Yes, I was agreeing that it isn't dumping since it's a different product since the services are lower priority than more expensive ones. But it's not explicitly stated, which now that I think about it, should be a required disclosure.

And this is the shitty part, nurses have to choose between their own safety and that of their coworkers/patients. I am extremely worried for some close friends of mine who are nurses and have either preexisting conditions or are older. Those administrators can either get on the floor with the same lack of PPE or STFU in my opinion, it's downright criminal what they are saying and I hope when this is over they will be held to account.

Do you think any finite amount of time, no matter how long, will eventually seem too short? Even if you live a gazillion years, eventually you will reach the end, and you will yearn for immortality all over again. The only real solution is real immortality.
All the hard bullets are already handled by existing math (codecs), protocols/libraries (reliable networking), operating systems (hardware support), etc., no?

This is not to say it is easy at all, of course; there a thousand things to do to implement it, but I think other fields face similar constraints, like videogame engines and distributed simulations.
That's not just working from home if so, that's reassigning an industry from face to face to virtual, and if history is any guide a lot of teachers may lose their jobs as well as secondary jobs becoming lost too. Sort of a pyrrhic victory.
With strawberries, you'd think that the retail market price is already pretty close to the price that yields maximum profits.

However, the wholesale price may be far lower than that, because of oligopsony.

Thank you for doing that! I'm using ManyCam for now (also Canadian) since it seems to be one of the only other mac apps that does camera switching easily right now. But, I'd much rather use OBS. Thanks again.

PS: I was going to build a shopify app a few years ago but I've got so many projects on the go. If you're interested in the short domain, let me know: shpfy.com
For anyone else who comes here, I discovered that you can in fact change the scrolling speed, it's just buried in the Accessibility menu. Raising it a notch or two seems to have maybe fixed the problem? It's certainly less painful. Hard to say whether it's exactly the same as before; it's a very subjective thing.

Edit: It doesn't fix the problem, it just helps a little with dealing with it. They must've changed the inertia algorithm; things feel much "heavier" now. Really upsetting, as scrolling on Macbooks used to be exquisite.
The issue I see now is that some areas are locking down when there is no curve to be flattened. This is likely causing more harm than not, because hospitals are sitting empty waiting for when people will inevitably get sick.
Voice controls are nice. Except when you get a sore throat. I'm not talking about disabled people, people with funny accents (everybody speaks English of course and if they don't, they at least speak one of the five other languages we proudly support) and people with non-standard timbre of voice, also.
Well, what do you expect from China? They are not exactly known to value human rights and safety of their workers...
> short term discount to break into a market niche?

Dumping generally related to international trade and describes selling at a loss to drive off competition [1].

It is not clear T-Mobile is selling the plan at a loss. And it has no hope of driving AT&T or Verizon out of the wireless market. This is plain old discounting, not dumping.

> As the owner/maintainer of a service, I want to be in control and know that my user's credentials are secure - there may even be legal obligations here in some countries.

The code doing the client-side hashing is just as secure as the rest of the client interface. You don't compromise anything by doing it.

Still, it's easier to do the extra hash locally on the server if you need it.
I think the problem is that no real clear cut method for deciding on duplication vs abstraction exists or could exist.

It takes a human to look at the context and decide if duplicating or abstracting is the right answer.
I randomly learned OBS a while ago for doing some twitch streams in the evenings. I'm so glad I did.

I run a 6,000 people company during the day and have OBS setup to push into Google Meet. I've done townhall with live on-screen Q/A voting, hosted podcast discussions, done PIP product reviews. I use its video record feature to react to figma prototypes and post the MP4s in the respective channel for discussion.

OBS is an amazing tool and its worth learning. Even simple things like adding a compressor to an audio stream can make a huge difference to the quality. As one of our coaches recently said "Video quality is the new presence in 1:1s".

On windows its reasonably easy to output OBS to a virtual camera for video conferencing software through a plugin. I've posted a bounty of $10k recently to make this a native feature and it's getting lots of traction.

Yeah, for this particular issue I don't think there's anything holding them back except the lack of demand. Especially OpenBSD, which isn't very deferential to ABI compatibility.

Even on Linux opening tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of file descriptors is exceptionally rare. For example, a couple of weeks ago I helped someone diagnose an issue with Vault which was hitting the soft descriptor resource limit. Vault apparently had no support for increasing this limit internally, neither implicitly nor explicitly (e.g. config or command-line).

When I write massively concurrent applications I always increase this to the hard limit on startup (and maybe increase the hard limit if started as root, especially for a commercial product) because it's such an obvious problem which I've encountered frequently, and no support engineer or sysadmin should to be woken up at 2AM, nor users thwarted for hours or days, because of such a stupid issue, no matter that the solution is trivial (e.g. setting LimitNOFILE in the systemd unit file). So what this tells me is that despite being written in an easily scalable network programming language environment (i.e. Go), few Vault installations actually see several thousands of concurrent connections, including at Vault itself. It's a QoI issue, so if it was common I couldn't fathom an engineer not increasing the soft limit if not the hard limit on startup; and if the engineer balked out of some misplaced principle[1], surely the project or product manager would overrule them.

[1] They might argue that good security practice demands obeying the inherited soft limit. But 1) almost no deployer will think about the limit, let alone the soft limit; 2) even assuming a knowledgable sysadmin, it's still not a very good excuse for not increasing it to the hard limit; and 3) a low limit makes it trivial to accidentally DoS a service.
I understand the need to preserve masks and respirators for medical personnel, but did the talking point earlier really need to be they provide no benefit? It feels like now the population has been taught to not wear masks and it’ll be an uphill battle to reverse that.

It’s not a good idea to trust a single large organization with your data, even if they make claims to privacy. It’s even worse to let them control what get censored and what gets through.

If you care about privacy, I recommend running your own resolver with Unbound, and block ads/tracking/malware/adult content etc. using Pi-Hole.

It does provide protection to the wearer, if everyone does it. If all the people around them are wearing them and one of those people is infected, the wearer is less likely to catch it.

Trying to fit it into a altruistic or selfish category is a false dichotomy. The same for obeying stay at home orders. Just because a benefit is indirect (herd immunity benefit of universal vaccination, reducing r0 in a population from behavioral changes) doesn't mean it's not a benefit.
I really recommend clicking through and watching the referenced embedded video that forms the basis for this article. It's very well done and much more substantive than this summary.

> We are, but

But we aren't really are we?

>> we just either haven't actually found a way to do some of those things, or at least not in a feasible, useful way.

We have a lot of theoretical concepts, we might even have the technology to build something like this. But we just haven't put it all together, and building this into a useful product is far into the future. My cold fusion powered portable true quantum computer says so. :)
There are far too many unknown, and indeed unknowable variables, for a cost-benefit analysis, even if it were politically acceptable.

There are broadly three options the US has

1) Total lockdown

2) Sporadic geographic lockdowns of various intenstiy

3) Do nothing

Factors we don't know include how behavior would change even without top down pressures (i.e. doing nothing will still damage economic output), and how long lockdowns can last before protests, riots, and full on civil war, how effective a lockdown would be, what pressure there will be on healthcare providers in each scenario (including say healthcare workers refusing to treat patients)

While our higher brains knows that as a society we are unwilling to spend $1 billion to extend someone's life by 2 days, when it comes to this sort of magnitude there are other considerations than financial benefits, indeed the entire situation brings questions of what is the value of money anyway. When we say we're willing to spend $150k to extend a life by a year, what does that actually mean?
The parent comment was about the healthcare system right? As a lot of that wouldn’t happen in a lot of countries so I assumed it was.
What is your basis for this? Why would a judge agree to a blanket suspension of copyright enforcement because of a pandemic?
Agree to the annoying practical situations for the distributions. Unfortunately, a structural Linux problem. Is not that the old Firefox problem. They need to protect brand and reputation and cannot trust downstream packages.

Disagree with chrome comparison. Chrome adds tons of feature packages which are blobs or heavily proprietary stuff. VS Code does nothing of that. They add config settings and icons.

In regards of the open source built: Microsoft does that with .NET and it seems a pain. I mean, what is an open source build? A package different for 20 distributions with each 5 versions. Or a build script (which I hope they have :))
Anecdotal, but all the healthcare workers I know (both nurses and doctors) entered their professions because they have a genuine desire to help people and save lives, so I don't think they'd be willing to endanger their jobs right now when they know their continued employment could be a matter of life or death for their patients.

> That hasn't been the case in my use of Skype, for instance.

You have misread his point. He's not saying that users expect to see their contacts on their "first load". He's saying they expect to see their contacts after adding them.

Skype does fulfill that expectation, by keeping metadata about your contact list on their servers. Signal fulfills that expectation without keeping the metadata, by deferring to your phone's (local) contact system.
In central Kansas, gas prices are totally plummeting.
Agreed. It's kind of fascinating that they said masks had "no benefit" but claimed that medical professionals had a dire need for masks.

Speculation here, but I think if everyone had worn face coverings (i.e. scarves or even masks) early on, we wouldn't have as many cases in the US today. Combined with social distancing, we could have even possibly flattened the curve.

And are you going to buy a different brand of laptop because the steel that made the springs in the power connector was recycled in a grimy workshop in Ukraine by a 6 year old child?

It turns out policing entire supply chains by consumers isn't viable. Either enforce regulations, or do nothing. The middle ground of trying to shame companies into doing 'good' things just leaves uneven playing fields for companies without a public face to shame.
Cloth can still provide some protection. A mask made from a cotton blend t-shirt can be ~70% effective at filtering a virus from droplets in the air. (See this study: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258525804_Testing_t...)

I've made this "single-serving site" to share with friends and family who aren't convinced yet: https://shouldiwearafacemask.com/
Now that this has happened, does it open the door for publishers to sue individuals who access and download these books? Similar to what happened with the recording industry?
It feels like OBS has been here forever but I remember the days when I had to use Camtasia. The software was actually surprisingly good and easy to use but for the amount you were paying, it wasn't worth it, not to mention the proprietary recording format wasn't doing it much good.
