That's the thing - people don't have "free time". Most employment contracts are actually enslavement when it comes to IP. That's why corporations lobby governments to stop workers going B2B.
Great idea, we do not have support for sub-groups yet but I can see how this could be very useful for meetups and other formats. We'll think about it!
> at the cost of suburban homes.

Suburban homes have a much larger footprint than urban homes, so it would reduce urban sprawl if you have fewer suburban homes and more urban homes.

The value of backwards compatibility is directly proportional to the ratio of "value of user time" / "value of dev time". Depending on whether you are the dev, the user or a third party, you may attach different values to that ratio.

In the extreme, a dev might think that ratio is 0 and a user might that it's a large number. (People arguing that ISOs are already widely supported and useful are implicitly attaching a large value to that ratio)

I don't think there's an objectively correct value that can be assigned to that ratio, hence disagreements about whether Really Old Thing should be supported.
Me too with Consider Phlebas. Then I hit the Alastair Reynolds novels pretty hard and now I'm stuck for new material. Dune is en vogue so perhaps that's the right read next? I really enjoyed Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky but couldn't quite get into A Fire Upon the Deep but it still sits on my shelf taunting me.

So far, the fines have been solidly in the "acceptable cost of doing business" category. If anything, the fines are at least an order of magnitude too small.

For a sense of scale, VW North-America (~38B) is of a comparable revenue to Amazon EU (~44B). But the VW emissions scandal cost them almost a full years of that revenue, ... and they're not leaving the market. (In general, US fines are much higher than EU fines, BTW). Don't forget that such fines are generally unlikely to be levied very frequently because court battles are drawn out and law enforcement has limited resources too. Additionally, specifically in the EU (but also partially in the US) there's the issue that enforcement is fractured across states, so it's easier for a corp like this to absorb the occasional loss - had this fine been scaled for the entire EU, not just Italy, the cost might have been significant, but alas. Additionally, while punitive damages in civil litigation are obviously problematic, they do address real issues that (AFAIK, IANAL) the EU (an it's member states) doesn't have a real answer for - which makes rules-breaking less disincentivized. Finally, fines that are related to past revenue and disregard stock price and current revenue and growth are likely in any case to have less impact in shaping behavior in rapidly growing sectors (as in sectors with huge profit margins) - and amazon's EU business is rapidly growing.

If the aim of enforcement is to at the very least ensure a change in behavior, and, failing that, to actually fine a company out of business, then EU fines need to be much, much higher. Given how rarely they're levied, the extreme delay in collection, and how small they are, I kind of doubt they're enough to really trigger the kind of behavior you'd want - namely that large corps actually follow the rules right off the bat, and not just after years of being able to essentially manipulate the market into whatever shape they like.
Best Health Keto UK– Reviews, Benefits, Weight Loss Pills, Price and Buy?
They will go out of business? This is nonsense.

The Android Open Source Project and ChromiumOS have hardly made Google go out of business.

Would any significant percentage of Apple fans see an "Apple open sources MacOS" announcement and suddenly throw their Apple gear in the garbage?

Of course not. They pay for the support reputation and the pretty well marketed aluminum they can't impress their friends without.
Best Health Keto UK

Best Health Keto UK is like other ketone pills, but essentially more compelling. The tablets are comprised of BHB ketones, which trigger ketosis as a characteristic cycle inside the body. As a rule, ketosis happens when the body is running out of carbs to consume as fuel. The ketone-containing supplements cause ketosis in your body which implies that fat is scorched at a higher rate than carbs.

What on earth are you even talking about.
oh boy. you don't know about high taxing. "sin goods" is what its called and the governments do their best to tax the shit out of it. what happens? nothing. people continue to beg borrow and steal to get it. government only benefits from higher tax collection rather than a reduction.
https://www.indiafilings.com/learn/gst-rate-cess-tobacco-cig...

read this. the tax rate on tobacco products in india is 28%+204%. so, the costing is , $100+$28+$204= $332.

has that stopped or even lowered the consumption of tobacco products in india? absolutely not.

its not about authoritarianism when it comes to such issues. alcohol is banned in many countries across the world. "muslims" are most of them. do they have to enforce drunk driving ban or sale of liquor to minors or is there alcoholic epidemic in those countries? do people get wasted on the streets ? they might have other problems but not alcohol is not one of them.

i personally want this law to succeed because while i do not smoke, people i know do and i have seen teens get "attracted" to this because "oh i have depression. lets smoke", those stuff.

there will be consequences but if i read it correctly, its not about people who are current addicts but future expected ones. they "don't" know what cigarettes are or what they do. if done properly, these people will not grow up to find their corner shop selling tobacco and in some years, many people will not see smoking a cigarette as "normal" which it currently is.
> Fines are there for good valid reason?

Empirically, we know that is not true. Some legislation embodies bad ideas.

China - alleged communists - have outperformed the EU at creating a viable software industry. Regardless of the arguments about what approaches are good and bad, there is pretty evidence that whatever "good" means, Europe is struggling to achieve it.
GDPR and the upcoming online safety bill and the EU's digital economy regulations makes it nearly impossible for almost anyone to run a forum. That is now only possible by big tech.
I'd add there is a third category, "curious technology enthusiasts", that just like to read well-written article on some new topic.

Do you speak 'Euro English'? (2020)
I just joined a startup about 6 weeks ago. yesterday I've been told it was quite boring before I joined and they dread the day the company grows and HR starts watching you. unfortunately today I've been "language-policed" for the first time and probably not the last :(

it's been fun. that's one of the reasons I don't support rapid growth, but investors expect that (ceo said that) and nearly every day there's a new face and to be honest it looks like they will accept anyone who's willing to work there because offices not in central location. sad. I'd much rather keep a tight culture of close friends who are always on top of what's going on.
Lot of emotion in this thread.

a) The dialer is software. Your calls are not analog.

b) As a user, I _should_ have the freedom to choose a different dialer if I want. (E.g. I am on a data-only plan, and I want to use VOIP.)

c) Say I'm on wifi with no tower reception (as used to be the case when I lived in Virginia, within 50 miles of DC). 911 calling over wifi works on some carriers but (I believe) not others. It's therefore fine for third party dialers to be able to handle 911 - VOIP might be by far the more reliable alternative for a particular user's circumstances.

d) MS Teams registered itself to handle calls, regardless of whether or not the user was logged in, and some bug in that area caused it to lock up after the call was made. They're likely fixing this specific aspect - if you're not logged in, it will pass-through calls to the next app that's registered as a dialer. Straight up bug.

e) There should be (and likely is?) a certification process for apps that want to act as the dialer. Is Google liable for distributing an app that registers as a dialer that has a bug when it comes to 911 handling? Maybe. It's a slippery slope to make the distributor liable for third party developers' bugs.

f) The user stated that the emergency call was going on in the background while the UI was locked up. To the Android OS, the app was handling the call. It's pretty obvious that it'd be hard to detect. Should Android have detected the high CPU, terminated the Teams app's process, and then fallen back to the native phone dialer? Clearly not, because the call might actually have been in progress, and the operator might have been taking information from the user.

Seems to me that the best Android could do is to add more functionality to the special 911 dialing UI. Specifically, it should probably prompt the user to choose which dialer to use, and within N seconds of no response automatically choose the native dialer (IF there is a tower signal, or it can route the call over wifi). If an alternate dialer is used, it should maintain an overlay on the screen allowing the user to switch to native dialer with one click, terminating the alternate app.

That all said, longer term 911 itself probably needs to enter the 21st century. While it will take some time, voice calls probably won't be around with the same infrastructure in 50 or 100 years. Why shouldn't there be 911 over whatsapp, SMS, hangouts, meet, whatever else? Why shouldn't there be a 911 app that comes preloaded? Imagine being able to send video or photos to the 911 operator. Clearly there's a high bar for reliability, but bear in mind that cellular providers themselves are not offering consistent coverage across the US / world, and that land lines are going the way of the dinosaur.
Experience of health professionals around an exorcism (2018) [pdf]

Google already special-cases it in the dialler.
> There is no mention that this function cannot be used for security, or that it does not safely ensure a path can't refer to a parent directory.

It seems to me that both of those guarantees are something that would need to be explicitly stated if provided, and one wouldn't just assume that they hold by omission. In general if the docs were to list all postconditions that are not guaranteed to hold, it would take a while to write them :).
A solution could be to give the Android system dialer first preference. If it fails to call the number (network issues, no signal) it could automatically pass off the call to the first registered VoIP app

That said, the Google Play store should also have more stringent reviews for apps that want dialer access. Their review should verify whether emergency services can be called regardless of signed-in status, and location

Well how will you get it installed?

Brew? Well that has no signing support and no supply chain integrity. Hundreds of people have access to push whatever they want to a git repo and anyone is free to forge commits and backdoor all brew users as they like. It is worse than NPM.

At least on Windows you can install WSL and then get access to APT which checks RSA author signatures on everything regardless of mirror.

MacOS only provides signed packages via their app store. The end. If you want software they don't offer like a modern version of bash, you have to get it from untrusted sources like Brew that risk compromising your system.
Why not set it to update only over wifi?
Actually no. Testing even a fairly comprehensive set of test cases could have given a false sense of security and possibly missed some actual vulnerable cases.

Best thing would have been to either implement a function that does give the required guarantees or look for an existing library that explicitly does.
If someone just uses open source software, they can add it to their opensource.example.com website?

It used to be that the page should list things they're maintainers of..
This is true for stat too, which was the grandparent example.

Though you're unlikely to be writing multi-threaded bash, but entirely possible for another process to delete it too.
I for one value the HN limited aesthetic. From a ui perspective its not ideal, but keeping the site extremely simple and a little coarse surely disincentivizes mass and mob adoption.
I've thought of that, and to be honest I think it's worth mentioning in the article. But having set this arbitrary limit to 125 lines, before even starting to sketch things down, made me use the function tables. As a plus, article is intended for beginners, and it would be cool if they learn about function pointers from a practical example.

But from a performance perspective, you are right!
I’d also add more space between "next" and "[-]" to prevent mis-taps. Or use "collapse" instead of "[-]".
The thing is, it's clearly not as simple as "Has MS Teams installed", I mean the bug itself is not due to one specific piece of software, but rather that software advertising itself to the OS in a certain way.

Making a call to emergency services shouldn't be able to fail on hardware with a mobile phone modem. If Android allows apps to provide the capability to do that, then the OS must take responsibility for the app actually being able to do so, if the dialer tries to call an emergency services number, and whatever app is prioritised to take care of that fails, then the next one in line needs to be called upon, until we hit Android core functionality which they have verified beforehand can actually perform the task (given that there is a mobile phone modem on the platform in question, but perhaps this could be done over the internet as well, in which case that isn't even a requirement).

Blaming this on shitty code by a third party is not acceptable.

Man Brackets brings me back. When I was 16-17 I forked a popular HTML skeleton extension but with the difference that I wanted it to have Bootstrap markup ready. This was with zero javascript experience (the extensions themselves used JS). It wasn't until later that I realised it had many thousands of downloads. As of right now 120k.

Sadly I've deleted the Github repo, but amazingly Brackets still had a copy of the plugin in their S3 bucket.
Usually, such a valuation process commences with a measurement of the most and least valuable land within the taxation area. A few sites of intermediate value are then identified and used as "landmark" values. Other values are filled in between the landmark values. The data is then collated in a database and linked to a unique property reference number.

Over time with the use of sales data the map should become more accurate.

The assessment will only be close, of course, it'll never be "perfect".

Yes.

WebKit was started by Apple. You're thinking of KHTML/KJS.

Google should have built in some mechanism which verifies that the integration from Teams can't prevent calling 911 - either as part of Play Store verification, or as a general test of their system (they delegate to other apps, if these fail or hang the native mechanism should take over).
Even if there is no amount of effort that will prevent your power from decreasing, more effort still gives you more power.
Lot of people making comments about Google and Android here, and I can understand why, but they aren't the only company who make an operating system where Teams interacts unfavourably with the core OS.

No matter how many Windows updates I install, or how many times I update drivers and firmware, Teams on Windows 10 on my Dell laptop is a very unstable combination. When on video calls it causes problem conditions in the graphics drivers that destabilise Teams, sometimes other applications such as Firefox, and will fairly regularly bluescreen the OS.

Again on video calls it also interacts poorly with Killer WiFi drivers leading to:

- intermittent drop-outs in network connectivity affecting all applications, including Teams (but not other devices on my network),

- total loss of WiFi connection, requiring disable/reenable of my wireless network adapter, and occasionally a machine reboot to resolve

- again, OS bluescreens

These problems only happen during Teams video calls, and most regularly (though not always) after the system has slept and woken at least once since its last reboot.

I'm not even going to dive in to the multitude of application level problems (failing to load calendar, failing to join meetings, breaking copy & paste, and on, and on). My point is that, as much as Google is at fault here, so is Microsoft: Teams is not good software. It is not built with safe interaction with the OS in mind, and it is not well tested.

Feature-wise Teams is far and away ahead of alternatives such as Zoom, and call quality is generally better than some alternatives, such as Google Hangouts, but it's let down by poor engineering and, as I've already said, inadequate testing. In the case of OP, with very serious results.
I'm not saying that Amazon shouldn't pay because they will use the money better. Mine was a response to the parent comment saying that the Italians will benefit from "tax money".

I do believe that is good to tax/fine Amazon appropriately, I just don't believe that the Italian government will use that money for the benefits of the Italians.

Initially mw was mem_write and mr was mem_read, and reg was registers, etc. But because I wanted to keep the functions as short as possible (to put them on the single line without making them totally unreadable), I've comeup with those names, which are confusing at first.

The method to implement the ban is quite interesting: they plan to raise the minimum age for buying tobacco by one year per year. That is if someone is not old enough to buy tobacco when such legislation takes effect, they will never be.

Let's hope that teenagers also understand that this means that if they smoke despite not being legally allowed to do so yet, they will have problems procuring tobacco for the rest of their lives.
These EU countries sure seem to be raking in a lot of FAANG money. Ideally they should just sit down together and meaningfully reach some common policies around how to operate without being 'abusive' - but of course they wouldn't get to make these billion dollar fines then.

Same thing for me, Minecraft servers were part of my "social media usage" when I was younger. I like how they offered different degrees of interactions. You have basic chat and private messages, but you can also go on Skype/Mumble/etc and talk to people.

These days I kind of have the same thing with a private Discord server (5 people including me) and Twitter. My Twitter account is private, most of my friends (~10 people) are also in private. I can have a window on the "outside world" by following stuff from the outside, but interactions are limited to me and my friends.

We usually set up a new Minecraft server every year and play a lot for a month or two (most of us are still students), and having a 3D world that we can modify at will is always very special. I've thought a lot about what the future could look like for us. I have this idea of a "3D coworking space", though for now frequent Discord calls and Twitter interactions are enough. I do miss the feeling of building something together and living in a (virtual) space together. Just like it's easier to remember things with a mental palace, it's easier to remember the memories we made together while visiting our Minecraft servers.
