I suspect ROI will be negative (especially given sky-high cost of US infrastructure projects) - lead is safe if not consumed inside. And AFAIK it happens mostly in two situations - old chipping paint and lead pipes. Even chipping paint should be a problem either when paint dust is everywhere or when children are playing with paint chips. Lead pipes are more dangerous and should be replaced but even lead pipes leak significant lead amounts only if pH is high (or water flow is high).

In comments to this thread I see what looks to me like a moral panic - people leaving in safe conditions are full of fear (and who are really unsafe are not represented on HN). Lead is not something which can kill you at a distance, or if you consume 1 μg of it.

Android devices are more like appliances than computers. C compilers ? No. Shells ? No. There are some BASIC interpreters thoght, which is a start.
Unfortunately one of the most clever devices around is rather uncommon the Iodd/Zalman thingy (only for the record), this should be latest version:

basically these devices are external USB hard disks that can expose a .iso saved inside (selectable among many) as a CD/DVD.

It's incredible that this is your first comment on HN since you created your account in 2012. I'm always amazed when I see this happen.
The problem with that is that you now have to have a "client" to decrypt and display those posts. And it has to manage keys. And you have to shift some of that burden onto the user because otherwise the key could be accessible to the server.

People do somewhat expect this stuff for messaging, but it'll get really messy really fast for posts and photos and similar long-lived content. It'll get even messier when you consider that privacy options in this style of social network are the likes of "friends only", so they include dynamic collections of users.
Microsoft might argue that "Teams" is not a "multi-line telephone system". That probably wouldn't go far with a jury. The clear intent of the law is that if you interpose something between a phone handset and the 911 network, it has to pass through 911 calls.

Google may blame Microsoft but there is no way an app should be able to disable 911 calling on a phone. This means that other apps could disable 911 intentionally. This is Google's problem to fix. A phone OS needs to guarantee certain things and 911 is one of them.
Have you found that a combination of the right theme and glasses makes reading from the screen for hours comfortable?

I have read about that research but I don't think we can conclude from it that dark backgrounds are a fad. They have other advantages (e.g. matching the dark room I work in) and besides, most dark themes are not pure white on black, but something less contrasting.
Yeah I noticed this. I tried using DD to 'burn' the windows 11 ISO to a USB stick and it didn't work. I had to use Rufus as per MS' instructions. It's very weird to me that they include a third-party app in this workflow.
Why buy this unnecessary gadget when Ventoy exists? Most clever? That product page looks like satire.

There are two major differences with cigarettes compared to alcohol, with the biggest being the very low cultural support around cigarettes. A country can ban a lot of things and 99.99% of it is unknown to the general public because there isn't any cultural push for it.

The second reason is that nicotine isn't that strong. People can use harder drugs to escape life and stress a bit, but a cigarette doesn't have that effect. Even playing a video games is arguable a stronger and more effective than smoking a cigarette, and it has a higher cultural pull.

The prohibition in the United States tried to force a culture change. That is a recipe for failure, especially if there is no easy alternatives except for abstinence.
I use the BitTorrent DHT all the time but I don't expect it to be consistent, not even eventually. With money you need something that is 100% accurate 100% of the time. Miners compete to calculate the one true blockchain. That smacks of centralization to me.
The chilling effect is real. It's disheartening that we are asked to play along with unsubstantiated dogma on topics as fundamental as gender. Has anyone here managed to express opinions like Shrier's in a casual manner without having the reputation take a hit?

why is it better than just let people "git clone" your repos? i mean it restricts how the users can browse them, while cloning them, they can browse in any way they want. it's not like accessing git repos on the web, IMO, because whoever can do ssh, he likely can do git in CLI anyways, unlike cases when looking at the code on the web is more feasible.
It's funny that people quickly forget the meaning of the word "company": it's a "group of people" (companions).

There are some additional rules for public companies, but in general, businesses can have whatever purpose "members of the company" (it's actually a legal term in many jurisdictions) agree on.

The Biointelligence Explosion
Most groups will not admit failure. This is because (IMO) we do 'groups' wrong.

What is a group? Its a bunch of individuals that come together to do something.

The problem is that the 'thing' groups come together to do, is different for different individuals. Some people are looking to find completion, some community, some a specific goals, others a series of goals, others want control, others want to learn, etc.

Groups should come together for a specific goals, and then be disbanded when that goal is met or cannot be met. The issue groups do not come together in this way - instead we create a structure that potentially runs in perpetuity (the governance structure is the most egregious example of this.)

If the goals are unclear, if the structure can be hijacked so that one individual is in a position of power over the others, at that point, the group is in conflict - some are winners some are losers. The ostensible goal may end in failure, but only for some in the group. In fact, for the winners, a sort of strung out failure is success! Just look at our political class - the system is failing and no one is happy, but they have converted their parasitic position into a win.

Amazon decided to be a market place, but it's unfair to the sellers on the platform: they are not represented as much on the main site - they don't have a fair space, and amazon use their data to steal part of their market. That's why the Italian anti-trust is striking on amazon.

Good.
Ventoy gave me plenty of trouble. I guess I have a lot of hardware it doesn’t like. Meanwhile, my iodd just works. For me it was worth it to end the hassle.
Yes. Speaking as someone who has a lot of experience with both (see my github)

- Cross platform

- Extensive Integrations and 3rd party ecosystem

- Generally much shorter code for the same stuff

- Package manager

AHK was never considered a general purpose language nor a good language. I was probably one of the first people to use it that way (See Forms framework). With AHK2 incoming it is much better language (although Lua would be way better instead).

AHK is oriented toward GUI automation, PowerShell toward CLI automation. AHK is not there out of the box on any Windows.

You can basically do anything in anything, but that doesn't mean you should.

Exactly, came here to say this. They should delete the line/file/partition if exists, and append/create/format it from scratch every time in order to respect idempotency.

Another thing I would recommend is usage of temp directories: you can assume they are empty (easier to reason about). Then do all the work there, an when all operations were successful, you "commit" modified files with "mv/cp -r" and overwrite the real files.

I would call the use of temporary files/folders "transactionality" rather than "idempotency" though.
There's a reason as to why people who understands how IT works, do not have smart homes :)
Sure it will happen: once their products are not that much less expensive, and it's going to come quickly.

The only worry is if that's also the point where their products will also be more advanced and thus more appealing regardless of the price.

Is the Italian market even worth 1.1b mid-term? I might have a skewed estimate since Amazon is "really small" in Sweden, but that is a LOT of money considering it's 1.1B lost profits and not turnover.
DRM is an instrument, which can protect anything. If you apply it elsewhere, it does not stop being DRM.
I've primarily used touch as a timestamp updater, not a file creator. But to be charitable, it is under the headline "Creating an empty file".
Android lets third-party apps replace the entire calling process, so depending on the setup there is no OS component that even knows what number you are trying to dial before the dialer actually tells the OS about it.

Not sure if Teams does that, if not I guess it would be possible, although I'm not sure if there aren't cases where suddenly a different (=an OS component) app than the user expects taking over also would be bad, e.g. if someone used a special dialer for accessibility purposes. Maybe this should be behind special review and testing, at least this specific bug here seems like it'd have been easy to catch if emergency calling behavior was tested.
If it helps you can read 'transferring value' to 'transferring digital tokens which have value on the market', the distinction is irrelevant to the point.

> Whether they have value is irrelevant as far as the technology itself is concerned.

I'd argue that it's not irrelevant. The whole point of the technology is, at risk of more 'marketing buzzwords', a decentralised way of moving value around (moving digitised tokens which have value on the market, around).

I had a look at your post/comment history. It's almost exclusively cryptocurrency focussed. I'm curious why you spend so much time discussing a technology you clearly don't think has a future.
Well, in this case it was unfair to the various transport companies, as Amazon used its own.
The post you replied to did not claim that science was a religion but that blindly following "Science" (read: those that claim to represent science) often is.
Ventoy is a very good software solution, and not the only one[1], we have also Easy2boot and - for the more technical ones - also "plain" grub4dos/grub4UEFI.

The (very high) price is due - I believe - to the very small amount that they are made, but it doesn't seem (to me) like "rocket science", the basic idea is the same as those floppy disk replacements wherre you can select the floppy image to run/boot.

Some years ago there was a USB stick that had the same capabilities (also expensive as it was almost hand made) called isostick and before that a SD card reader with the same capabilities, simply for some reasons the idea didn't become popular/ubiquitous.

You can run Jam in p2p mode where all users in a room are connected to each other. That's great for scenarios where you have lots of small rooms and also great if you want to save cost.

If you want to support large rooms with hundreds or thousands of participants well be aware that p2p might run into issues if speakers are bandwidth constrained (since every speaker has to send their audio to every other participant). That's why we've added a mode where the speakers are p2p (low latency) and also send their audio to the server which then sends it to the audience members (SFU).

Edit: out of the box you get p2p for speakers and SFU for audience members, you can configure Jam to not use the SFU

Cause some of the tools are completely outside of the scope of work or company culture or tech stack.

We do share knowledge but not all of it is relevant, so not every little thing needs sharing. If I come to meeting and share everything in my head I might as well crab a box to stand on and preach to the clouds.

No toxic intentions involved here.
I have a hard time seeing why this is such a popular theme.. maybe it's just because it is available for so many different editors. On the other hand, would be cool to have an application / database that could convert any theme to another editor.

Although that would take a lot of work to figure out the compatibilities, if somebody would do that well enough so that other people can configure input output configs for that, I bet that program could become very popular among developers.
I could imagine this being useful for our company. We need to provision the computers we make. Currently somebody runs to them and boots them with a USB stick or via PXE, or we clone the disks. But it gets cumbersome to manage all the sticks, and cloning is difficult if the device is provisioned in a different factory than where it is assembled. PXE is good for managing the images, but we need to connect a keyboard to start the installation (even though most PCs have touchscreens, but PXELinux doesn't support touch AFAIK). (I had the idea to install a panel where you could preselect which image gets sent to which "PXE cable", but we rejected that as too cumbersome.)

It would be great to have a thingedy that you plug in and that can serve one of multiple ISOs to a device. (Even better if it could emulate a keyboard and automatically go into the BIOS to make the right settings, but I guess such a device would be a security hazard...)

"Secondo l’Autorità, le società hanno legato all’utilizzo del servizio Logistica di Amazon l’accesso a un insieme di vantaggi essenziali per ottenere visibilità e migliori prospettive di vendite su Amazon.it. Tra tali vantaggi esclusivi spicca l’etichetta Prime, che consente di vendere con più facilità ai consumatori più fedeli e con maggiore capacità di spesa aderenti al programma di fidelizzazione di Amazon. L’etichetta Prime consente, inoltre, di partecipare a eventi speciali gestiti da Amazon, come Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Prime Day e aumenta la probabilità che l’offerta del venditore sia selezionata come Offerta in Vetrina e visualizzata nella cosiddetta Buy Box. Amazon ha, così, impedito ai venditori terzi di associare l’etichetta Prime alle offerte non gestite con FBA."

Automatic translation by DeepL: "According to the Authority, the companies have linked the use of Amazon's Logistics service to access to a set of benefits that are essential for gaining visibility and better sales prospects on Amazon.it. These exclusive benefits include the Prime label, which makes it easier to sell to the most loyal and highest-spending consumers who are members of Amazon's loyalty program. The Prime label also makes it possible to participate in special events run by Amazon, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Prime Day and increases the likelihood that the seller's offer will be selected as a Featured Offer and displayed in the so-called Buy Box. Amazon has, thus, prevented third-party sellers from associating the Prime label with offers not managed with FBA."

Apparently this was an Android bug triggered by installing Microsoft Teams.
Amazons behaviour for which it was fined is not unique to Italy. It behaves the same in almost every country, but it's only Italy that is doing something against it.

The time when Amazon was something new and exciting and good for consumers is long gone. Now it's a monopoly that abuses its market power to stifle competition, and something needs to be done about it.

If other countries would follow the suit, e.g. Germany and France, which are much bigger markets, and in the end USA, or at least some US states, Amazon would be hit hard.

The law needs to be the same for all, and since "with great power comes great responsibility" even harder for those with much more power.

EDIT: Besides, Amazon in Europe is after accused to be responsible for tax evasion. This is a frequent topic in politics, but unfortunately only before elections. After elections, it gets forgotten and nothing is done about it until next elections.
Easier to just buy a eufy camera system and point it at the door.
At this point it is pretty clear that the EU politicians are targeting big-tech simply for being American.

Pretty sad we're not focusing instead on the reasons why Europe is under-represented in the big-tech scene.
Oh OK sorry I'm not a native English speaker so I might not chose the right words.

> Proponents goal is to make "similar" improvements provide the same net profit across the country, even if the rent for it is $800 in Detroit and $4000 in Manhattan. The taxes would be $300 in Detroit and $3500 in Manhattan. Therefore a developer looking for $500/mo profit could just as easily build in Detroit as in Manhattan.

Thanks, I understand a little better now. I'm still not convinced that such a thing will be viable, though.

The end result is still going to be that people will be willing to pay more to live in Manhattan rather than Detroit ($4000 vs $800, for example), and thus the effective rent being charged is not going to change.

> After the demand for housing was satisfied by supply rents would fall, and LVT would fall as well, such that landlords continue making $500/mo profit on each of those identical units.

Maybe; I remain unconvinced that simply replacing low-density houses with high-density houses in the middle of (for example) Manhattan is going reach a point where supply:demand ratio is the same as Detroit.

It would be interesting to see how this plays out, so I'm quite happy for this to happen :-)

What makes you think they don't include the price of the OS when you buy their hardware? In fact, that's how many justify paying a higher price for Apple products - you get macOS, Pages / Numbers / Keynote, iMessage / Facetime etc. That's also why they stop supporting old hardwares after a period.
