Those sites already exist. They're often more convenient than getting media from the author. Paying for media is already a voluntary donation. I really don't think legalizing noncommercial infringement will change the status quo much except to even further incentivize copyright holders to modernize by making the need to do so even more obvious.
Zoom has been around for a while, it didn't just spring up when COVID-19 hit.

Which part of the GDPR do you think would have significantly delayed development?
"The other side" criticized Trump for what he said. They did not impugn the potential of chloroquine. This issue is only, "What did the president say and should he have said it".

No responsible person should offer unproven medical advice IN ANY WAY. And no medical professional should do so unless they have multiple reliables sources to support their advice.

Trump failed on both of these points. If chloroquine turns out to fail, he'll surely promote more possible treatments again and again, thereby whittling away public trust and hope, over and over. That's terrible leadership, and rightly merits criticism from everyone who gives a damn, not just "the other side".

Corporations don't do it because they can get capitally more cheaply.

retropie runs fine on some arm platforms. you can also use lakka. However the latest retroarch is 1.8.5, while the 1.3.6 version is from 2016, I would imagine nothing would work on Stretch, so I recommend an upgrade or any OS that isn't debian. If in doubt, gentoo always works, though its source based.

I would argue that its being peer-reviewed as we speak. The typical peer-review process involves having other experts review the paper, for free, before publication. One small silver lining of this pandemic is the urgency has caused the scientific model to shift towards preprints, which are rapidly disseminated among the scientific community via places like Twitter and Reddit, and notable papers end up getting vetted by many, many more experts much more quickly than they would via the traditional process. I've already seen many flawed papers quickly debunked and shot down, and others quickly floated to the top of the discussion, via experts commenting on Twitter and elsewhere.

I wonder if after all this is over, if our methods of modern science are changed forever, or if we just revert to where we were before.

It can and has been done. Have a look at "Connectix Virtual Game Station"[1]. It's a commercial prodcut that played virtually every PS1 game flawlessly on a 233MHx iMac. I spent thousands of hours playing games on that thing, and glitches were very rare in a huge range of games, even the most demanding like Metal Gear Solid.

Jobs even demoed it on stage.

(1) OP said big pharma wants to downplay HCQ because it doesnt make them as much money.

(2) reply says that the fact that pharma donated millions of doses contradicts that

(3) OP counters that pharma is donating millions of doses because it gives them an epic tax write-off

it has nothing to do with donations being bad. it has to do with the fact that pharma is always doing whats best for them, and if its also best for patients that's a happy coincidence, but they frequently act in opposite of whats best for patients (e.g. price gouging on insulin, in this case possibly downplaying the efficacy of a cheap drug HCQ), and that's something we should notice and call out

1. HN is not "an informed audience", it's literally the public. And it's common for software developers to mistake themselves for domain experts on any domain but they aren't.

2. It's not an informed audience if misinformation is not challenged, it's a misinformed audience.

3. The flu is a bad parallel. The flu, while annually killing lots of people, does not overwhelm hospitals like a novel virus does. At best it makes people think this is like swine flu, while it has quickly shown to be nothing like swine flu.

When you say clinical trial, what are you meaning? I think the usual definition would include this paper as a clinical trial. Do you mean the FDA hasn't overseen any clinical trials?

Also, why don't you believe the data? or is it the conclusions that the researchers draw from the data that you don't believe? The statistics and trial design in this paper seem to be sound.

People were also contageous only when they started showing symptoms, but COV-2 is contageous in the pre-symptomatic phase.
I've said this before - I really love the concept but I can't get past the pricing. I don't think I'm cheap, but I work in a startup and have to justify what I spend, and USD$10/user/month is very steep for the hard-to-explain benefit of doing away with jump servers. I already use Wireguard, I have a script to add users, update configs and bounce the servers.. it's not as cool and automatic and "zero trust" but it also doesn't cost hundreds of dollars per month to access my own servers I'm already paying for!

GSuite is easy to justify for me. Github is. JIRA is. Tailscale is more expensive than all of them and it's hard for me to make the case, even to myself, that it's worth it.

I'd like to ask Tailscale to think about alternative pricing models of maybe $20/month per admin account, which comes with 10 bundled "member" accounts or similar. That would get me to $40 or $60 a month, which I can stomach. But I won't pay $300+/month to save myself a little bit of inconvenience every few weeks so my devs can securely log into our servers.
Surprisingly former Eastern Bloc countries are doing quite well thanks to early lockdowns. I think it's largely due to people not trusting public health systems.

GP is agreeing with you. The phrase "perfect is the enemy of good" is a criticism of striving for perfection when you could be doing other good stuff in the meanwhile.

That is, perfect (waiting for super accurate tests, etc) is the enemy of good (testing temperatures, wearing basic masks now).

It's very unlikely most business interruption insurance policies would cover a pandemic. I'm sure there are many small businesses who think they've planned for this situation whose insurance claims will be immediately denied.

A DOM node's attributes are strongly typed, but it is an object and you can still set Node.foo = barObject if you're so inclined. Not saying it's not without it's tradeoffs, but if you want state housed in the DOM rather than another state manager it's not hard to conceptualize.

Amazon has sponsored a picking challenge for a few years now, but I'm not aware of this level of automation being deployed in production. The last I saw, a Kiva robot would bring a shelf of items to a human picker, who transferred an item from a bin to a box.

That’s fine however it doesn’t bode with the original assertion that it’s downplayed HCQ if anything it somewhat sensationalized it.

I have no problems believing that BigPharma does what is good for BigPharma in this case getting good PR, a tax write off and having their most valuable customers as in those with chronic conditions which means pretty much most people once they hit 50-60 to stay alive so they can sell their patented drugs to their insurers and HMOs is a much more believable strategy than some conspiracy that BigPharma is downplaying HCQ because they can’t make money on it.
Why not just make it part of income tax?

Circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence (2015)
When my boss asks me "How are you feeling?", that feels weird. I don't know this person very well, so it's odd that they would ask me how I feel, out of the blue. But then I realize it feels weird because I'm cynical; I don't expect people that I don't know well to care about my feelings. So in some ways, the NVC framework is like "level 2" of developing empathy, whereas "level 1" should really involve developing trust and close connections.

Aside from that, this quote seems problematic:

"Creating a place where people can be vulnerable without fear of abuse is critical for any form of conflict resolution. Vulnerability is the source of connection."

Connections happen through development of trust, and trust makes you vulnerable, but vulnerability wasn't the source of the connection, it was incidental. If anything, the workplace encourages us to develop trust as well as verification, as a part of quality assurance.

By verifying the quality of work, we can trust in it, and thus others. This doesn't result in connections, but it can reduce conflicts, by focusing one's attention on a process rather than a person. So it's not "stupid Frank's fault that the build broke", it's "our SDLC is not developed enough yet to ensure that the build doesn't break". This isn't exactly NVC, but it is another tool one can use to redirect a conflict towards a resolution.

I also loved these books as a kid. A while ago I started making a game - BASIC Instincts - that was going to be about type-in listings and modifying your world with code (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwBiJR_rj_w)

I got the interpreter working and started creating the world... then the game Else Heart.Break() came out and took the wind out of my sails - it did what I was planning to do, only much better. Though it might be time to revisit it now!
One of the issues here is that the examples don't add any accessibility hints at all. We really should be encouraging people to add as many as possible!
The connectors appear in the participant list - this is a pretty common architecture for all kinds of communications bridging solutions. When someone joins a meeting by phone, Zoom spins up a service that 'assumes the identity' of that phone user to join the meeting (incl. negotiating keys). So, the Zoom service is now a participant in the meeting, but you do know that since a user appears in the participant list.

I have no special insight into how Zoom implements it, that's just how this is normally implemented in a number of other situations (e.g. h.323 bridges).

NVC (I prefer "Compassionate Communication") is not a complete conflict resolution framework. It is a communication strategy that is designed to help people turn on their innate compassion. It doesn't have a clear answer on what you do when people don't agree to requests. As a professional mediator, I find that it can work well for some types of conflict if I bolt on a problem solving step at the end.

I find Compassionate Communication useful for resolving:

1. Relationship Conflicts, which are caused by:
Strong emotions, Faulty communication, Misperceptions, Recurring negative behavior

2. Identity Conflicts, Which are caused by:
Negative comments or actions relative to personal or group identity (gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc.)

3. Value Conflicts, which are caused by:
Different ways of life, Ideology and religion, Different criteria for evaluating ideas or behavior

In a startup context, I think that there are two more common types of conflict that lend themselves to an interests-based negotiation (or Principled Negotiation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_to_Yes ) approach:

1. Interest Conflicts are caused by perceived or actual competitive:
Substantive interests, Procedural interests, Psychological interests

2. Structural Conflicts are caused by:
Faulty or deficient organizational structures, Unequal power and authority, Time constraints, Geographic, physical, or environmental factors that hinder cooperation

I don't recommend relying on a blog post to address substantive conflict.
awesome, i bookmarked it and will keep an eye out, love the idea!

Does this call out to google services by default? I stopped paying attention after they rejected MicroG.
(I work at Quill.) Everything in Quill is a thread -- which is quite a big shift from an IRC-like firehose (even with optional threading.) We've found the shift to have threading by default creates a behavior where you opt into just the conversations you care about, and don't have to skim through hundreds of messages to find what's relevant (or, say, replies to an earlier conversation.)

May be hard to get across the _feel_ of using a product in screenshots -- we're ramping up our invites (making sure things scale + features work as expected!) but we'll be fully open quite soon! :) (and, we might be slightly partial to dense UIs!)
Did you offer health insurance? Again COBRA costs will easily take that extra $277 per week or more if you have a family. This situation is limited, it only applies to the few states with good unemployment compensation, if the person is a minimum wage worker and also if that someone didn’t have insurance, doesn’t opt for cobra (or has been picking up a separate plan through the ACA exchanges) and/or its just coverage for themselves for cobra then they might come out ahead. This extra money lasts until July and that’s it.

I’m guessing some people might rethink it when they see the costs of cobra and the fact that the sooner they hit the unemployment compensation the sooner they start the clock of limited benefits. If they need it for more than 6 months or whatever the state allows the max to be then they’re going to regret not first going for being furloughed. Unfortunately people also aren’t rational or forward thinking.

The way they did unemployment insurance certainly isn’t perfect in the stimulus bill. But I don’t think it’s all that problematic.

Think about how silly that sounds - the MSM would need to coordinate their work, on a grand scale, to repeat the same messages about Trump and his people. They would have to coordinate their "fake news" (i.e. stuff that's critical of Trump) to all refer to the same facts. Seems like a lot of work to coordinate a destructive effort against the president AND keep it up over the last 3.5 years...

Wait, I thought Telegram was worse than that - Zoom does (what appears to be) end-to-end encryption if you have four native Zoom clients in a meeting. Telegram doesn't do end-to-end if you have four Telegram clients in a group chat, right?

I think that's unfortunately a climate that arose as a reaction to the sustained appalling behavior by FAANG and wannabe-FAANG cowboys.

When you have a handful of tech companies who systematically, unashamedly and deliberately abuse people's trust and privacy, it ruins the landscape for everyone. As it stands today, our trust has been betrayed so many times that a default assumption that the other actor is malicious and will do the wrong thing is almost always correct.

It's a shame, but this seems to be the case for every industry that is consumed by greed, and almost as a rule, every successful industry will eventually be consumed by greed. It's a local minimum that our society in it's current form cannot seem to avoid.
I've actually been collecting the Usbourne books for the past couple years! For my research on providing typing exercises to CS students, I like to use the books as a physical prop to point out how "this was how they used to do it" [1]. This is actually one of the issues in modern CS learning resources - it's too easy for novices to simply copy and paste the code, so they never really refine the mistakes made from simple syntax errors. By forcing students to retype code, you are making them more comfortable with the keyboard and they don't have to worry about juggling technical literacy with problem-solving skills.

Based on what we know (not much) it's equally likely that their actual security experts completely understood the current situation, but marketing or high-level C-suite people came up with all of this.

I can completely picture the conversation between security engineers and marketing about whether they can use the term "End-to-end encryption" because I've had very similar conversations before about (mis)use of technical terminology.

How far do you go if you're unable to convince them to change the terms? What if you escalate all the way up to the CEO and they don't agree.. then what? Do you refuse to leave the CEO's office until they concede? Quit your job in protest? (What do you suppose that would accomplish?)
