Wow, I just woke up to this. Glad to see Jam here on hn. We've come a long way since the initial release earlier this year (Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26131123).

Most of our efforts since february went into making the rooms more reliable which sounds simple but there are actually countless of different reasons for why audio might not work or not work as well as it could (switching from wifi to mobile data, microphone permissions, bandwidth problems, OS forces app into background, …) some are solvable others at least need to be documented and tracked.

What else is new other than reliability?:

# Support for large rooms (think: thousands of people in the audience) using an SFU

Initially Jam only had support for p2p rooms which is great for small rooms (up to like ~20 people depending on upstream bandwidth of the speakers) but for online conferences, meetups and so on you often need rooms that support 100s or 1000s of participants so we added an SFU where the speakers still send audio to each other p2p to keep conversations low-latency but we use a server to stream audio to all users that are in the audience.

(That said: you can still run Jam p2p-only if you prefer that)

# Locally recorded multi-track audio (think: podcasts with multiple guests, where you get one high quality audio track per speaker)

You can try multi-track audio recordings on our public beta server (https://beta.jam.systems). Tap on our own user and then "Start Podcast Recording". When you tap on your own user again and then "Stop Podcast Recording" the browser will prompt you with downloads for all audio tracks (we will make this more smooth going forward).

# Custom UI

For everyone who wants to add audio rooms to their own app but needs full control over the look and feel we have added an API and JavaScript library (and NPM package) so you can "build your own" ui for Jam. This basically means that Jam is running "headless" as an audio room server and makes sure audio works while you can build exactly the ui that you want.

E.g. let's say you have an app like Google Docs and you want to allow people to talk about a document. In this case you might want something that doesn't look like a room on Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces but rather like a line of avatars and with the API and library you can build this yourself now:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jam-core

https://gitlab.com/jam-systems/jam/-/tree/master/ui/examples

# Managed hosting

For everyone who wants to use Jam but doesn't want to install and maintain Jam themselves we are run and support Jam for you (think: what Wordpress.com is to Wordpress.org):

1. Make it impossible for millions of citizens to enter physical stores without having to show papers they don't have.

2. Drive them to online shopping as their only choice, thus massively increasing profits for Amazon, which was already dominating the market.[1]

3. Fine Amazon for abuse of market dominance.

4. Profit

> > fast and reliable shippings

> Not something only Amazon logistics are capable of

Yet something Amazon logistics consistently does better than others. It is not uncommon for non-FBA sellers to ship directly from China and evem if they ship from Europe they are practically never as fast as Amazon.

> > easy returns

> Not something only Amazon logistics are capable of (at least here in Germany, they just give you a label to put it in the normal postal system, as do most retailers)

Others may be capable of but will they? With Amazon logistics its just a couple of clicks and then you get a QR code to show when you drop of you package at your local post office - no need to even print anything yourself anymore. Sometimes they will just refund without requiring a return at all. And you can rely on getting the refund within a reasonable amount of time without having to haunt the seller about the status. With some random seller who knows what you will get - and you certainly won't know that until you have to go through with it.

I'm not saying Amazon shold not receive fines. But for now I keep using Amazon desite all their problems because, as a buyer, you do get a better, and equally important, consistent service when it comes to fulfilment.

> The obvious fix of course would be for Amazon to not do fulfillment for third parties in Italy

I wish they would do that everywhere. There are other platforms where you can connect with random sellers if Amazon does not have what you want in their warehouses.

There are also Java, etc., IDEs with which you can develop full Android apps. And have been for nearly a decade, at least.
Oh it's mostly a figure of speech - the point was that Germans 'changing their mind' was not anything close to 'spontaneous' despite the fact most of it was, over the long term, arduously accomplished by Germans themselves.

Yeah, I'm seeing the same clipping issues since upgrading to Android 12. Lots of other bugs too.

For example, since upgrading when I use my "<Car Company Name> Remote App" to lock my car the phone will crash to the lock screen and get stuck there. The only way to get out of it is a hard reboot. Shocking.
Recommendations aren't the same as search results.

Is she making up her Amazon recommendation shadowban? Was she misinformed? Is/was there a shadowban, but one caused by third parties manipulating Amazon's ranking signals rather than by Amazon's own minions? Maybe. I have no idea.

However, just try to search for "When Harry Became Sally". When you discover that you can't find it, you might be curious to know why Amazon decided to censor it, not by deranking it in searches or recommendations, but by outright refusing to sell it at all (after initially offering it for sale).[1]

Amazon has a history of problems with rankings for culturally sus books. There were issues about a decade ago with certain feminist and LGBT books getting flagged as adult and therefore downranked or hidden. Whether they did that intentionally (with human intervention) or whether it was an automatic result of signals, doesn't matter, though the fact that books with a LGBT flavor were adult-flagged while straight-flavored books weren't either goes to willful conduct or horrifically inadequate algorithms. The pattern of Shrier's allegation now is similar to the problem back then, although the content is different. The moral panic back then was people (particularly minors) unwittingly stumbling across adult content. The moral panic today is anything critical of LGBTQ++.

I wish there was a good theme out there that has support for lots of different apps, and has a light and dark theme. Dark themes are great when you're working in the dark, but during the day, when the sun is at its highest, and your brightness is maxed, Dark themes just don't work.

Ask HN: Do you feel you are able to be yourself in your job?
Many companies, particularly in the tech scene seem to have high expectations of their employees. These expectations go far beyond skills or shared ethics into fuzzier areas such as cultural values. In some cases a companies attempt to architect their own sub-culture and expect staff to follow.

There's been a few high profile cases of quite senior staff in companies standing down recently after they've expressed an opinion in the public forum that didn't align with that of the company (e.g. Google).

Diametrically opposed to this, there's been situations in which a large number of the staff have collectively challenged the company itself (e.g. the Netflix walkout).

I thought it might be interesting to ask, day-to-day, to what extent do you feel free to express yourself where you work, do you perfectly align with the companies chosen culture, and how important is this to you?
Solutions to Data Structure and Algorithm Interview Questions in Python
I don't know, I think there are plenty of people out there who aren't angry, you just can't really hear them because they aren't yelling.

One thing I know for sure, the amount of anger someone has is always inversely proportionate to how much they know about a topic. Whenever someone gets angry about a topic I know for sure they know nothing about it and are therefore not worth wasting time on.

Well that's great, but still, Amazon won't guarantee it just because you did. They can't guarantee something they have no control over.
They bought it for data gathering and market/competitor research. I was with Amazon at the time. Was great for keeping track of what products were drawing most traction on eBay (Longaberger baskets and Beanie babies, says my vague memory)
Super Mario Bros with Chris Pratt sound effects, yes it's annoying
Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't sound like it's _that_ specific. From the instructions, the conditions for the bug are:

1. Running Android 10 or higher

2. Has MS Teams installed

3. User is logged out of MS Teams

4. User hasn't reinstalled MS Teams _in a while_ (or perhaps they installed MS Teams in a particular time window in the past)

1-3 seem like fairly weak filters. Unless 4 is a particularly strong filter, this sounds like it would affect a bunch of people.
Which is?

Unless there is malicious intent, I do not really see the added benefit of a lawsuit or complaint to the regulator.

I've got an old gen1 Pixel xl 128g, which was working well. I'd been putting off the os upgrade nag messages for a long time, but in a moment of weakness I capitulated. Now the phone is basically a shadow of it's former self with an endless list of issues. I suppose I need to try a factory reset if I want to resurrect it, but not sure I'll find the time.

To be clear, I don't expect google to actively support such an old phone, but I do expect them to properly test updates if they decide to send them to a particular model.
It is also forbidden for supermarkets (for example) to give people with a "customer card" discounts. They are obliged to give everyone the discount. So when a cashier asks for a customer card and I tell them I don't have one, the cashier scans their own card to apply the discounts.
There is no difference. A marketplace is a marketplace no matter if it's a physical space or an online one.
Why do you think it's ridiculous for cigarettes only?

Why not criticize the ban on led paint? After all that's also poison.

I think if you think about it for a few seconds you realize that this law isn't so much banning cigarettes as it is removing an exception for a specific poison.
> n Switzerland. If I want to do anything here, I send a copy of my residency permit.

Even that would not fly in Norway. You have to close the loop with a trusted intermediary like BankID by providing a notarised copy of your ID then you can log in to other institutions using BankID's log in service.
Pig farms in the nordics are under strict animal wellfare regulations which are enforced effectively. Pig farmers also informally experiment with everything from breeding to feed and antibiotics in order to gain every advantage.

As I heard it from an uncle in who raised piglets for decades. There is no visible health difference between two groups of piglets, one raised on antibiotics and one not. Its also worth mentioning that any piglet which gets any severe wound or infection is simply discarded, rather than treated. They still use antibiotics because the piglets on antibiotics gain substantially more weight from the same feed over the same time. In my uncles case, he stopped when the legal loophole closed. But the danes still do.
The North America Numbering Plan does not allow any (normal) phone numbers that begin with the area codes 000-199. So there can be no valid numbers that are of the form +1 (1nn) nnn-nnnn.

(There are special dialing codes like dialing 011 for international that are an exception to this, but no normal phone numbers.)
> it's starting to get hilarious seeing the design of their apps being revamped over and over again

I can't stand that anymore. Every single updates make things more and more unusable, they hide settings, they make buttons bigger for no reasons, &c.

They even managed to butcher the alarm app... it looks like an app designed for visually impaired people (which would be fine if it was an option and not the default/only choice).

There are four articles in Chinese about the design and implementation on one of the author's blog. Here's a link to the first one: https://www.ihcblog.com/rust-runtime-design-1/. I don't know the subject and Chinese enough to know how much is lost by automatic translation (Google in my case), but it looks relatively good.

As an aside, Google translation integrated in Chrome breaks the formatting of the code blocks, which is surprising since they're in a <pre> block.
AFAICT this fine was levied by the Italian government, not the EU.
Source for 1. ?

Anyone can enter any store without showing any paper in Italy. The only places where you are required to show proof of vaccination or recovery from covid are:

- Restaurant (if you want to dine in)

- SPAs

- Ski resorts

Last time I checked Amazon didn't have dine-in restaurants, SPAs or ski resorts (at least not in Italy).
Now: next to none.

Before: anything. Everybody did it if they had the slightest reason if my observations were correct. Just like I remember Norwegians taking a sauna (those who had) with friends or family or showering before swimming or after exercise at school, nobody thought about the fact that they were naked between peers it seemed.

Today every kid complains about showering at school and everyone are very secretive about their income records.

This is just observation, not judgement. I think there are good reasons on both sides of both questions even if I am conservative as few (not American "conservative", I just think it is smart to change society slowly and thoughtfully).
Upgraded my Pixel 4 to Android 12 and told my wife to stay on Android 11. Bugs and questionable design changes. I do not think she will miss any feature ... erh actually what are the new features in 12?
> Like the US is much better at this, throwing trillions of public money in weapons while they can't seem to afford free public healthcare.

The US can afford free public healthcare. It could probably afford free public healthcare with its current public healthcare spending (per capita it spends far more than most developed countries providing that, and per GDP it spends a similar amount), but instead it's spends hyper inefficiently so as to maintain a private healthcare system that costs even more on top of the public system.

Weapons are irrelevant to that, though the US spends too much (and too inefficiently) on those, too.

America puts a premium on the freedoms of current landowners.

All the land has been allocated already. The price required to obtain the necessary land for nationwide HSR would be a nonstarter in the current legal system.

Only a top down system where the individual land owners get less than what they expect like China would make it possible.

Even the interstate highway system would not work today. It only worked in the 50s to 80s because it cut through minority neighborhoods who could not afford and did not have the knowledge of being able to use the courts to prevent it without earning top dollar for giving up their land.

My understanding of the author's point is that the book does not show up in a "you may also be interested in these books" kind of list, not the result of an explicit search.

> But of course, ugly hacks like this were only ever a peecee problem. Macs could boot CD-ROMs like any other drive for as long as they've had CD-ROMs.

This is a bit ridiculous, since in order to be bootable, a Mac requires the CD-ROM to contain a HFS filesystem.
PCs could also boot "like any other drive" from CD-ROM if they forced the CD-ROMs to contain a MBR.

Actually, that is exactly what El Torito is: putting a boot record on a CDROM, so that it can boot "like any other drive". The fact that the boot record is most commonly found in an image of a floppy disk is an implementation detail (you can have whatever you want, it's just that floppy is easier to work with), and hardly "a hack".

"A hack" would be to force the CD-ROM to contain a hybridized HFS filesystem, despite the entire raison d'être for ISO being to avoid having to put multiple filesystems in CDs.
I actually prefer having as many different colors as possible. A class definition is orange, functions are pink, strings are green, ... (Material theme). It's just very clear at a glance. If everything's a subtle shade of one color, it's just harder to parse for no good (?) reason.
Show HN: Advent of UI Components
>Once you realise the latter are a myth, then the entire concept of taxing land makes no sense. Government, in a country with its own free floating currency, has no need of tax money to spend.

Tax keeps a lid on inflation and can be used to discourage socially undesirable activity. It absolutely makes sense to keep inflation down and prevent productive land from being hoarded or used inefficiently with a tax at the same time.
The US is much more protectionist than the EU, there are lots of sectors where entering the market is nearly impossible in the US. And saying that Europe has no competing counterpart is ridiculous, just look at Amazon total market share in the different European countries and compare to the US.
Depends on what you mean, but there are no 1XX area codes in North America, so there is no reason you’d ever dial 9 (for outside line) 1 (country code) 1 (first digit of area code).

Of course you could make “91” be the code for outside lines, forcing someone to dial “91+1-XXX-XXX-XXXX”

Perhaps that is cultural? We're used to faults only being addressed when they're really dire; hence, if you address any faults, your product must be in a dire state.

In reality, that is probably the case, but it's also the case that any culture always moves in this direction; the nash equilibrium is reached only if you describe your product a bit too rosy.

Actually the opposite is true. Only trough regulation you can create nonviolent free market competition. Otherwise, you end up with military competition as the easiest way to win is to dominate and subjugate opponents trough raw force. Slavery and colonization are this types of free market distortions when unrestricted by regulation.

So, regulations are necessary part of free markets. The question is what regulations are good and what regulations are bad.

There are empirical and game theoretical examples where regulations create better outcomes than nonviolent free market competition. There are games where the tragedy of the commons occur i.e. Nash equilibrium creates bad outcome [0]. This is also true in the real world e.g. collapse of the Atlantic northwest cod fishery.

But the Amazon locker point you are making it's perfectly in line with this fine: if Amazon would let other ships Amazon packages (and Amazon packages only) to those lockers, it would be clearly a sign they are not abusing their dominance in one market (online sales) to drive another market (logistics/last-mile delivery). Full disclosure: I work for a last-mile delivery company even thou in this case is not direct competence.
