>Hi guys, I am part of the team working on all things T2.

So there is a team working on this? What is the incentive model? Are you paid to do this work? What is the revenue model?

I woke up today learning my MacBook Pro is now substantially less secure but why? So I can run games on the touch bar? So I can use the T2 as a raspberry pi?

This is so spot on. My family tech support goes EXACTLY like this. Once I get them to actually articulate the issue I usually just google it and after I help them I send them the google search.

Is it April 1st already?

Good book - recommended sci fi if you are into that sort of thing.

> ... can a democracy with no independent, local press be considered a democracy still?

Expanding this question: can a country where the government lies to its citizens, and withholds information from the press, and actively seeks to discredit news sources critical of it be considered a democracy?

If citizens cannot be informed they cannot make rational, democratic decisions.

>Agreed. I saw it as a general lament against over-engineering. I don't think the point got lost in the super specific example...

Redis also comes to mind.

That is brilliant. Thanks mate.

Can someone comment on Blunt vs. Tailwind?

It might be an interesting question to ask why bootstrap couldn’t be mostly classless. I remember learning Bootstrap and thinking it was silly I had to add class=table to a table.

I don’t think “===“ means what you think it means.

I wonder why everyone believes so strongly we will create a viable vaccine.

The FDA has never approved a vaccine for humans that is effective against any member of the coronavirus family, which includes SARS, MERS, and several that cause the common cold.

If political pressure/regulatory relaxation allows a vaccine to enter the market I would be suspicious of its efficacy.

This is the right question to ask. The majority of Bootstrap should work fine.

“ The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.“

- George Orwell, 1984

Zoom deserves a lot of animosity for its privacy issues like sharing data with Facebook.

On the other hand I am mystified by all the security hype. Yes I might be able to guess a Zoom meeting ID, just as if I might guess your phone number and prank call you. In a Zoom meeting you can see who is connected. In the old days of conference calls do you remember asking “who’s on the line?”. What are you talking about that requires encryption?

If so there are tools for that - signal, etc.

Title should be “The rise of fact checking”

So very well said.

> Cop directing traffic by hand at an intersection.

That’s going to be really challenging. Good one!

Thanks for that. Law firms have a document management system. You will no longer work there if you don’t use it. Companies use email and SharePoint primarily, maybe OpenText. There are specialized contract management system available but not everyone in the company will use or have access to them. Hence SharePoint is a good default.

This! I am highly interested if anyone has any suggestions.

More than possible. Highly likely.

AWS just introduced Kendra to do the same thing. They will likely suffer the same concerns. Google had a search appliance that I thought was a brilliant idea but never got much traction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search_Appliance

Express server, React client, Typescript. Not exactly modern (expressjs came out in 2010) but a good "all js" simple architecture.

Can you share more information about how you created an HTTP endpoint? Or code? Glancing at the docs I only saw a command line or C bindings.

Like many of the commenters I heavily used asterisk 10 years ago. Seeing comments like “can’t believe it’s still around” leads me to believe something better came along. Did something better come along? I’d like to play around with something new. Ps - still running my home PBX on Asterisk/FreePBX.

Can someone explain the DDG business model? How does this company make money? How am I as a user being monetized? At least I understand Google’s approach.

Cost, quality, and speed. Pick any two. You can’t have all three. There are several modes of delivery. Some projects have fixed delivery dates because it’s externally imposed. For example a regulatory requirement. Some are internally imposed - an executive imperative. Projects with fixed dates need dedicated resources and a highly functional scope management process. Others are “innovation/exploratory”. For example “let’s build a bitchen website”. What does that mean? What is the definition of done? This requires an agile, “integrate until we are satisfied or run out of funding” project that may or may not have dedicated resources.

No matter what, in a corporate environment you will need to be accountable to cost, which is simply humans * time. So some type of estimate will be needed.
