As an employee, the slower market might mean that you don't get a job, because you're more of a long-term risk.

I'm by no means arguing that hire and fire is the best approach, but it makes the market more flexible. So even if you lose your job (less job security), you'll have less trouble finding a new one (less risk).

Interference is largely a property of the specific scheme. 5G schemes are better than LTE when comparing apples-to-apples (e.g. aggregate bandwidth on the same bands in the same geographic area), whatever comes after 5G will continue moving the ball forward, and the theoretical limitations on how much further we can keep kicking the ball are still out of sight.

Thus the question isn't what regulatory regime is best for squeezing the most out of LTE, but rather what's the optimal pace of radio communications evolution and how to achieve it. That's a drastically different type of question that almost certainly has a drastically different answer, or at least a much more complex answer.

WebEx is terrible, FaceTime is Apple-only, Skype is circling the drain since being bought by Microsoft, so there is a lot of pent-up demand for a good cross-platform videoconferencing tool. Zoom is one of the front-runners.

There is a good overview of the options in an article recently posted here - see under "Videoconferencing":

Multi-CDN in 2020: Trends, Best Practices, Provider Types
What you're doing is certainly less spammy if it's actually hand-tailored to each recipient and their particular domain or requirements, and not based on a template.

Maybe I'm missing your or your clients' perspectives, but you you have to understand the perspectives of the recipients, too, and of people like me who see the aggregate of what they receive. Depending on someone's role, someone may receive emails of that nature from 5 - 20 or more companies every week. (Often involving more than 5 - 20 emails, since many are follow-ups.) Multiply 5 - 20 a week over years, and you might develop a certain attitude. And then when I have to look at tens of thousands of them per year (over 100,000 in total if you include any kind of reported email), over several years, I'm definitely going to develop a certain impression.

Depending on the company and product, an offering could apply very generally. For example, employees at our company would receive tons of cloud- and security-themed cold emails, and these would be addressed to anyone with any technology-related position. Pretty much every medium or large company is using the cloud in some way and cares about information security, so is the "correct" thing to do to blast the cold emails to the hundreds of thousands/millions of people who work in a technology role at any company above a certain size? How do you know where it ends?

I'll say it's better than constantly calling people's phones, at least, and if the follow-ups aren't that aggressive or frequent then it's just a minor nuisance, but mass marketing and advertising in general often just rub me the wrong way.
What do you mean with the schedule point? You tell everyone when to join, they join, meeting starts. The rooms exists when someone is in there, you don't need to open them at a certain time.
> Nobody cares

That was because nobody really paid attenion to your specific calls/emails/text messages and nothing really happened. The government could do it, but most of us don't show up on their radar. We didn't care about them because they didn't care about us.

Nowadays that is changing. Computers are able to listen to everything, match it all up to people, and with a little capitalism and profit, use the information. But don't let on.

Voila, personalized pricing. Hire only the age you like. Don't just rent to anybody. Date only thin people (with poor impulse control). Loan money to desperate people.

I hope that this will change.
Notes on the M4 Macro Language (2008)
I guess in cars they use less (public) librarys because of safety. So there own libs are included in LOC. If you look at a modern Microsoft licence, they list tons of used open source libs in there products. I guess if you include all the librarys, the LOC number should be much higher.
Most of these "weaknesses" are in the language for 30 years or so and it doesn't seem to be hindering the popularity too much.
I stand corrected. The readme gave the impression of a much less mature project.

I don't think he is saying that these issues have to do with scaling problems, but rather that the increased usage + new types of usages led to increased scrutiny and uncovered new issues. Which is correct in a way.

Obviously, they were told several issues in the past too, but then those issues were not costing them money. Now they are, so they are trying to fix them.

We are all software devs -- we know as well as him. He's chosen to prioritise growth over end user data privacy protection and then lying about it with marketing e.g. E2E advertised on front page.

Many of these privacy/security issues were being complained about on HN about Zoom well before Corona.

If Zoom users are data breached I personally won't feel sorry for them like some other breaches like Equifax for example. They've signed up to this to secure a bit of convenience. I will be personally discouraging it's use where I work.

Screen grabbed from their excellent tutorial videos:

One thing we’ve found in deploying Jitsi several times is that good performance is difficult to achieve across parties who are across the globe.

We have some of our team in Armenia, Belarus and London and not all of then get consistent performance.

I know you can do geographic sharding so all EU or US guests get connected to their closest server but is there a way to ensure cross country participants all get good performance?
Bank of France to Test CBDC Contributing to Wider Effort
> Nobody cares.

Repeating this mantra all the time is not helpful.

People have been told that modern computing and privacy cannot coexist. That all software companies spy on them and users can only choose between giving up privacy or giving up technology.

On top of that, privacy, by itself, is meaningless. What matters is information inequality. Inequality is power.

When people can monitor a government you have democracy.

When people cannot monitor a government and the government monitors people you have tyranny.

Unsurprisingly, there are many paid privacy and anonymity services for wealthy people.

Please don't say that people just don't care. People have been educated to be meek to authority.

Most Popular Websites 1996 – 2019
The US is doing a minimum of ~100,000 tests per day currently (1.2 million total tests at a minimum thus far), although that doesn't capture every private test that is performed. That's double the per capita per day test rate that Britain is functioning at currently and it's also far off the rate that Germany is testing at (the US needs to increase its rate by 2x to 2.5x or so to match Germany) on the excellent testing side of things. Right now it's more fair to say the US would probably fall in the middle of Western Europe on the testing rate.

The reason Britain has an extreme 8% mortality rate on its positive cases, is because they aren't testing properly (and haven't been). They'd already be at 100,000+ cases if they were testing just at the rate the US is. France as another example has such an extreme case mortality rate (7%) in part because they're not testing enough people. Their positive result would be far higher than ~60k right now if they were (and that mortality rate would drop considerably).

One of the reasons Germany's mortality rate is so low, is they're catching a very large number of all positive cases via massive testing. If the US were testing at the rate of Germany, its case mortality rate (which is around 2.3%) would drop by more than 1/2.

This site has done a very good job at bringing together all the available testing data across the states.

This [0] does not suggest that anything but ethanol/water and potentially some other volatile compounds are in the distillate. I'm not familiar with brewing and flavoring distilled spirits, but quite familiar with distillation and doubt that even oil would be in the distillate.

[1] suggests that tannins are present in the distillate, but I have not found a tannin that is volatile and [2] names one that isn't in beer

Flavor seems to be added after distillation from what i can see (and is potentially influenced by the volatile impurities)

I find the original virtualenv system works well. There's no need for virtualenvwrapper or pipenv or any of that nonsense. Just make a virtual environment whereever you like ("virtualenv -p python3 ~/envs/myenv" if you want to share between projects, or "virtualenv -p python3 path/to/project/env" if you don't). Use "pip install -r requirements.txt" if your project has one. Activating and deactivating is straightforward. Deleting a virtual environment is easiest of all - literally just delete the directory and you're done.

The main problem that Conda was originally meant to solve was that basic Python packaging (virtualenv, pip) required you to build C extensions yourself which is a huge pain (mostly getting all the C dependencies installed). But with the advent of binary wheels and (eventually, in 2016) a binary wheel standard for Linux [1] you can now get binary builds of most packages on most OSs by just doing a "pip install packagename" - typically this is even more likely to work than Conda in recent years.

The only limitation of virtualenv is it requires you to have already installed Python yourself. On Linux I just use the system-installed version (the Python 3 one obviously), but on Windows I use Conda to create the environments and then pip to install the packages, which works fine.

There is a huge difference countries in between in Europe.
On one hand, you have Spain/Italy and on another, you have Denmark which is starting to plan a controlled opening in the coming weeks [1]. Denmark being the second European country to impose lockdown after Italy. But did so much earlier in the curve than Italy.

Going forward it will be very interesting to compare the 3 Scandinavian countries Denmark/Norway and Sweden. Very similar countries cultural, political, and economical but have chosen two very different paths. With Sweden being the last European country holding out against lockdown.

Edit: While the countries have very different population/area ratio their capitals Copenhagen/Oslo/Stockholm are comparable. And I'm not only talking about the actual number of cases/deaths. But also how the economy is going to be effected in the long run.

New Study Claims Self-Driving Cars Are Racist
> I find it fascinating how committed everyone now is to Zoom when, at least in my circle, almost nobody had used it before two weeks ago.

Anecdotally, almost every startup/VC/etc. in my circle has been using Zoom for the past 2+ years (Paris and London). So there was probably a seed ready to take root not far from you. I've had the occasional Hangouts, and the rare WebEx or Teams meeting with some larger orgs, but that's it. I haven't even logged in to Skype in that time period.

Even my parents have been able to use zoom seamlessly from their phones. I think it helps that you don't even have to login or have an account if it's always someone else creating the meetings.

Zoom was not the first mover in chat/video apps, far from it. But over the past few years, it has overtaken all the other, older ones for the early adopters in the technology adoption cycle, at least in my anecdotal experience. The last few weeks have accelerated the mass adoption that could have taken much longer or never happened to an instant.

In Polish we could say "on": eg. "12,428 people have now died on COVID-19".

This is a good explanation of why it's fast.

An interesting point with the design of simdjson loses its branchlessness in "stage 2". I originally had a bunch of very elaborate plans to try to stay branchless far further into the parsing process. It proved just too hard to make it work. There were some promising things that ultra-modern Intel chips - meaning Icelake - and future iterations of ARM (SVE/SVE2) - are adding to their SIMD abilities, so it might be worth revisiting this in a few years (there aren't too many Icelake boxes out there and SVE barely exists).
An Interview with Zeynep Tufekci About Masks, Media, and Information Ecology
I don't think that was GP's point. "From" seems absolutely correct. Using "with" would mean that the number refers to people who died while having COVID-19; using "from" means COVID-19 was the cause of death.
In a previous discussion on HN about Jitsi, it was claimed that Firefox was missing some key aspect of the WebRTC standard that made sending video to multiple people more efficient; and that if a single person in the conference was using Firefox, the result would be a lot more CPU utilization for everyone.

So it "works" on Firefox, but the experience will be degraded when scaling up to more users. Hopefully FF can prioritize this feature now that the entire world needs high-quality video conferences on a regular basis.
They're dying of it, not with it.
