> How does signaling between clients work? Is this going to a server you control?

Yes, this is going to my own signaling server. No way around that. The signalling logic is very minimal though and no audio or video data touches the signalling server.

> And what about encryption, is that enforced by WebRTC per se?

In WebRTC, all communication between peers is encrypted once the connection has been established.

> Lastly, are you routing calls through TURN servers if NAT tunneling with STUN/ICE fails, or always?

I do have one TURN server based in SF in case STUN/ICE fails , yes. If I see a lot of usage in other geographies, we'll probably deploy more in different regions.
Again you are arguing against a case that has not been made. A straw-man.

There were consequences for the Challenger disaster - there was a full, televised enquriy. Feynman was there. That's a pretty deep and expensive consequence. Obviously NASA differs from Paypal. Beyond that I'm pretty sure those involved would feel consequence about their colleagues having died. Total sociapathy at that level is relatively rare in my experience. This is a quite different thing to make peace with to screwing some very small percentage of customers.

To apply exactly what I said to _this_ case the consequences are: Estimate the loss to this person, 10k seems like a reasonable liberal guesstimate but yes, actual data would be better to get a harder number. Paypal pay her $100k as compensation. She's happy and paypal have a cost function to optimise sesibly. That's a start on proper incentive.

Then if they do it more than N times then they're not taking the consequences seriously and they are only optimising that cost function considering breach as merely a business expense with no regard for ruining people. Someone needs to have a real, non-financial consequence for making a decision like that wittingly or unwittingly. The CEO is good because the buck stops there. It's his or her job to make sure that kind of "we'll screw over this many people because it's in our financial interests not to fix that" does not happen.

Now we can discuss what the value of N should be. Should it be 10, 100, 1000? What should constitute a breach?

Nowhere is a guillotine part of this. I can't actually see /anything/ you've argued a part of this.

I see the outraged comments as being yours. You seem utterly outraged at my holding an opinion I do not hold and did not advance.
I wonder if there just stopped being interesting questions to answer. I remember him saying somewhere that he got a lot of questions that read as if the asker was trying to create a specific answer.
On a flight from Toronto to the US... I don't think I interact with the TSA at all? I interact with Canadian security in Canada. I interact with US border control in Canada. I walk out the front door in the states without interacting with security at all.

I could be wrong about the agencies that some of the people I interact with work for though.
I remember at some point a few years ago realizing that “hey, I’m more nervous, hassled, scrutinized and having my privacy compromised entering the USA than mainland China”.

That change happened in not that many years. And it is not to say that China improved in any significant manner.

It’s been a couple of years pre-COVID that I now avoid (and haven’t been) traveling to or through the USA, a country Ive always otherwise enjoyed my stay in.
The "HCQ doesn't work"-narrative is entirely political, not scientific.

The original "quack treatment", which is prophylactic zinc+HCQ (as an ionophore) for at-risk groups, has never been shown to be ineffective in an RCT. It is still being studied.

Of course the studies that show it to be effective aren't of the best quality, but they aren't entirely meaningless either.
What a toxic comment. He is simply referring to the technical difficulty associated with darker skin tones. Of course we should strive for making it applicable for everyone. Sometimes physiological variations get into play; sometimes this means a method isn't adequate, or you can use different methods for different persons.
Thanks. I do not have experience with Room, but I usually prefer to control and know what is happening in my schema.

For example, if your schema is automatically handled, how do you both rename and change the type of a column without losing data? Would it perform a delete and a create?
Any examples of the CDC, FDA, or NIH statements telling us that vitamins have zero effect on COVID? I’d also be interested in statements from the WHO, but that one I wouldn’t be at all surprised by.

Sure, I've developed React apps since it first appeared, and hooks I find to be by far the most intuitive API. They work closer to how I understand React to work internally, with minimal boilerplate. The things I find annoying about React were an annoyance before hooks (mainly to do with async). I find the code written with hooks cleaner, easier to read and write, less ceremony, less repetition, easier to test.

I realise some people don't like this API, find hooks unintuitive. But a huge amount of people like the hooks API and prefer it over the class-based one. It's not just a fad, it's just a nice API, it works pretty well.
How about a technical support role? You still get to solve technical problems and you're helping/interacting with customers directly without being responsible for shipping new features or fixing production downtime incidents.
I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of ad-based apps (without IAP of some kind) make less than $0.50 lifetime revenue on average from 90+% of users. Some quick checking suggests that the median total revenue for most apps is close to $0. Most apps would probably win out if they said "turns out ads don't work, would you be willing to pay $0.99". Even if they lost users, they'd gain revenue.

Whenever an unsustainable free service comes out on HN, and it's something people actually want, there's often a comment saying "this seems unsustainable, so I don't think I can count on it; please let us pay you". The same thing applies to apps.
We have many proven solutions to the climate disaster, including, carbon tax, renewable energy, cleaner and more efficient infrastructure, telecommuting, international agreements, etc.

Going after a single unproven solution (yes this includes non-existing types of nuclear energy too) is just magic at this point and it doesn’t work.
This was presumably done a while ago, when hospitals were trying all sorts of weird things.

There are already subsidies which incentivize the production of cattle. Just like with corn, if demand goes down, they'll just find a way to use cattle for something else (like turning it into feed or some energy source). The average citizen has very say in macro-economic supply chains.
Reading the op's post and your reply, I can only come up with two possible conclusions:

1. The op is lying about his experience.

He states he answered NO to question 2, which is what you claim to be looking for. Unless his answer to question 1 was "Work for Optimizely" (which, I guess, someone might say, maybe) then I don't see how you get a contradiction. By your logic, he would have been a hire.

2. The recruiter lied to him about why he was rejected.

Maybe everyone got a short sit down with the CEO back then and he took that to mean he passed all the other interviews? Maybe something else didn't check out and that was an easy way to let him down?

Anyway, if you're A/B testing, wouldn't you hire people regardless of their answers and then assess their performance over a longer timeframe to determine the efficacy of the questions and answers?
Because that 860 page report was written by his team to exonerate themselves and their allies and blame their rivals and whistleblowers because the party were being investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, an independent investigation still in progress

Irrespective of the merits of the claims made in the report - itself the subject of further independent investigation and lawsuits filed by people criticised in it - it's not something which would have been written if things were going well.
It also helps to not be running a reactor based on designs from the 1950s and then decades later ignore all the known potential problems.
It could be. The absence of news of an investigation is not proof of an absence of the investigation itself.

People like to harp on equal enforcement, but equal doesn't mean simultaneous, and realistically speaking the DOJ is not some infinitely funded organization with prosecutors growing on trees.
Shouldn't it be off by default?
Against a securely generated password in password manager? No. The only real advantage I can think of is ergonomics: you can safely reuse a public key/certificate across multiple hosts, and even if one of them becomes compromised, your key isn't.
I agree with most of what you said, but that still doesn't adress my original criticism of the comment. It's just that I just can't see the parallel between the structure of the IRI and that of the Soviet Union. They're only really similar in that they are dictatorships by a ruling class, but the Soviet system is seriously much more flexible, capable of reform, and unlike the Iranian system in theory and in a world free of corruption, would actually be fully reformable by the people, and indeed was in the end - see Gorbachev, much to the willingness of the people. Whereas the Iranian system fundamentally is unreformable and has little pretense of democracy.

Actually, did the Iranian Revolutionaries really copy the structure of Iran, I'd bet Iran would be in a much better position right now - either similar to China, or much more democratic.

And yes, a big criticism I have of the Arab left too is their almost delusional characterization of Islam, but I digress.

Also, I was unsure which way the substitution was going, which is why I also made the other criticism, but now I can see clearly that you meant that the IRI is based on Plato's idea in the Republic, which I can see is defensible.
After 40 years in the software biz I can tell my energy and memory aren’t what they once were. But that’s been more than offset by my experience. I can look at problems and recognize and solve them in minutes while the 20-somethings try to figure out where to start. When everything is new it feels exciting. I don’t get excited over languages or tech stuff anymore, but I do enjoy solving customer problems.

I also make a lot more money now than when I was younger, even adjusting for inflation, and I work about half the hours I used to. I can get more done in less time because I rarely encounter a novel problem (in typical business apps and web sites, anyway). I see the same problems over and over with different clothes on.

> Last year, the drug was handed out freely, with very little worry, to anybody claiming that they would visit a country with malaria.

Well, for a start, no it wasn't (many if not most malarial areas mostly have resistant strains, and other drugs are more appropriate there). But anyone who was given it was warned beforehand (or at least should have been). It's not a safe drug. It is, however, safer than getting malaria, so you should probably take it if you're going to an area where it will be effective.

What you should probably not do is take it because a weird French doctor and some people on the internet said to.
As a counterpoint I have come across lots of software that is only developed for one platform and unfortunately I haven't been able to use it.
Sometimes the difference between a 3mb or 300mb install file is worth it if it means that the software is available to more users. In that sense it can be in the user's interest.

Like you say, it's the Atlantic, not a scientific journal. I prefer to say "not terribly useful or accurate" rather than "not science".
Also one of the easiest to suffer impostor syndrome at. Even if you are a good engineer, there are people better than you at Google.

I have seen people get PIPped or even fired at Google. You basically have to do no work for an extended period of time (6-12 months) - or alternatively, there's the "gross misconduct" route, where you leak confidential info, insinuate that your coworkers are no good at their jobs, cause a media firestorm, or write long screeds on eng-misc about how Google management is a bunch of sociopaths. Doing no useful work for 12 months is not enough to get you fired - you just won't get promoted, until you find a team whose projects don't get canceled. Doing less work than your coworkers will not get you fired - remember that some of your coworkers are superhuman, so you're almost guaranteed to be less productive than some of them. In general, a good-faith effort to learn Google's systems, align yourself with the goals of your manager and higher-ups, and contribute productively will let you keep your job.

May want to start looking around for another manager while putting in that good-faith effort, though. Your manager sounds a little insecure about his own position, which can make things unpleasant for you.
Working solo. If I could maintain some servers or gear in a remote location or something, that would be perfect.
I think that's a valid opinion.

But, I do think that users do notice the difference. I think you're right that they'll "feel" an application hogging their CPU more than they'll feel one doing so with memory, but they can tell when an application is faster/slower. I think this is especially true with video calling.

So the bet is not su much that you're open up Activity Monitor and track CPU or memory, but rather that you'll "feel" how the app does perform better. And yes, I could be totally wrong about it!

All that being said, Watercooler definitely has a long way to go when it comes to this. There's a bunch of stuff I plan to do in order to improve performance.
Friends, there is a solution!

Schools don't teach us how to read and process information objectively but hopefully your first history professor explained that historical bias and bias in writing well...is human and old as history itself. Embrace it!

That would require at least a retry, which might fail if the sender also has a spotty connection. One of WhatsApp's main deliverables is reliable service over bad connections.
I agree with most complaints about them getting teens hooked, but I hope they stick around for adult smokers. The sensation of the Juul device was good enough to for me to completely stop smoking, where box mods failed. So I still had a nic addiction but without the awful lung health. Unfortunately since the SF ban, I have gone back to a pack a day, since I have no car to drive out of SF and public transport has shut down. Thanks sf :)
Nothing about that suggests exclusive access; it's entirely circumstantial, however extremely likely that it was used by Russian agents.

That said, it's plainly possible to be synthesized by other countries—because it has been.

It's sort of like being hacked from a Russian IP address.
Yeah, Skia itself has multiple backends, including CPU and GPU implementations. The wasm one must use the CPU path, where Skia in your browser can use a CPU or GPU path based on whatever is fastest. So already wasm is necessarily equal-or-slower.

Wasm also does have some overhead too; some of that will get better with upcoming changes; at least wasm-SIMD support and threads are both only available in some environments.

But don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not suggesting the skia-wasm project is pointless, there's just trade-offs here.
> expanding lists of column names

I am not sure about what do you mean here?

> dealing with casing (snake_case to camelCase)

This is one of the opinionated parts of kiss-orm I guess, because I specifically do not want to implement this.

I think having consistency in the naming of the properties/columns is more important. I would rather break the naming convention by having snake_case properties than automagically rename properties.

No proper trial has shown any positive effect. At this point "don't know but probably not, and it's not risk-free" is probably a reasonable description.

Why not avoid VPN and fully embrace the end-to-end ideology – only authenticate against services, never against networks. Abolish private networks! :P
Just curious... how does that remove credibility? Seems logical to put that option in one global place for the OS. Individual apps from the App Store don't have access at that level so there's no way they could give it the same priority. The only alternative I can see is if iOS has some way to set options per developer and that seems like a silly thing.
Windows has a services abstraction though I'm admittedly not very familiar with it.

Such a strange virus. I’m 34, just found out I have the antibodies. At no point in the last 7 months did I feel the slightest bit sick at all. So I guess I’m just one of the lucky ones, or it was a false positive. Hope you continue to heal and get back to normal soon!
I work for a financial company and see the same. Viability is the big thing. I'm also a mid-level dev. At least you should be making double what I do. I even had a manager tell me that not everyone has the potential to be more than a mid-level dev - guess he was right.
Actually there is some data surfacing and so far it's indicating as much as 1/3 of people have lingering effects - even of those who did not develop symptoms - and some percentage of those will be permanent. You are actually the one spreading misinformation here by saying there is no data. We all wish there was higher quality data, but it's definitely not no data.
Vitamin C is listed as fake news on WHO. Fact checker sites listed vitamin D as false, then switched to correct after research. Doctors, journalists, and health experts in Brazil and the Netherlands chided social media for not removing "fake" info on vitamin supplements.

GitLab earned their market position by offering free private repos.

I have pretty bad allergies to most pets and never grew up with them and find them. Apart from the itching and eczema, I don't really feel like I'm in a home when pets are around. For others though, I think it's the complete opposite. It must be with what we grow up with.
