> It's expensive to be poor in the US. And, unless you've been poor, it can be hard to empathize with because poor problems are largely solved by having more money.

This is a great summary of the major issue with being poor. I know people who live in Italy and Denmark who take home about the same percentage below the poverty line there that I did when I was quite poor. They always had food on the table, always had medical care, and didn't miss rent payments. We just cut poor people loose here.

One thing that baffles me is that no one has brought up that hooks don't have an obvious context.

For instance, if I have a single app and component, and use a hook, I understand that the hook and app have some sort of implicit connection.

But what happens when I have two distinct react apps on a page - does that break the ordering that hooks require? How does a hook have any affinity to the app, or does that even matter?

I'm sure looking at the code will cause a "oh, I get it" moment, but that doesn't mean it's obvious to anyone just picking up hooks.

Honestly, I think hooks are fine, but I'd almost prefer a signature like `const MyComponent = (props, { ...hooksHere })` so there's at least a false affinity between the application and the component.

Just like the FAA and Boeing until it didn't?

> We know there was an engineering failure followed by a process failure wrt 737 max.

My reading of the situation was a process failure, a couple of engineering screw ups, and possibly user error.
SELECT 'foo' WHERE bar = baz FROM quux
UNION ALL
SELECT 'bar' WHERE bar <> baz FROM quux

I would understand returning an error in that case if bar or baz were unknown. The truthiness of bar = baz is unknown, so that's an error.

But that's not what SQL Servers do. They're all pedantic about how NULL means unknown right up until the rubber hits the road of the WHERE clause, when suddenly NULL means false.

Which means that they're not saying that foo = bar is unknown, they're instead making a definitive assertion that both foo = bar is false and foo <> bar is false. And that's disastrously wrong.
I am so glad I never got on the coffee bandwagon. I once surreptitiously added up how much my coworkers spent on coffee during a typical work week (not even including what they might have spent at home). Crazy (to me) amounts of money.
> For C++ programs, replacing malloc and free at runtime is the worst choice. When the compiler can see the definition of new and delete at build time it can generate far better programs. When it can’t see them, it generates out-of-line function calls to malloc for every operator new, which is bananas.

This argument smells like bullshit, sorry, and it's totally not justified in the article. Giving just numbers without even explaining a potential causality points to benchmark setup failure more than anything.

Unless you are talking about statically linking your malloc implementation, your entire STL and all depending libraries AND then performing LTO on it, and even then I'd be surprised if there's any noticeable improvement over this.

Not to mention I don't know of _any_ real-life executable that does this...

- They use webrtc to set-up a peer to peer connection between all the participantes (streamyard server is a participant of the call).
(The browser takes care of all the hard part (encoding, noise reduction, echo suppresion) and just sends the video and audio stream via RTP).

- The local and remote cameras are objects that you can arrange on the screen using javascript. This is how they make the layout options.

- In the server, they implement a webrtc client which has the same layout options. I would bet they use something like ffmpeg library to create a final video stream and send to the destination via RTMP (youtube, facebook and such).

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any AWS solution for this, but there are several implementations of the server part (like Kurento and https://openvidu.io/)

> I don't think there is any social stigma to catching the coronavirus.

Sadly, this is not true in India. Infected people have been threatened by their neighbors and friends with death. Infected people have also been harmed. Doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who have been caring for COVID-19 patients have been evicted from their houses or physically harmed (the latter forced the government to bring an emergency law providing for stringent punishment for those who attack healthcare workers).

I’m guessing that there will be a social stigma depending on the culture as well as other factors like the mortality rate (if your area has a higher mortality rate, then you’d likely hate infected people and take matters into your own hands).

Humans can very quickly develop irrational fears and react on that.

So there is a huge need to preserve the privacy of those infected.

You can clap your hands to a calibrated delay from the previous beat that you heard (predicting the next beat before you hear it). This is analogous to the principle of a phase-locked loop, which gradually adjusts an internal oscillator until it matches an external frequency. That internal oscillator can emit a beat just before the real one, offset just enough to cancel all the delays in the processing path.

This only works if the beat you're hearing is sufficiently stable.

This approach can work, however increasing the time constant of the leds would make it so slow to the point of being unusable in practice. It can be done via firmware, but also adding a very cheap external circuit which would be impossible to disable via malware.
The idea is that if any pulse sent to the led would lit it for say at least one second, the attacker would be forced to have their malware modulate the led much slower, to the point that transmitting a small file could require way more time than the drone can fly.

Part of the reason I would do such a thing is to have something to point at if / when things do fall apart.

When I backtrace from my malloc wrapper, injected with LD_PRELOAD, I see malloc, std::new, then the call site that involved new. Unless std::new is doing some funky shit (Like detecting dlsym("malloc") isn't glibc's malloc, and changing implementations) I have my doubts about the claim that dynamic replacement is costly. It appears new is already dynamically linking malloc.
That’s one side of the ethical question, but what about the other side, what about the people who have been in contact during the period where the infected person would rather not have its location disclosed?

And it is a bit theoretical, as the authorities who have the capability to track your blutooth across the city have many other ways to track you (starting by calling your phone service).

The problem is that "Unknown" is so much less useful than None. Date of Death is "none" is much more of a useful concept when I'm building a database of people than Date of Death is "unknown". I have a lot more alive people in my database than we-don't-know-if-they're-dead people.

Unless you go for the really high-end stuff, it's a few cents a day to drink a couple of cups at home in the morning.

In a seller's market for labor, free coffee makes a useful pons asinorum for potential employers, whether or not you drink it at work. (I don't.) Even in overpriced packaging methods like K-cups, it's so inexpensive in bulk that a company that cheaps out there will cheap out on more important things too. Similarly, because caffeine is a performance-enhancing drug for cognitive workers, one may reasonably question the good sense of leadership which refuses to provide it free of charge.
If you always make your own coffee at home:

- pick a number of cups you may drink each day, say four.

- brew your own coffee with a drip infuser, from ground coffee.

- get a container to hold, say, 90:10 caffeinated:decaf coffee grounds. After four days, move to 80:20. Etc.

Don't exceed your daily limit. You'll be cured in ~ a month. You can do it.
> Are you referring to the possibility of errors in your model? That's not the same thing.

It is very easy to complete a proof on the wrong model, and there are always errors in the model, at least initially.

There's always an iterative process of refining the model until you are confident in its being good enough. When are you confident it is good enough? That's quite similar to asking "If you don't use formal methods, how do you know when your work is done?"

Well, getting an RCE on that wouldn't be that hard I imagine. Not a whole lot of protections in there, and if there is an OS between the browser and the metal you can exploit that too.

And if you don't want to exploit the browser or the hardware, you can still simply inject a self-refreshing iframe in to the plain text html stream and have that z80 act like a (slow) proxy so you can do things that will point to that Z80 being the 'origin'.

Everybody assumes that 'simpler' or 'reduced' systems are always safer, but as soon as you deal with external interfaces and the outside world, that goes out the window. Lynx was thought to have less of an attack surface because it just did basic text-based browsing with HTML and not much else. Turns out that wasn't the case either.

other materials created by state legislators in the course of performing their lawmaking responsibilities, e.g., legislative committee reports, floor statements, unenacted bills. (Ante, at 8–9). Not all that legislators do, however, is ineligible for copyright protection; the government edicts doctrine shields only “works that are (1) created by judges and legislators (2) in the course of their judicial and legislative duties.” (Ante, at 9) (emphasis added). The core question this case presents, as I see it: Are the annotations in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) done in a legislative capacity? The answer, I am persuaded, should be no.

> The supply chain for rice and beans can't double its capacity because we suddenly have a meat shortage

Yes, it takes 3-5 months to bring rice to harvest, assuming you have a suitable climate for growing it in the first place (which most of the United States does not).

Beans are more forgiving with respect to climate, but they also take 3-4 months to grow.

And, as you say, you can't suddenly turn a meat packing and distribution operation into one for rice. They're different in almost every respect.
The gameboy is a well established piece of gaming hardware in which millions were made and sold around the world. It's a household name. I can still insert a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX into my Gameboy Color to this very day and it will run. It doesn't need an internet connection, account or subscription. I also have a fond memories of the gameboy and it's been a part of my life for damn near 30 years. Of course this means I have a whole draw full of gamboys and so does my brother. And it was right there in your hands, it was a part of you. You develop a fondness for those kind of things. They're also simple machines to program and pretty well documented.

Contrast that to a passive IoT thing. It isn't front and center like a console so it isn't going to produce fond memories. In 20 years will anyone remember Sonos? Nest? Can someone dig it up, plug it in and start enjoying music again? I'm pretty sure those answers are "No." They just don't have the popularity or exposure the gameboy has and are quickly forgotten about.

This needs to be qualified: with respect to Twitter's target audience.

It's empirically not true that smartphone penetration is universal. Only ~350 million smartphones exist in India for 1 billion people, for example (source: McKinsey Global Institute's "Digital India" report publication from April 2019).

It's a fair statement to say that the majority of prospective and current Twitter users have smartphones, which justifies this decision.
