This doesn’t really conflict with my point. We already know that bad leaders vastly outnumber good leaders. And there are I’m sure plenty of good leaders who haven’t mastered the specific skill of “meeting management”. Again, the video conference simply peels away all the fluff and reveals the meeting for what it is. The hypothetical “good leader” you bring up can just easily invite the right people to a video conference. Hence if the video conference sucks… it’s probably not because you’re not in a room with these people. Perhaps you will be more distracted in a physical meeting and thus less likely to be sufficiently annoyed to consciously ask “wait, why are we even doing any these meetings?”, but it’s not because the meeting was “better” in any meaningful sense. Especially when you consider the well-known psychological effect of leaving a room blanking your mind.
Sure alright
It's not just the meeting itself, it's also a factor of the person. There are people who like to be alone and any meeting is going to be oppressively awful for them. Other people love to be around other people and any meeting no matter how useless is enjoyable for them.

Some on Twitter and Reddit are on full outrage mode because of the Police timid response. They think police are taking the protestors side.
So calls to defund the police, even calls for US to intervene. (literally treason to invite foreign troops into Canada to put down a Canadian protest)
This thing is great at exposing the authoritarian mindset of some people. 3rd year of emergency measures, when government gets called out on it. Their response is to double down and impose even more emergency measures.
That seems to be exactly what he's saying. People here seem to want to make the DA out to be as stupid as the governor or as a malicious person, but based on this statement he didn't actually think he had a case. Saying that something could be argued means that you're coming in with an argument that could be accepted if you overlook all sorts of details and context.

Not even the Viaweb or YC balance sheet?
He invests in seed rounds where those often go down the drain.

The things that matter at this stage are:

Founders and general market size. So sure, ignoring the noise of those two makes sense.
I think they're very useful and applicable. But they are basically irrelevant to evaluating startups for YC. The stage those startups are at, the exact amount of money they have at that given point in time doesn't really affect anything; YC also has a standard "this is the implied valuation we'll fund you at" rather than actually evaluating the details of "what does the business look like now". Similarly, the business plan is also less relevant for evaluating a startup for YC: knowing what the founders are building and how they see it is what's relevant, not the details of market analysis and monetization strategy.

Has anyone tried to deal with meeting attendance inflation with some actual economic scheme? I'm thinking where tokens are distributed and used as payment for someone to attend a meeting. This would force you to think in terms of a budget for how many people-hours of time you are requesting in meetings. Of course management and especially middle management would likely hate this idea but I'm curious if anyone tried it and what the results were.
The thesis of the post is that the communication bandwidth over Zoom is far less than in-person, which I can overall agree with.

India is not in the list. But whatsapp payments are already available in India. So is Facebook pay something very different from whatsapp pay ?

Maybe it's entirely different from UPI based Whatsapp pay.
I think the primary use case is building the same code on multiple platforms. A developer can write a single CMakeFile and then CMake will generate Makefiles/Ninja files/VS soln files/etc depending on the underlying platform.
I think your take is off the mark because I got the same style of "how strange" commentary from different inputs. I said that I'd torture the guy while feeling no moral obligation to do so. The site was equally perplexed about my choices despite me being 100% consistent in the end.

IMO the biggest issue is that the site appears to believe that people only act from obligation. As though nobody ever does anything without feeling obligated. It's an extremely narrow-minded view of action that probably couldn't be farther from the truth if it tried.

Actually... I might start using that...

> Democracy is a superior version of decision making right?

Not always, no. Everything has nuance and context. For example, would you like democracy and voting in the emergency room? While I don't agree with it, China has demonstrated interesting results from non-democratic decision making. Certainly direct democracy does not scale well and would be a terrible idea at out present moment.

Is the country really run with the input of the citizens? What are politicians optimizing for? What are the contents of the policies being passed and what are they based on? Who's actually writing the majority of that? Do all employees have the ability and context to make informed input or decisions? Are there any decisions which will make all people happy? Do all people consider the same acts harmful?

You're not wrong. What's troubling is combining that with information gleaned from from the "social graph" as well as well as all the surveillance Facebook does via its web trackers. I'd rather this stuff be stored in different silos by different competitors than centralized in one place.

Obviously native does better but people are not writing native apps and if we have to put up with that, it seems time to hold those packaged web apps to some basic standards.

Hot take: conference calls are superior to zoom meetings in every way, because they don’t give you the false sense of presence. Everyone else is a disembodied voice, and you don’t have any option of pretending otherwise so you have to figure out how to understand and be understood without the benefit of your other senses. Also, longwindedness is, in my experience, much more difficult because people that like to talk a little too much don’t get the feedback of head nods and smiles, so they tend to get to the point.

You will get wildly varying views here, note taking is hugely subjective.

As for myself, I like note taking apps that provide a frontend to a file system, that gets then exposed either directly (editing the contents of an actual folder on a device) or indirectly (syncing with a cloud storage service, preferably third party). While this has some inherent limitations (like on file names and possible hardship to add per-note features) it has also great possibilities for integrations with other workflows and tools of the user.
Alright, I've thought about this some more and I think I want to repost in future to make it really obvious the value to developers. Here's my current todo list:

- [ ] solve the meta bug

- [ ] ensure Flash works but disable secure doc viewer (with a note 'available in Pro')

- [ ] use docker single file scale server with simple AUTH

- [ ] create a "code <-> result" demo where people can see how to use an iframe to embed this.

- [ ] set options (like max-tabs, display Chrome UI, etc, allow sound, allow devtools, allow flash, allow chat, allow cobrowsing, allow sound) via environment variable

- [ ] basic co-browsing indicator of other users (circle highlights on pointer)

- [ ] make demos live for only 5 minutes (docker stop / kill)

- [ ] show an "API integration" where you can "fully script" the browser using puppeteer etc

- [ ] new static landing page. repost "X-FRAME"

- [ ] make it also work via a custom element (x-frame sandbox="co-browsing") etc

- [ ] show API for "record of interactions"

- [ ] show API for "record of screenshots"

- [ ] also custom VF options like: stop frames, start frames, resize, new tab, close tab, open devtools.

- [ ] marketing copy: "x-frame - unrestricted embedding; a super iframe; embed any web content with a super iframe; scriptable remote browser isolation; drop-in full featured web-proxy right in your web client"

- [ ] expose the puppeteer API right on the x-frame itself or in the JavaScript, so like from the client you can call: "selectorGet" or whatever the fuck and you get a result. Nice!

- [ ] enable option to kill browser when a client has disconnected (no websocket, for more than 60 seconds).

this is all about pitching developers to ensure they like it.

- include minor section on caveats but be really specific like: "when you use the built-in remote devtools front-end (screenshot) right now it only works on Chrome reliably, and Firefox to some extent, while Safari has multiple bugs which make many DevTools features unusable...but cross browser devtools front end is actively being worked on and the Chrome team support its eventual inclusion in a future version of chrome."

- also -- pricing: I think "pay per session" is a good idea. Or "Pay per total booked time." is a good idea.

- how about i also reach out to people who have reached out to me before about this and tell them about the HN post:

B**, D**, S**, R**, A**, N**, M***, etc

I've used CMake for a number of larger projects. When you start having to deal with external dependencies or cross platform support it definitely fills in some of the holes in the C-style build ecosystems

One of the things I've never been a fan of is that for whatever reason, the build steps that you see in basically every project are:
- mkdir ./build
- cd ./build
- cmake configure ../
- make build

The WWI theme really ties into an idea I'd like to tie in. So I've been working on working on this language. It's not quite a programming language, and its not quite a spoken language. Its main purpose is to both define, and be a medium of negotiation, within the board game of Diplomacy. This project started out as a computer assistant for making strategies and viewing game trees. When I started, I had this notion of physical objects such as units and the map as well as a notion of game states and this concept that the game tree would be nodes of game states connected by sets of orders. All standard object-oriented thinking.

As my implementation went on, I noticed more and more redundancy and unnecessary layers of abstraction. Now I'm at a point where a "game state" isn't necessary at all as the entire game can be defined in terms of rules for matching current orders against previous orders. In other words, the state of the world is just lists of facts and lists of facts is all there is to the world.

Previous comment about SR, although GR is a natural extension of SR for non-inertial reference frames.

> Moreover, interpretation of Michelson-Morley experiment as «it proves that physical vacuum does not exist» is frivolous.

The interpretation of it is that it proves the constancy of the speed of light. This is the case whether SR is assumed or Lorentz ether theory. The two theories result in identical predictions, except LET assumes the existence of an ether but without any way of detecting it.

> So, Michelson-Morley experiment confirmed that physical vacuum is dragged with Earth, and then Michelson–Gale–Pearson experiment confirmed that it is not completely dragged by Earth.

Michelson-Morley rules out a stationary ether, at least without length contraction which Lorentz added to attempt to repair the theory. Michelson-Gale-Pearson rules out ether drag. SR and LET are compatible with both experiments. Whether or not the ether is real is philosophical quibbling without a method for separating LET from SR.

This is one of the predictions of GR, so I'm not sure what your point here is.

The Higgs field, just like other fields in quantum field theory, is a relativistic field; its Lagrangian is Lorentz-invariant.
