Thanks!

> However, as far as I can tell, you only support application updates, not OS-level updates.

For now this is true. People using Deviceplane today upgrade their underlying OS via the mechanism provided by their distro. On Debian-based systems this means running something like `apt-get dist-upgrade`. Deviceplane provides the tools to rollout this upgrade across your devices, but we're not hands-on past that.

We do have plans to support OS-level updates, but for now we're specializing in just updating applications and letting the underlying distro handle updating itself.

> Another concern is pricing. $5/device/mo is probably fine for enterprise, but that can be 100% of revenue for many consumer devices. Since you’re open source, we could always self-host, but I’m curious if you have any plans to for more B2C-friendly pricing.

Our pricing isn't actually $5/device/mo! This would be quite expensive. Our team plans starts at $250 per month, but pricing doesn't scale linearly past that. We're still exploring different pricing schemes for Deviceplane, but we do know that having the same per-device rate for B2B and B2C will likely not work.
It works as long as you add the second credential before losing access to the first.
I wonder how much those problems are related to the design of the OS or to commercial strategies.

I am under the impression to have a well designed base layer and apps. Then if I want anything more or different, I can use other apps that are secondary citizens with each their own isolated subscription/cloud/format strategy.

The ecosystem of free apps that you can find on desktops (mac, windows, linux) of reliable text editors, command line tools, syncing software ... seems to be missing.
Defense in depth of the vulnerable. Being a trusted contact at financial institutions and having access and authority to screen and monitor calls are also components.

Conservatives discount stories like this. That's because they believe the natural world is such that it is impossible for the unregulated operations of the free market change nature in ways that would be harmful to the human race.
NVMe is always electrically PCIe and always M.2 or PCIe card form factor for PC users. If it’s 2.5” it’s 100% SATA. If it’s M.2 then 50:50.

Idk but what I’ve heard is anecdotal small files I/O and boot time speed up stories so webdevs might appreciate it on next builds. The premium is dropping fast anyway.

Docker images are designed for minimal artifact transport while avoiding the need for assembly from source at the edge. If anyone is pushing around 1GB images for iterative deployments they might be able to do better with a few tweaks to their image structure and delivery pipeline.

> How about $10-13k in fees / mandatory education classes for a DUI in California? That is pretty punitive AND crippling.

Slate Star Codex talks about that in their Moloch article. Long story short, no politician can be for the reduction of these sorts of things. The first one that tries will be lambasted in public when someone who did less fees or less 'for-profit training' has another bender and kills little Timmy.

Sentencing will always go up, unless acted upon by actors who aren't subject to voting forces. So will fees and fines and plenty of other torturous actions.

> Unfortunately the comments include a lot of casual racism against Indians, with little awareness of the structural conditions causing these scammers to exist.

Thank you for this. It's easy to say "they" when referring to a particular race or group of people that happen to be dealt the cards in life such that they end up doing this.

Sadly those who take on this work are many times themselves in an even worse situation and many put their blinders on when scamming others because there's nothing else or left for them.

Thanks, Evan, Max, you guys rock! Sometimes I forget how many people I know that read HN.
We order a lot online. I can't even count how many times we get notified of a delivery via the app, but it is nowhere. A day or three later is when it actually shows up on our door. When we've complained, we've been told to wait a day or three. Sometimes the notification comes in a day late too. So a door camera helps us know when to look out for a delivery for realzies. Oh, and if a neighbor drops by while we are out, we can chat real quick over the door camera.
The spoofed caller ID thing really needs to be fixed. Our office number ends in a nice round number XXX-XXX-8000 and several times a day we get calls back saying "WHY DID YOU JUST CALL ME" and they don't believe me when I tell them we didn't and somebody's spoofing caller id. Spoofing Caller ID to someone else's number shouldn't be possible. (But it's very easy. I can enter any phone number I want in our phone system here!)
At our price range (most invoices are $10k-$50k and in the US), we generate and send invoices from Xero, our accounting software. Customers can pay via check, wire, ACH or Credit Card, and they typically do checks or ACH. For additional context: we automate customer service for ecommerce companies in the 50-500 employee range. Payment methods vary depending on the company size, localization, sector, payment size, etc.
This comment has somehow sparked an idea in me...
I, too, dug into computers as a child (now a teen). But I got my first computer (a Chromebook) in 5th grade.

Perhaps not having computers (or tech in general) as a child causes an enlarged interest when given access to computers?
I work as a care giver was in washroom with a slightly demented client and the phone rang. She asked me to get it as she could not get up quickly. It was of course Microsoft Support. This lady has never owned a computer and I knew right away scam. I said “you piece of shit scum of the earth” and before I could finish he says “oh shit” and hung up on me. Luckily this lady has no access to credit cards or money but if she did she would be the perfect victim. Easy to fool and no way to tell you how it all happened. I normally act highly professional speaking on other people’s phones but in this instance I knew it was for sure a scam and really hoped by showing I knew exactly what they were they would not waste time calling back.
> Like isn't streaming music based on preferences pretty easy?

That must be why Spotify constantly fills my once useful “discover weekly” feed with what I would describe as “Ambient Indian Buddhist Trip-Hop”. Not really what I wanted at all. Though this week it seems to be “Ambient Irish Bagpipe”, which is also not at all what I wanted.

So, no... I think Spotify has a long ways to go to learn how to give me what I want...
keycloak is really awesome. This also makes sure when you move to any other oAuth2 authentication, we can simply switch the server details.

On the other hand firebase authentication is very scalable easy to set up and start.

You're supposed to get the bleach out of the water before you drink it, although I guess that may be tricky if you're short on supplies! Also, if you're using massive quantities like capfuls, it might take too long; normally you only need a few drops, less than a milliliter ("a quarter teaspoon", in medieval units), which will outgas from the water in a few hours if you leave it standing. Hydrogen peroxide will neutralize (normal hypochlorite) bleach in water, but you have to be careful not to add it in excess, because drinking hydrogen peroxide is just as bad as drinking bleach.

I agree, filters are great for water. But bleach is also useful for sterilizing laundry, cleaning floors, sterilizing cloth to be used for wound dressing, deodorizing garbage cans, killing mildew, and so on. Its use in making contaminated water potable is the most important for human survival in emergencies, but its variety of other uses were the reason I suggested bleach specifically.
I am also holding on to mine, and it is my primary machine even though we have newer MacBooks in the house.

We didn't get an activation fee from T-mobile. We also didn't swap the sim.
The camera still has to run for that to work, unless you're also going to power a separate motion sensor and/or a small computer to handle automating the recording; all of this just decreases how long the battery lasts.
Fair. Still a central point of failure, but not much (any?) worse than the alternatives.

I honestly can’t tell if this comment is supposed to be satire. The quality of your product has a direct impact on ARPC, customer churn, LTV, sales conversions, customer engagement/feature usage, SLA reports, roadmap progress, competitor analysis, and many other metrics. Most, if not all of those metrics will be featured in quarterly reports. I’m getting the very strong impression that most of the commenters in this thread have absolutely no insight at all into how businesses or their management actually operate.

Yeah, it really feels like history repeating. For those who don't remember:

"Mozilla Messaging (abbreviated MoMo) was a wholly owned, for-profit subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation. ... Its main focus was developing Mozilla Thunderbird, the e-mail client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. It was spun off from the Mozilla project in 2007; on 4 April 2011, it was merged into the Mozilla Labs group of the Mozilla Corporation." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Messaging)

Everything dies. As long as it is ethical and not torture, I don't see an issue with fishing. Veganism lowers the brainpower output of a human enough to make the overall output works integral substantially impacted. That brainpower lost could be used to alleviate animal suffering like AI models substituting animal testing, etc etc. I personally am using my brain power to create Roylent. It'll solve our food crisis without any plant or animal deaths. Contact me if you are a VC/Angel interested in funding the revolution in eco/carbon friendly, suffering free food.
You definitely need a model of the world, but you probably don't want to be constructing it during speech. What you want is a generative model that you've trained on the simulation data ahead of time so you can quickly make inferences once deployed.

1. No, chlorine is still widely used on processed poultry in the U.S. The latest data from the National Chicken Council suggests that it's used in around 10% of chicken processing facilities. This is not a small amount of chicken.

2. There is no evidence that the absence of antimicrobial treatment of chicken carcasses yields "measurably worse health outcomes", as you say. Data collected by USDA and the UK's Food Standards Agency use different criteria for their respective streams, and thus can't offer definitive conclusions, but there don't appear to be large differences in contamination between the American and British systems.

@atoav's comment accurately conveys the official position of EU and UK trade and food safety agencies. I see nothing here to indicate that you have any better understanding of the topic than @atoav.
It's interesting that there's been no similar objection to directional phase-array audio weapons that are easily capable of deafening people.

Floppy disks are terrible. In NOR you can clear a single bit, and how long does that take? The least you can write to a floppy is a whole sector, normally 512 bytes, and the seek time is close to a million microseconds, although the actual sector write time is... well, maybe less than a hundred thousand microseconds. And they make a racket when you do it, too. And write endurance? Floppy disks have write endurance of about 1000 cycles.

Their only benefit is that you can take one out and put a different one in. But that means the software can't use a write-back cache and can't start writing to the disk except in response to an explicit user action that the user expects to initiate a write; otherwise you run the risk that the disk drive will be opened in the middle of the write.

Anyway, there were assemblers that you could fit on a single-sided, single-density, soft-sectored 5¼" disk along with your source code, object file, and "operating system", all in 90K. But things became a lot more practical if you could move up to a dual-drive, double-density system, so you could access two 180K disks at a time.

If there was some way to run a reasonable subset of CP/M programs on them, even if it required some hacking of the programs, that would be a significant benefit. I need to think about the problem more.

Maybe I'm wrong about Tmobile, I can't find anything via searching about it, but Verizon and ATT of course charge it. I thought I had heard Sprint and Tmobile do too since the SIM comes with the phone and they have an excuse to charge, but they might be nicer than Verizon and ATT.
Is there any legal precedent for a retailer being held accountable for the products they sell. Enough to sway decision making at the C-Level? Perhaps we're one Home Depot or one Lowe's away from "Sorry. We're not going to sell these type of products." A massive return of unsold product could crush a young company. If CVS can stop selling cigarettes, perhaps others might follow but in a different way.
Gee I am glad there is a presidential election coming up so that they are actually dealing with this. For the last several years robocalls have gotten so bad that I have stopped answering my phone for numbers that are not in my address book and now I have to ask anyone that is planning to call me for their phone number so that I know to answer.

And these have been illegal the entire time. It is not like they had to pass any laws about it or anything. They just had to get off their buts and enforce the laws.

> they claim that you can run D without a GC (the new), but apparently a good chunk of the stdlib requires the GC (the old), so you're stuck.

The intent isn't to turn off the GC completely (though GC-averse folks assume that it is). The `@nogc` function attribute is intended to be applied where you need it. Then you can guarantee that in that function's call stack, no language features that require the GC will be used.

The standard library has been retrofitted to eliminate use of the GC where it isn't needed and provide alternatives where possible (such as a function that takes a buffer as an argument alongside one that allocates). There may still be places where it can be trimmed down even more, but it will never be fully `@nogc` compatible.

D is meant to be used with the GC, but provides the means to avoid allocations, turn collections on/off (`GC.disable/enable`) and command line options for profiling GC usage and affecting its behavior. Anyone who wants to turn off the GC completely is going beyond the primary intended use case and is of course going to run into bumps with the standard library. Much of it is still usable, though.

See https://dlang.org/blog/the-gc-series/
They could just solicited donations of programming books for prison libraries. There are a few million prisoners in America, getting one programing book for every ten prisoners would only mean a few hundred thousand books. I'm sure that many could be scrounged up. That's really not that many books in the grand scheme of things. And for such a worthy cause, I'm sure you wouldn't have trouble finding people to donate a book.
I did not say it was related to memory corruption. I said Go would be much safer than C (and it would be). When you remove an entire class of bugs, you can focus on other things... such as sound logic.

Ah, I see it - watching on tick/setImmediate for functions that take too long. Nice!

No, not US specific. I see some of sellers in my country includes stickers or keychains just to change ASIN.

One aspect is that not everything has counterfeit counterparts, e.g. there is no counter-counterfeit to, specific counterfeits, products that require exotic parts, or foods.

I’ve never seen a 4-cell(Lipo) knockoff battery for Lenovo X200 and I know the reason is because it is not easily possible to source appropriate components.

Yes. Generational trends are like a pendulum. They swing. This year's "We don't care" is next year's "No way man." The safest route is respecting privacy. A reputation as a violator won't be easy to shake.
Enter the lobbyists... Because of the recent creation of the political class in modern democracies, where people are able to now become career politicians rather than common people who make the sacrifice of leaving their jobs temporarily to serve the people.

It has empowered corporations with the ability to corrupt politicians who are more concerned with getting re-elected rather than protecting the people they represent.

Just look at how difficult it is to get a lable put on food containing GMO products and you will see how bad things still are.

Yes there is no longer chalk and formaldehyde in milk, or milk from cows eating spent mash, but what about steroids, antibiotics, peticide laden grains and gmo crops?

There is still a very long way to go, and until holding political office becomes a noble sacrifice rather than something to aspire to, change will be very difficult if not impossible.
Aha, Baker and Hewitt, 1977. I didn't realize Friedman had defined "promises" in 1976; I wonder if they're the same as E promises? (Which are almost precisely the same as ECMAScript promises.)

I was terribly remiss not to mention Dojo, a popular JS toolkit which got its promises from Twisted, which of course got them from E, though Twisted modified them a bit. I don't know how it slipped my mind.
Why? The US has the prime responsibility for enforcing US laws. And the US also has plenty of control over the calls, because they have to go through US equipment before reaching the phone of a person residing in the US.

I mean if they even took the small step to ensure that these calls do not spoof the caller ID, and appear as coming from India, this would decrease a lot of the scams.
If anyone from the iOS team is reading this, it would be so very cathartic if I could select a call from my history and "mark as spam" instead of just "block caller".
