You mention the ~10FPS performance.

It seems like moving all that data backwards and forwards between Python and Node might be a bottleneck, no?
I've recently been using StimulusJS [0] and found it to be a really nice mid-point between spaghetti and a heavier framework. It has conventions out of the box, it does things in a reasonably disciplined way then it disappears.

Coursera is great but you're going to miss a lot of opportunities by limiting yourself to just that platform.

For instance, it hasn't been widely advertised, but you can essentially take Steven Pinker's 2020 course at Harvard on Rationale: https://stevenpinker.com/classes/rationality-gened-1066

There's upwards of 20 hours of video on this course alone. You don't get that kind of depth from most Coursera MOOCs. Further, the syllabus helps narrow down a vast subject to a few months of effort and there is no better design for learning it.

Critical reasoning skills are essential! Why not learn from one of the great thinkers on the subject?

This course has the potential of ascending to the upper echelon of MOOCs. I really hope that the content doesn't get taken down. It doesn't seem downloadable..
I guessed that was the case for you, but I've seen the phrase used in a few other places and I have a feeling many are not as self-aware :-)
I would replace "awesome and smart" with "self promoting".

LinkedIn is a social network aimed at recruiters and job seekers. Of course there's a lot of posing on each side to get what they are looking for.
It is not possible to imprison 100% of criminals without imprisoning some innocent people by accident (or perhaps intent, as is the case in the USA today). What you are describing is a totalitarian society without the presumption of innocence.

I don't think the "well it wouldn't happen to me" delusion is strong enough for people to actively want that, no.
Our customers provide the certs. We can sort something out for Jitsi though. They are on the app store so they most likely already have a cert.
Remember that our generals will always fight the last battle. We will be well prepared for the next pandemic. But the next big thing probably won’t be a pandemic.
Microsoft Word does. It also has a good grammar engine that fixes many of the issues immediately.
The initial complaint was "can you just not do the restrictions in the first place?" which was ignored

It's asking them to do less work
The point of the article is that around the world very large amounts of loans have been denominated in US dollars, even in countries that don't use USD. That means there is always a constant and large demand for USD to repay those loans.

So outside of the US, no USD is not just a store of savings, it's a means of repaying debt. Hence why people want it and will accept it as a first preference over most other currencies when international transactions need to be made.
LinkedIn was always a social media thing, no matter the amount of connections.

It's just that some people simply decide to include in their network people who they don't even know if they exist at all.
Unless free actually means a cash allowance (which would be very generous), I don’t see how this would work. I’m certainly not gonna let someone else register and pay for an Apple Developer account on my behalf.
See, this is why it's lose-lose for the federal government. If they allow states to bid against each other for the same equipment, enriching shady middlemen and stockpilers, this is proof they've failed (see comment elsewhere in thread) - but if they seize those stockpiles and don't allow them to be sold at a massive markup to the highest bidder, they're actively intercepting medical supplies that states purchase to save their populations from dying. The American press has been loudly pushing both of these narratives at once.
No, it's actually a quite opposite - trivia test from the field of Competitive Programming.
The only reason I can think of it to avoid the extension installation, but then it goes on to use another extension for a function that's available in PostGIS, along with everything else.

So yeah maybe if you only need to store the data and don't need operations (why even bother then), otherwise just use postgis.
Okay, that’s more reasonable.
>There was no reason to create a tablet sized e-ink display

Of course there was; large-format publications like newspapers, magazines and technical documents. All requiring large display area and not needing fast refresh. But yet, all ignored by the manufacturers and so LCD tablets became the default for those despite their drawbacks.

>More than two billion face masks sourced from countries around the world including Australia were sent to China at the height of the coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan, according to official figures released by the Chinese customs service.

>Employees of Chinese state-owned companies were directed to purchase whatever they could find in the way of masks and protective clothing to send back home in a massive humanitarian effort.
> I e.g. constantly see people whose phone number I've already deleted appear on my Telegram contact list "X joined Telegram". Telegram knows I had the number at some point. This would never happen with Signal.

This literally happens with Signal. And it makes sense too, the message that Signal gets telling it someone is now on Signal is presumably the same one letting it know it can use encryption rather than SMS to talk to that person.
It looks like you need to find someone who can help make your post feel more professional - perhaps Ask HN for help or just directly email one of the clued up people here that are open to cold emails (patio11?).

I almost didn’t read it because the title sounds too generically woowoo, and the domain you are using seemed unprofessional. Then on reading the article, you didn’t give your background, an irrelevant picture of a painting opens the article, and the sidebar of your article topics are all over the shop. Sorry for being so negative: it is much easier to find reasons why something doesn’t feel right, and I’m not a fantastic marketer so I can’t offer you fixes I could predict would help.

It seems like a really good idea (are there others that have suggested it?), but I suspect it needs to be more convincing with a bit of repackaging if you want to push it.

Maybe add comments to those 2 papers with an “elevator pitch” or a request for other relevant info, and link to an improved post, and it should bubble up and find the right people to evaluate it.

Edit: also perhaps get your idea onto the various Covid daily link sites: good ideas should bubble up. Use Twitter to relevant people. Pass the idea to this guy who writes fantastically and has audience: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-peop...

Good luck, we need some!
What I extract from your reply is what I am actively trying to teach myself: DON'T. TAKE. ANYTHING. PERSONALLY.

Yeah?

BTW I am not exactly young -- 40 y/o with 18 years of professional experience (not claiming anything about quality). I was just objecting to your general premise that if somebody isn't snatched immediately then they must be mediocre because I've witnessed programmers times better than me (whose sole efforts turned entire companies around) slag around jobless for 6 months and not being able to move beyond 2nd interview even if EVERYBODY told them they like their expertise and demeanour and that they are a good cultural fit.

But you are very likely correct that it's a numbers game and that various circumstances prevent companies to actually actively look for the gems.

So again, I do my best not to take anything personally.
They straight up lied about offering E2E encryption. Don't know if that's fixed, actually.

Apple had to release an update of their OS to remove Zooms rootkit.

(I'm not a Zoom user, but that's just because my employer uses something else).
Ha! The parent might be right about the young people though I'd think the reason for reinventing things is a lot more people writing code and preferring different styles. That is a positive!

I don't think YAML/JSON are being superseded, but I'd really love for something like Cue (https://cuelang.org/) to become the standard for storing configuration.
@danieltillett

I could quickly put together a team focused on southern Nigeria and Ghana to find through word of mouth, medical records, contact tracing lists and social media, people who have experienced covid-19 symptoms and are likely to have had the disease. My team would also collect samples from people in the worst affected areas who are asymptomatic. In this way, we could collect data and enough samples to isolate a(?the) virus if any.

Do you know any organisations that could provide funding and support for this ?
The financial system is rigged in the favor of bigger players; especially stock market. Big players with a lot of capital can easily add “insurance” to their investments via hedging strategies that a small investor would not be able to utilize due to the high capital requirements currently in place. They are other regulations that make it tough for small players to get into the game such as the mark to market feature which abolishes/ makes one exempt from the “wash sale rule”; the requirements to get this is an uphill battle for a small investor.

On the surface wash sale rule seems to make sense but in reality it limits the amount of trades you can do especially in times of high volatility. And as Nassim Taleb mentions in his book “Antifragile” things that are harmed during times of high volatility are extremely “fragile”.

The technology is already there to make proper investing available to the masses; unfortunately regulations heavily hinders the feasibility for a small company to roll something like this out.
This seems like it hits their graphql api. Is this free to use?
> So what they struggled?

It's not about that. People realized the privacy implications and the fact that Zoom was not forthcoming about some aspects of it.

It's looking more and more like the CCP wanted this to become a global pandemic.
Build a Modern Computer from First Principles: From Nand to Tetris (Project-Centered Course)
https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer

and then part 2:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/nand2tetris2

[Both courses are free]

These are fantastic courses, by far the best MOOCs I have ever taken. I went into them knowing nothing about computer architecture, and by the end of the first course I was able to design a fully-working digital computer in Logisim.

While other courses consist of lectures + text content, with Nand2Tetris the course is practical. The authors have developed a complete software system to allow you to complete the course:

* A simplified hardware programming language to design the ALU, CPU, clock, RAM, etc..

* A hardware simulator and debugger to allow you to test the hardware that you develop

* An assembler for the assembly programs you write for the computer

* A compiler for the higher-level programs you write for the computer

I'm probably banging-on about this course more than I reasonably should, but that's just because I enjoyed the course so much!

Ask HN: Covid caused cloud problems anyone?
I heard of cloud outages because of increased demands. Anyone who noticed problems recently?

Both for on demand resources, but also for the many cloud services the giants offer.
I can second this too. The presentation was a bit crude sometimes but the course was good nevertheless.
Announcing: Serverless Components GA
You don’t, but what you are looking for is a virus with a largish deletion in an essential gene. You then go and look for anyone in contact with this person and check them and then expand out to the whole local area. If everyone infected with this strain has a mild illness they you have hit the jackpot.

I do describe this in my blog post.
If I recall correctly, at least the first tender failed. No manufacturer responded.
Can't the attenuated strain mutate back to a strong dangerous one after we spread it? (Hope this isn't a stupid question)
> Stop hating Zoom.

No. I don't trust Zoom. I don't like that people like you apologise for them while they continue to make choices that actively endanger users.

I don't like their business model, and I don't like that I'm forced to use it to interact with people. I don't like that I can't verify it's doing what it says it's doing and am actively prevented from doing so. I don't like Zoom and I don't like that I can't choose to not install their spyware because people who don't know any better and don't have any way to protect themselves keep installing it and forcing me to use it.

No. I won't stop hating Zoom until I - and the people who don't know how Zoom is hurting them and so use it anyway - can be free of it and the people who make it so awful.

Most problems they had (at least those reported on) were not really tied to the number of users though, that would be quite excusable. The criticism was mostly poor security[1] due to bad decisions in the first place.

It mostly highlights that in order to rush the product out of the door many shortcuts were taken and security shouldn't be one of them in this day and age.

You don't randomly hop on the first bus that arrives at your bus stop. You need the bus that brings you to your desired destination. The bus number is important to know you're on the right bus. Sorting by bus number makes it easier to scan for arrival time of the bus you actually need.

Try to look at this from the perspective of a country whose resources you are trying to protect from non-local usurpation by global Western organisations:

https://www.cfr.org/localjournalists

And no, I was referring to the spies posing as journalists in Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and so on. This is most definitely a rabbit hole any enlightened western observer of world affairs should go down.
Yeah I think it makes a lot of difference. See doctors at hospitals... even youngs pass out. (I think in a higher rate than usual.)
I took it relatively recently but I have mixed feelings about it. While the topic itself is very interesting and they have some interesting exercises, the explanations in the videos are seriously lacking.

There are big jumps in reasoning and explanations so you'll need to rely on external material quite a bit (I've used Bayesian Reasoning by Barber) Also, exercises are presented in Matlab/Octave which makes them a pain to work with.

After completing the specialization, I've almost felt that you could just do a course that explains this course.
Cool. Lets trash the Constitution then! It's entirely irrelevant, having been written in response to transgressions that happened hundreds of years ago.

In theory any coronavirus could, including the 4 we consider absolutely harmless.

In fact, with existing attenuated virus approaches that eventually becomes the problem, the "last mile" of this approach usually sees you needing a real vaccine to cap off the disease. Otherwise the virus kinda circulates around in a tight enough cycle that you see most if not all eventual mutations including dangerous ones that kill. Communities using attenuated virus vaccination approaches for Polio faced this in recent times, for example. And it becomes a problem in places where you can't get people to afford or accept the real vaccine.

Anyway it's a tried/tested approach to solving a pathogen problem, so it's hardly some crazy idea this person has. They do point out the there will be specific types of mutations that are less likely to mutate back if you read the whole article.
I took it a few years back. Highly recommended.
If this was a serious project, you wouldn't irreversibly break userland. If you're going to call it kernel modules, compare yourself to the Linux kernel, where breaking ANY userland is forbidden.
The vast majority of communications occur between people who are publicly known to have an association and have no need to deny the association. Some common examples:

1. Friends

2. Family members.

3. Members of a business.

If your life or freedom is on the line because of an association with someone then most systems out there are somewhat dangerous due to the weakness of the endpoints. You would want something like an airgapped computer with on or off line dead drops possibly hidden with stenography.

I haven’t tried this, but I have been on Zoom meetings with 30 simultaneous screens going at a good framerate on a normal device in Gallery Mode, and 400 participants.

That seems to be Zoom’s signature achievement. I have not had any other commercial app even come close.

How does this compare, in endpoint software?
I'm in a 1 bedroom apartment with my fiance who is also work from home now, there isn't really space to put a physical green screen behind me.

If you have the space, and good lighting it's a much simpler approach.

It's also less fun though, and I could do this with what I had on hand pretty quickly.
SGF Boss Mustapha – we don't no the health sector is as this bad
Yeah - the updated version is much better (I've completed both of them) just because you don't need to struggle with Matlab.

Overall, this course is extremely good mostly because Ng covers the essential theoretical topics and gives some practical advice. Also, the topics are explained really well and you do not need to look up additional material.
Also, I really appreciate that he took the time to derive those equations while others just drop the results.
I think GP's point was that if you have a candidate it would also make sense to use sequences from the hospitalised to try and confirm your strain didn't put them there.

Aka this being one mechanism by which you confirm it is only producing mild illness. There's a limited amount you can find out by asking because nobody knows what strain they had.
"It seems that [coronavirus] may be the greatest question of the modern era around civil liberties, around the right to privacy. Yet no one's asking this question."

Right, no one, just Vice. The only content here is Snowden's last answer, the rest is an ad for the show. The question of privacy awareness while responding to covid seem pretty well discussed in my bubble, this article doesn't really seem to add anything to the conversation.
This has absolutely nothing to do with where Zoom is developed or by whom. It is the stated privacy policy and the software engineering practices to which the company adheres - and the security best practices to which they do not - which are abhorrent to me. This isn't about tech. This isn't about nationality. This is about a social tool being used to exploit people and the network effects that has on others who may have no choice.

That's why Jitsi Meet is important. It is everything Zoom isn't - while still accomplishing nearly everything Zoom attempts to accomplish while exploiting its users. That's why it's important.

Yes, you can trust - so long as you always verify while trusting.

Of course, there are two ways out of this, herd or vaccine. The above is a variation of herd that may result in less deaths.

The real problem is that waiting until a vaccine is just not even remotely realistic for so many reasons that it's not even funny. We could end up causing more indirect deaths with social isolation than we could possibly imagine, worst case being a huge collapse in the economy results in a large regional or global conflict.
