I've been fending this off in my own organization for a few weeks now. Not that our current answer is any better really, at least not as attacked for the moment. The marketing folks keep pointing out how our competition uses it and that we need to advertise it - they can't seem to understand that we cannot use Zoom and that we don't need to advertise the product that we use but just the capabilities we offer.
That is absolutely not an information security norm. Most security mistakes fall into common patterns.

Are any of the participants using Firefox by chance? There are known issues being worked out ¹, some in collaboration with Firefox itself ², to improve performance and compatibility.

For now, it seems the best audio/video quality can be achieved by all participants using a Chromium-based browser such as Chrome and Edge.

> If you want stop participating in the rat race, the only accepted way to do that is to have acquired enough money to retire. You can't just go find an unused plot of land to exist on.

I mean this is only "modernity" if you talk about modernity going back thousands of years. People have staked out land for millennia (and people who wanted land would have to kill the people on the land to take their land).

To add a little context about ASTM; lightly edited from their Wikipedia page[1]:

"ASTM International ... is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services."

They're providing easier access to documents including test methods to evaluate face mask efficacy (ASTM F2101-19, ASTM F2299).

Can anyone speak to the security models of say MS Teams and Slack? Personally, I really like MS Teams, and Slack is probably my second choice.

I'm working with teams that are using both of these tools nearly daily.

I was on a Zoom meeting earlier today, and imho it was horrible by comparison... constantly cutting out and blurry. I don't get the popularity.
On the one hand, this sounds cool.

On the other hand ... my understanding is the U.S. took so much land through violence and lying, and often with some rhetoric about how the native people that didn't farm or settle and live on specific parcels weren't "civilized". There was an assumption that Americans establishing farms and towns and whatever was inherently superior to the way Native Americans occupied the land they had been on since time literally immemorial.

So it's cool, it's kinda bad-ass what she's doing. But isn't it also fucked up? Isn't it deeply hypocritical to occupy land that was taken from people in part using the justification that the way they lived wasn't civil or modern or productive enough, and then try to live on it in a "wild" way?

I don't know anything about the specifics of the history of interactions of the tribes of the Okanagan area, where Twisp is. But I'm guessing that their inheritance didn't give them the freedom to choose how they wanted to live, or how they wanted to relate to a changing world. And I'm disappointed that absolutely none of that is even mentioned in passing in this article.

I think your starting point is already flawed. Scale is needed for high value liquidity events which is needed for ROI to investors and employees compensated with equity.

If you realign the goal to return maximum value to your employees as soon as possible, then you can align incentives to maximize the creation and growth of markets to sustainably capture value and give it to the people that made it possible.

So just don't take VC money and build a company to give back to your employees as much as possible as soon as possible and do it without competing directly in any existing market or trying to take existing market share. Sounds tough.
Interesting that it's still Electron. Considering they rebuilt their iOS app recently (which from what I hear, is now much better - I don't use FB personally)... why not Catalyst?
DNA is literally only instructions for building proteins (each 'gene' commonly encodes one protein). It's a very low level code, then.

The various proteins that are built are actually interacting with the environment.

So, your desire to look at interaction with the environment might be better captured by a field other than genetics: maybe proteomics or molecular biochemistry.

Interesting. I've not watched the movie but I disagree with the inventor on the type of coffee he tries to make with the Aeropress.

From what I recall he tries to make a more "espresso" style coffee and then dilute it. I prefer to just go 15g coffee to 250g of water for a single normal cup. No dilution.

She lives like someone in the Stone Age, it’s a metaphor. You’ve heard of those, right? They are a way of saying a thing by saying something that is not literally true - she does not have a time machine, or if she does she has been very good at concealing it - but in an interesting way that conveys the essential point the writer would like to make.
Yes, landing pages are places where you can use static HTML, CSS, and JS. However, React (and similar frameworks) might still be better, especially with a landing page with multiple parts. This is because React combines two different paradigms, one of creation and one of distribution.

In creation, React breaks up large parts into smaller components. In distribution, it renders them at runtime, not build time (with a standard create-react-app app). However, there is no reason to have both at once. Components make the page easy to reason about, and they can be used to compile a site at build time, as Svelte does. React also has its own libraries for this, like Gatsby and Next JS. You do say that the landing pages have low volume but they can certainly grow to encompass a larger amount of things, such as multiple feature pages or a blog, so I'd rather not rewrite everything later on.

You could also use Web Components but they don't have as much support and are generally not as good as React (one can disagree of course), so I like to use React + Gatsby to build the pages at compile time and use them without any Javascript whatsoever [0] but still have the developer experience of creating a page via components.

Maybe naive, but why doesnt Zooom do something like SSO? Why is the identity of attendees not validated? Wouldn't that solve the problem?
This is how someone under unreasonable pressure behaves. Withholding support because of his erratic swearing and hip fire assumptions is going to perpetuate a sinking ship. Your reaction depends on having authority over him and will not fix disorganised companies.

This guy needs reassurance that his boat isn’t going to be rocked anymore as it stabilises. It’s a great key to the health of the company that all the business analytics in the world and discussions about feelings can’t see.

You are behaving in a predatory manner expecting him to submit rather than solving problems. It’s petty.
That's right. There's a problem which I referred to as the toothpaste problem - you can squeeze the needed branchiness around but you can't make it go away entirely (at least, I couldn't).

There used to be 4 stages (stage 1 was the marks, stage 2 was bits-to-indexes, stage 3 was the tape construction and stage 4 was the 'clean everything up and do all the hard stuff'). It's possible - though awkward - to do tape construction branchlessly, but the gyrations required were expensive and weird and it just delayed the reckoning.

I built a prototype of the 'gather all the X at once and handle it in one go' and the logic to gather that stuff was more expensive than just handling everything.

In my wacky world of branch free coding (which I've been doing a while) there are worse things than missing a branch. The idea that you can accumulate an array branchlessly (i.e. always put the thing you have in a location somewhere and bump a pointer when you need to) seems pretty cool, but branch miss is not the only hazard. This technique of branchlessly writing a log is a anti-pattern I've tried over and over again and a stream of unpredictable writes is just as big a pain as a bunch of unpredictable branches - it causes the pipeline to come to a screaming halt. If you can get it going somehow (new SIMD tricks? better algorithm?) I'd be impressed.

The W3C was conceived from the outset for corporations. It even has the word consortium in its name. Personal membership was added much later.

It's actual normal for Standards Organizations to look like this. If anything by their standards the W3C is very liberal. ISO's members are UN member states for example. Want a delegation to ISO to disagree with how an ISO standard works? Create a sovereign entity, seize control over an appreciable amount of the world and force other sovereign entities to accept you as an equal or you can't. The SI units are controlled by Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures which only has countries as members - some countries don't even get full membership. Don't like the kilogram? Unless you are literally a country too bad.

The IETF is the far outlier, it might even question whether it is indeed a Standards Organization at all. After all it doesn't have any members, (the Internet Society has members but the IETF does not) and so perhaps its "standards" are only "standard" the way English is standard: a bunch of loose conventions, some honoured more consistently than others. Nobody pretends there's a "Standards Organization" for English after all.
You could learn to pick better frameworks. I can’t remember the last time I dealt with a framework bug in react and I’m working on multiple teams on about two dozen web apps. And that’s without including other jobs.

It sounds like you’re not really working on apps frameworks like react are supposed to deal with, (7 files of typescript) so why do you care?
F.A.S.T Mask
Hi HN!

There have been a lot of news stories about PPE shortages for medical personal around the world, especially when it comes to masks, shields, and eye protection. I've even heard stories about people having to use the same N95 masks for days on end. I am not really sure how much this will help. I had an idea that I built over the weekend after reading about the death of 26 year old Dr. Usama Riaz, which was a result of treating people with Covid-19 despite not having any form or PPE. I thought there must be a cheaper solution where his face could have been covered, and some solution for using a filter that could be easily sanitized and reused. It's heartbreaking that such a selfless person had to die so young. Perhaps if I could have gotten this out there sooner, as it would have been better than the nothing Dr. Riaz was using.

His story inspired me to design something I call the Filter Adapted Snorkel Tube (F.A.S.T) Mask. I am by no means a an expert in the medical device space, but rather just a nerd with 3D printer, ideas a plenty, some talents, and time to spare. The design objectives I hoped to achieve for this project were:

1. Protect users' entire face.
2. Keep the filter as isolated and clean as possible. (No facial oil contamination and mitigate direct body fluid exposure.)
3. No tooling required. KISS!
4. Easy sterilization.
5. Reusability.
6. Parts must be easily acquirable globally.
7. Provide a consistent seal between the filter and filter holder.

I'd love any feedback and/or improvement suggestions. I have some other ideas I've been kicking around like adding a HEPA filter mod, since there seems to be an abundance of HEPA filters available that can filter at 0.3 microns. I actually ordered one off Amazon today, and I should be able to have a proof of concept ready by Sunday or Monday.

Here's a link to the project:

Presumably you mean with the Aeropress?

I've tried it, it makes a difference but there's still a distinct Americano sort of 'hit'. Aeropress is the closest thing to espresso short of a maker, and for an affogado it's peerless, but that's the only way I tend to take a shot of coffee at home.

Also using a Porlex these days and the pourover is much more forgiving of a rougher grind. Pulling a decent Areo shot means I have the nut tight enough that the grind takes half again as long.
Aligned incentives (we help you grow and succeed, we share the reward) has also come up in interviews and discussions as one of Stripe's greatest strengths.
Most of the complexity comes from state management and tracking data dependencies, not dom manipulation.

If you like keeping things light this library gives you a lot of bang for the buck:

It's similar to how pub/sub works but it does the topological sort that prevents data with diamond shaped dependencies from being triggered twice, in less than 500bytes minified (before zipping).

> you don't need a certificate since your mutual knowledge of the shared key is sufficient

How would you do that? The API's I've seen for TLS all require the use of certificates.
... and yes, agreed that Daniel has done a great job making this into a real thing. This would have stayed a bunch of code sketches if I had been the only one working on it. In terms of quality, the project now is well on the way to being commercial quality code rather than the research prototype that I did. I understand I have you to thank for that as well!
Biophys grad student here. If I'm understanding your frustration correctly, you're basically saying: "yes for the 1000th time, I KNOW DNA is the recipe book, but who is the chef?" Well, I'm sorry to report that there are a lot of chefs. And to make things worse, every cell is different, so there are also a lot of restaurants. For this reason, it is not possible to make a book on any of the topics you listed above without skimming.

The solution to this is narrow your scope: is there a particular subtopic that interests you?
If you are talking about Python 2 vs 3, think of them as two separate languages where Python 3 can often use a lot of the libraries developed for Python 2. That makes it all make a lot more sense. Even with that, there was maybe a dozen times in the past 8 years, which is how long I’ve been writing Python code full time, where I felt a problem with the 2 vs 3 thing. They were all quickly resolved. This is unlike Node where things like file access change from version to version, and sometimes shit just doesn’t compile because gyp is of the incorrect version, etc. Node is very high maintenance.
Agreed with P that the dirty part is Amazon trying to smear an entire labor movement by focusing on this organizer. Ironically the strategy has completely backfired.

Agreed with GP that the other parts of the memo about obtaining and distributing masks don’t sound so bad at all, especially if they actually translate it into safer environments at warehouses and surrounding communities.

In general, I wish companies who want to avoid unions just treated their workers well enough that they don’t want to unionize — seems like the most straight up way to “fight” unions. It’s akin to simply improving your product to get more users instead of employing dark patterns or grey hat SEO.

> Zoom does not release numbers

Zoom released some numbers a couple of days ago:

“To put this growth in context, as of the end of December last year, the maximum number of daily meeting participants, both free and paid, conducted on Zoom was approximately 10 million. In March this year, we reached more than 200 million daily meeting participants, both free and paid.”

The core device is typically on the order of $50-$150 US, but with many of the sensors that CO2meter sells, you're also getting a microcontroller, display, power supply, etc. You'll frequently find temperature and humidity sensors and also barometric pressure sensors rolled into that, since NDIR is affected by all those things.

So the price of a good, fully realized NDIR CO2 meter is comparable with any low-volume, moderate precision, moderate complexity electronic device.

Word choice works best, assuming the source is textual; simple alternation of synonyms gives 2^n unique versions in the number of replacement candidates, and it's not hard to automate. You ideally want to take measures to reduce the likelihood of a given recipient seeing anyone else's copy and thus having a chance to spot the variance, but there are ways to do that and in most cases it's not all that likely in the first place.

On the other hand, news outlets that receive leaks are typically well aware of these techniques and will act to frustrate them. When you see a leak reported on but not directly published, that's why. If you want to evaluate veracity, a good method is to look at any response made by the source. In this case, it's legit; if it weren't, the Amazon GC would say so. He's not going to lie in a way that discovery will make
immediately obvious in any case that comes of this, so he made the world's worst excuse instead. The surprise is that he let himself be reached for comment at all - between that and the "yeah, I sure did goof it, huh?" style of what he said when he was, I wouldn't be too astonished to see a golden handshake eventuate in the fullness of time.

> their governments don't systemically murder dissenters and commit genocide.

Which people has china committed genocide against? Don't say uyghurs as it would be an insult to the native americans, jews, armenians, etc who actually experienced real genocide.

> but the people of China are being dominated by a group that anyone with a shred of morality ought to be very wary of.

Dominated by a group that liberated china from brutal european, japanese and american colonizers? Dominated by a group that lifted 800 million chinese out of poverty?

If the chinese people don't want the chinese government, there is nothing the chinese government can do. Perhaps, just perhaps, the chinese government has done a lot of good as well? That's why they are able to maintain power? Maybe?

And if we are talking about morality, you haven't listed a single government that has morality.

Darwin also suffered from chronic health problems for his entire adult life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin

"For over forty years Darwin suffered intermittently from various combinations of symptoms such as: malaise, vertigo, dizziness, muscle spasms and tremors, vomiting, cramps and colics, bloating and nocturnal intestinal gas, headaches, alterations of vision, severe tiredness, nervous exhaustion, dyspnea, skin problems such as blisters all over the scalp and eczema, crying, anxiety, sensation of impending death and loss of consciousness, fainting, tachycardia, insomnia, tinnitus, and depression."

The time integral of his suffering must be enormous. I'm a little horrified that a man so famous can suffer so much, and yet almost no one knows about it. They remember him for his achievements; but the countless days he spent in pain are forgotten.
