I agree with the central thrust of what you're saying here; its definitely easier now than it has ever been, and things are now moving towards the simplicity of how it used to be when creating desktop apps using web tech with the advantage that they're cross platform.

However this improvement is in spite of using a tool designed for a different medium, rather than because of it, and the years and abstractions its taken to get here express this.

Having said that, cross platform is better going from web to desktop than the other way round.
These sorts of debates are silly. "Gravity's Rainbow" deserved the Pulitzer. Even the Pulitzer committee thought so. Yet it didn't get it.

While I don't think the selloff is over, the bull case for American equities (I assume you are talking about U.S. stock market) is still quite strong:

- Emerging markets, Japan, and Euro also being hit by the virus. Where else will capital flow?

- International bond markets selling off as credit risks rise removes bonds as the traditional flight to safety (US Gov Bonds being the notable exception).

- Strong US dollar vs. other world currencies gives international capital extra safety when parked in U.S. stocks.

- Large-cap U.S. equities such as those in the S&P 500 can generally weather short-term liquidity shocks like this, and if anything they will grow by absorbing the market share of failing small businesses.

In 2008 gdp declined by ~2% and the stock market fell 50%.

The downright dreadful forecasts coming in about 2020 GDP double digit declines seem to me to warrant a larger decline in equities.

I think a lot of folks think this will be a sharp V recovery, but I'm not so sure. I'm already seeing knock-on effects in the real world. People in tech being laid off; (formerly) rich folks cutting way back on planned spending; entire projects canceled, etc.

> I enjoy writing, but I'm not fantastic at it.

> I don't communicate very well verbally

That's not something to let lay where it is. This is not good. You need to change it.

Communicating verbally and in writing is essential to moving to where you want to be. Wherever that is.

So, improve your communication skills. That's the most important thing here.

Thankfully there's tons of classes you can take and they're easy to find.
How many humans can pass this test? How is defined the correct answer?
This is likely to support dial-in over the telephone network.

I think "no password" is the bigger issue, because repeated attempts with incorrect passwords can be rate-limited. Zoom should be generating a random 6-digit password for each meeting by default.

There may be use cases for not having any password, but that should be explicitly opt-in and have a warning message to every participant that anyone can join and broadcast in this meeting.
These are the kinds of what-if questions that scare people into using the most popular framework-- well, what if security isn't as good? What if it's not properly cached? What if the rewrite is hard? What a load of bologna.
If you aren't doing any of that for the Aeropress (which you "should") I'm not sure why you think you need to do the same for a pourover. You can just experiment and eyeball it like you do for the Aeropress
> I foresee many small businesses won't be around by then

And I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to hit some mid-size businesses as well. A lot of places are getting hit hard right now, and that just flows up the chain. My company hasn't announced any layoffs or cashflow problems, but I can do the math -- most of our customers are relatively small businesses. Pretty quickly their problem becomes our problem.

I would love to do something in this space and would love to know if anybody has ideas for or examples of a sustainable, scalable corporate structure that is less susceptible to these antipatterns and isn't focused on an exit.

It's anybody's guess at this point. Most people at r/wallstreetbets on Reddit are saying three things: 1) "it was priced in", meaning that somehow investors already expected this to happen, 2) the Fed is propping up the market with unlimited QE (Quantitative Easing), which means they are printing trillions of dollars to buy up a lot of bonds to create liquidity, and 3) today's rally is driven by oil prices surging because of Trump's tweet saying Saudi Arabia and Russia will cut down production to help stabilize the market.

They are also kind of shocked that stocks are not plummeting and saying the market is rigged. Seems like a lot of people have been buying PUT options expecting the market to crash soon.
You appear to also realise that if it's a closed source client then the server could be fine, the client could do all the snooping and pass data in a side channel. It's worth spelling that out IMO.
It has nothing to do with nationalism. I'd be perfectly happy to see a, for example, Canadian, Japanese, or South African company doing well because their governments don't systemically murder dissenters and commit genocide. Every nation has room for improvement, but the people of China are being dominated by a group that anyone with a shred of morality ought to be very wary of.

Yes. If you're in a conference room and it's not a Zoom Room(tm), or has a Cisco system, or whatever, you have to use the conference phone. You might be able to tell the Zoom meeting host to call the conference phone and bring it into the meeting, but it'd be easier just to type the ID in (unless it was really 128 char, but then that'd give people a reason to buy new conference hardware I guess).

Also if you don't want to install the Zoom client, you can just dial in from your cell phone or desk phone.
Zoom is pretty lucky to get so much free security scrutiny. I hope they make the most of it and fix all of these issues..
Yes, this pdf shows how much health insurance costs per month for a person in the state of New Jersey (a higher cost of living state, but not far off New York/California):

https://www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_insurance/ihcseh/ihcra...

The metal levels indicate what portion of your expected healthcare costs the insurance is expected to pay. Bronze is 60%, Silver is 70%, Gold is 80%. At the bottom you will see age rating, so you have to multiply that factor with the premium to get the premium at your age.

For example, if you purchase bronze coverage (lets say $250) as a 50 year old in NJ, the factor is 1.78 times $250 = $445 per month divided by 0.6 due to it being bronze = $742 per month is your expected healthcare expenses.

Obviously this is not per month, but becomes more accurate amortized over ones' lifetime, as you might go with zero healthcare expenses for years and then get hit with $10,000 easily.

Bottom line is eat right, exercise, and either be poor enough to get taxpayer paid healthcare or be rich enough to not care about spending ~$20k per year per couple in their 50s on health insurance premiums plus have ~$30k or so ready for out of pocket costs in case of emergency. If something happens to you at the end of December, the out of pocket will reset Jan 1, so you need to have two years worth of out of pocket costs, and at around $13k or so, I ballpark it at $30k.

If I'm in the middle 30% to 80% wealth band of the US, I would plan on killing myself if my prognosis was poor to avoid draining the family's wealth.

I'm not sure presicely what you are ranting against. I mean it doesn't seem unlikely that an aircraft has a strict maintenance schedule right? You haven't even suggested that you don't think this is the case. You certainly haven't provided any sources suggesting that it isn't the case.

This isn't Wikipedia. We don't demand citations for every comment. From memory this isn't the first time an aircraft has suffered from similar issues where it needs to be restarted. It generally doesn't matter because they have to have their internal databases updated with changes to navaids, radio frequencies, airport closures etc.

Here is an example from a completely different aircraft from a different manufacturer:

> I highly doubt, if they even had a dedicated "security team"

I can only agree, from what I have seen on previous security vulnerabilities it often seemed to fall either into straight out negligence or intentional ignorance because it's easier "that way".

I believe security had never and will never bee a top priority for zoom. At least while they can get away with it, which they currently seem to be able to do.

Also I have seen it more then once that a Team originally had good intentions into making good secure software (but not necessarily enough expertise) but due to frequent changes in priorities or wrong time estimates they end up with a software which "works" but internally is broken with a promise from management that if they produce something like that soon then they will get to fix security issues in a view month. But then they never get that time and shitty security becomes the norm. Following that people with security expertise get demotivated and move on (either literally by changing the job or metaphorically by just accepting writing not so secure software).
How to Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 (Beta)

The inverted method is needlessly complex. Use the unit normally. Fill it with coffee and water. Insert the plunger but don't press down. It makes a seal, and the seal prevents coffee from dripping out. It's like holding your finger over a straw. Sure, a few drips might make it through, but probably you will be able to trap 95% of the brew.
Are G-suite even in the same league as O365? I have no numbers and might be incredibly biased by location but I feel that all the "boring" office companies in Europe has moved towards Office 365 as a natural step.

That is of course not true and I'm sure there are plenty of G-suite companies but for the large ones it seems very common that they have just followed Microsoft into the cloud.
One would assume that airlines requiring a bailout are financially marginal, and unable to survive without nationalization, while airlines not requiring a bailout would be in a financial position to weather the temporary black swan event causing the need for bailouts in the first place (for example American Airlines might require a bailout, but Southwest likely will not).

If every airline needs a bailout, you might have to evaluate a program of greater scale; injecting cash directly into every airline in a coordinated effort, but taking equity and putting in place governance (with a board seat or more than one) in those needing the bailout. Those who won't accept such terms would be permitted to fail.

My apologies it's not a binary answer, and more "it depends."
If hiring is so easy, why does everyone complain about how hard it is to hire someone competent? Employers inflict on the candidate two rounds of phone screening, a take-home project, two rounds of on-site interviews, psychometric testing, augury from flight of birds, augury from feeding of chickens, a haruspicium, diversity statement and inquiry from the I-ching, and despite all these measures they still complain how hard it is to hire a decent programmer.
i'm sure the reason for that is the UX.
the zoom had a reputation of "just works" and part of it was that is so easy to jump in to a meeting.

1. You say like aircrafts are being manufactured by laymen. Despite all recent problems with Boeing, it's not the case.
2. Running a battery of formal proof tests is expensive and way more complicated than running a unit test suite for software.
3. Probably more complexity is required to solve this issue, and where is more complexity there, there might be more risk.

I'm not saying that this is even acceptable or a great trade-off, but the way you worded your comment is presumptuous.
I suppose you think Olga Tokarczuk or Svetlana Alexievich are more popular with millennials?

David Foster Wallace and Harold Bloom both have called Delillo one of the greatest living authors. I and quite a few other people I know in my age range (mid-20s) have enjoyed him without sensing his work is irrelevant to our demographic. Even his denser works like Underworld read like a 'pageturner' relative to his contemporaries like Pynchon or even Wallace. Let alone other writers in the canon like Dostoyevsky.

My criticism would honestly be that his writing is overly stylized and lacking in nuance. He inherits the hyperbolic, poetic quality of McCarthy but often applies it to the mundane and the result sometimes feels overwrought and overdramatized vs realistic. Zero K specifically felt like a fan fiction version of William Gibson's non sci-fi stuff like Zero History. And most of what he is trying to convey he just says outright in a 3rd person omniscient voice.

I actually think he is very culturally relevant and influential but I sense that if you were to evaluate his writing through the lens of academic comparative literature like the Nobel Prize committee (not the standard literature should be held to imo) it would fall short of most other laureats, Bob Dylan notwithstanding
The name makes sense, though they have a very explicit definition of violent which is laid out at the beginning of the book. (Which I suspect very few commenting here have read.) The definition is that, by only acknowledging your own needs, you are attempting to persuade others to meet your needs and disregard their own. It's violent in the way that telling someone "you're worthless" is violent -- it's the implicit message in that attempted persuasion. "You're worthless; let's talk about what I need." This is why it has such a strong focus on everyone stating their needs, and working towards common solutions.

I wonder how many days before you hit 51 is the cutoff where planes need to be grounded - obviously a continuous 51 day flight can't happen without a lot of fancy stuff going on that doesn't apply to the 787, but let's say you're at 49.2 days and considering a .6 day flight, is that allowed or is .2 days within the expected probable variance of your flight time? What if it's closer?

You claimed there is a safety issue on "use after free" for empty types which are trivial. I am still waiting to see the proof.

You also keep saying there is no way to fix in C++, you can most definitely make those into compilation errors. And that is if you insist on advancing several states and calling them "stateN" is useful, which I have never done in my life.

Then the last paragraph is another flamebait plus getting into arguments of authority.
I would send that person home and just accept that things will not get done as quickly or find additional resource from somewhere else.

That is because people don't think about things objectively which they should be doing. But I am an objectivist so I suppose I am biased.

TLDR: With 17 digits meeting password is not needed at all. If meeting will be 17 numbers it will be the same as to protect 11 length digit number with 6 digit password. So basically that's the trade off. One could say that password is not the same as meeting ID, but usually they both sent in one email/message and lifetime and protection for them is equal. Also it's easier to input one number than 2 different.

Many UBI proposals include a heavier progressive income tax or a tax on wall street. Even if UBI is given to everyone, the income stream weighs heavier on the more wealthy (or at least those paying more in taxes). Money is commutative, you can't just look at UBI in a vacuum without also considering the proposed sources of income to pay for it.
The million dollar question is, will this be a 'V shaped recovery', a.k.a. 'pause' or will it turn into something worse. I hear a lot about companies with cash flow problems which may not survive the hit. Is that true? Beats me. It seems credit is cheap right now. What about long term though? For many industries, it takes a while to spin things back up and see cash flow. Will the economic mitigation measures be enough to see those companies through?

We may also be looking at permanent changes in behavior. Sure, there is a lot of pent up demand for getting out and socializing, but if people are being bled dry by meager stimulus checks, they're not going to rush to fill the restaurants and malls when this is over.
