ALGO 68 (dc) was the go to language for Burrough's [6-8]x00 variants.

These were fairly popular for awhile and supported advanced features like multiprocessing. The demand for exercising the full range of capabilities was kind of niche but an "amateur", like myself, could make a few bucks if you knew ALGOL.

I used to have the grey manual for the Burrough's variant - I'll have to poke around to see if it's in the attic somewhere.

Don't ban advertising but also don't treat commercial advertising as pure free speech.

For instance, for false claims, make it easier to drag a corporation into court and get legal remedies commensurate with the damage or potential damage caused by their dishonesty.

Right now the bias is towards unfettered, dishonest and psychologically manipulative commercial "free speech" with no guardrails the average person can enforce.

So, saying "we think this is the best detergent ever" is fine. It's clearly an opinion. But false or generally misleading claims, especially those that cover-up the potential dangers of the product, could lead to punitive damages sufficient to be a deterrent.

Sponsor open source code and open source hardware solutions that DIY folks can put together at $300 or below price point.

Gold star if you sponsor an independent test of this solution to verify its effectiveness.

Bonus points for explaining what matters in terms of testing.

Self-serving (which is OK in this context) points for explaining how your product mitigates the problem by demonstrating the DIY metered results.

I mean... first of all I would like to hear what are the consequences of good/bad IAQ (Indoor Air Quality?)

I'm actually more driven/interested in data/compare it to other folks, but I don't have a clue what does it mean for my health. What's the difference between PM2.5, PM10, PM1, PM0.1. What is TVOC (as in sensor description: benzene,etc Volatile organic compounds), HCHO (is for formaldehyde). How do I measure them (parent expands on these questions), what are the "norms" and, most importantly: WHY should I care about those values?

Then ofcourse tips on HOW to decrease those particles. That's where filter comes in, yeah. First time someone said he just slaps filter on an air ventilator, I was like: "Wow, it's SO simple? Yeah, sounds logical"

That’s one of the reasons I’m asking - the supply chain is really split up.

1/ lots of medical studies cover benefits of better iaq

2/ filter design is well described in academia and by filter makers (grade of media chosen, pleat type, system specs)

For both, we could do some education modules if we did this.

We can pay for the testing all day long - we are a major customer at most testing labs.

How big of an award gets attention?

$1k for the best? $500 for runner ups? Testing for all?

There are lots of ways to export like this https://github.com/SoftwareArtisan/signal-backup-exporter

Seems like that only works on older versions? (The readme notes "55 or prior")
