Nothing is going to be "based" on "sound" data in this case. This is the first time we're experiencing an event like this. To get "sound" data you need to do massive, multi-year studies for which we do not have the luxury of time.

So we'll have to just go ahead and cargo cult what e.g. Korea did for now. As other spots where response was successful appear, we should cargo cult that, too. And try out every promising drug whether Trump endorsed it or not.
It's part of the strategy of the far left to help push the Democratic Party further left by vilifying anything and everything associated with its party's center.

You are far too eager to use this as an excuse to shit on Trump.

I'm not remarking in the incompetence and/or maliciousness of Trump and his administration. I'm pointing out that it's a failure across the board.

But you clearly are unable to look at things objectively. Again, I'm not here to flame about the president. Everyone screwed up. Tens of thousands of people with power failed to act. Including Democrats. That was my while point. Stop with the partisan politics, they have no place here.

That’s pretty annoying as a user honestly, websockets are difficult enough to deal with.
It doesn't make sense to encrypt the traffic differently for the individual users, since you would need to send multiple copies of the stream if the server can't do it (which is also a big downside of all the P2P solutions). It's not smart design for large-scale video chat.

A shared key or different keys per sender (which I don't think adds anything, but I might be missing something) both do not require the server to decrypt/reencrypt, and thus fairly sure that's what they are doing if this is anywhere close to accurate.

It's amazing but a pretty tough intro to Pynchon. If you're going to read him I would recommend "The Crying of Lot 49" (a fun short novel) or "Slow Learner" (A set of short stories). "Inherent Vice" would maybe be a fun one to start with too.

It's not for everyone in any case. One of my best friends jokes about the fact that every time I say I like a book, for a while she would buy it, read a chapter, hate it and not read any more.

It is true that other systems can be bad. This does not make our current economic system less bad and the blood sacrifices to the stock market less insane.

This completely matches my experience. I've worked on a 200k+ line javascript codebase that originally used just vanilla HTML DOM management and jQuery for everything, and I've helped introduce React into it over the years.

Every time the old code needed to place a view inside of another view, it was a fresh adventure in the exact way that sort of extremely common routine operation shouldn't be. Understanding a module always meant understanding its approach to managing its DOM elements before you even got to its business logic. Modules often chose between having simple-but-janky code that re-created DOM elements from scratch every time anything in the view changed, or having more-efficient-but-complex-and-buggy code that intelligently updated only the changed elements but often had inconsistencies with the first-render code causing some values to not work if they got set while the view was already mounted. People tried to establish some conventions across a few modules, but the chosen conventions often had significant drawbacks or only worked in specific cases because the people making the conventions didn't have the experience of library/framework authors.

I remember working with a coworker sketching out an idea of a convention we could develop and use for updating text and substituting in translations and live values. One of my main goals was to allow our modules to have the same code for the first-render and subsequent renders without having to replace all the module's elements with new ones. It was originally intended for just updating text, but I started to realize it would have to handle arbitrary HTML and embedding views from other modules to really be useful. The idea felt like it would need special cases to handle that, and I couldn't get the idea further. Then I later found React, and I realized it was a generalized approach to accomplish exactly what we were trying to design. I got the green light to use it in a few new modules, and even coworkers who weren't yet familiar with React could see how the modules were much more focused on the actual business logic rather than being absolutely filled with so much unique DOM-manipulation code. Everyone was sold on it within a few months, and people that needed to make changes to old modules would often choose to move the code over to React first to make it simpler to work on.
Carney stanning for a company trying to frame a black labor organizer with the “not articulate” dog whistle does enough of that work by itself. I don’t think they need any help from the “far left.”

In Workbench 1.3, the device was named "RAM:" (EDIT: I'm wrong). Not sure if that changed in later versions of the OS, but 1.3 was as far as I got with the 1000. And yeah, I guess I didn't "create" it so much as "use it as the boot disk".

It was gone on power-cycle, but it persisted through so-called warm reboots. (CTRL+𝔸+𝗔, I think?)
Not because they said the organizer isn't eloquent or smart, but because Amazon wants to make this person the face of the movement.

They're trying to make the whole movement look dumb by proxy, or that anyone who joined the movement is dumb because they're following a dumb guy. The public PR angle is that only a dumb stupid babbling person would deny the goodness that Amazon does for its employees and try to organize a walkout.

I think it's interesting the contrast with the SVP who said he let his emotions got the better of him. If the union guy says something not-smart, he's dumb and the whole movement is dumb. If the SVP says something not-smart, he was just trying to protect the workers.

Good analysis and I can only agree.

I'm a HN user who regularly looks for patterns like connected accounts, weird upvote or comment behaviour in /newest, fake news, bots and reports those to the moderators.

Until today I haven't known about Tailscale, or not conciously remember the brand name. Every past article listed I would've probably upvoted. It fits with the HN audience, just like Docker, ElasticSearch, Cloudflare, gitlab or most polished SaaS companies targetting developers when they release a new major feature. There will always be a commercial/marketing component when companies release something, even more when a founder or employee answers questions in comments. Doesn't mean there's some kind of secret community who upvote each other. Or rather if there was the moderators, once notified, would've found and acted on that.
Yeah navigation is slow or timing out on my repos.
not to mention, that while encryption is cheaper than it was, it still isn't free. And managing certificates and CRLs, while much easier than it used to be is still not trivial, especially on an internal network or localhost.

> The U.S. government delayed doing so for fear of making the stock market go down

I suspect it is more that the leadership in the White House is simply incompetent. If they believed the threat was real it doesn't take more than a few days to dump your stocks and then take action, not months.

I don't really buy that narrative.

As for mobilizing to produce a thing, I'm not sure that's a thing anyone is automatically good at. The history of nations trying to mobilize to do a thing that isn't their core competency is one of high efficiency and costs.
Cool, thanks for sharing. I'll check it out once github is back up :-)

Maven isn't as good as bundler or npm for sure, but it's better than the mess that is the python communities solution.
a manager that understands Is also "an employee who communicates effectively" and the someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet cycle continues. If that's not what I want (and I am wont to want it), then non-violent communication is a method I can use to try and escape the loop along with my antagonist. The cycle is easy and my default. Non-violent communication tends not to be what I want to do in the moment. I don't really like seeing myself as a virtue-ninny either. Pretenseing as a winner strokes the part of my ego that's used to be stroked. Your milage may vary. For me, non-violent communication looks like a channel for personal growth. I'm already really good at being an asshole from long practice and innate talent. Good luck.

Phoenix + Ecto has been the best web framework experience I've ever encountered. I have experience with Django, Flask, Express and Rails. I'm a huge fan of Elixir as a language and the BEAM runtime. The libraries have been pretty great too.

I agree that templating could use a more forward-looking approach as a first-class concept (something like https://github.com/github/view_component).
Past experience is that meta posts about how the hiring threads should be organized, what the posts should say, how companies should comport themselves, etc., tend to take over the thread if allowed to, so we treat them as off topic.
> You think all people have essentially the same fundamental capacity to reason? And all that differs from person to person is information, experience and knowledge?

I think that decision making is a skill. And like all skills, having those things will improve it. It's also a very difficult skill to judge, because value systems range so broadly. Just because it doesn't look like a "reasonable" choice to you -- which is pretty much defined by "the set of things I would have picked" -- doesn't mean that it wasn't for that person. For instance, I would not care to inject myself with unknown-to-myself drugs, because I'm naturally risk adverse and don't have a need compelling enough to take the risks I associate with such an action. But I also acknowledge that others have different aversions and needs than myself.

> Wrong, _you_ think it's a good source of information. I don't.

OK. Is it because you don't trust their methods? Or their implementation? Regardless, I agree that this seems to be the end of the conversation. If it's the former, than that's a irreparable disconnect in our ideologies. If it's the latter, then I'm undereducated and won't attempt to discuss.

Do keep in mind that I'm separating the FDA's evaluations from things that hinge on that evaluation. The FDA could still be doing its thing, even if drugs could be sold without their approval. (Though they would certainly not get the level of cooperation that they currently enjoy.)

So to be clear, you believe there is a massive run on hydroxychloroquine because Trump mentioned it in a sentence or two as having promise in a press conference, and now thousands and thousands of patients are strong-arming their physicians into giving them prescriptions for it?

Even if that wasn't a ridiculous stretch and was actually happening, that's on the shitty doctors, not the president.

Well, those of us trying to warn people as early as January were met with not only disbelief, but generally ridicule.

This pandemic is a cultural failure. Humans in developed nations have gotten too comfortable and too dependent on their government. No general anticipation of severe disaster. We need to move the pendulum a couple notches back toward individualism, and I think that's going to happen naturally if we're about to experience Great Depression 2.0.

I suspect there's also an aspect of thinking by the company's management that control equals power and leads to profit. Clearly not fully thought through though.
I also don't know what I'm talking about, but I think one of the core responsibilities of a trademark owner is that you establish a history of defending it. I heard once that if you don't do that you risk losing control of your rights to that property. Any smarty pants on here able to confirm/set me straight?
> Having AI in your DNA isn’t just a buzzword anymore

I haven't read or seen anything that suggests this, including in this article. If this article is suggesting that all companies have to use AI/ML to survive then that's wrong IMO.

AI/ML is great for a certain subset of problems but I don't think textual inter-human communication is one of them and there are a lot others where AI/ML will not be a silver bullet.
>In a country with a functioning government and economy, the entire nation would mobilize and respond to the health crisis intelligently and with the advice of health experts.

That's got little to do with government or economy but rather with culture. South Korea and Japan reacted decently well due to a collectivist culture. Countries with more independence driven cultures did less well as everyone went out for themselves.
The even easier explanation is that it's the one thing you don't ever want to run out of.
>It's 1985 all over again

i think it is even earlier than that:

>Each Zoom conference call is assigned a Meeting ID that consists of 9 to 11 digits.

8 char passwd and 16 digit credit cards came way before 1985.

Never mind, i have committed in memory our daily scrum 9 digit pin code :) Very convenient. And if somebody else were to dial in uninvited into our scrum ... well, it is at their own peril as it carries (especially for a person not hardened by a long tenure at a BigCo) the risk of brain damage, loss of ability to perceive reality as it is, spontaneous suicidal desire, etc.
Ehh, I think Humvee saw a company making a truckload of money and felt they had a right to some of it given that they own a major vehicle that's used in the game. I could easily see an ego-maniacal CEO or founder getting pissed that he's not getting paid for something he feels entitled to.

Maybe they're seeing how pro athletes are licensing their likeness to games and thought they could make a compelling argument for why they should too. Whatever the reason, I also agree with outcome of the suit.
Right, I think the article glances on that the trigger was a panic, but that it’s continued might not be.

However the article mentions bananas as a similar thing that the commercial versions aren’t what people want at stores... it doesn’t explain why toilet paper is one of the only major non-virus related items.

Isopropyl and peroxide are unavailable, but those are obviously virus related.

So if the author is right, why aren’t we seeing of items face the toilet paper shortage, unless the answer is at least partially hording?
I think I'm officially bored of the "Slack is a problem" threads.

Just spent time in a dev org where 500+ members of a technical team used email, Teams & Slack. However you want to slice it, there are organizational habits of a department that large, and nothing deep in a licensed product stack is likely to fix/influence how a big dept runs itself.

They superficially used all the enterprise tools at their disposal, because relying on implementations complicated enough to need documentation wouldn't live long in a big org that had lots of turnover (how's your Sharepoint doing?).

Said team had people at all levels who were unreachable in any way, except when you slacked them. You disrupted them, told them they'd ignored an email that you really needed a response to, and they gave you what you needed. Slack fixed the "I'm ignoring my inbox and I have 40K unread emails in there" problem that feels typical in enterprises.

Teams worked to connect tech and non-tech business units. It helped to keep business teams off Slack.

Slack was noisy for the ops team.

How Slack is supposed to "fix" disorganized, i-don't-care-about-management principles of big departments is beyond me.

The flip side: the business thrived, everyone worked pretty sane house, and the paychecks arrived every other week without fail.

There was a lot to complain about, but no one ever complained about Slack (or even Teams).
We would be out of deer the first week.
I too went straight to HN upon realizing this

Grocery stores are still restocking really frequently as people have shifted from eating out to eating and cooking at home. Everyone is also learning to make bread and/or bake at the moment, because I haven't seen flour or sugar in stock consistantly for a while.
Yes--why wouldn't they? Your call is going through their network fully--this isn't a broker situation where their router connects the 2 endpoints directly.
The most common explanation I see for this kind of behavior is that companies have to show that they actively defend their trademarks, which means being indiscriminate against trademark violations.
Also Trump's (and other leaders around the world) initial downplaying of the pandemic risks paved the way for extreme measures like the employment of pervasive surveillance. Looks like someone isn't letting this crisis go to waste.
Ah, those domesticated horses seem to be helping quite a bit.
> At least, not until AI gets much, much better than it is today.

One could extend LDA (a common topic model) to include people, by modeling topics as mixtures of people (which they kinda are), and any given comment is generated by a mixture of topics. If anyone is missing, pull them in; if it's the wrong topic channel, move the thread over etc.

I'm not saying it'd be compelling but it's possible
