zoteon Ask HN: Happy 404 Day. Whats your favorite 404 error page?

zoteon The rev.ng decompiler goes open source

The CTO has more recent commits, aleclearmind's commits drop to 0 after 2020 so maybe they also have a hard time getting to code.

zoteon No new iPhone? No secure iOS: Looking at an unfixed iOS vulnerability

I interpret their comment as suggesting that Apple should adopt a similar approach, and that Google, as a platform owner, should mandate this requirement for licensing Android™ (not AOSP) to other OEMs (I've had several phones whose bootloader couldn't be unlocked), and for this to be a practice enshrined by law for any other such companies that could operate in a similar position.

zoteon African Ports Overwhelmed by Red Sea Reroutings

> From what little I understand the Tanzanian government may be in the best place politically to use these stress tests to focus more attention on port health and capabilities.

The government isn't really in a good place to capitalise on this, they recently signed a deal with DP World to operate part of the Dar es Salaam port. Sentiment on the deal has been pretty negative (massive understatement of the year, no official polls but anecdotally, everyone was pretty pissed with it). https://www.ft.com/content/f5776df5-9375-438f-bbeb-bc7e8c296...

Considering this existing agreement, the murky dealings surrounding it, the circumstances we found out about it (it was leaked). I don't see them seeking anyone's attention, or even making a show of the increased burden to show that DP World or other "investors" are needed.

zoteon Why new furniture doesn’t last long

>I would wager that this is a proxy for the housing market. It's correlated with renting (majority) v/s buying (minority). And renters don't want the middle. That's pretty much how I view everything I buy. It's ephemeral.

Interesting I've never thought of it that way, anyways here's a great podcast episode from 99 Percent Invisible on the "missing middle" in terms of housing.
