Other PiBox / KubeSail cofounder here. I put in an enormous amout of time into designing around components that can be easily sourced and are stocked regularly. A good example of this is the SL2.1A USB hub we use. The datasheet is in Chinese, but after testing it on several prototypes, we saw great reliability for 1/10th the cost. And its always in stock. Currently Microchip USB hub chips are either out of stock everywhere, or cost $5+, which doesn't make sense for low-cost Pi accessories.

The only issue we still face is sourcing actual Raspberry Pi compute modules. There's very little we have control over there.

I supported a lot of large enterprise and government clients around that time. Almost all of them ran Windows 98 on their desktops. I didn't see much penetration of the NT platform on the desktop until Windows 2000 and even then it was by far the minority. The NT platform didn't really take over the desktop in the enterprises I supported until Windows XP.
My wife and I need a new car sometime soon. Is there a company that makes cars that are reasonably reliable but that are without anti features like tracking, electronic everything, bs parts replacement costs due to ip, features you are locked out of via software, subscriptions, software preventing you from working on the car without a special license, ads, etc?

Look at the ways software is making the world a better place…
I think so many people focus on the personal emotional journey of Shinji and the horror of the Evas, it's so easy to miss how good NGE is at things like this.

Personally what surprised me on re-watch and through the rebuild-series is how much emphasis there is on the beauty of industry itself - so many scenes of machinery on landscapes. This is particularly notable with Ramiel, the beam-weapon octohedron - in the original series they explain that the weapon to defeat it will require all of the electrical power in Japan. In the rebuild, they make the effort of "we have to build electrical equipment to get all the power in Japan into one spot for a few seconds, and we have to do this in like a day or two" feel real and amazing.

As much as Evangelion is a story about isolation and loneliness, visually there's a sort of celebration of industrial civilization - especially the rebuild. Not just individuals, but kind of a "together look what we can achieve" thing. In most other series, the images of machinery and industrial equipment weaponry splayed out over beautiful mountain landscapes and put to task would be dystopian... but in Evangelion, the artists instead make it heroic.

The original series has this too - everybody loves the machinery of Tokyo 3, even poor Shinji, it's just amped up in the rebuild.
Thank you! I'm sorry to see this project give up, but I completely understand how painful the supply chain is right now
> Applying an equivalent tax on imports from countries that don't impose a similar tax, called a Border Carbon Adjustment, to prevent domestic manufacturing from being disadvantaged ... to encourage companies to audit their supply chain

Not that I'm opposed to the cause or aligning incentives in general, but practically, this just seems flat out impossible to implement in any way that has teeth.

Do we punish poor countries to not destroy our local business, or do we let them pollute to not further impoverish them (in which case they will just start doing carbon tax arbitrage)? Both solutions suck, but with different US demographics which makes the local politics tricky even when everyone agrees on terminal values.

Of course, the real elephant in the room is China! China will never let auditors hurt a local business besides occasionally destroying a Jack Ma. The company doing the manufacturing has an enormous incentive to lie since they get to pocket the difference (minus payoffs), the auditor has an incentive to lie as otherwise they would be fired/imprisoned/social-decredited, and the government has and will continue to lie/cheat/steal to protect domestic business. When we inevitably have incontrovertible, unignorable proof they are lying and lied for the last N years, do we start a trade war after local manufacturing has been destroyed and we are fully reliant on their goods? Do we just start a trade war up front to price in the lying from the get go which looks indistinguishable from massive tariffs... in any case, China won't retaliate for what reason?

> ...the maximally pessimistic value can be applied

Consider how truly feckless the US/WHO has been in addressing China on the now probably probable lab leak! There have been no consequences for refusing to cooperate in the investigation of the origins of a disease that has done trillions of dollars in damages and killed 5 million people (China threatened to withhold medical supplies at the start of the pandemic, so it goes, and its probably not within the interests of our own elites, either). Even if you think China has the same goal of reducing climate change, they will still keep two sets of books (or more!).

Anyway, this is a sort of visibility/legibility problem into other countries that feels really hard to solve politically. Every local actor is strongly incentivized to defect which makes the system untenable locally. It reminds me of tax collectors in medieval Europe, except, you know, it would be for the whole world.

> whatever it returned would just get inserted as a string into the log output, no big deal.

Once you can inject anything that gets resolved, you have an information disclosure vulnerability unrelated to the RCE.

If I can just DNS resolve any ${env} variable from the JVM, a lot of systems are compromised by just exposing the env or system variables configured for runtime.

Just getting your $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY env vars can compromise your bucket (sure, that is a really unsafe setup now, but it was almost the standard a few years ago over configuring it explicitly).

So a logging system which will merely resolve a hostname derived from a variable was bad enough to compromise many systems.

The serialization loophole was fixed in a jdk8 update.

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u/commit/006e84fc77a582552e71...

But even with that in place, the information disclosure of java System or env properties is bad enough to break actual systems in prod.

This is actually next level exposure, but I saw people trying to identify Tor node IPs using this method and geolocate them.

IIRC Australia had banned geoblocking, because it was mostly used to price-gouge Australians.
No, not the issue at all. The problem is that I refuse to pay a fee and use a tracking app just so I can use remote start features already installed on my car that don't need to be part of any paid monthly service.

My car should not require a cell phone with the maker's app installed on it, or even an Internet connection to fully operate... It's insane to think it should from a reliability standpoint.

But mostly within families, right? Admittedly I don't have any first hand exposure to these customs, but are red envelopes being given at work parties or between adult friends? The Wikipedia article cited in this thread is a bit vague on this:

"Red envelopes are gifts presented at social and family gatherings such as weddings or holidays such as Chinese New Year. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and is a symbol to ward off evil spirits. It is also gifted when a person is visiting as a gesture of kindness for visiting. The act of requesting red packets is normally called tao hongbao or yao lishi, and in the south of China, dou li shi. Red envelopes are usually given out to the younger generation who are normally still in school or unemployed."

I loved Sacred Economics and I'm all about figuring out how to reintegrate potlatching and other gift economy ideas into the western world. We desperately need mechanisms other than inheritance for transferring wealth to the younger generations. So I'd love to hear that these practices are occurring outside extended families, but that's not been my impression.
Okay great! Just wanted to make sure. I’ve recently used the CERN-OHL-P license for my hardware designs, you might want to consider that.

Why wouldn't it work? Bulk storage is bulk storage. As for booting from that... Linux has all the required drivers in the kernel, at worst (booting from radically different hardware) select a fallback initramfs with more drivers. If you did a bit-by-bit copy of your drive, partitions should have come out unmodified at the other end, including GUIDs and the EFI label on the EFI partition (if using EFI), or the bootloader in the MBR if using that.

Parent is talking about speed. There are different things in M.2 ports (as this is the form factor): SATA and NVMe, PCIe AHCI[1]. There was probably a slight incompatibility and a fallback to some other mode there.

Right, which can make it function a "real" gift because one type of gift is the thing that the recipient wouldn't splurge on for themselves.

Maybe they'd enjoy a meal at a fancy restaurant but they're also frugal and wouldn't actually go. A gift card to the fancy restaurant means they'll probably go there and treat themselves courtesy of you.

> When you live the suburbs (with a car or multiple cars), you have way more choices to grocery stores, doctor's offices, friends' houses, public parks, lakes, etc. Walkability means limiting choices, not expanding choices.

Walkability doesn't strictly limit choices, especially if you consider walking+biking+transit since they go hand-in-hand. E.g. compared to a car-oriented suburb, personally I certainly have more food options within an X-minute accessible radius, but I don't have as many nature options. It's a tradeoff.

I also don't need to drive, which is probably the freedom OP was talking about, and one that both of us value even if some others like yourself don't. I like that having a no-car option means it's easier to be healthy and active when walking and biking are practical choices for day-to-day errands, that I don't have to think about parking or traffic for popular events, that I'm more likely to bump into friends on the street, and that I don't have to think about designed drivers when alcohol is involved. You may not value any of that, but some people do, and so they prefer living somewhere with that choice.

It's fine if you prefer living with a car, but it's rather silly to say it "does not make sense" to consider it freeing to live in a place that doesn't require one given that many people make that choice.
Wouldn't your valet example be even easier with venmo? Or is it because the money has a QR code instead of the account - that could easily be done with venmo, but isn't, it's true.
With crypto I worry about the transaction costs dwarfing the utility of something like this. Without a central exchange avoiding fees for the tiny movement of crypto, you'd lose too much in transaction costs when setting up a new wallet to give away. But if you have a central exchange running it anyways why not just expose this UX over an existing cnetralized payment system like venmo?

It isn't really a goalpost move though, since that is basically what i meant with my original comment. And to me the Ubuntu desktop doesn't look that much better than the Etoile desktop (if anything one the most common comments i remember from the time is that it looked like "shit" due to the brown color scheme :-P), which again remember that it was never finished and had to work theme support in GNUstep - the applications of which (that are shown in screenshots) weren't even made with theming support in mind. The biggest issues that the Etoile shots have are bad text alignment and some unthemed or badly themed controls that are both results of their WIP theming efforts.

Also FWIW i explicitly remember a comment from an Etoile developer that their goal with Etoile's style was to avoid the "shiny" look Aqua had at the time (and other desktop themes, like Ubuntu's Human style shown in the screenshot, had copied).
It sounds like these people are naïve, I don't think they know much about broadcasting/media.

It sounds nice and utopian for the consumer, but do the economics even stack up, who is paying for this, most likely the consumer or the creative.

How could it even work with all the existing contracts in place, I'd assume they would need to continue, so even in this fantasy it would only be for new content, and how many years before that reaches tipping point?

> my dissertation research data collection Android app

Does it have to be an actual Android app? Could it be packaged as a progressive web app instead? If so, that might be the best way to achieve what you are looking for. Participants can just follow a link to your app's website which can prompt them to "Pin to Home Screen". That gives them an "app-like" experience where you can easily and quickly push updates without worrying about the Play Store or other app distribution techniques.
When I've seen CMOVcc, my mind jumped to the callcc name and now I can't stop thinking in what absurd way could you create an actual CMOV-with-current-continuation. Conditional-MOV-value-or-EIP-otherwise seems too trivial.
Using Netflix as an example. Without a VPN, some countries have less than 10% of the USA's movie/show library for the same price after conversion. This is ridiculous of course. And then there's locale shows (Danish, Polish, Japanese...) which aren't aired outside of those countries or a set of allowed countries.
It wouldn't really be the monthly subscriptions.

The engine wouldn't be bolted in, everything would be welded into place. Parts to repair it would not be accessible, except at Apple dealerships. If it doesn't start, you could expect to replace the Main Driving Unit at a price roughly 90% of buying a new one.* The entire car would have tamper sensors. Also, they would make the car one inch shorter every year.

I can't imagine Apple as a car company.

* Seriously, the main logic board seems to always be the culprit and the replacement cost is up there with a new item.

Someone being "hard to buy for" isn't a reflection of how well you know them (or if you don't know them). It is simply a reflection of not quite being able to buy them some of the things they'd really enjoy. It is hard to buy art supplies for the artist if you don't make art yourself, and it is similarly difficult to buy an avid reader books since you don't know what books they've read. On top of it all, they might not need or want much - or simply not express the wants well.

With Venmo, I still need to ask for their username. A two way transfer of information still has to occur. Same with current wallet-to-wallet transactions. Even if we are in the same app, I need to know your wallet username or address to send you money.

With cash, you can leave a tip in a tip jar, with no “end destination wallet” if you will.

This would aim to solve that issue. The key pair would be contained in whatever the handoff mechanism is (QR code?) so that only a one-way information transfer needs to occur, ie giving someone the QR code or handing them a gift card representation of it. The funds would be locked up in this handoff state until that person were to transfer the funds off or claim ownership another way.

As for the fees, I covered this in my other comment, but basically there would be no on-chain transaction. The funds would never switch wallets.

The fundamental problem is a lack of supply chain integrity. Customers can buy a million cables or laptop batteries directly from (country that shall not be named), but they have no idea if they're getting fakes or not.

The fix isn't "authorized" suppliers only, but requiring a reputable someone in the supply chain to maintain evidence of continually testing products advertising trademarked standards for compliance. If it's too much work, then boohoo, sad day for them, they don't get to be traded or sold in country X.

In all honesty, flooding a market with cheap, substandard products claiming standards they don't comply with is dumping.
