Oh sure, enterprise CFOs love them. They love money too, and software companies who aren't Microsoft, Oracle, etc should be wary. Your entire company could be rendered irrelevant by a minor modification to a subscription offering that is critical. Why should I absorb a $7 user/month subscription for 100,000 people ($8.4M) forever when I can spend $500k upfront and 20% of that ongoing to hire someone to build a functional solution using O365, GSuite or Oracle whatever?

Look at Microsoft's behavior with O365. Many companies will be fully locked into Microsoft across voice, security and identity verticals based on tweaks to the O365/M365 licensing models. You need Azure AD to meet your email compliance requirements, but that's bundled with Intune, which in turn has a co-bundle with Defender ATP, etc.

> With regards to your point regarding a HN person on the internet. They’re on the internet, not in front of me, that’s a much bigger factor than if they’re a police officer or not.

The web context is our context though.

And there is a question about what policing is without enforcement. The reason why police can scare people with mere conversation is because they're not sure about the law in any situation. I presume that an attitude of "I know the law" is a dangerous play anywhere in the world with the police.

Are you using Shopify for the ecommerce sales? The URL patterns are similar if not the same so just wondering!

At this point not sure why you'd need to develop your own ecommerce platform. Most of the value seems to be in the relationship and partnerships, not the tech.

Selling to the privacy and security conscious is a quick way to bankruptcy. The vast majority of the participants don't want to pay for anything, insist on open source, are never satisfied and generally don't even know much, they're just paranoid and can't distinguish between good products and bad.
Perhaps, but the real question is whether the productivity increases of the younger/single workers will balance out the losses from the ones with families. I am personally at 50% of my normal capacity (possibly even less) given that I'm now in a home environment with constant distractions.

Additionally, add the lack of school/childcare, people forced to stay in their homes (distracting each other even more), financial stresses, and the like, and it's hard to imagine this is a net productivity gain for society right now.

I've been at a remote company for about 20 months now and am wanting to get back to a non-remote company. It was nice at first and my productivity WAS higher, but now I feel like a code monkey and don't have much connection with decision makers and don't feel as "plugged-in" to the company/team pulse.

My preference would be 60-80% remote.

At the same time, it's my understanding that New York is having such a large problem because many Italians flew in from Italy to that region. But I don't recall anyone calling that out at the time.
Because everyone else is only 20 days or so behind Italy.

As WHO experts say from their experience with Ebola and others, it's better to act early.

I see a lot of disbelief on this site too, it appears that exponential growth can fool even us.

Only 2 weeks ago I noticed people here saying that Trump must be doing something right in the US because the country hasn't gone to hell. I replied with "give it another week or two". And now the situation in New York is dire and everyone else is following, with the US poised to be the next epicenter.

What country are you from btw? Are you sure the population is properly tested? Given the lack of tests or expertise on the market I kind of doubt it.

This virus is dangerous because 75% or more of the infected population is close to asymptomatic, yet highly contagious. You might be having a lot more cases among you than you realize.

> Again, if we're talking about frequency (30GHz, 1THz) the brain is faster due to the way it's organized not because it operates at high frequencies.

Brain frequency is measured in single digit Hertz. Yep, it's much faster at many tasks due to the way it's organized.

> Not in any meaningful way and we certainly aren't anywhere near "single-atom processors".

We are, but it doesn't look like processor at all. Imagine that you have just two operations: match and propagate (copy). If input matches predefined pattern, then signal will propagate to next stage. If not, then signal will be lost. Such simple architecture can perform complex calculations with massive inputs and massive depth of processing area. If it implemented as optical flow, then it can process data at speed of light.
>Wayland by default prevents applications from accessing other application display, input and output,

So it breaks the entire linux philosophy of using input and output streams to pipe data between different modular applications?

>This might have been fine in the past, but is not really OK any more

Says who? Personally I like my computer being able to access other things on my computer. It kind of makes it more useful that way. The ability for applications on linux to fairly seamlessly work together using a set of standard protocols is one of the primary reasons I use it.
Aka, grain of salt. Well, at least there are only a few places they could be socking away the money.
It certainly has a weird janky feel for how it integrates with the system.

My wife sent me a link to join a meeting for testing. Normally when you have a link and want to have a desktop app use it there's some protocol handler that's registered with the app.

Nope - you click the link, it downloads what appears to be an on-the-fly generated exe that talks to desktop zoom.

I get the "remove all friction" sentiment but it feels so off compared to any other web/desktop stack of technology.
I don't think one can deny the climate. It exists.

> IMO it's highly person and situation specific

Yeah, I wish this was more normal to aim for, "It depends". Everyone is always trying to come up with a silver bullet that works for everything, and once they find something that works for them, they try to shove it down everyone's throat.

Same happened when "open floor offices" gained popularity, the cargo culting began and now you're a bad company unless you have a open floor office. Same is happening with remote work.

As someone who mostly does frontend, I need to be able to work tightly with product and design teams, to communicate and ask questions during implementation.

But back when I did backend work, I could mostly just receive requirements from product and frontend team, spend time in isolation to fulfill those requirements and my work was done (most of the time at least, not always).
These farm workers live in bunk houses basically and are trucked in on school buses. Most of them are migrant laborers or undocumented immigrants.

Those conditions are not safe.
Strawberry pickers typically work very close to one another with hundreds in the same area of a field at once, with lots of trucks as central points to put the fruit, etc.

Workers also typically live on caravans near/on the fields in very cramped quarters to save commute time/cost.

That could easily be changed to a more distributed method with per-worker wheelbarrows or backpacks, but presumably that would decrease throughput and increase costs.
I would think out of every job in a supply chain field workers would be some of the best protected by default. Not (often) working in air-recircuculated environments, many already wear face masks and gloves, less crowded than warehouses, working in the sun and often more humid environments.

The big issues I think would be sick pay (mentioned), or migrating workers who travel very far, including across borders.
how are you getting desktop audio (music or whatever) to get sent to your meetings? I didn't see how to expose the audio output from obs as a "microphone" or whatever to video conferencing software. I ended up hacking my setup together with voicemeeter but it's pretty sloppy and error prone.

Sure, I don't get to make your parenting decisions for you. I don't want to make them for you. Much better to leave that to the parent (and the government, for when the parent fails). However, I can criticize certain decisions as abusive. That's what I'm doing, and it's not targeted at you as much as it is the decision. It's an abusive action.

While someone may not be able to change how someone parents, they can definitely say that something they're doing is abusive.
32 characters might be safe, but we could make the same argument for 16 characters, yet there is a huge vulnerability there: Someone might have a perfectly secure series of words as a password, but only the first three words survive truncation. Now they can be brute-forced easily.

It's bad form in general to truncate a password.
we need to start firing administrators who issue these orders.
Covid-19 can't be helping things but oversimplifying Venezulea geopolitical situation as "a poorly run government" ignores the fact that there are multiple state-level actors (internally and externally) working against their best interests.
They have to go through testing and certification, only then it can be used. But keeping finger crossed. A low cost ventilator can be godsend in other third world countries.
Social distancing may already be working to slow coronavirus spread
The comparison to road deaths is flawed logic. We are not all forced to travel against our will - we travel because it adds massive economic benefits to our GDP.

What benefit does the Covid-19 epidemic confer that you can compare it to road travel?
Makes you wonder what was Apple thinking when they designed this security feature? Any app can spoof a system-looking dialog and ask for the password. Not sure about about a better way tho.

Fixed. Thank you for letting me know.
As a German, I consider Kleist one of my favorite authors. If Goethe’s writing represents the language at its most beautiful, Kleist’s German is a German that is allowed to follow its natural tendencies to the bitter end: as the article puts it, it is a “dispassionate accounting”, but it is extremely powerful. When I read the scene in which Michael Kohlhaas and his men storm the bad guy’s castle for the first time, I felt like I was in a Tarantino movie. I highly recommend watching his plays if you can, although I can’t judge any translations. I had the good fortune of seeing Johan Simons’ production of Penthesilea, which, being a two-person show, follows the play only loosely, but it was incredible.

Oh awesome. I was hoping for a python library leveraging it, and that brings in some useful features to boot.
My understanding is that a lot of their in-store employees are at-will and part time, and largely not covered by the unions... of course companies and states will vary.
The company that I work for(DockYard) is totally distributed and fully remote, so my productivity stayed about the same since the lockdown in California was put in place. But a friend of mine who works for a big media company, whose bosses were pretty hesitant to let their employees work remotely, says that their superiors have noticed that productivity is actually up and are now very much open to remote positions now that they've witnessed the benefits. A few weeks ago, the answer probably would have been that employees could only work from home a few days out of the week. Now the answer is that employees can be totally remote. For the average business, that's a pretty big change of tune.

That said, I don't know if remote work necessarily boosts productivity across the board. Some people prefer to work in an office with other people around, and they probably work better that way. I do think that remote work can and does compete with a traditional work environment in terms of productivity.

We need more remote work to be available if we are going to reduce traffic, pollution, and urban congestion. Remote work allows people more free time during the day, reduces risk of injury and death, allows people to be better parents, and means you can live anywhere you want to. I don't ever want to work a non-remote job ever again if I can avoid it.
I think the argument is that it's possible for a kid browsing to, in a succession of clicks, go from (for example) a surfing website to something they really shouldn't be looking at. These clicks may be naive curiosity on the part of the kid, rather than intentional seeking.

Some of this porny drift would be encouraged by affiliate links and ads. Our society is broken in many ways - who could disagree? - and this tendency is one of them.

One of my burdens as a parent is to provide a counter to this porny drift, and to the other broken aspects of our society for that matter.
> When you are alone at home, self-isolated, without any co-workers around you to take your focus away, your productivity will skyrocket.

Not necessarily, not all developer roles are created equally. Some need a tight feedback loop and some developers need to be around other humans in order to fulfill their social needs in general. Especially regarding the self-isolation part, which feels great if you're coming from a place where you're getting constantly distracted by other people, but after a while you're starting to feel lonely and disconnected unless you spend time with your co-workers and the stake holders of whatever you're working on.

Again, it depends on the situation, person and the overall context.
I bet it's close to 0%, and I think I can prove it too. How much do you want to bet?
BTW: The WSJ is running a "2 Months for $1/month, cancel anytime offer". With all the news happening, it's worth to pay the $1 for two months, and set a reminder in your calendar for May 31st to cancel the subscription so you don't get billed the normal rate on June 1st.
Shitting on people pointing out concerns with/exploits in zoom appears to be this week's low latency path to more upvotes no matter how serious the claim is.

Every zoom post I've read here has at least one highly-upvoted comment about "hey everyone lay off zoom". Why? Why should we give a company that millions are now using for the first time a break? Why should we ignore issues with software that tons of people are now using and potentially opening themselves up to danger?

I use zoom, I used to before the pandemic and I've used it with friends since multiple times. I'm not some anti-zoom, burn it all down type. That said I think issues with it warrant a discussion and there is a reason these things are upvoted: because millions of people are now using it and are unaware of the risk they are taking.

Hi, I'm Raghav. I am a generalist engineer, with a deep appreciation for Product and Business.

There is no technology I am not willing to get my hands dirty with. As long as the problem is interesting (or important), I am up for solving it.

In my current role, I have been leading a team of half a dozen excellent people and we are working on niche SDR applications. I am looking for a fresh challenge. If you have a role for me that requires both solving an engineering problem and looking at the big picture, I'm your guy.
Today I've learned that elastography is a field of medical imaging that focuses on the stiffness or softness of tissues.

I might want to learn even more about it because I always have problems with my tissues and doctors fail to help me.
