I know, and if I were in the same boat, I would probably do the same thing.

The thing is a piece of software that could replace and update Revit is not going to be built by a lone developer. I know people have built some pretty amazing stuff, but for something to operate with that amount of polish and reliability it's going to take a pretty big team and some experienced people to lead them which means some hefty VC investment. While you or I might be easily bought off a group of VC firms are not going to let it go so cheaply.

Great point about CDs being pretty much recession-proof. Minor quibble:

> iPods were generally powered by iTunes sales

I think this is the lionised view of the iPod, but it's not really backed up by the stats or the early marketing ("Rip. Mix. Burn.") which was targeted at folks who were still buying CDs.

Apple sold its 10 millionth iTunes song in September of 2003, and around that time would have sold around 1.5 million iPods (they'd sold 600k in January '03, and announced that they'd shipped 2 million in January '04). So if you assume that all iTMS sales are to iPod owners (as someone who did not own an iPod until around 2007, but bought music on iTunes, I am a very small datapoint that speaks to this not being true!), then the average iPod owner either only had only around 7 songs on their iPod, or iPods were principally powered by CD rips and illegal downloads.

It doesn't change the thrust of your point but I thought you might find it interesting.
Exporting is on the roadmap. Currently you can `wget` your own site, but that's not a great solution.
I don't know the current numbers but prior to Brexit, more British people expatriated to countries like Australia, Canada and America than the EU combined (with the exception of Spain, which is high on the list due to retirees moving to the English enclaves in the Costa del Sol).

Leaving the European Union is going to allow the UK to make the kinds of trade and visa arrangements with these countries that reflect the interests of the majority of expats, the kind that it should already have had.

It seems clear from noises in the government that the UK's also likely to create a low tax, deregulated environment for technology companies while the EU seems more interested in passing regulations that stifle them. As for public services and infrastructure, there's an eye-watering spending plan for this parliament to rebuild the UK.

Fair enough to anyone that had enough and left for the EU, I understand that completely. But I think long term, some of those same people are going to be quite surprised by how this plays out. I don't think that the UK is circling the drain as per the non-stop media assessment over recent years.

It is very important to be aware that there is no uniform way of counting these COVID-19 deaths.

It is not just Iran.

For example, I believe that Belgium has a very inclusive count (proven or suspected) and other countries count only if proven.

This also means that some countries undercount when they have insufficient testing capacity.

Also, with co-morbidities there is a choice whether to assign the cause of death to these factors or to COVID-19. If someone was dying from lung cancer and also contracted Covid-19 at the end what was the cause of death?

So the rule of thumb is: don’t try to compare numbers between countries.

And also note that in some cases you cannot event compare data locally: for example, in the UK, England and Scotland have different definitions.

The problem is in as much as 50% of the cases, the same deadly virus causes no symptoms in some, so you really don't know if you are asymptomatic because of the strain or your immune system.
The network effects are strong and it is a big hurdle.

The problem is the software isn't just used by one team at one company. Architects hire subconsultants- MEP engineers, Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Landscape designers, Lighting designers, many others. They all need to share files so whatever you make has to be compatible with whatever everyone else is using (which is probably Revit).

There are some competitors like ArchiCAD, which some architects love and swear by, but it is a pain in the ass for their subconsultants to work with them, because the ArchiCAD file has to be converted to a Revit file and this doesn't usually work quite right and of course Autodesk has no incentive to make this easier.

Telegram clients are open source. I downloaded and built MacOS version recently - it was very straightforward.

https://telegram.org/apps#source-code

Encryption for secret chats doesn't involve server, so technically it can be analyzed.

It's a pity Telegram decided to roll their own encryption scheme. I use Telegram a lot for daily business because it's superior desktop messenger product. I would gladly participate if somebody started a crowd-funding for Telegram's security and encryption audit.
Had one of these. All development through Citrix.

The security policy was draconian to the extent I’m sure it was well intentioned but led you to do things in the least secure way possible as it was the only way to complete a contract.

I.e the servers on the other end running Windows 7 (in late 2019) where so old they didn’t have the required cpu instruction set to run some required software. Likewise input lag was extremely noticeable to the point you hit a key, wait one second then press again thinking something went wrong only to have to press delete some seconds later.

How did I deliver that project? Developed on my own local machine, emailed the artifact to the cooperate email address obfuscated, log in to the corporate laptop, then Citrix, ssh the artifact up to the cloud ec2 servers.

That’s another one. The cloud ec2 servers. No public outbound internet, no internal trusted repositories. What was the accepted way of setting up the servers? Going to random internet sites, downloading random binaries to your Citrix account, scp’ing then to the servers. Trying to explain how stupid this is gets no where in organisations with thousands of people. When you mention trusted artifact repositories, immutable / reproducible builds, deployment pipelines the answer was we don’t have this as they didn’t meet security guidelines.

This was a tier 1 bank. Experience is the bigger the company the worse things are due to the size and different teams/departments being so disconnected.
I don't buy the first one about apparent usability.

The claim that better aesthetics are perceived as better usability is based on a 1995 study by Kurosu and Kashimura. The study was done on 156 students of a Japanese design school and 96 students of a Japanese university psychology course.

That's already an over 160% sample bias towards very likely extremely aesthetically-minded people, not to mention that the Japanese have an ancient culture of aesthetics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aesthetics) which in itself renders the study and its conclusions culturally irrelevant to global audiences.

That’s not what it looked like from the outside.

From the outside, Leavers ran the government. Leavers insisted that May was a great negotiator by holding her cards close to her chest (and then fired her ASAP when they saw her cards).

From the outside, Leavers openly told Remainers that Leavers had no reason to compromise with anyone — not the EU, not Remainers, and not each other.

Every time I discussed anything with a Leaver, my concerns were always and without fail dismissed as “Project Fear” — the other party would even say that about the possibility of no deal while saying no deal was their negotiating tactic.

Now, I don’t doubt that you’ve seen some idiots promoting Remain just as I’ve seen idiots promoting Leave — but can you give any example of Leave trying to compromise with Remain?

Not with each other (basically everyone hates what May came up with, Remain and Leave alike), not with the EU, but with Remain?

Yes, but there are also effects of lockdowns, shortened flu season, etc that lower mortality. E.g. Germany has practically zero excess mortality this year (within the usual variation). So people avoiding hospitals also shouldn't be a very large effect, at least over here.

It will be interesting, when it's all over and all numbers are in, to look at the statistics of this.

> Is this the cancel culture apocalypse the right is talking about?

Asking people to not separate the product from the person, and think that the guy does not deserve any praise for his work because of some association with people that disagree with you? Yes, that's cancel culture that (not just) the right is talking about.

Trying to label everyone that holds an opposing view as "hateful" without absolutely no room for dialog? Yes, that's cancel culture that (not just) the right is talking about.

I used to work for The foundry (now foundry.com) Who i believe are the last people to "beat" autodesk at their own game(well discreet).

Autodesk sold Flint/Flame/Inferno, which are high end compositor systems (Think photoshop but for movies) They were expensive bis of kit.

Foundry's nuke is a program that runs on normal workstations and doesn't require any special hardware to run (it also means that it can't run in real time like the Flames could)

What was the secret to Nuke's success? It was cheaper than flame, it was equally as capable, and apple killed Shake. We worked closely with the artists to put in features that wanted. Offered discounts for volume (standard) offered brilliant support[1], and was generally far more responsive than autodesk (who basically only shipped a patch if you were ILM)

Foundry is the incumbent now, and is being eaten by fusion (ironically, considering we pretty much drove them out of buisness)

Utilitarianism and its hard problem of not killing your grandmother if she isn't contributing anymore.

> I cannot understand utilitarians who believe that all of morality should be utilitarian

Nothing to understand in my opinion, they just haven't thought it through. Same thing can be applied to rationalists and romanticists. Doesn't apply to everyone of course.

But intrinsic to utilitarianism is always the question of who the recipient for this utility should be. And it quickly disintegrates before that question in my opinion.

People often ask me if gaining a certification like the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate is enough to get them a job. The short answer is that an AWS certification alone will not get you a job. There are several other attributes that play an essential part in kick-starting your AWS career. I think it’s also fair to say that AWS certifications are almost prerequisites, rather than differentiators today. Unless you have several AWS certifications, this is usually the case. Everyone seems to have their Solutions Architect Associate certification so that’s not going to make you stand out when applying for an AWS Solution Architect job.

And why do ordinary citizens get no representation in world bodies like UN and WHO? The knowledge, understanding and application of politics and human rights apply to each and every person (even sentient being) on earth, yet most of us pursue spend our time only on economic or entertainment and not about the collective course of our species.

>how incredibly far behind software tooling is in other industries.

Every time I think of how great the tools for building software (IDEs, etc.) are, that’s what I think next.

Of course at some point, if the spread of virus is uncontained, the real numbers are going to be much higher than numbers of tests.

If all of the world reached Bergamo stage, there would be no way to test 57% of the world population.

That doesn't mean there are 46 * 18 million cases world wide -- the deaths would be catastrophic world-wide, just like they were in Bergamo.

Another way of using it on Android, is to use USB tethering, while your mobile phone is connected to a Wi-Fi access point. That has worked pretty well for me, I sometimes even use that together with a computer to create a wired network from an access point. It could have worked in GP's case.

hmm, indexing and linking seem intrinsically different from hosting a direct copy of a website.

You request a webpage, the server gives it to you. It seems reasonable that you can then look at it, inspect it, quote it etc. (like a newspaper or a book at the bookstore). But re-hosting the content whole-sale seems quite different?
