Other iOS methods that may also be useful (as a general FYI):

If you're just looking to share your iOS device to Zoom or other meeting apps, you can long-press the Control Center "Screen Recording" icon to select which app to direct your screen sharing to.

If you'd like your iOS/tvOS device to be shown in a window on your desktop using only native iOS/tvOS/macOS tools, you can plug it into a macOS computer and use Quicktime Player > File > New Movie Recording and then select the iOS/tvOS device from the dropdown to the right of the Record button — no need to start recording — and it'll give you a live low-latency view of the iOS device.

Alto’s Odyssey story
Very misleading title. Boeing is simply complying with the stay-at-home order in South Carolina, where they are building the 787. When Tesla was deemed "essential" and continued building cars, people lamented. Now Boeing is doing the right thing and stops building airplanes, which are clearly non-essential.
You're right, I stand corrected. Thanks for the links.
Yeah, selling labor makes sense if you're short on jobs. If your order pipeline is full it makes more sense to sell marked-up parts and use less labor.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, starting with the public outcry from Airbnb hosts who have had their bookings cancelled.

And then, Cheesecake Factory announced it would not pay April 1 rent on any of its locations.

The economic fallout of this situation is something we will all bear the brunt of. Landlords are not shielded from it. I'm not saying everyone should stop paying rent, but the fact of the matter is, if people and businesses are not making money for months on end, many of them will have no choice but to stop paying.

It is unconscionable that someone thought to turn this into a blacklist which many of the unlucky millions who have recently lost their jobs will end up on.
That's an odd comment to be downvoted over.
> Alcohol and depression aren't a good mix.

Again my point, obviously I don't believe this to be true, but since it does have a positive success rate (there's no study which quantifies this, strangely enough, your studies are purely epidemiological, you'd have to take someone without ASD and then prescribe them ethanol at about 20% to actually study this) it would be negligent, as per your theory/ethics, to not prescribe this, and in fact it was prescribed in the past during prohibition [1]. Now, looking back this is obviously false.

> People are working on it. Meanwhile, we have make the best of what we know right now.

Great! The best of what we know right now is simply diet & exercise, no pill can prevent the onset of depression.

I think you'll find the taxonomy of depression to be a subset of existing disease categories. The brain, gut, and nervous system are connected in a chaotic manner.

PS. I don't drink at all, zero alcohol. I agree that it's probably very much related to all existing depression categories, correlated positively.

> I am not so sure. Do you have to give consent for a bank to submit a charge-off report to the various credit bureaus in case of negative balance or other delinquency?

No, but you need to give permission for anyone to run a credit check on you. Literally no one can legally see that info without you giving them permission to do so. Whereas anyone can sign up for this service and see info about you.

Edit - also, banks won't give you a bad score as long as you keep paying the minimum on all your credit products. And in my experience, their willingness to give you a mortgage or extend credit has more to do with your income and assets than a credit score.
> Probably something worthy of looking into since many people have concerns about 5g.

Take flat earthers. Because many people believe it we should investigate - so people post evidence that the earth is round, the flat earthers reject that evidence and make the flat earth claim again. So do we keep investigating? The same number of people still believe. How many times around that wheel do we go? Do you believe that no one has honestly looked into the health effects of 5g? What evidence do you think it'll take for someone who believes radio waves are causing these effects, even though scientists have pictures of the virus, to have their mind changed?

This doesn't sound all that different from a regular credit rating.

As it relates to the financial troubles people are going through right now, while failing to pay April 1 rent is a data point, I think the uniqueness of the situation we're in will prove it not to be a particularly useful data point for landlords going forward.

Any landlord that overweights that in their decision-making around who to rent to is probably doing so to their own longterm detriment.
Sure, but to me, ALL human-invented notions are subject to interpretation and change over the times.

We had kingdoms, slaves, and eye-for-eye punishment before and we largely don't have those concepts today in the developed world.

The same is true for conflict-of-interest, fiduciary duty, and today's version of capitalism.

If I had said "we don't need slaves" 400 years ago, I would have been downvoted like crazy. And here I am, saying conflict-of-interest and fiduciary duty will be antiquated ideas, and I'm being downvoted here today. Let's have an open mind about the future, shall we? I'd rather in a community like this we put everything we blindly assume today on the table with an open mind and discuss how we can change or improve the system.

On a related note, AlphaGo is able to play against itself using a single CPU/GPU, and it gets better by doing so. Why can't a human play against itself and get better as well? Are we brainwashing ourselves into thinking we are unable to do that, and so we are not trying?

... and a list of books that I've read: https://benjamincongdon.me/books
I mean, they can create these lists all they want - but in the end, it's gonna be all noise. We're living in extraordinary times, and records like these do not work for their intended purpose: Singling out renters with history / patterns of delinquency.

In fact - If anything, landlords should buckle up and brace for the worst. Trying to get someone evicted right now isn't going to do sh!t. You'll spend MONTHS on the process, with probably no good replacement.

No, the best thing to do right now is to contact your tenants and bank(if they own your unit), and work out a plan that works for all parties. You're both deep in it, and there are no good ways out for the next 3-4 months, only the least terrible.

And I absolutely understand the frustration of fresh landlords that are mortgaged to their necks with their (maybe) only rental, but that's unfortunately how life is. Good times and bad times.

Comparative advantage was an often used debate point by Australian politicians. Unfortunately, only recently have studies on this topic started to mention that some countries exploit what is essentially slave labour, and that they have little regard for environmental consequences. I believe these studies strongly influence our public servants so it’s unfortunate that such important points have not being raised sooner by academics.

Higher worker costs, along with other reasons, means the Australian manufacturing industry could not compete in the international market. With import tariffs being steadily reduced since the 70s (from roughly 35% in 1970 to below 5% in 2016), the local industry could not compete against international competitors in the local markets either. Without these protections, all of our car manufacturers have shut down, for example.

So, we’re in a situation where the majority of our local manufacturing industry has evaporated. We are dependent on the industries of other countries.

This is only made possible by our abundance of in-demand and conveniently-located raw materials. Our exports are mostly oil (33%), unprocessed ores (29%) and uncut gems (7%) (other types of industries don’t come close, with meat next at 4%). This has supported our dollar and given us fifty years of paradise.

Clearly, this is not sustainable. Should our goods stop selling, our exporters will be in trouble, our dollar will drop, and our importers (everyone!) will be in trouble.

It shouldn’t be necessary, but I hope a silver lining of this recent crisis is that it provokes our politicians into fixing this absurd situation. I do not want to be dependent on the slave-driven & environmentally-damaging industries of other countries.

> "However, I think this also shows that large-scale government intervention in the economy is necessary in the current world."

you've drawn no line between "this" (or even clearly established what it is) and a necessity for "large-scale government intervention" (whatever those may be). state your goal, and then your rationale, rather than making a vague and dogmatic pronouncement.

and critique both the current (un-)free market dogma and blind large-scale government intervention, rather than trading one for the other. either extreme will lead to more (liberty-threatening) consolidation of power, not less.
I think you're just splitting hairs.

It's much easier, common, and not incorrect to say, "Company A does bad things" rather than "An important subset of the people at the head of Company A have enacted policies that caused bad things to happen."

Does compose really have to be single machine?

Yes, it focuses a lot on shared resources, but the negative space defined by where resources are not shared certainly informs any human-defined networking topology. I'm not so sure a tool couldn't make a pretty good stab at doing the same thing.
Right now most SFUs start up an ICE Agent [0] and listen to a random port. ICE is used to establish the connection between two peers. Basically both sides exchange a list of peers, and try to find the best path.

With an SFU you end up having thousands of remote peers each with their own port on your server. However you could easily listen on a single port and then handle the inbound packet depending on what the remote 3-tuple is (clients ip/port/protocol). Effectively you would just be running all your ICE Agents on one port, but doing one additional step of processing.

I need to fill out [1] more to fully explain the idea, but I think it could make a huge difference when making it easier to deploy WebRTC SFUs.

blacklist is bad yes I agree because it doesn't take situation in mind and current situation may not indicate anything about the renter in the future.

Landlords are in a slightly different boat than say the restaurant down the street. The restaurant isn't forced to provide services to anyone if they aren't getting paid, most places right now have basically blocked evictions (which is a good thing) and forcing landlords to keep people in place regardless if they get paid or not.

Many are turning this into a protest against rent and even if they have the means to pay are organizing rent strikes ... this is going to bite people in the butt this summer / fall when we are out of this mess.

My not so informed opinion is that once states of emergency are lifted if you didn't pay your rent your landlord can take you to the arbitration board in your area ... if you can prove you were out of work then you get X months to pay back your back rent (where X maybe equals 2x the number of months you missed rent) and if you can't prove you were out of work you have 30 days to pay your back rent or your out.
Not going to be noise for prospective tenants who are denied based on a missed payment, reported without context or mitigation. As usual, this is good news for the business end of the database+AI, screw you end of the stick for consumers who have no access to examine, dispute, or have deleted anything the company has collected.

Transparency again. And again. Companies need to be forced to disclose the column names in their DBs and justify publicly why they are keeping each piece of data.

You have to convey which algorithm, which takes bits. And at the very least you need a pointer to a file, which also takes bits. You’d do well to look for archives of alt.comp.compression.

There was also a classic thread that surfaced recently on HN about a compression challenge whereby someone tried to disengenuously attempt to compress a file of random data (uncompressable by definition) by splitting it on a character then deleting that character from each file. Was a simple algorithm, that appeared to require fewer bits to encode. The problem is, all this person did was shift the bits to the filesystem’s metadata, which is not obvious from the command line. The final encoding ended up taking more bits once you take said metadata into account.

If you are wondering why this discrepancy in behavior between platforms: This default behavior was initially changed to prevent a 16-years old bug in SeaMonkey, which was already fixed in Firefox since 2007. See following issues for more details:

* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190615

* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611162

Inertia I guess... happy to see this fixed upstream!

Conflict-of-interest is not rooted in the idea that the world is black-and-white.

It's the opposite. It's rooted in the idea that the world is shades of gray, and so the conflict-of-interest rules try to (a) eliminate situations where you would have to choose between conflicting sides, or (b) get permission from both sides to remain after advising them of the conflict.

Trying to turn this into some silly algorithmic calculation is a fundamental misunderstanding of what conflict of interest is or even that most conflicts are not objectively valuable terms that can be resolved numerically.
