I agree with this general goal, but it is much more complex than it seems from the outset. Any program at this scale has to be thoughtful of the larger societal, moral, and cultural consequences it brings with it.

Just looking at free food, a fundamental question is: Is this expected to be a baseline that all people receive and then people buy additional/better food, or is supposed to be an option where many/most don't take the free food option at all?

If the former, then you risk massive waste. If the free food is mediocre, people will just take it, buy better stuff, and then throw out the crappy stuff. If you solve that with better food, you run into hard questions around the cost and quality ceiling. Food is one of those product areas where you can spend nearly limitless money on it, but it's not feasible for a country to give 100% of its citizens foie gras and cavier every day.

But, of course, deliberately drawing the line somewhere lower has connotations that people who use that food are "bad" because otherwise don't they deserve better food?

If the latter, then you run into the current problem with welfare that the people in power don't use the system at all, which gives you the principle-agent problem we see in welfare today where many people hate funding it because they don't benefit.

Then there are questions of how you manage this logistically. How do you reduce the risk of exploitation? If the government, say, gives out free bags of rice, how do you prevent a restaurant from just grabbing dozens of them and then using them for their food service? But if you spend too much effort on enforcement, then you waste resources on enforcement that could be better spent elsewhere.

It is a hard, complex problem. SNAP today is basically our current stab at it. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that could be swept away and easily replaced with something simpler and clearly better. Problems aways seem much easier when you are far away from them.

This part of your message does not help. To divide and radicalize people it will just make society weaker and individuals more irrational. For the virus there is no party lines nor nationalism. For the virus we are all together on this.

Social distancing, washing your hands and face masks are effective. And, I hope that next time we will be better prepared for this kind of emergencies. Humanity learns from each challenge.
I'm not so sure it's so black and white. Isn't this exactly the kind of situation that these banks would use as leverage to get themselves a better deal, especially as interest rate they can charge was a specific complaint?

Dude, seriously? This title is so editorialized it makes me want to barf. The location information is available to everyone. Not just governments. Jesus.
HN is way more geeky/nerdy than your regular tech news, hence my curiosity.
I think this is an important point not just in the context of Zoom, but every time privacy (or the lack of) gets thrown around in an argument.

It's perfectly possible to have end to end encrypted email, text, payments etc, but:
1. You will always loose features.
2. The "endpoint" (you) becomes responsible for a much bigger part of the protocol.

Most modern applied crypto is just shuffling trust and responsibility around.

Thank you for posting this. Long ago I investigated how cheaply I could eat. I researched nutritional needs, created a spreadsheet, priced items at the supermarket.

It was easy to keep myself well fed at a cost far below standard assistance levels.

When I encountered poor people complaining their money ran out, I discovered that some were hostile to the very ideas of thrift, self reliance, or any principals of stoicism.

I would still try out --gc:arc on your programs. For mine it just runs without issue. But keep in mind if you do have issues you might have to create a bug report and wait for a fix. You would not reply on --gc:arc working. But it's fun to play around with. It's real now.

Personally I find bad 3-D more offputting than bad 2D.

Bad 2D fades to the background of my mind's eye, allowing me to focus on the story or characters, while bad 3D manages to capture and distract my attention.
Kurzarbeit is a concept whose time has come. I desperately hope that governments around the world consider emulating this excellent policy during the COVID-19 pandemic and afterward. It's a great way to insulate economies from the harmful switching costs (i.e. firing and then rehiring and retraining) caused by a temporary economic downturn.
Show HN: Telehealth-Tracker – built to help my wife with her new workload
Ask HN: Is accepting a phone call a threat vector?
Is it possible for someone to attack your device or gain information about you (other than the fact that your phone number is valid) by you simply answering a call? By which I mean native phone calls, not Whatsapp or Skype or anything. Is this something that could be a threat vector and just doesn't have any currently-known vulnerabilities, or is it a limited enough channel that it can't really even be one in theory? If it makes a difference, I'm on iOS.

The reason I ask is that I've suddenly gotten 42 calls from different states in the past 2 hours (up from the usual 1-2 spam calls per week). These are extra weird because they often don't wait more than a second before hanging up and calling again, which makes it feel like they're trying to brute-force something. They also sometimes-but-not-usually call from the same number multiple times in a row, which is unusual for spammers.

Part of me wants to answer one of them just to see if it is a garden-variety scammer, but I'm also pretty sketched-out. I wonder if it has to do with the "Zoom Bombing" or related activities.

Any info is appreciated.
Amazon is almost certainly using this opportunity to "trim the fat." Not saying these people are bad developers, but Amazon seems to require a very specific personality type.
That's pretty neat. For big/little SOCs, could it benefit security to run something less secure like android/ubports on the big side and something more secure (openbsd?) on the little side?
Yes, the issue is becoming dollars. There are programs in place that seek to do this. Specifically "food stamps" -> the latest bill funds these a lot more.

But due to years of people handwringing over abuse, and "economists" encouraging thrift, the process to get food stamps isn't speedy, it's state-by-state, and now it's overwhelmed.

Due to the general anthemia among the GOP for welfare type programs, different states are going to see different levels of urgency with boosting the food stamp programs. It's much the same as how some GOP led states refused the medicaid expansion that was part of the ACA.

Hopefully this will reveal new information to voters of those states as they slowly starve and as they realize that certain other states are doing better - what's the difference? Competent governance. You can't buy it, but you can vote for it.

I don't know if we can draw a parallel between great japanese automobile companies with their software counterparts; But thinking about how japanese motorcycles are known for its longetivity and less maintanence compared to other country made motorcycles, I feel like there is a correlation here and the way companies like suzuki treats their employees is imbued in their DNA for delivering motorcycles that emphasize on longetivity ...
Viruses typically invade a cell by latching onto a part of the cell membrane, usually a receptor of some sort. Those receptors are for some biologic process from regulation to nutrition. If it can't mimic any structure it can't reproduce and will be selected out.

An antibody is in some ways similar. They latch onto the bacteria or virus, but instead of invading they glom on and then signal the body to come dispose of this thing.

If your body picks the wrong feature for the pattern, then the antibody could attach to healthy tissue. Maybe one particular type, like insulin cells, or myelin.
Interpreting an SSID closes to me, with 0 activity (noone connects there). According to wireshark, beacon takes 516µs at 6Mbit/s with 40 beacons/s, which equals 500e-6 * 40 = 0.02 = 2% airtime goes to a single SSID with 0 traffic. Typical settings are 10 beacon/s which would be 0.5%, but 2.4Ghz has 1Mbit/s default rate, so about 3%.

With 20 idle SSIDs on 2.4Ghz with default settings, roughly 50% of airtime is spent on SSID broadcast.
I've always thought, Windows should automatically only forward credentials for the local domain, or trusted domains, I don't think that would be difficult to sort and offer good protection.

BUT I don't necessarily blame Zoom for this.
Gotcha! Thanks for the clarity.
That's completely fair. I'm not criticising the compiler not complaining about this code, I'm providing a counter-point to rumanator's assertion that:

> UB is a kin of you intentionally pointing your gun to your foot, taking your time to aim it precisely on your foot, and in spite of all the possible warnings and error messages that are shouted at you…

Because they could hardly be more wrong, the average UB is completely invisible to static analysers because it's a dynamic condition which the type system is not smart enough to move to static. That's why it's an UB and not, say, a compile error.
I haven't personally had a change yet, although things have been a little slow here lately, so who knows.

My wife, on the other hand, was reduced to 3 days a week at her job for the next 90 days, with a reduced salary to reflect that, so 40% reduction in salary. At least she wasn't in the group at her office that was furloughed.

So things are still tighter for us, although we're still a lot better off than most people right now.

Even that statement you know was qualified, since I'm assuming you aren't implying it was to practicing medical personnel.

"There is no need" - there still isn't. There are zero instances, even in a lab, where we've seen the virus aerosolize. If you keep your distance, all indications are you should be fine.

The only thing that has changed (and remember, this is advice based on facts, and so as new facts are uncovered, the advice can change too; that's called "science", and is different than "propaganda", which is what I was directly responding to) is that we have seen some cases we can't explain...and so the guidance has become "just in case, sure, why not...just please not the medical ones because we need those for people who have to get within 6 feet of sick people".

Maybe I’m bad at English, but I had exactly the opposite interpretation. When someone says they “don’t” do something, that implies to me that they are able to, but choose not to. Otherwise, they’d just say they “can’t”.
There are existing startup incentive programs...

The point of CARES is to keep existing revenue-generating businesses open, and their employees paid.

And quite frankly, as a former techie it's kind of disgusting that people in the tech community are complaining that their employee-free, revenue-free, 1-day-old startup doesn't qualify for a program intended to keep existing, otherwise viable businesses (absent COVID19) running and their employees paid. This is not the time for the tech community to launch yet another regulatory arbitrage startup that exploits everyone else.
That google duo doesn't support multiparty conferences in the browser? You can try starting one if you like. They only support 1-to-1 calls in the browser.

edit: Here you go https://support.google.com/duo/thread/11344666?hl=en Is that sufficient, or do I really need a reference that something doesnt exist?
Big drops in ad revenue are affecting companies big and small.

Yes. Kurzarbeit means the company keeps people on its payroll but doesn't give them full hours. The government tops their pay back up to 100% but the company is saved from carrying the full load. The company keeps its employees and all the valuable training they received, allowing it to get back to full speed once the downturn is over.

A free market is very inept at solving this problem because no single company is going to make the long term investment required to foresee future recessions and implement a war chest sufficient to offer Kurzarbeit. But the state can think ahead and generate a public good from this kind of program.

But isn't that fundamentally s problem with users not setting passwords? A 6 digit meeting key means that if there's 50,000 meetings running at once, each code has a 1/20 chance of hitting an active room.
I despise means testing as well. I also believe the moral hazard argument is over blown most of the time. I would like to see a guaranteed employer of last resort that pays enough for someone to live. This employer (federal agency) could adapt the work that is done to a situation. Provide opportunities for retraining and so forth. This could also provide the psychological safety many are in need of and reduce desperation. Means testing is expensive and causes many to not get the help they need.

One man shop pro fotog here. My macOS server 5.6.3 High Sierra is awesome, the last complete version... File Server with literally decades and multiple terabytes of raw photos… The ease of the email server is unmatched…. Websites and Nextcloud, invoiceninja, all just work with minimal php tweaking…. and all here IN MY OFFICE. I have linux droplets, and am more or less ready to make the move, but I won’t until it actually dies… but only when I have to. I hope the hardware (from 2010) holds out forever, but I do have a spare ready and daily CCC backups and disks rotated to firesafe… at least for me it just works. Knock on wood.
You are absolutely correct, but it can sound to a reader lacking nuance as if you were arguing that other factors (outside the mind) aren't important. Many people suffer from the prison of two ideas, and wrongly misinterpret this argument as a denial of important social, cultural, historical factors.
I wonder if the Wayfair people are just still unemployed from their layoff in Feb.

I'm seeing a bunch of interns in there too which is kind of interesting.
And us? What is this lesson teaching us that we didn't already know?

Yes, we have to deal with the consequences of their idiocy. I fail to see how our agency, given we aren't voting for these clowns, is contributing to the problem.
No, it’s a DRM restriction - you can download a DRM-locked copy that disables itself after a set time, and while you have it checked out nobody else can read that “copy.” Nothing to do with server load.
No but making a intl job hop soon in the middle of this mess and a little worried that it'll not pan out (despite signed contract).

In some American states, if your company fires more than x people, you have to give the state and the employees 20 or more days notice.
Not really, it's just slower moving. For every 1 real geek tech post, there are two or three days of regular news things. I came here based on the slower, more thoughtful discussion. I'm in higher ed, not even close to tech.
Sometimes it's just circumstance and timing... There were good intentions around what happened.
My wife is a family medicine doctor and and switched to virtually 100% of her time doing telehealth visits (thanks to the US government allowing telehealth for everything). She wanted a basic app to track how she spends the calls for the purposes of a QI project she plans on working on.

I figured this was a good chance for me to learn Vue which is something I’ve been meaning to do.

The app might actually be useful for other people who want to track time on any number of projects.

I’d love some constructive feedback from anyone with Vue or general web development experience.

Trump and Buhari are quite similar in how they preyed on the yearnings of the low class to get "elected". The Buhari administration blames the past administrations for every conceivable thing. (And I've seen Trump do the same thing).

Whenever Nigeria's current govt is caught red-handed, they reframe the narrative by saying, "This is nothing compared to 16 years of theft by PDP" (the last ruling party)

If you've read animal farm, you'll remember how the farm starved under Napoleon's rule. And how Squealer convinced the animals that they actually have more food and better lives than under Snowball and Humans.

It's amazing but these guys actually pulled this Squealer move off.

But all these pale in comparison Buhari's ultimate move. I don't know how he/they did it. But...

His supporters never blame the president - even when they grudgingly admit things are worse. They'll simply say:

The president is good. It's just that he's SURROUNDED BY BAD PEOPLE.

That's an interesting response. It seems to me that the flame level on this site is quite low in response to somewhere like Reddit. People argue here, of course, but usually it's in an informational sort of way and rarely devolves into "yer momma is soooo fat...." kind of discourse.
Everyone took a 20% pay cut, lots of people have been furloughed so workload has also increased. Would've been nice to have had a voice in the company's decision; kinda caught between a rock and a hard place at this point.
