These concepts could be applied towards that purpose if the MNOs wanted to rejigger messaging within their networks & for inter-carrier connectivity- but pursuing that solution would likely be more challenging to implement than this solution.

Several businesses near me immediately announced on social media they were permanently closing for business, the moment the lockdown was announced. They must have been struggling prior to the lockdown and knew there would be no way to recover.
This is an interesting document. It describes some of the initial payload capacities expected for Starship. Three things stood out for me;

1) There doesn't seem to be anyway to dump heat. Half the reason had big doors that opened on its back was to allow it to expose radiators to space.

2) There doesn't seem to be solar panels either. Dragon (crew and cargo) deploy a set of panels from the "trunk" to provide shipboard power while in orbit. Where are those on Starship?

3) 100T to LEO in fully usable mode. So you can send a group of 10 - 15 people into orbit for maybe 2 or 3 days just for the price of fuel and human consumables? That is pretty amazing.
I'm a product manager. Deadlines are 100% my responsibility and I would never blame an engineer for missing one.

If someone on my team misses a deadline it means that I wasn't able to predict the level of effort properly. It means I changed the spec too much and caused chaos. It means I didn't communicate with the engineer well enough to chart out their progress and anticipate the delivery date. It means I wasn't keeping a close enough eye. It means I didn't parallelize the task properly.
Rainviewer is working on a similar output as Dark Sky where they are a predicting the radar images forward up to 2 hours.

I don't think this feature is released yet but with this situation and support, they might work on it faster.
The issue is when I have a automated answering system (asterisk, for a museum). It rattles off some prerecorded info, possibly with prompting. To talk to a human, I need to forward the caller (I.e. call and set up a voice bridge since the caller is already connected to me) to one of our volunteers, which will be to their cell phone (we are a railway museum and we don't have a staffed office on weekdays). I want to forward the call with the original caller's phone as the caller ID so that if they miss the call our volunteer can call back easily rather than trying some awful game of tag via calling back the PBX.

There's a big difference between open source tools led by open source communities or individuals and open source tools led by Big Tech. Often the latter may decline features which are against the interests of the company, even if they're in the interests of all of the users.
Leverage does not work the same way for real estate. There is no margin call like there is with stock. Even if you are upside down on the mortgage in many cases you are still cashflow positive and can ride it out. And if you are not, even in recourse states in practice the losses are not amplified and a strategic default, deed in lieu, or short sale are still possible.
Same :( Darksky was excellent in that you could put any coordinates and any date in the past and then it would give you hourly weather data. I also am struggling to find an alternative.

Let me explain the pH thing better, now that I've had a think. Soil has a cation exchange capacity (CEC). Some soils have higher capacity then others. Think if it like a numeric count of all the molecular points where a cation could ionically bond. On each of those points, either you have a hydrogen (which makes it acidic) or another cation (which generally makes it alkaline). Those are calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, but also a few others in minute quantities even lead (Pb+2). Ammonium is a cation too.

When adding something, it adds more CEC attachment points, but also more cations and more hydrogen.

Within just the coffee grounds, many of the CEC points are occupied by hydrogen, so it is acidic. But when you compare the number of CEC points to that in the soil, the amount in your soil overwhelms. The good cations in your soil wont be affected much until you have enormous levels of coffee grounds (like >10% or something, I'd have to calculate it and I haven't).

And of course you can always just measure the pH and add cations which will displace the hydrogen (it will bond with the anion). Calcium is cheapest which is why people use agricultural lime. Dolomite will give you some magnesium which will probably produce healthier veggies. Potassium is important but too much will just bulk up the veggies rather than letting them develop more healthfully. Sodium is almost never useful.

Don't know about Europe, in Brazil spam calls are common but you can register your number in a consumer protection organ to say that you do not want unwanted commercial calls and if you keep receiving them the companies can be fined, for me it works "ok", there still companies that don't give a shit but at least the amount of calls I receive was reduced a lot...

This happened to a local political debate I was attending. Disturbing to say the least. It's not hard to defend against as a power-user host, but the default case might be better locked down. Maybe this preference should prominent in account setup.

LG 4K works perfectly for me.

I've tried every T3 dock available. They all have bugs that render them unusable for me. The one that was the closest to being good -- OWC 12 port I think -- wouldn't tolerate MBP sleep. After wake from overnite sleep (maybe the Mac would go to hibernate -- I didn't investigate further) the dock would need to be reset. I've never had the MPB crash though, but I haven't gone back to trying docks now with Catalina.

There certainly is something particular to your environment causing this crash. Such a bug would be in all the news.

I get this too. Which is great, my being a New Yorker who hasn’t had a driver’s license for close to a decade.
Assuming 2000 employees, $149m is only $75k per employee. That number is reduced depending on how much they spent on "...further invest in hardware and software, double down on safety and efficiency, and build partnerships. The company also wants to invest in AI capabilities and machine vision as well as asset management functionality." Unless they've paired that investment with substantial revenue, they'd run out of runway quickly.
My couple tries, the bread hasn’t risen well, the starter takes up fridge space, flavor’s not great, and the damn thing wastes tons of flour if I’m not using it nearly every day. I’ve put it in the “maybe when I’m retired” pile and will keep making very decent bread with dry active yeast in the meantime.
Ask HN: How would governments respond to Covid-19 under a Bitcoin standard?
This is purely a hypothetical question. If we were living under a Bitcoin standard, how would the governments around the world try to tackle the economic crisis due to COVID-19? Would governments, corporations, and individuals need savings beforehand? Since printing money would not be an option, what other solutions could be used?
What you call a strawman is exactly the kind of discrimination that exists at my current employer and at my previous employer. This is reality. And the discrimination isn't small or subtle. We're talking about aggregate 2-3x times less likely to get a phone interview as a diverse candidate. Is harassment or bullying equal to or greater than the impact of this preference in hiring? There's no right answer to this question, this is a subjective question for which people can and do give different answers. Someone whose diverse in tech might feel like a reduction in harassment or bullying would be worth a significant reduction in career opportunities. Someone who is struggling to get into tech, and doesn't have diversity status to stand out from the rest of the pack could also arrive at the answer that they'd be better off as diverse even if it did mean that they might be subject to additional harassment or bullying.

Calling the latter "frothing", "breath-takingly racist" is an incredibly hostile thing to say, and it makes me question whether people actually want to discuss the impact of discrimination in hiring or want to shut down discussion by making it taboo.

Also interviewing.io actually conducts interviews on a large scale, and is probably one of the best positioned organization to conduct this sort of experiment. Can you elaborate on why their study should not be accepted?
Carrot, by default, uses the Dark Sky API. It's one of the few apps that lets you choose an alternate data source. Wunderground used to be the best choice, but that API vanished last year. With Dark Sky gone, none of the remaining options are particularly good, if you live in the USA.
Through virtue of working with them once, S&N is Smith & Nephew.

To my knowledge they do joint implants, wound care and scoped tools but not ventilators.

In Australia we are having Resmed make ventilators! So that's a bit more on brand than a car company!
Refer to ICAO Annex 11 - it's not the exact point being made by the GP, but note that traffic separation for IFR traffic from VFR traffic is only provided in Class A, B and C airspace.
Actually you just made a pretty convincing case that Homebrew has similar issues. I am already not a fan of it because I have hit too many amateurish bugs, but now I have another reason.

By the way, the word brew is also used for other things, eg. coffee or tea, and homebrew is a common metaphor for other things where amphetamine is unbiguously one thing.

I think using a non-standard port is a good layer of security, among other layers.

My personal suggestion though is to use 1022 because it's below 1024. This means only root is allowed to bind to it. Preventing possible connection jacking attacks if an attacker is able to crash your own server and run theirs to harvest your passwords.

* Not directly related to SPIT (phone SPAM), but one is https://www.wired.com/story/sim-swap-fix-carriers-banks/ .

* Carrier maintainer blacklists and other tools have also been used by providers for a long time.

* My provider, Voip.ms, enforces a provenance whitelist by default. This block all SPIT calls coming from unspoofed caller ids. That may not sound like a lot, but yes, many of those calls are just random poeple picking their phone or mobile apps using the real phone number. Having regulation to track internal sources of SPIT (and enforcing it) helps too.

* In Canada, you can subscribe to a non-telemarketing list. That doesn't help for scammer, but it helps for unsolicited ads, political spam and private surveys. This works when enforced with actual penalties for all parties involved.

I worked on a video chat startup in 2006 and a concept that still stands out is "floor exchange," which is when one person stops talking and another person starts talking during a conversation.

Floor Exchange usually happens seamlessly in most in-person conversations, but it can be a challenge over video chat, even in 2020.

In any video chat it's helpful to keep your points short and pause for longer than you normally would at the end of each one; if you're doing it right, the pauses will feel uncomfortably long, especially at first. This allows extra time for floor exchange.

I'm excited to see how this remote batch goes!
Prior to the quarantine, I was getting 5-10 per day.

The USA's implementation of caller ID does not require telephone providers to verify that the caller ID provided to them is real (prior to this order).

It also lacks the regulatory structure to "trace" (prosecute/fine) calls through the various interlocking copper, cellular, and internet telephony networks, even when each provider in the chain has data.

It also lacks the legal experience in knowing how (and the political will) to prosecute an individual who dials random phone numbers with an app on a cell phone using a prepaid SIM card and conferences whoever they're calling into a spam line to disguise the spam line's phone number.

Finally, our regulatory system is captive to politicians who depend critically on spam calls for political purposes, and continue to fight to have those calls exempt, making it vastly more difficult to stop all robocalls because some are legal and others aren't.

And you do realize that you're equating diverse hiring efforts with getting called racial slurs on the job, yes? Those are two very different definitions of "actual" racism. And rather supports the breathtakingly racist claim above.

> Can you elaborate on why their study should not be accepted?

Forgive me, I didn't realize they were the leading authority on the nuanced sociological facets of unconscious prejudice during hiring. And here I thought a publication by psychology researchers or African American Studies professors would be the subject matter experts to seek out, not a blog post.

Either that... or it's a way to get high profile attention to blatant security issues in a commonly used business meeting tool where sometimes sensitive information is shared.
In Sweden telephone operators can be forbidden from let spam categorized numbers reach you.

That and you know.. breaking the law has actual consequences for both spammers and telcos.

Exactly. I have never experienced problems caused by outdated stuff with code less than a year since the last update.

I haven't heard that term before - but excellent advice!
Granted. I mean, strictly speaking, we can't prove that the gravitational constant won't change tomorrow. :) But I would like a substantial enough body of evidence from competent and disinterested assessment(s) so that our societies can take the right long-terms risks on new materials (where "new" = less than 100 years). Obviously easier said than done; I like the idea of putting it in the same category as medical treatments (though let's be frank, even that process is hardly flawless).

I feel like, if you wanted to pick the film-photography version of Instagram, a better choice would be Polaroid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_Corporation

Kodachrome was always preferred by serious photographers (at least until the Japanese film companies started muscling their way into the US in the mid-'80s), but Polaroid was the peoples' choice -- cheap, social and fun. People would crowd around a Polaroid exposure taken at a party, watching the image develop and commenting to each other on it. Nobody ever confused it for high quality film, but for the purposes it was put to, that didn't matter.
are you asking if this will impact Google Voice? If so, I would imagine the answer is almost certainly that it will not at all impact Google Voice.

Google Voice works by acting as a proxy for outbound calls. You dial your friend's number, your phone dials Google, who in turn dials your friend with your Google Voice number displayed. Since Google is the legitimate carrier for your Google Voice number, I can think of no reason why they wouldn't be able to correctly sign the call.

Additionally, Google is listed as one of the companies that the 14 companies that the FCC appears to be working with (see the table towards the bottom of https://www.fcc.gov/call-authentication), so I assume they are planning to use it for Fi and hopefully Voice as well.
