CID spoofing is an entirely different thing from getting a local VoIP number. A lot of spammers just get local VoIP number, that's not spoofing, that's just a real local number.

CID spoofing is when you tell the network to display a different caller ID value than the actual originator. This never had any sort of authentication in the US (until the announcement in the OP)

Most of the spam calls in the US aren't CID spoofed, but some egregious scams are. This is usually used for things like scammers displaying "SOCIAL SECURITY" on the caller ID.

The US just generally doesn't make carriers liable for the crimes of their users. We don't need to change that, and I don't think it's a good idea either because of the unintended affects that could have on accessibility. We just need to require controls that authenticate proper use of the network. The announcement in the OP is one step towards doing that.

But preventing CID spoofing alone is not going to stop spam calls from local numbers, because VoIP.

Looks like the measures for authoritarianism are taken from various indices for present-day countries. I wonder how this would hold up if we ask historians to rank historical civilizations by "authoritarianism" and then see how this holds up when extrapolated there.
It's AI in the rule-based GOFAI paradigm rather than modern neural-network-based ML.

It's awesome to see criticisms of Marxism on the one hand attack its rigid dogmatism, and on the other hand attack its vague, mystical dialectics.

I've been a marxist for 10 years and it's extremely rare to see a criticism of Marx that accurately describes the ideas of scientific socialism. Probably the best is Dr Shapiro from Yale:
https://youtu.be/s6MOA_Y3MKE

Even he professes to have discoved "fatal" flaws in Marx which I don't think are actually fatal, and maybe don't even agree with. But overall he at least gives an honest, and critical account. He practically stands alone in this regard.

I take it you don't have kids. The stacks of ads in apps for kids is nuts and Amazon will gladly feed them to you. Walk away for 5m to feed let's and come back to your kid watching a trailer for some dumb movie. Take it away because you have to avert your gaze for a moment and your 5m chore becomes a 30m tantrum. It's only been made worse by social distancing and no opportunity to learn how to interact with other people.

Think of it like a child safety lock: you only need them until they can figure them out. By the time they know how they work, you can have a conversation with them about being safe around the house.

On the matter of ethics, while I don't feel inclined to filter the world away from older kids, I'm firmly believe you're wrong. There's nothing unethical about making choices for your kids until they're old enough to make informed choices. The amount of garbage online (revenge porn, sexual degradation of women, red pills) makes easy for kids to find bad information at an age where they can't process is correctly. Parents determine what age that is because that's their role and it's entirely situational.
Creating a Unified Modular UI Framework at a Startup
Video conferencing is a dime a dozen. There are so many other services, that I fail to see why Zoom should be given any sort of pass.

Facebook is probably one of the best ways to connect to and stay updated with your extended family during a time like this. Should they be given a free pass for any scandals that come to light during the pandemic?

Google is probably one of the best gateways to information about COVID-19. Should they be given a free pass for any scandals that come to light during the pandemic?
Drawing the line for the behavior of what I require my children to do at "is this legal or not?" is patently a bad idea, not to mention morally confused.

As children get older, you of course give them more autonomy, but so long as they are your dependents, you have both an obligation and a right to set reasonable boundaries on their behavior.

I certainly explain the rationale, and when possible try to persuade rather than force behavior where possible, and also let them make bad choices so they can learn from the experience, but they don't always possess the rational capacity to think about the long-term consequences or the ability to deal with those consequences when they occur.

I require my children to brush their teeth, because a failure to do so would result in both poor health consequences for them, and a great deal of expense for me.

As for restricting access to lurid content when my children are given internet access? Absolutely. I say this as someone who had unfiltered internet access as a teenager. They do whatever they want once they get their own internet access.
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

It's a little too convenient that the US blew so many weeks of lead time in getting mass testing running. We don't need to suppress information about our virus outbreak when we simply don't have data about it. We literally would've had a better response if the CDC didn't exist at all and individual states weren't impeded from running their own tests. The Seattle Flu Study was explicitly forbidden from testing for coronavirus, and their refusal to obey that order on ethical grounds was probably the reason that they're not suffering New York's fate right now.

Not to absolve China here, but it's a classic sin of nations to hide epidemics (see "Spanish Flu") and they probably aren't even the most egregious sinners today.
To add to that, as an example, here's how you could implement something similar in Clojure [1]. It just relies on dynamic scope to run the handler without unwinding the stack.

State machines really shine in networking protocols where a state machine is part of the spec. I do agree though that when used in applications where it isn’t abundantly clear what the state machine is, or what that state machine is evolving over time that it isn’t the best abstraction.

You sure it's the blood? I would have guessed it affects nerves directly.
I'm a little confused by their definition of "jobs" here. Is this the absolute number of jobs? Or the types of jobs available? Looking at the article, they use wages to get a more firm grasp on this (saying something like 44% of wages could be made from home). If that's the case, what does that statistic say for the unemployment rate in the US, should social-distancing remain long term? Are we going to see >50% unemployment??

Actually, killing coreaudiod can be necessary every once in a while.
Over $20.000.

I got that figure from http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1808049,0... which suggests that a year of life should be worth about $130,000. So that is a bit over $10k per month.

Furthermore your hypothetical is slanted to minimizing the problem. Sure, these people are often old and sick. The median age of those killed is around 80. But they were Generally not on death’s door. From https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html your average 80 year old has over 3 years to live. So we should be willing to spend at least $400k. Per life at the median. We are starting to talk about real money now.

But even so it is still low. Because the arithmetic average of this grizzly calculation is pulled up a lot by the younger people who die.

OK, I see you retort, so you’re coming to an order of a magnitude of a trillion dollars for the USA. But aren’t we doing more trillions in stimulus? Does that make sense?

The answer is yes. When we “spend” trillions in stimulus, we get most of it back. (In 2008 we actually made a profit.)

So even if you want to argue straight dollars and cents like an actuary does, we still come out ahead. Preserving human lives, even old people who do not have long to live, is valuable.

There is and can’t be a “greatest” country. That depends on individual preferences.
It's also rare to hear an unironic call to "dumb down."
Your children are people, not property. Your property is property, not a person. It's pretty straightforward.
Right. And a lot of the middle of the country 'flyover states', are incredibly rural and already enact social distancing. They are currently not as affected. People think the United States is one homogenous entity, and that if New York City is endangered, the entire country is. Nothing can be further from the truth.

New York City is 1400 miles from Oklahoma City. To put that in perspective, if a simultaneous lockdown of the entire United States is warranted based on an outbreak in New York City, then a lockdown of Mo i Rana Norway is warranted due to the spread in Lombardy. Or, being 3800 miles away, locking down Nome, AK because of New York, is like locking down Darwin Australia in December due to the outbreak in Wuhan.

In other words, the distances make these suggestions absolutely ridiculous.

In reality, the virus takes time to spread over land, and the US has a lot of empty land. Lockdowns will need to happen in the interior to flatten the curve, but only after the virus starts to manifest there. The goal with lockdown is to not overwhelm the healthcare system while simultaneously insuring enough people get it to ensure herd immunity.

Interior states should encourage people to prepare and suggest those especially at risk to limit interactions. For the most part they are. As they become more affected, they should institute a lockdown at the latest possible moment they can to avoid an overwhelmed healthcare system. In the meantime, they should take advantage of their working economy to prepare.

The rest of the country benefits from the continued industry of the middle states while they are in lockdown. When it comes time for us to open back up, and them to start lockdown, we should return the favor, by maintaining some semblance of our economy

My guess would be that there's a feedback effect, where posters learn to only post comments which are likely to get upvotes. The net effect is that shared opinions converge. Ideally a comment section would be a sample of the whole distribution of opinions, while in practice only the mode of this distribution is represented. This is a direct effect of having votes on comments.

With regards to your question, what I meant was that these two aspects are in fact non-separable. The technical solution (upvotes) shapes the social behavior (the type of discussion) very strongly.

- Don't be afraid to cut bait.

- Work the job while quoting.

- Clients are not equipped to provide technical direction.

Oh stop. China contained the virus with local measures. China has less land area than the United States, which is a very large country. The United States needs sustained regional lockdowns, and other measures in other areas. It does not merit a national response.

To put it in perspective, closing down the nation due to big outbreaks in particular regions is like closing down Darwin Australia due to the initial outbreak in Wuhan.

> "This groundbreaking study, involving 16,000 participants, was conducted by Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom"

I clicked through to the study and it is 16,000 call center employees. This simply doesn't translate to a lot of other jobs.

If you are a call center employee, you're probably not doing a lot of collaborative work. Moreover, it's easy to track your time on the phone, so being at home doesn't necessarily make it easier for you to slack off.

Also, of note, the participants all volunteered for it. It's a strong assumption to assume that people who want to work from home being more productive will mean that everyone working from home will improve productivity.

In short, this article makes a lot of assumptions about how the data would generalize. A more accurate, but less click-baity title would be "Remote Work Can (And Does) Boost Employee Productivity For Certain Types of Workers".

You'll always have people who support one set of ideas over another as long as there's enough ambiguity/uncertainty in critical factors to sway one way or another. Actually it seems to be even deeper than that (e.g. "flat earthers").

In this case, evidence that requires time to collect and events to play out are a realm of uncertainty and ambiguity are frequently played on when comparing capitalism to historic other systems we know "didn't work."

At the same time, you'll have many who understand that those levels of uncertainty and ambiguity can be gamed to their favor and will support which ever options of the uncertain benefit them the most, regardless of what they may believe to be true.

For some reason were so confident and or arrogant that we "have it right" while others have it wrong. Meanwhile, we look at macroscopic trends that are toxic and continue preaching dogma.

When we talk about the scale of economic systems and societies, there's a lot of uncertainty of how any axiomatic rules result in macroscopic/emergent behaviors that we see. It's so complex it's often incredibly difficult to look at macroscopic behaviors we dont want as a society and walk them back to first principles or lower order principles that causes the issue to fix them. For some reason though, it feels like as society we don't try to fix them or those who play on uncertainty and fear to their advantage seem to always win everyone over.

Capitalism is extremely good at a lot of optimization problems and squeezing out efficient solutions. The issue is that it has to be well constrained to optimize for what we want and not optimize for things we don't value as society. General health and well being seems to be one of those factors we're not optimizing well for.
Not sure how fair to newcomers (as in languages) this requirement is.

F.ex. when coding in Erlang/Elixir I can use an excellent bridging library between their VM and Rust. There's also an excellent support for working with C libraries. Not sure what else can be expected.

Maybe I am not reading you correctly and I apologise if so. It just kind of sounded like "the newer languages must be compatible with 20+ different ABI standards if they want us the older programmers working in C/C++ to adopt them"?

Back on the original topic, I completely understand if a project has too much baggage and sunk cost so as to make even a partial migration (and hardening via using memory-safe languages and/or professional paid code analysis tools) unrealistic.
