In the Jitsi thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22758131) also currently on the front page, someone from Jitsi mentions that they do have a way around this and that they don't decode the video on the server:

"We use a technique called simulcast. It consists on making every participant "work a bit harder" for the good of the bunch.

That is, every participant sends 3 separate video resolutions to the server: 720p, 480p and 180p (this may change due to bandwidth constraints). Then the server will only forward the approopriate layer to each other participant. So, if you are only seeing me in a thumbnail it will only forward the 180p layer. If I become the active speaker (or you choose to pin me to the large view) the server will immediately switch to forwarding the 720p layer."

So s/All/Not all/. Note that Jitsi does not claim to have e2e encryption.

Nations are not competitors. They are trade partners.

I'm not seeing how the choir director example relates to mine. In my particular case, if you mean someone like the manager is the choir director who decides: Well, at the moment he can't, as he isn't actively involved in the code base, so he doesn't know all the issues. He wants the team to discuss it (and he'll monitor the discussion) so that all the issues come to the table. Then with all the feedback, he can make an informed decision/suggestion.

But he's stuck at the stage where multiple people are arguing in a very non-constructive manner, and so he can't see all the issues on the table. How can he get the different parties to talk without merely repeating their stance?

There are clearly emotions involved. And yes, I do agree with you that it is not necessary for people to discuss them. However, if they are discussed well, then it makes the rest of the discussion easier. The "discussing well" is what many communications books are trying to address. Trying to get to the technical aspects that are causing these feelings is a good idea, but a lot harder if you don't know the feelings.

One person involved is quite senior, incredibly competent, and very rarely gets into arguments. He's definitely getting into one. So there are clearly strong emotions at play. If he's upset, he has a good reason. And at the moment he's refusing to engage and is building walls. Now this might be because the other party is perceived as being dismissive, so he doesn't want to waste time in the discussion.

When one person is appearing dismissive, and the other person is clamming up, how do you get them to talk so that the manager has all the factors to consider on the table? Note that the notion that one is dismissive and the other is upset are merely how I have observed the dialogue - and I may be off. Any attempt at starting a discussion where it is accepted that one side is being dismissive and the other stubborn is likely to blow up.

I don't think you're being fair.

Sounds like you are saying that refactoring is usually incompetently done to me.

Not at all intended on my part. Nor would I say it is usually what went wrong.

The primary root cause is an underestimation of the true complexity of the problem. The details of which only start to become apparent after you've begun the rewrite.

An inevitable secondary cause is organizational pressures to add features to the rewrite. This happens after frustration builds because other departments have been unable to get features into the legacy code. I can't fault developers for lack of skill in managing these organizational pressures. That skill is not a core competency for developers, but it generally is for the people who are trying to get their agendas into the development roadmap.

If there is any additional challenge from the lack of skill of the developers, then you had much bigger problems from the start.
to be clear: Zoom is actually really great. Trying to channel some extra time on my hands to making people laugh in this crazy time. :)
> The mainstream US media has become a one-sided partisan cheerleading squad for the Democrats

They broadcast almost every word Trump says, largely uncritically[1], with frequent "Today is the day he became President" epiphanies whilst minor Democrat issues are blown up into huge talking points and controversies that last for months.

How the chuff are they a "one-sided partisan cheerleading squad" for the Democrats?

[1] There'll occasionally be a "these things aren't true" afterwards but it doesn't stop them broadcasting them first.
I didn’t say they were limited to communication, I just said it’s an example.

Of course there are differences which go beyond nurture.

Edit - I'll concede that analogies are absolutely fun haha. They might be useful to come up with when you yourself are trying to better understand something by drawing connections to other things you know and all. But I don't think they're ideal for being taught the subject. And again, for a layperson, analogies are totally fine if you just want a surface level understanding of "oh, mitochondrias are powerhouses of the cell." But if you want to do anything with that, beware the dangers.

The second analogy is ok, but again not really great if you want to understand what's actually going on. If you just want to get an intuition that DNA has something to do with storing information, as long as that comes with an understanding that information evolves (biology is really the study of evolution in many ways), that's probably more than enough for a layperson. But it's a dangerous understanding if you plan on using it as a foundation to try and explore more complicated topics in biology. There's no need to do so, but if you are going to, it's far far better to spend the time getting the correct first-principles understanding and get rid of this idea of "DNA as source code" so you can better grapple with the subject.

I don't think the first analogy makes much sense since it makes nucleotides the sort of active agents here and needlessly focuses on individual nucleotides when codon triplets are what are involved in coding for proteins (probably better to, if you have to use an analogy, treat nucleotides as letters instead of words). And, especially in the context of this thread, neither analogy build the understanding needed to really dive into what RNA is, which is important for understanding what RNA viruses are, and what the coronavirus is.

This is true, but what I think most people don't realize is that the evidence that antibiotics kill the bacteria in the first place is also extremely dubious. If you read the main paper, it literally boils down to "people who take antibiotics are less likely to get a rash."[1]

There was a book on computers I found in my childhood that inspired me to get into programming, and I'm really interested in finding it again. I'm convinced it was either an Usborne book or was somehow related to the Usborne books, and there's a lot of fans of those books around here, so I figure this thread is probably a good place to ask around to see if anyone recognizes it.

The book had qualities in common with the books "The Usborne Young Scientist: Computers (1992)"/"Usborne Guide to Computers (1981)" (near-identical span and even order of topics, but this book was much less cartoony and was more technically in-depth) and "The Usborne Book of the Future" (it contained some pages like https://miro.medium.com/max/1920/1*M9yzYC6k154ODT0k0SiYMg.jp... with same style of illustration and lots of descriptions about the items in the illustration) but the book was none of those. The book wasn't dedicated to showing off program code, but it did have a bit of BASIC on one page, it contained descriptions of logic gates, and it even had a half-adder circuit, which I remember copying each of into my notebook and simulating on paper. I think the book was either based on or was a precursor to "Usborne Guide to Computers (1981)", but I haven't been able to get any further than that. I've written a lot more of a description from what I remember at https://tildes.net/~talk/is4/whats_one_thing_you_havent_been....

Knowing someone's phone number very obviously doesn't grant you direct access to autojoin their calls with people.

If host A is using gmail to spam me, then I can block host A, but if gmail would remove this I can only block all of gmail (or the gmail account, but a new account will be created 2 seconds later, whereas creating new IPs is much harder).
