Or avoid using Zoom until they've fixed their issues, and have at least some semblance of acting responsibly?

I think the factor you missed in relating anything prior to the Trump era is the fact that Trump is an obvious, completely symptomatic Narcissistic Personality Disorder. When he is back out of politics, watch for the other appointees to not

I think the question that needs to be answered before that is "how do you get people to want to be better informed". If that was already true, there never would have been an Enquirer or Weekly World News.

The reality of that makes my skin crawl. Maybe the only way to get useful code that starts off secure is to start it open source? That way, even if it takes "forever", there's no profit motive or need to rush into adoption..

> Once you get used to one model, is hard to switch to another. So that plays out as "we can never truly trust Zoom to do things right". Sounds exactly like how I feel. Unless Yuan wants to finally say up front "I activel

This list makes me scratch my head... when, ever, would " .google.com" be filtered the same way as " .50million.club" or even "googleads.g.doubleclicj.net"? I understand the header causes logged reports, no act

Zoom has also pulled a lot of shady crap under the hood, so regardless of their 'top dog' status, they are getting called to the carpet to explain and remedy their bs. Articles about factory worker conditions these days are about

Wow. You seriously think I'm that selfish? Or that I'm any less serious about wanting better for everyone even when it's not on this site? I'm not exactly deprived in my 95 percent home situation, but yes I'll give

Of all the different art supplies I've used, I think I like pastels and colored pencils the most. Painting is fun but usually involves more setup than I give myself time for. I think you have a hangup on being 'adultlike' ve

So, forget slowing the epidemic, screw the healthcare workers that'll get the brunt of the caseloads, and the overloaded hospitals, screw the ones who will die in excess of what we can actually prevent, just because you feel it's

Boomers, yes. Fast attack boats are never really underway that long, but they deploy away from home port for 4 - 6 months at a time. I did five deployments in a 54 month sea tour. (My time away from home port was 68+%)

Twenty years later, I still remember that exact smell, so yeah. But I can't say it bothered me any more than walking into other people's houses to their distinct combination of odor. Just very different and something you get used

Actually submarine fleet gets a bit better food than the rest. Toward the end of a long underway, things can get a bit odd, but I was never truly disappointed in the food. You find other escapes - I bought my own laptop at the Exchange and

I didn't have much trouble adapting to underway conditions. But then I've always been somewhat introverted and love hunching over a desk doing projects. Underway was just a bit tighter spaces, flourescent only. Like knowing you w

Anything that increases share values or enriches shareholders is going straight into the hands of the 1%, or the funds that hold huge percentages of the market. It's not going out to be respent.

None of that detail came across in the post i replied to. Yes, given that extra information, i would rescind about 95 percent of my snark.

I forget that many of the people and projects that get mentioned here are here as well. Thanks for a deeper viewpoint! I'll definitely put Chapel on my curious list.

For us non-HPC developers, does it make any sense to dig deeper? I get the feeling there could be some interesting thread/core usage maximisation ideas, or some such, but I've not delved before so I have no frame of reference.

You missed the "HPC" acronym. If you're not in the market to run supercomuting projects, you'll likely never use this language. If you are, there's a very high chance you know about it already. Sharp divide between

Last summer my wife and I took pictures of one in a parking lot in the 3400 block of Avenue of the Cities, Moline, IL... middle of downtown, a mile south of the Mississippi. Did not expect that.
