Purely speculative, if you wanted to develop a functionality where Zoom could auto detect any sound other than your voice and mute it, where would you start form a cutting edge tech standpoint? Just curious if we are on a path where there’s tech which could hypothetically allow you to watch a movie or something over webcam, live with another person but only pick up your voice

Discord just added this functionality, it’s not the best and degrades mic quality but it seems like a good start.

Yup had read about Discord destroying sound quality but it’s super interesting.

I know there’d be a whole host of variables - microphone, internet connect, having to be able to discern between a users vocal frequency and background sound. I just wanted to see if the technology exists to even have a hypothetical solution

It’s just reverse Siri. You could write an Apple script for it. Unless it detects your voice, stay on mute. Obviously some tweaking is needed but that is the easiest place to start. If the sound is coming from the device itself, it’s even easier to isolate for your voice since it knows exactly what to ignore.

It’s just called voice detection

A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation. (The attorney was drinking alcohol during the Zoom mediation and settled for far less than she estimated she would get.) [continued below]

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day? My employer wants everything answered within 24 hours but in reality responses need to be made almost immediately. This makes getting back on task and being productive almost impossible when there are constant interruptions. Any advice on this or asking for accommodations? I think my best option is to change jobs.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

I recently got laid off and it’s been so hard to find a recruiting/sourcing role that’s not for a staffing agency. Anyone know who’s hiring or any slack channels that might be helpful?
