisions to modify the source code). This model may not be popular with open source advocates, but it provides a way for the developers to keep their focus on the product and on making it as easy as possible to use.

In fact this model isn't new. There is a long history of developer tools sold, not as open source, but with the source code available for modification and incorporation in to other products.

> Then they will find themselves with a pile of debt and no way to pay it off, just as many have before when 'investing' in hokey schemes and outright scams.

Oh, you mean like the rest of the entire banking and financial markets that led to all of the bailouts in the first place? And enriched and further consolidated the power of the 'too big to fail' institutions that continue to be rewarded for their corruption.

I'm not going to engage with the same tired arguments we had last time, and I don't doubt the scenario above happening either now that the Federal Reserve essentially got Carte Blanche to buy up so many loans should they go bad from the Banks, but given the current situation you have to at least see the BLATANT irony in your statement.

The SEC shuts down the mainly algo-trained, bot-trading driven stock market because they're taking on too many loses and you're decrying Crypto as the hotbed of malfeasance and manipulation?

If you can't see regulatory capture when it stares at you in the face this way, maybe you should really be looking at another more pertinent axe to grind.

- Your plan so far has worked well (Y)
Well, I have a feeling that the praise for zoom going around is not from people working in enterprises, it's people working for everything-but enterprises, who just want a solution that works.

In my experience (also not enterprise), Zoom is the simplest solution with the best quality and latency, compared to the alternatives. The UX could be better, but the performance of Zoom for all platforms makes you survive the UX.

_Personally_ the only time I care about mpg is when looking at how far I can travel on a tank of fuel. Or, when the fuel warning light comes on (you have 5L of fuel left, how far is that going to get you).

In essence I'd argue that most of the use of the any fuel efficiency metric is to simply rank cars, rather than to ever back out a genuinely useful cost/distance number. At which point furlongs per quart would be as effective as anything else...
How do you E2E encrypt a video stream and still allow adaptive bit rates?

If the server can't read (decrypt) the video, it cannot re-encode the video at different bitrates for different clients.

Or the Zoom client has to encode multiple steams and upload them locally...or it just downgrades to the bitrate of the slowest client...

You get shitty video and E2E encryption or good video and transport encryption.

An example use case that "git for data" seems to break: storing data for medical research where the participants are allowed to withdraw from the study after the fact. Then their data must be deleted retroactively, not just in the head node. I don't know of a good methodology for dealing with this at all as it breaks backups, for example.

The problem extends beyond medical research due to privacy laws like the GDPR. A participant or user must be able to delete their data not merely hide it so as to protect themselves from data breaches. Suggestions welcome.
