Something that isn't mentioned in the docs is room (and server) capacity, or at least rough estimates.

The Jitsi team gave some specific numbers on room capacity in the forums. Each room should reliably handle 20-35 Chrome users (Firefox uses roughly double the resources), and has a cap at 75. Apparently if you're only using audio, then rooms of 70+ people will work fine.

They're working on upping this number to 500 for configurations that have multiple bridges, as well as improving the UI to account for larger meetings.
Wow. Fixed.
Love the 2 articles (at least one thoroughly discussed on HN), hate that you manage to bundle so many fallacies together (a strawman here, a loaded question there, etc.). You're either refuting an argument I never made, or showing "evidence" that doesn't support the claim, or asking a question where every answer will make it look like I agree with your point. OP said that:

> it's possible to make faster processor than 30GHz. Even 1THz is possible with modern tech [...] millions of super fast single-atom processors

This is the statement I contradicted and this is the statement you may want to refer to. First time you defended it with a "yes but" yet after 2 attempts you still haven't provided actual examples of either. We already agreed that even things like the brain can be pretty powerful and yet completely different from how we do artificial processing these days. But that was not the point.

We've had such concepts already working for years with sieve analysis [0] where stacks of sieves can give you the size and sometimes even shape of objects just by placing them in. Or analog computing that solves the travelling salesman problem faster than any digital computer can today [1]. But we obviously can't build anything useful with it that can surpass what we already use now.

Today we cannot build any useful or feasible 30GHz (let alone 1THz) or single-atom CPUs. We have stuff that's "promising", "indicates the possibility", and "on paper". As I said, we may even have the tech to do it but haven't connected all the dots yet which still means we can't do it today. At least not without moving the goalposts so much that the discussion stop making sense.

> 5% of people that get it (among a wide range of ages) require serious medical care for weeks

Just based on the experience in other countries, GP seems quite spot on in terms of who is impacted, who dies, and the percentage of the population. Your comment seems speculative and substantial number of non-70+ year olds dying has not been borne out by the data at all.
They like the quality of their healthcare - the "seeing a doctor and getting healthy" aspect. If the question was "do you like working with your health insurance" the answers would be different.

I've never met a single person who feels their health insurance is good or useful. R=close to zero if the hypothesis is the super majority like theirs.
This is what was said:

> For the past several weeks, supporting this influx of users has been a tremendous undertaking and our sole focus. We have strived to provide you with uninterrupted service and the same user-friendly experience that has made Zoom the video-conferencing platform of choice for enterprises around the world, while also ensuring platform safety, privacy, and security. However, we recognize that we have fallen short of the community’s – and our own – privacy and security expectations.

Now, putting this into context as a software development team. Let's say your security/privacy team says "we really need to patch this CVE we found" and your infrastructure team says "we really need to re-architect this one area so we can handle more users". Given that Zoom has likely just doubled its user base (which means more revenue), where do you think management is going to spend its time?

This is coupled with the fact that a company with a ridiculous influx of users is going to be a higher value target. Security/privacy isn't going to move the needle in terms of revenue, but infrastructure is. It's a matter of contention of focus.

In theory yes, but in practice even with frameworks codebases can turn into messes, and/or tends to become solid but completely frozen on a particular feature set. Small changes suddenly becomes daunting because the initial architecture needs to be changed to accommodate and surprise all is tightly coupled under the cover. With vanilla JS and spaghetti it's painful and boring but at least if I need to change a behavior on a page usually I'm done with a few lines of code. Edit: it's a tradeoff, but in early stages I found being able to make one the fly changes in a few minutes/hours to accommodate a customer instead of weeks (or never if it's too painful to evolve the perfect architecture) very valuable.

It really depends on the use case, and sure frameworks are awesome in the right context, but I think the current "best practice" of defaulting to one in any project no matter the business trajectory, product market fit maturity and team size is misguided.

In this situation, helping some might be working a miracle. If a treatment - and I have no idea if this is the one - can prevent 20% of patients from requiring a ventilator, that's the equivalent of having 20% more ventilators.

Until public equity markets start valuing security nothing will change. How do we make that happen? Make their customers care. Bad security -> less customers -> less value. How do we do that? Wish I knew, probably regulation, but I wouldn’t know how to even think about writing it.
They also aren’t counting the huge number of mild or asymptomatic infections, which is orders of magnitude larger.

There’s error in the numerator of the equation, but it’s swamped by the error in the denominator.
The Second Amendment was probably a bad idea when it was written. Its proponents made a bunch of assumptions that look laughable in hindsight. Today in the hands of a Supreme Court increasingly disconnected from reality it's interpreted as an excuse to let people who clearly shouldn't have guns at all have as many guns as they can buy.

"First they came..." is about people not about ice cream flavors, or video games or constitutional amendments. Changing laws is a normal function of society. It is an anomaly (and a grave defect) that the US has become unable to even think of changing these particular laws, to the point where many of its people enshrine them as holy principles rather than recognising they are just laws of men.

It has been forever since America had judges brave enough to argue that something can't be lawful because it is evil, and so the EFF is obliged to frame things as "unconstitutional" instead. In a way that's America's legacy, the observation that slavery was evil pre-dates its founding as a country built on slavery, so it has always been necessary to its function to pretend that it's somehow important to allow evil if it's legal. In such an environment any potential judge with strong moral character could only be discouraged.
"phone", as you are asserting, is a colloquialism for "telephone".

Radios don't have a "phone" mode of operation because they mimic telephones. "Phone" does, and always has meant "audio". We don't call radios "phones" for the same reason we don't call them "audio". Likewise, phonographs aren't named after telephones, either.
Well... that’s about software and less about spectrum and the regulation of it.

The problem is the box in the aisle of BestBuy that say “FAST 2.5 Gig WiFi” sells better than “Dynamic Signaling” so the incentive to just make really crappy radios that have more throughout outweighs the incentive to actually make decent and smart software defined radios.

That’s why I think the FCC needs to just set some band rules. They do this already in the commercial WISP space.
Spain and Italy have fatality rates of 10% because the infection exploded far before they could ramp up testing capacity, so they were only testing the people who were in serious medical distress.

This is obvious if you compare the numbers between different countries versus their relative level of hospital capacity.
It's quite remarkable to see the media more focused on how they are supposed to oppose Trump rather than just reporting the news.
I see nothing that pays the hospital bills for those infected.

I do see $100B paid to hospitals.
> Face it, HCQ is an old and cheap drug that doesn't fit Big Pharma profit visions.

That seems like a non sequitur... Do you think HCQ knows that, and is therefore making itself less effective, just to stick it to Trump?

The reality is, HCQ is not without adverse side-effects, and we have reason to be cautious. There have been several examples in the past where early results of HCQ testing looked promising against various viruses, but didn't pan out when actually used at larger scale in humans.
That is not at all a fair assessment of what happened. I won't blame specific groups (there is plenty of fault to go around), but it wasn't the administration that made things partisan there.
I think Trump was just casting about for anything he might hitch his wagon to and claim credit for later. It's unfortunate that "the other side" heaped so much scorn on chloroquine just because Trump was touting it, because there was never any conclusive evidence that it doesn't work, and if it actually does work then they played right into Trump's usual "hoax" angle.

I live in the Bay Area and childcare has been shut down for a few weeks out here as well.

It’s taxing but also pretty cool to be able to work and spend time with your kid. I just wish she could interact with people when she sees them outside, she used to pick random strangers and ask for a hug (she’s 1). She’s adapting, but you can tell she’s trying to understand why she can’t run up and play with little kids she sees outside.

It’s also hard to know she sees you ignoring her from time to time. I hope this doesn’t negatively impact her long term development.
Do you have any reason to think we're not going to see the situation in NYC play out in numerous other US cities over the coming weeks and months?
Best known method: "bkm acronym" came up with it as first result.
How did they turn it into a partisan issue? Trump announced in a press conference that hydroxychoroquine held promise as a potential therapy based on anecdotal evidence being shared by physicians in Asia and Europe. Everyone, Democrats, the media, and individuals jumped on him as promoting snake oil and having no basis for his claims. It was barely news when he announced it. Some of the same evidence he was referencing in his claims had been circulating in preprints and on subs like r/COVID19 for weeks at that point.

I strongly dislike the administration generally, but I've been perplexed as to how eager everyone has been to attack him over this particular incident. And if it was made partisan, it seems like it was done so by others, and not the administration itself.
Okay, good. I know it's popular to hate on JS, but I think it catches a lot of undue flack. I know it's not perfect, but I also know enough to have at least learned the reasons for most of its shortcomings.

'Hacking' doesn't even begin to cover it.

How about we don't `break` like we should (!) and instead have fallthrough¹ cases that execute several cases— or more —on purpose²?

Oh, switches. Always the horror. In networking they somehow replaced bridges, but it's the same thing (that was never confusing to anyone, obviously). In (my) programming, a switch so often turns out to be a nice dressing hiding some horror pattern. And that Nintendo thing... nice games but 720p 30fps? Really??

When I re-read / refactor, I've got this nagging phrase in my mind, whenever I see one: “Kill the switch! Death to switches!”

To conclude this perfectly balanced and nuanced opinion (!): some switches find their place; but most don't, and never should.

It starts phasing out at $75,000 AGI. Decreases 5% for every dollar over. For example, if you make $84,000 AGI, you would get $1200-.05*(84000-75000) = $750.

It decreases to $0 at $99,000.

Edit: double everything for a married couple - potential for $2400 that begins phasing out at $150,000 and drops to $0 at $198,000.
Are their internships open to ... non traditional students?

Folks changing careers and such?

I changed careers a few years ago and I would have been happy to get my feet wet in a new career with an internship or etc. But most are highly centered around the existing 4 year university system, so if you're not in that system that opportunity is closed.

A few were open to folks with other experience, but most were still traditional student focused.

I feel like with the way technology, jobs, and everything changes so quickly that internships too maybe should be more open to different paths.

Scooter Company Bird Laid Off 406 People in Two Minutes via a Zoom Webinar
I do remember a few years ago reading (I think it was in freakonomics) that this isn't actually a guarantee. Some places that have postal voting as the primary form of voting have actually seen a decrease in participation. After an initial boost based on novelty, it now being easier to do also makes it easier to put off. Having a week or two to fill in and then post the form allows for a lot of "I'll do it tomorrow" until you can't, you missed the cutoff. If it can increase turnout great, but making something easier doesn't inherently mean an uptake in participation.

As an extra method on top of existing options it would probably help, but then you lose a lot of the other suggested benefits around faster counting and etc. which require it to be the only form of voting.
Please see additional information which I included in description.

A cruise ship skews older and most people from Diamond Princess should be out of it by now.
Tokyo, 1992 [HD video]
But how quickly will those "unemployed" be back in the work force again once this all lifts? We're used to the unemployment rate signaling a lot about how many "jobs" there are at all, in a steady-state "normal" economy. But with this shock, that's no longer what it means. We've never seen anything like this with a modern economy. What does it mean?

The only real answer is, nobody knows. By the time anyone could collect enough data to even have a real guess, we'll already be running the natural experiment directly to see how many people get back to work.

One thing I will predict with confidence though is that the result will not be exactly the same as if the "normal economy" had produced a 30% unemployment number. Straight-line projections of that nature are useless.
Guesses:

1) This will be a function of how long the average person has to be out of work.

2) Honestly they seem like different beasts. An economic slowdown like this is more easily understood (imho) than the last one. This graph gives me great pause:
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/worlds-money-markets-one-vi...

Look at the size of the derivatives!

3. I think this will be a function of how long we're inside. I don't think it will be good, but I'm an optimist and I think the world economy will roar back into life once we're through it. I'm already craving a few things, like going to a restaurant.
