And that is where it all goes wrong.
Not all jobs can be done from home, and it's not all or nothing. I work with hardware, just having one person be able to work alone in our lab would be a massive improvement as there's test equipment we couldn't move. I don't see much risk there. Others might face similar challenges accessing materials (physical or virtual) that need to be kept somewhere secure.

EDIT: Also need to remember the challenges for parents. It can be incredibly hard to be productive at home with kids around, and ability to trade off the responsibility of watching them and working would be huge.
Has this been tried on something like a cityscape?

If so, it seems like you could fly a drone with two cameras at relatively low altitude and get insane resolution for things like cityscapes at a pretty low cost

> While Blunt himself had no issues with Yankovic recording the parody, Blunt's record label Atlantic did; they forbade Yankovic from commercially releasing the song at the last minute. Yankovic eventually released the song online as a veritable free single; furthermore, in music videos and during live performances, Yankovic has made reference to his dispute with Atlantic. Since the initial debacle in 2006, Yankovic has occasionally reached out to Blunt and his label to see if he can release the song on compilations. However, each time that he has approached Atlantic Records, he has been denied permission.

You need to elaborate, it is not at all clear how homeschooling will lead to a kid being exposed to a much wider variety of social situations.
My Guess is that it is mostly a security through obscurity thing for now, we do not know exactly how they mark the audio. When someone figures this out I believe that it should be possible to filter this out.

It would be interesting if they found a way to watermark the audio in such a way that removing the mark makes the audio unusable.

It is interesting. There is definitely a concerted effort to take Amazon down. I can't really say I am against that outcome. The reason I find it interesting is that is not appear to be some grass root movement of customers ( despite good reasons, in my opinion, to switch ). And if that is the case, the question becomes what is behind that steady stream of anti-Amazon stories. Competitors? Bezos crossed someone too big to cross? My guess is as good as yours.

This is a fantastic feature. It isn't so much for the company to prevent it but a way for the guy being pressured to share the recording to say "I'm sorry, I can't. They embed details in it that if they were leaked would ruin me." i.e. technology that allows you to say no to things is great.

The most extreme example is a secret that if I shared with you, I'd die painfully. You can't threaten me with death or torture because that's what's going to happen to me if I share it with you.

Creator here, happy to answer any questions. Here's why I built this.

JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, and Markup) is fundamentally reshaping the web. Coined by Netlify's co-founder, JAMstack bridges the gap between static and dynamic websites. Capitalize on static site performance, security, and scalability while still having dynamic data.

I've seen this first-hand, building many JAMstacks sites myself. As a front-end developer, it was always challenging to find good examples of serverless functions. I'd usually have to dive through documentation, search StackOverflow, and ask questions on GitHub. They might have code but never had complete instructions for set up.

JAMstack Functions is a directory of the best serverless functions for JAMstack applications. Each function includes code for both Vercel (Next.js) and Netlify Functions, as well as instructions for setting up. Quickly deploy the function to your static site and start building.

Let me know which functions you'd like to see added.

I agree 100%. I think after say 1st grade, most schools are enormously inefficient, their main value is providing free day care and (somewhat) supervised socialization opportunities. The actual academic work is easily done at home with little supervision.
> I've always been baffled when someone hosts on their competitors' platform. Like Netflix hosting on AWS

Netflix had a 5-day outage caused by issues with their private DC back in the day.

IT mgmt. decided their expertise wasn't in operating DC's, SV real estate was too expensive, and doing multi-region themselves was too expensive.

AWS was picked as it was the only viable cloud offering at the time, and the decision was made to be mono-cloud until later. (Azure was used for storing backups.)

Note that AWS was never used for large-scale streaming. Either a partner CDN was used, or now their own CDN.

In 2015 I had an unusual solicitation from a recruiter on LinkedIn - as a lawyer this in my experience is a rarity unlike tech where I understand it to be common place - with interest in offering me a General Counsel position with Romero Britto's Company.

Turns out Apple engaged in discussions to license (or maybe commissioning) Britto's Art, but then Apple turned around and essentially just "knocked off" of Britto's style. They were looking to bring me in to file and handle lawsuit for copyright infringement...I declined the offer and they filed suit (I believe it ended up with a settlement).

It is easy to have strong opinions one way or another about copyright laws, but feelings of law aside, my opinion was that it was in very poor taste for a company like Apple to court an Artist like Britto and then big time him the way they did...sure art and artistic styles are a dime a dozen, but they could have used any art for their campaign, they didn't have to mimic/copy his style (I can't fathom what would even make them do that...ego I suppose). For those who are curious here is a link to an article that shows Apple's alleged infringing art:

Here's the process for WA; which step do you think makes it "impossible" for the ballot to remain secret?

1) You fill out the ballot, there is no identifying information on the ballot.

2) You put the ballot into a privacy sleeve, and then put the ballot into the envelope.

3) You seal and sign the envelope; then put it in the mailbox.

4) Your mail carrier takes the envelope and delivers it to the election commission.

5) The sealed envelopes are examined in person during the counting process to check that the signature is valid. (3rd parties can observe the counting process to make sure procedures are being followed)

6) The ballot in the privacy sleeve are removed from the envelope and placed in a separate box.

7) Boxes of ballots are counted by separate poll workers.

(If by "secret ballot" you mean people can sell their vote, mailed ballots can be cancelled with a "cancellation form". You can then request a new ballot by mail, or vote in person.)

Fair enough. I’m still surprised at just how unreadable (for me) the wasm2c output was, though. The compiler must have done quite a bit of optimizing that wasm2c was unable to undo.
Do you have a source for them having 10k engineers? That seems extremely high. I'm going to guess that you are wrong, and grossly exaggerating numbers to stroke your ego or because of bias.

The wife of one of my good friends was on the county school board for 12 years. According to her, it was an unspoken secret was that parental involvement was the biggest predictor of / contributor to student success. The reason it was taboo was because you absolutely cannot expect anything from the parents. It was political suicide.

I would put dollars on the table that such is already happening for every parent that is willing and able to do it, because they were already doing it before too.
If Blunt had said no and his publisher said yes, Yankovic wouldn't have released a song even for free. So it seems Yankovic considers asking for permission to be both a matter of courtesy and liability, with more apparent emphasis on courtesy.

Sure, let's talk it out together. So I think that #1 may as well be, "pay the best teachers extra to record their lectures and have them for years to come." Universities do this. It's worthwhile. We should probably do that!

But I'm not sure it replaces anything that exists (I'm not sure you argued this!). A core reason we have teachers and not a TV screen is because they can organically read the room and adjust the lesson plan in real time. That feedback loop is constantly ongoing even if you never noticed it.

I don't want to jump too far through the experiment but I think the conclusion is the same: any good idea is really just, "we need to do more." So if the argument is that we can do more with the same resources, I fear it's because we fail to grok what those resources are actually doing today.

I think the problem is that most kids don’t really care about the material—if they are not understanding it, they’ll do something else during the lecture instead of asking for help. Struggling but trying hard is far more indicative of success than easily passing tests without studying, in my opinion.
I am in almost identical situation, two kids, roughly same age, both parents work full time. My wife and I had a rough time in the first couple of weeks but now the kids have gotten into a routine. They plan their day a day before and they are able to get through all the assigned work in about 5 hours. I think this can work. Everybody is still figuring it out but its seem to me we can and will do much better when the materials are better structured for online access and there is better communication between parents and teachers.
Most think it is worthwhile trying to create a vaccine rather than just giving up and not even trying.

Nobody who knows anything about Coronavirus vaccines thinks it will be easy, but just because something is hard should not be a reason for not trying, especially when the reward for success is huge. All I can say is I am glad Salk and all the other Polio vaccine researchers didn’t just give up without trying because it was difficult.

In theory, sure.. But remember that on YouTube, the vast majority of uploaders are not customers, they're the product.

Google is a business and therefore the calculations that go into deciding who to side with in these kinds of disputes doesn't _only_ factor in the law, but also the impact on the business.

In this case, they predictably sided with a fellow corporate entity, like they almost always do. There is no business reason for them to go to bat for a small non-commercial uploader, they're better off just removing the video when a deep-pocketed company complains about it.
Because what small government really means is eliminating social safety nets and publicly beneficial programs, and focusing on protecting corporate profits above all else.
How do you keep the main teacher from getting out of sync with the students in the breakout sections? If a student needs 10 extra minutes with their group teacher to understand what is being taught how do they get caught back up to what the main teacher is covering? The only way I can see this working is if the main lecture is prerecorded, but at that point you just have a normal class except for where the group teacher has to do extra work to understand how the main teacher is explaining things. This may work better, but I'm not sure if it would be a massive improvement.

Furthermore, unless we suddenly hire a lot more teachers each student's group is going to essentially be their normal class and we are back to the whole class being kept back when someone needs extra help. Again, the only difference seems to be the main lecture is performed by someone besides the students' teacher. This could be better if the new teacher really is "world class", but I doubt it will be an extreme improvement.

>We want something like 150 degrees so it actually feels warm.

The reason why you want the air cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter is to achieve a similar (comfortable) rate of heat loss through your skin. The reason why that feels different even at the same air temperature is due to humidity and radiative heating differences. Your HVAC isn't just heating and cooling you, it's also heating and cooling all of your walls. If your wall temperature varies by 10 degrees between summer and winter, even with the same air temperature, it'll feel different because of the increase or decrease in infrared coming off of the walls. The better insulated and less leaky your house is, the lower that differential will be. If you could run radiative cooling through external walls and ceilings, you would only need a fraction of the typical air movement in a house for ventilation and you would still feel totally comfortable.

We don't need to heat rooms with body temperature ventilation, we just need to keep a comfortable rate of heat loss for human occupants. That's dependent on radiative heat, air temperature, humidity, and air velocity.
