>If opium had been illegal, you might have a point; but it was legal for sale in China.

China made opium trade and cultivation illegal in 1799.
This is just sloppy logical thinking. Even assuming your statement that "all...megacorps are staring to embrace", it is not reasonable to then conclude that any alternate opinion about remote work at all is wrong thinking.

By what logic can you assume the special case of some types of positions in Silicon Valley "megacorps" is generally applicable to all other jobs?
Well, technically there would also be some inductance... which as an externally coupled field would radiate, and that inherently causes loss!
Opium had existed for a long time and the demand for it existed. British merchants responded to market demand and smart business people realized the ability to grow it in India and places like that and then sell it in China.

Its not like England had this huge imperial stockpile of opium laying around that they went out to find a buyer for. The opium supply grew because there was demand.

The nature of drugs is that supply also induces some demand, but the idea that the British had some masterplan to get the China hooked on Opium is kind of conspiracy theory nonsense. Capitalism responds to market prices and the limits of the market regulations enforced on them.

Yes, as all the kids obsessed with military hardware noticed right away. I'm sure real captured Soviet planes were too valuable to risk for a movie, not to mention their existence was probably kept secret.

Osquery core developer, consultant, and technical committee member here...

We've always treaded carefully around privacy concerns as a project. This is why you don't see tables that access information such as browser history. If you join our Slack channels you will see open discussion of privacy implications for changes and improvements.

There's a balance to be struck between visibility and privacy. If a security team has no visibility into a system, they can't secure that system. This doesn't mean they need to be able to look at your family photos and read your messages.

I work with folks who care deeply about privacy and trust with their users. These folks ensure that osquery configurations are available to users, so that they can see what exactly is being monitored.

just looked into this and can confirm, jam cannot join a meet "natively".

but it is close enough. just use the google meet app from the iPad, and share the iPad screen from within Meet. it's the method i outlined, just with the jam app instead of 'Coloring'.

even without google meet on the iPad, the share-to-yourself and then share screen is unnecessary. create a new jam, join that jam from laptop and iPad, and share the jam from your laptop. this seems easier to me, but ymmv. https://allthings.how/how-to-use-jamboard-in-google-meet/

should also work with any other videoconf app. i assume they all allow screen share.

i really enjoy this method much better, because now in Catalina the screen recording permission is a distinct capability. I only enable that for Chrome when I explicitly need to share the screen. Setting those kinds of capabilities is not automatable, so it's a self-imposed annoyance, but worth it for the security gain. People really underappreciate the improved security of Catalina, perhaps justifiably so due to the other craptasticness of it. When you enable this in prefs, it says you have to restart chrome for it to take effect. However, you don't. The permission takes effect dynamically. Probably because each tab is a new process in Chrome, so it is in effect "restarting".

for vc apps that have their own app, this is great compartmentalization for the screen recording permission. for vc that runs in the browser, the tradeoff is you have to give the entire browser screen recording permission. this is too vast of a permission. of course with a native app you then have the zoom-malware problem. sigh.
I see more anti-china sentiments there than in hacker news. And I see it on hacker news way too much in my opinion.
I am still trying, and achieving, to give them the benefit of the doubt. They understood and took it back.

Author here. Synchronization is an issue I forgot to mention, I guess that's because it's the first problem I addressed. Right now I'm shooting indoors so I just switch lights on/off at some point in the video and then synchronize the videos over the average between the maximum changes of luminance with a simple python script. It's not a generic solution and the accuracy you get is not very high, but it's simple and it works well enough for a first test.

Resolution at 30fps is 3840x2160 pixels for the A77, but yes it's probably upscaled. Again at this point I am not too concerned about resolution at this point.
It's mostly irrelevant anyways; The biggest inefficiency of dictatorships is that there are actual dictators that can eat a nation's riches. I don't quite see that parallel in design space.

I'm sorry but I don't have much patience for that kind of conversation. It tends to waste too much time with clarifications and refutations of wrong assumptions.

Here are the HN guidelines:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Please read them again, or for the first time if you haven't done so already. Especially the one about responding to the strongest interpretation of what someone says.
Looks pretty cool. What I really want though is a library that let's me write plain SQL queries which are then mapped into nested objects in a smart way without too much manual work (I know Postgres can do JSON stuff, but the queries look pretty complicated for what little they actually do).

Say `SELECT * FROM user LEFT JOIN post ON user.id = post.id` would be mapped to `[{userId: 1, name: renke1, posts: [{postId: 2, title: "foo"]]`.

You probably need some kind of meta data to figure out how tables and thus objects relate to each other though.

Basically, I want to be able to leverage the full power of modern databases without being constrainted by typical ORM limitations. Also, I don't need features like lazy loading, sessions, caches and things like that.

A great advantage is that you can (provided you have some test data) easily test your queries while you develop a new feature (think IntelliJ IDEA where you can simply execute an SQL query on the fly).
When did we run out of ventilators?

As far as I know nowhere ever ran out of ventilators, not even in Lombardy. But I sure saw that claim made a lot of times back when people thought that would happen. Spent a lot of time pointing out the authorities were denying it'd happened too. I concluded it's very easy for people to mix up "we think this is about to happen" with "this has happened".
Yeah see the difference is that I just don't care about software licenses. At all. It's such an inconsequential issue that gets a small frothy-mouthed minority so worked-up that I find it baffling how anyone could spend so much time and energy worrying about.
I'm viewing it exactly the other way around: if my co-workers have to learn this stuff anyway, I can just as well just use F#, which implements these things in more convenient ways.

You've divided the working world up into "decisions makers" and "peons" and you want me to view your thoughts on this as reasonable?

And is there some law of physics that I'm not aware of that neatly divides all jobs into two buckets, "decision makers" and "workers"? Leaning on that sort of manufactured dichotomy is low resolution thinking.

Translating Wikipedia entry about him:

"He works as a high school teacher in Munich"

Before:

"studied physics and law" ... "and in 1993 obtained a diploma in physics and a state examination in law. In 2001 he received his doctorate in neuroscience from the Institute of Medical Psychology at LMU Munich."

Investigating more, he is just the guy that writes books claiming "science bad" and of course there are enough who like to buy that. He also "maintains presence" in the electronic media, for the same purpose (of selling his "work").

But no real science is done by him.

LIGO, VIRGO etc are real science, in spite of what he writes. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2017/press-release...

The real scientists are celebrating the achievement, but one German high school teacher who never contributed to physics somehow "sees the light"? If his arguments were even valid, he would be recognized too.
Precisely. The community aspect is more important to many people than the actual workouts themselves.

I think this can be said for many group-class-like workouts though.
I really like the unique approach of the annotated SQL files and can definitely see some use cases where it would be good to declutter the SQL from the code. For me personally, I'd be hesitant to add another build tool to my already bloated toolchain. Could create a special Babel-style "import" type that automatically transforms your code (JIT)? It could remove some of the friction in adoption (for Babel users at least).

Another one in a similar vein with strict typing and really nice SQL interpolation for Postgres: https://github.com/gajus/slonik

Pretty much everything you said is false.

First of all, the US has EXCELLENT land for farming, the idea that all food production would be outsourced without subsidies is the kind of nonsense that lobbies make up to scare people who don't understand a shred of farming or economics. You act like the US is Saudi Arabia or something.

The US will have sufficient food security and significant food export without subsidies. Specially if something happened to the international food market.

In New Zealand they massively cut farm subsidies and everybody expected farming to basically collapse as an industry, now they have the most effective agriculture sector in the world.

Of which conspiracy theories?

People saying "it's like the flu / it's no big deal" are talking about death rates and severity, not that they think it's literally the same as a flu virus. And that belief is not a conspiracy theory: for one, it alleges no conspiracy. It's actually the obvious conclusion to draw from public data which shows flu-season like excess death rates.

> Is this actually a hurdle considering we can access all this content right from the browser?

Right, that's sort of what I mean—accessing it isn't the point. Once you've paid for and subscribed to every different streaming service today, and checked that there aren't a few more that have sprouted up overnight, then access is a solved problem, in the browser or prettified on the desktop. The hard part, and what I think people mean when they speak of wanting one service, is not having to curate, seek out, and pay for all those different streaming services in the first place.
Netflix was great when it first came out, but as the providers fragment into their own streaming services it's killing the model. I'm not interested in paying >$100/mo cable-tv-channel-package-style, at this point I'd rather drop that cash on a VPN and seedbox and still have $80 left over.

The actual equations do capture it. It's just the simplified minimal equations that result in 'paradox'.

A full model is complicated by the fact that your capacitors have an internal series resistance and leakage resistance, and that the leads and circuit board traces have resistance and inductance. Just like the pipes and valve has some resistance to flow, and some water might leak out or evaporate, and the water has inertia and nonzero viscosity, and turbulence will turn some of the motion to heat, and depending on the phase of the moon, the time of day, and the compass orientation of the barrels, the water may be pulled into a picometers-higher tide in one barrel. When you say "they equalize with half the water in each" you don't typically mention that the phase of the moon may be a factor.
I didn't say you shouldn't pay for it. My suggestion was to compensate the copyright holder, just reduce their power over their creation. Currently, you need the copyright holder to agree upon you releasing their work. It doesn't need to be like that. The copyright holder can still be compensated even if they can't stop you from publishing their stuff.
Paying their entire rent is a hard sell, but I would think it reasonable to pay for an employee to have a setup at home that would be as good as they would get at a modern office.

That includes things like:

* office-quality furniture -- sit/stand desks, chairs, videoconference equipment

* computers, monitors, whatever you would provide for them at work

* subsidies for lunch and snacks if it's the norm in your locale (it is for lots of companies in Silicon Valley)

* adequate lighting

* decent bandwidth internet connection

* housing market rate cash for the employee to rent a space with 1 additional bedroom than what they previously had, that can be converted into a dedicated workspace

* some reasonable budget for art/decorations/plants/whatever in your dedicated workspace. basically stuff that you would normally have in a modern office

All of this would probably still add up to much, much less than they spend on employees at a real office. It's for the company's own good as well -- do you really want your employees working out of a noisy cramped bedroom with 4 other housemates and strapped for cash to buy only used IKEA furniture with missing screws and sit cramped between a bed and a tiny desk, or do you want your employee to be focused in a comfortable workspace and get work done?
