You seem to understand what I have. I'm looking to make one simple transaction to get rid of this material. For example I have common value R, C, & L SMD components. But other than a hobbyist, who wants a 1/2 reel of parts that cost $.0033 each?

I am not at all interested in taking the time to market this stuff. Nor do I want to deal with idiots on eBay, nor piece it out. This will be a near giveaway for the person or organization that is EASY TO DEAL WITH.

The fact we still are using bitmap icons seems really weird to me by the way. We should have switched to SVG as soon as screen resolutions and DPIs (e.g. on handheld devices) started growing.
No one is going to sell a device that costs significantly more than any other for the same power to provide what 99% of users would consider a sub par/ unusable display.

Like seriously can you imagine trying to sell a laptop that is unable to watch any media, play any games and has the refresh rate / perceived performance of a 15 year old tablet.

This stuff isn't ready to be a 'main' display yet.
Heh I suppose, you do pay just for the parts you use, even if you end up paying a lot more as a result :-)

Man I miss the days when Windows didn't treat me like an easily-exploited idiot. I used to get so excited when the new Windows came out, and followed its development like a true fan. I wish I could feel the same way I did the first time I installed Windows 95, 2000, 7.
I can probably tell you what it doesn’t mean: no thought will be given to the high number of US communities whose tree population is being decimated by invasive species and are unable to eradicate [let alone control] said species.

So to effect the tree equity program as described, not only would you need to plant a high number of trees in areas that historically did not have them (or could not support them), you have to account for the routine inspection, community outreach programs (“if you see this insect, say something”), infection treatment, and in advanced cases, destruction of infected trees which warrants additional resources for a shade tree commission in these communities where such commission (nor budget) may not have existed.

Pseudo-Ethics in the Surveillance Tech Industry
I do burden myself with these questions. My car has to be road safe for others. I can’t install razor wire on its outside - maybe makes me safer, maybe it’s just something I fancy, but I can’t. If I drive an oversized lorry into your car, which I can’t drive properly, you’d be justifiably angry, not just that it happened but that it was reckless and avoidable.

Plenty more examples if you like (building regs, gun laws, other areas of health etc), as a society we decided it’s ok to limit some personal liberties so we’re not endangering others.

If a humanist argument doesn’t apply, then well, tough. I’m in a majority demanding that a minority doesn’t make life significantly more dangerous for me.

So if you’re not getting a vaccine, what do you do instead?

EDIT the “I don’t care” argument runs out much more quickly. If you don’t care about my safety, why should I care about your convenience?
If you're trying to blind a spy satellite, you don't need to focus your laser through the atmosphere. Focusing through the atmosphere is what the satellite is built to do! The better the satellite's atmospheric correction, the more effectively your laser will be focused on the imager. Sure, maybe you don't burn it, but if you can saturate the right pixels... (Although the wavelengths used to create artificial stars are probably not ideal.)

Similarly with EM, the holy grail would be to send valid control commands to the satellite, or to jam the satellite during some critical period. Satellites are already designed to receive the signals.
Rules for Rulers (2016)
Graphical web browsers were originally made, like other graphical programs, for a screen with a resolution of (approximately, depending on hardware) 1200×900, where “maximizing” windows was not really a thing, since multi-tasking was what everyone did as a matter of course, with multiple programs open at the same time in their own window. Web sites were designed to fit in a comfortable window size of, again approximately, 600 pixels in width. Most PC’s were, at the same time, usually equipped with 640×480 screens, with only some PC’s having higher, so to see the whole web site on a PC you would naturally maximize the web browser program to the whole screen. Since multi-tasking was not really a feasible thing on PC’s back then (due to memory and CPU limitations), it made sense to give the whole screen to a single program, and PC windowing systems afforded this use.

However, when PC’s gained higher normal resolutions (800×600, then 1024×768, and higher) and multi-tasking became more realistic, this did not change the widespread user practice of full-screening programs on Windows! Instead, web site authors simply made web sites wider and wider. The users of large graphical displays did not initially complain, since their screens were wide enough to fit the ever-larger web sites, and these hardware platforms were falling out of use anyway.

And so we come to today, when we have more pixels than we know what to do with, and enough RAM and CPU to run umpteen programs at the same time, but web sites are still designed to be viewed in a maximized window, and users are still maximizing the web browser, and both web browsers and most operating systems are affording this use.

Why do you ask about iOS? How do you download Firefox in a Tesla? How do you download Firefox on a Nintendo Gameboy? Those are special devices which have special requirements. I wouldn't compare that to a computer.

On my laptop it's super easy. I opened Safari, went to the Firefox website, then downloaded it. At no point whatsoever did Apple bully me into not downloading Firefox.
Basically, this is not about operating system kernel but about the notion of running a single process with somebody else's PAAS, which runs an actual operating system with a kernel and virtualization layer.

Doing this on bare metal makes a lot less sense because then suddenly you need to worry about managing all the hardware, initializing it, dealing with file systems, storage, memory and all the other stuff that operating systems tend to do (or at least orchestrate). Modern VMs on the other hand don't really need to do any of that and simply hand off that stuff to the underlying OS via kvm or some other virtulization API. You could do all of that in your unikernel on top of bare metal of course.

That's what embedded software manufacturers of course do. They build firmware that goes into a ROM and the embedded hardware boots the firmware. That's a classic unikernel. I guess some network router manufacturers might do something similar though most of them seem to like running linux or bsd variants and not reinvent a lot of wheels instead.
These technologies already exist, I don't know why you talk about them as a hypothetical.

Do you not think that the existing technology that is deployed in real cars is actually working?
Jami doesn't need a web browser, and doesn't need someone to set up a server, AFAIK.

Pedantic HN style comment: doesn't half-life of 6 hours always imply "quarter-life" of 12 hours? :)

(though I wouldn't have realized that without your comment, so thanks for that)
If anyone wants to learn more about Unikernels, Ian (the author of the blog post for this HN post) was on my podcast back in April.

That episode is at: https://runninginproduction.com/podcast/79-nanovms-let-you-r...

It covers topics like what a Unikernel is, but also ways it can be practically applied to build web applications. We also talked about how he built a few apps using them. We also talked about a few of his open source projects related to Unikernels and how you can run them on popular cloud hosting providers today.
It would be expensive and mouse cursors are not the most enjoyable with these things. You really have to crank the speed to use a mouse cursor without extreme frustration on eInk and that comes with a huge quality loss. I imagine most people need color for certain tasks even if it's not accurate like making a PowerPoint or something. For most people I think it would be more of a frustration than a help when running Windows.

Boox and others like Boyue do make Android eInk tablets which are pretty flexible. You don't need a mouse either which solves that problem. Very good for reading PDFs. Termux and a good text editor like Emacs or Vim can let you get some work done.
I've worked with several Java evangelists in my career ... two stand out.

One had written several books on Java and was tapped to head up a new initiative. They "noped" out very quickly, "this isn't a project suitable for java" and recommended a couple of different architectures and platforms and went back to their less prestigious role.

The other was very active in the Java community and shoe horned Java into a very inappropriate product, costing the client $$$ and never reaching the MVP stage.

You could blame management for both of those situations; but one of those companies went on to a modicum of success in an acquisition because the engineer decided NOT to turn the chocolate factory into a car factory.

> imagine trying to sell a laptop that is unable to - watch any kind of media - looks 'laggy'

Imagine thinking that the consumer market is only for media consumers. There is a whole market of enterprise products out there, and there is certainly a use case for a _work_ laptop which needs no multimedia support.

I wouldn't argue that someone buying this machine would only use only this machine. But I know I am not alone in saying that this would be my daily driver when focus is required.

This kind of stuff ought to be regulated somehow, one can’t lose access to one’s life.

I recently wasn’t able to recover an old account because I did not have access to my 2FA number and their help site suggested I “contact the phone company to recover the number, then try again.”

I had to do the same exact thing for another service but they did allow me to change the number by providing some information like last transaction, ID, selfie with statement.

Sudo can use root password instead of user password. Possibly other auth mechanisms also. It may be better to fine tune sudoers than to leave it wide open.

> using rigorous languages and schemas

And what value does it add?

A vast majority of companies are working with < 1TB of data that sits neatly in a single cloud database. Python and tools like dbt are fantastic for a huge class of problems without compromising workflow velocity, and pushing transformations into SQL removes most Python-bound performance constraints.

Changing singer.io to require Thrift or protobuf schemas isn't going to add the value you think it is. How data is shuffled between systems is considerably less important and time consuming than figuring out how to put that data to work.

The old OLPC laptop had a weird screen which kind of became a black and white e-ink screen when the brightness got turned all the way down, and was a quite normal colour screen otherwise. No clue how it was made though, and if there has been any further work in that direction.

> How would you fix copyright?

By abolishing it. Which I don't think is that radical of an idea.

Would we come up with copyright today if we didn't have it already? I don't think so.

The system as a whole makes no sense as something that the government need to be involved in when it comes to enforcement and the "promotion of the arts"

If we're talking about wholesale reform the burden of proof is one those arguing for that continued trade-off being worthwhile.

Today everything from graffiti and the SMS messages you're sending to your mom, to a major Hollywood movie is protected under the same system.

You could always right point out exceptions like Banksy for graffiti, but does that mean it's worthwhile for society as a whole to apply these blanket protections just in case someone comes up with a a worthwhile work they'd like to commercialize?

The small bits of copyright that are worthwhile in practice could be salved under some system that worked much more like Trademarks or patents.

I.e. you can't set up your own news site that copied articles from the NYT on a daily basis and charged for them, or the same with movies, but it would be on the narrow basis of directly interfering in someone else's (business) operations in a way that shows real demonstrated day-to-day harm. Or, you could pay an exorbitant fee (like a patent) to buy protection for a specific work when used in a specific way, which throw a bone to "big copyright", such as Disney.

But to quote even an entire article in a book you're writing on the subject, or include a 20 minute clip from a Disney movie in a review you're preparing? The "copyright holder" shouldn't be able to do anything about that.

Copyright was implemented at a time when the government and the people had an interest in things like the newspaper being as pervasive as indoor plumbing, or the water supply.

It should probably be phased out in the say way many publicly run postal systems have (which you can argue is a bad thing, but it's absurd to claim that they're as relatively important to society as they were 100 years ago).

"I have given you that. "Bank account that can't be shut down" is meaningless if it doesn't provide any function beyond storing bitcoin."

You can not just store bitcoin. Your assumptions are ridiculously wrong.

While you can not pay everywhere easily with Bitcoin yet, you also have to think of it in terms of insurance. When pressure increases and more and more people get cancelled, more and more people will seek refuge in Bitcoin. There are many scenarios where Bitcoin can provide a way out. Extreme cases like having to flee the country - are you going to carry gold bars across the border?

A quick google claims 2 Billion unbanked people in the world. People who can't get a bank account for some reason or other.

With Bitcoin, nobody can prevent you from having a bank account.
So you'd prefer to be largely irrelevant but fashionable? When the EU has problems it complains to institutions founded by the Americans. There's a reason the US is pivoting its diplomatic focus to the UK, AU, Japan, etc. It's because the Europeans are happy to sit in their bubble pointing fingers while opining on why all their best talent leaves. Actually, that's a lie. Sometimes they also play with the definition of 'best' so that they can say lots of talent is still choosing to remain.
"applications they want" is kind of hard to convey though. If you run a game with a rootkit, is that something you "want"? If you open a malicious document and it ends up encrypting your data, did you "want" it? Do people who install toolbars "want" the spyware or cryptocurrency miners that comes with them?

A modern operating system tries to guess what the users "want", because that's by no means clear.

Of course, it's a matter of judgement, and judgement comes with its own problems.
