Recent graduate of Columbia University with several years of past work experience as a full-stack engineer. I am passionate about Functional Programming, Distributed Systems, Compiler Design, and Natural Language Processing. My entrepreneurship experience allows me to understand multiple different aspects of the end-to-end product development process at startups, and gives me the ability to take initiative on a project, turning vaguely defined requirements into scalable and reliable solutions. I also speak 3 languages fluently (English, Sinhala, and Mandarin Chinese).
Yes, it really matters.
Have you noticed the number of people claiming that Zoom is the subject of an organised campaign? I'm not saying it's an organised whitewashing counter-campaign, but that's what one looks like ...

... and so on
What about "sentient billboard"?
Microsoft already owns the most successful no-code/low code platform in history: Excel

Millions of people with no coding experience are able to successfully use Excel to solve their problems, from personal budgets all the way to large stock trades.

The other successful no-code/low code software Microsoft has made was Visual Basic. In my opinion, there is no current solution to making applications that is as easy as Visual Basic 6.0. You could literally drag and drop a CRUD application connected to a database with no code.

Whoever can make the equivalent of Excel and Visual Basic for the cloud/web will dominate the market.

Yep. The killer for the AD9364 is the 5th harmonic of the 2m amateur band falling on this nation-wide (USA) LTE signal. That damn LTE seems to be everywhere, and it’s strong.
This is no longer cutting edge. This is B-2 tech coupled with electrical motors on a platform that is slow and only survivable in a low-tech environment.

Turkey is attacking Syrian assets with similar, albeit less stealthy drones as of a month ago.

This is an incremental improvement and not at all "secret".
Seems super wasteful packaging though?

And I don't know about you but the first thing I do when I get a paper manual is go online to try to find a PDF version. Seems more like a downside than a value-add?
Have you heard of Cosmism? It was a Russian art-cultural movement in the early 20th century with similar ideas.

I suspect these Zoom posts are primarily aimed at damaging the brand, rather than highlighting product flaws.
To a certain degree. Of course folks have their kids taken away all the time, for egregious neglect.
The Opium of the Intellectuals
>The difficult situation is that this means a lowering of the standard of care given, which I believe many doctors may not support, although desperate patients most certainly will.

Aren't we really already lowering the standard of care given in the case of being overly reliant on chronically overwhelmed physicians?

And I don't think there would actually be any appreciable drop in standards of care, as the entire process would revolve around basically focusing the lightly trained on a hyper-specific subset of statistically relevant medical issues with the assumption of "escalate if something we didn't train you on happens."

You're still getting care from fully licensed professionals. Eventually. They just have more hands to be where they can't.

>Due to the protective nature of the multiple boards/colleges of physicians, it may be better to create an independent organization for certification. However, would we be willing to subsequently dismantle these organizations?

Good question.
I'd air on the side of not dismantling the program if for no other reason than it seems to me we're already having trouble getting medical practitioners out of schools and into the field doing good with our current system. (Limited rotation slots for entrants per year, the securitization of the debts of hopefuls being made worse by getting unlucky with being delayed multiple-cycles from entry into the industry). The primary concern I have is that I think that the college/board systems may be too fragile to the point they represent more of an economic gatekeeper (by artificially constraining supply) rather than a balloon holding up the standard of care. Then again, I have no numbers whatsoever with regards to how many "bad practitioners" are weeded out of the system by virtue of licensing authorities with which to back that up; merely a vague personal hunch probably fuelled by a dislike for needlessly rigorous licensure systems. Plus I have no idea the social/career advancement issues such an organization would create. Would long enough service in this context translate to full licensure after a time? How long should that take? Does it make sense to maybe integrate the two disparate systems as one at some point and maybe formulate a way where highly restrictive entry-level licensure has a proof of experience based and continuing education process by which further advancement toward unsupervised, independent practice is slowly developed toward? What would that look like? Is it feasible? Is it worse than we have now?

I don't know. I do know that in our current predicament though, we may be literally killing off our societal immune system through overwork; and the only way to overcome that, is through more hands.
Is today a day that ends in Y?
Last time I changed my username and password for my AmEx login, their rules were very restrictive with the username (I couldn't use numbers at the beginning of it) and password (I could't use characters like commas or periods)...
The main issue I have with Streamlabs is that they _heavily_ push their "Prime" SaaS model.

I started to get myself set up on Streamlabs for the first time the other day, and accidentally deleted my free Theme/ Scenes that I set up during install. So I went to their Store to re-find it (https://streamlabs.com/library#/), and it's almost impossible to filter through to find the non-prime things -- none of their filters / sorts allow filtering by price or Prime.

I stumbled upon that I could type "free" in the search bar to finally do it, but it was quite painful, and without that I was having to filter out the first 20-30 pages to get past all the "Prime" addons.
The real problem there is using an algorithm that gets slower on longer passwords.

There's no need to have a cap bigger than a kilobyte though.

With the veritable flurry of state machine posts today[0,1] I thought I'd (re)submit[2] one of my favorite posts on finite state machines in Forth.

The specific example is of number input routine allows signed decimal numbers without power-of-10 exponents (fixed-point, in FORTRAN parlance) and comes from the author's book Scientific Forth, where a fuller example is used ... to determine whether a piece of text is a proper identifier (that is, the name of a variable, subroutine or function) according to the rules of FORTRAN.

I originally heard of Scientific Forth from Programming in the Twenty First Century where it made a list of "Five Memorable Books about Programming"[3] with the following description:

Dr. Noble demonstrates how he uses Forth for hardcore matrix work and, when he realizes that RPN notation isn't ideal in all circumstances, develops a translator from infix expressions to Forth.

Sure, more time/data is needed to know for sure. If you factor in 1 week until symptoms, another 1-2 weeks until the worst part of the illness, then yes, the effect of lock down on death rates won't be seen until 2-3 weeks have passed.

Oh absolutely. I'm not trying to downplay the serious nature of the vulnerability, particularly because it also lead to the possibility of remote code execution. Just want to keep the record straight that at no point did this vulnerability allow people to actively spy on your legitimate meetings.

I'm a grizzled web/backend developer with experience as manager and architect. I picked the wrong time to quit and go travel. While looking for my next full time position, I'm also available for contract work to contribute, architect or manage in software delivery projects.
Whoa, that's awesome! I tried to get the same thing working with ffmpeg, a la:

ffmpeg -device /dev/dri/card1 -f kmsgrab -i -
-vf 'crop=4096:2160:0:0,hwmap=derive_device=vaapi,scale_vaapi=w=4096:h=2160:format=nv12'
-c:v h264_vaapi -qp 24 output.mp4

... and that process was, um, exciting, but not in a good way if you care about having an MP4 at the end with minimal fuss.
Ah, brings back memories. I still have my card collection somewhere... think it's at my parents' house.

I had a lot of fun playing Nightmare Troubadour (a DS Yugioh game). It was early enough to not be completely nerfed by the advanced format, so there were lots of really fun decks you could build. My favorite was a one-turn-kill deck that involved sending a bunch of cards from your deck to the graveyard and then playing Reversal of Graves. Usually it failed miserably, but once in a while it won spectacularly.

It almost makes me want to go see what's out there in terms of online TCGs.
Startups Are Pummeled in the ‘Great Unwinding’
Encouraging them to come to you when they see something suspicious or that's instructing them to do something is the solution to this problem, it doesn't seem likely that arbitrary censorship is the right solution.

You'll get far more damaging views from viewing Facebook, a book written by an economist or the front page of a news outlet than anything blocked by one of these filters.

Blocking 'icky' content is easier (notably, it isn't impossible) than blocking bad ideas.

The trick is to talk about what they read online, it's not to stop them from reading it at all.

The economies of those countries doesn't disagree with my point.

While most of those haven't committed any atrocities, people have died due to the poverty socialism creates. It's only a matter of time until the regimes in power are questioned and more blood is shed.

Ideally you want democracy (for freedom) and capitalism (for money).

If you don't have capitalism, you will crumble, China found that out the hard way and corrected itself (though never added the democracy part).

Keep in mind, poverty kills people too. Most of the countries you listed are extremely poor.

India who has been practicing socialism since '47 has the largest slums in the world.

I think one huge problem is work-life balance and having proper leisure. Remote work on some days has been massively productive. Lately, though? Not so much...

It also goes without saying that it depends on how good your remote setup is. I have a fairly nice setup for docking, with dual monitors and a keyboard/mouse. Software also matters, which in some circumstances can be tricky.
We're already really good at building mini-brains that can play pong..and much more advanced games than pong. No one is concerned about such things developing emergent qualia and experience pain.
People who are targets of abuse obviously have problem getting out of it. There are various reasons, most frequently they are financially or psychologically dependent on the abuser.

It is very frequently that person trying to help a victim is unable to convince the victim to leave the abuser.

Faced this situation, the next best step is to offer some kind of lifeline that can be triggered when things get bad. It is very important this is inconspicuous because it otherwise is very likely to trigger abusive behavior from their captor and if it is not inconspicuous it has very little chance of being actually used. Abused person that has no privacy is unlikely to call public number that can be tracked to their support person and may face being cut off from any communication.

It is not that important who is on the other side, the same way that is not important who hears shouts of captive person. What is important is there will be some help coming when it is needed the most.
I've seen schools do this. My old high school had macbook airs available for checkout at the library, as well as the desktops used for printing. Obviously the student user did not have admin access, and a student could trivially gain it using this method, opening up the systems to all sorts of nasty stuff.

Me too. I swear they are stretching "vulnerability" to the point of stupidity. So, if a Hacker gets into your Zoom Meeting (itself a problem) and sends you a link, and you click it, bad things happen? Why, send out the hounds to any thing that has clickable links. Better boycot web browsers too while we're at it. Because the problem here isn't a clickable link, what if someone copy pastes it? Is that a zoom vulnerability too? The issue is Microsoft allowing SMB to the internet by default, or bad IT config allowing it to the net by default. The password problem is Microsoft STILL using insecure auth mechanisms there. NONE OF THIS has ANYTHING to do with Zoom or e-mail or a web browser IMO.

Oh, if you're already hacked in enough to run code on MacOS, you can grab the camera with Zoom. Or, you know, use any of many methods to do that I'm sure. The problem, and the reason for HIPS / AV / security solutions is to stop running "hacker code". If I'm running arbitrary code on your Mac, I don't need Zoom to grab a password.

Now, the bad installer methods used on MacOS - yes, those should not happen and ought to be fixed. I think it's the big problem, no one gets paid for a secure system, but one that people can use. Security just causes issues sadly, and making it possible for the most incapable computer user is why everyone loves Zoom for "just working". That sadly incentivizes them to try and work around security roadblocks, which is bad.
Neither one of those are socialist countries. Sweden is very capitalistic, they have been reversing welfare services since 1994.

Both do have great welfare services, but they are very capitalistic and had great wealth before implementing the services.

Norway can thank that oil for their great welfare.

edit: to the user below, you're arguing semantics. I know the definition of socialism and it cannot exist with capitalism. I suggest you read up.

You're conflating socialism with welfare services and arguing about the semantics of the two to reach your point.

tldr: I'm being critical of socialism, not "democratic socialism".

1.1.1.1 for Families doesn't seem to support the canary domain so by default Firefox would bypass this service.

Also the canary domain only works if Firefox is not explicitly set to use DoH. If using DoH has explicitly been set by the user than the canary domain has no effect.

Edit: Some testing seems to show that Mozilla has lumped these in with a select few others and will not bypass them when DoH is the default instead of explicitly selected even though they don't report the canary domain as an error. It will bypass them when DoH is explicitly enabled.
