What is the point of using an RPi for heavier compute, and not something like ODroid [1] [2] or a beefier Orange Pi [3]?

To me, the very point of RPi is to be cheap, slow, and hacking-friendly, with all these GPIO pins to control peripherals like a 3D printer, or a toy car / robot platform, etc. It was intended and initially promoted as an educational toy for schoolchildren, I remember it well. It fits fits to that purpose, and has nothing to do with higher-performance compute.

I think your second paragraph is imperative. The question was always what Teslas headstart in EVs would mean. Fundamentally it might just turn out the answer is "not very much".
Are there any brands you pick or avoid because of their politics? Hobby Lobby, Amazon, etc?

I’m not obsessively political about my purchases, but I’m also not 100% amoral/apolitical. I’m curious if anyone really is.
I’ve always answered that I use both Linux and Mac (recently I had to add windows as well) as I write on a Mac and run it on Linux. Regardless you shouldn’t just answer it as whatever your thin client is running as then the WSL option doesn’t make sense.
No. Interestingly, the root cause of all these positive correlations might be the same. One thing that Hydroxychloroquine is undeniably good at is that it's a very effective dewormer. Anything that is either caused or made worse by worms, or by the immune system going haywire because of worms, will be improved by Hydroxychloroquine.

So, it helped against covid (in key populations) because one of the key interventions against covid will kill you if you also have worms. So in places like Bangladesh and Pakistan where intestinal worm infections are common, covid outcomes improve because the worms got killed. If this[0] is correct (and it is a very new result, so might as well not be), the positive correlation might well be that your immune system stays calmer if you have no worms.

And what values are those?
I don't think that follows at all. Twitter is quite unimportant to me: I don't tweet, and very rarely look at anyone else's tweets either. Yet I'm fairly aware of Musk's behavior during and since the takeover, and while I admit I already had a somewhat negative view of him thanks to some earlier episodes, the Twitter saga has well and truly poisoned his personal brand (in my view).
It's the quality issue for me; someone described their Tesla as "Imagine if your printer was your car."
If you’re going to make the “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” point, then why bother with an EV?

For the same price, you can get a nicer ICE.

That is why Elon’s actions are so weird. I agree with you that a chicken sandwich or paper towel executive can do whatever, but EVs are a status and signaling thing…
Zigbee solutions seems to be ~10mA, while WiFi / ESP32 seems to be ~100mA.

The 10x difference in power can be papered away by running the radio 1/10th the frequency. Ex: instead of updating every minute (Zigbee), you can update every 10-minutes (WiFi).

--------

I think a lot of these WiFi internet-of-things are fine with the ~15 minute update routine to minimize the use of the (relatively power heavy) 100mA+ WiFi radio.

Zigbee is simpler, but not so simple that you can program it yourself. It is found in cheaper $5 microcontrollers with less oomph than the ESP32... and those microcontrollers also use less power since its just innately a slower protocol. Though... I guess ESP32 is also $5 so cost really isn't a factor anymore.

-------

The absolute limit of 10mA vs 100mA is also pretty interesting.

10mA is just barely what is reasonable to push out of a CR2032 coin cell battery. 40-ohms internal resistance at 3V, so 10mA is a .4V drop... which can be solved with enough capacitors to buffer up the current. A lot of these devices still work at 2.3V or so (-.3 volts from age, -.4 volts from internal resistance), so you have enough headroom for an IoT Zigbee radio with CR2032 coin cells.

You ain't getting 100mA out of a coin cell battery (lol 4V drop on a 3V cell), unless you're also adding a super-capacitor to the circuit or other rather significant forms of power-storage. Then again, 100mA is more than reasonable out of Li-ion / AA NiMH / etc. etc. So ESP32 is still a battery-operated device... just a larger one than any Zigbee solution.

Mind you, the CR2032 coin cell is designed to average ~0.4 mA or less. So you really need to keep the radio "sleeping" most of the time. 10mA is really close to the "temporary burst" limits of the cell, and you're already suffering from significant degradation of the cell's lifespan by running it at 10mA, even temporarily. But the fact that Zigbee "fits" inside of this means that you can design devices around CR2032 cells, rather than AA or Li-ion packs.

-------

EDIT: The setup/teardown speed of Zigbee is also much faster. IIRC, you can connect, send data, and disconnect in ~30 milliseconds on Zigbee. But it requires seconds on WiFi (find an Access Point. Call Access Point. Setup negotiations, etc. etc. 3-way TCP handshake: Syn, Syn-ack, Ack. And then HTTP finally begins...).

A 470uF capacitor can power 5mA across a .4V drop for 36 milliseconds. (I = C * dv/dt). Assuming half the power comes from CR2032 + the other half the power from the capacitor (that's not how electronics work but I'm doing quickie napkin math), that's 5mA from the CR2032 + 5mA from the capacitor. So the 470uF capacitor gives you the headroom to run other parts (sensors / uC, etc. etc.) within the 10mA limits of the CR2032 cell.

Good luck getting a capacitor to do that kind of work across the ~5 seconds needed to setup / teardown a WiFi connection.

Since "Energy" == "Power * Time", the 100x time to connect + 10x power leads to ~1000x energy usage in practice, for WiFi vs Zigbee.
Wow you really nailed your outgroup on that one!
Not only this, but gas prices are back down too. If you chart the sale of hybrids and such with gas prices, demand tracks pretty closely. Car market coming down from the stratosphere, impending tax credits, and reduced gas prices are a perfect storm for Tesla prices to fall like a rock.

They have a high unit margin and room to bring prices down, but there is substantial danger as others pick up the competition. Rumors of a Model 3 refresh soon are also floating, which may give the informed buyer some pause.
The styling looks really dated now too. Look at a Tesla next to one of the new Mercedes or BMW EV models. It's not good.

We undoubtedly do realize this, but underestimated the degree to which companies would use this to siphon as much money out of the consumer as they theoretically could. It has made for many aggravating experiences, and ruined a lot of products that used to work perfectly.

Why trolls will decide, just like now.
I have. Took a tour of a sustainable co-op farm one time, which had dairy goats and cows, and chickens. One person asked, "When the cows are old and you kill them for their meat, do you think they want to die?" Well of course they don't, but unfortunately these farmers don't have the spring of eternal youth so the cows are going to die at some point, might as well not let the meat go to waste. In my eyes the sustainable farmers were certainly doing a lot more than that guy to reduce the amount of suffering they put out into the world, but he had a definite smug satisfaction with his question.

(I will agree generally that vegans are mostly great people, but like any group of people in existence ever there are those no so great people among them)

I'm both excited for you and worried that over the medium to long term, companies will adjust the pay down to match people's locales and such salaries will be lower over time from more competition.

Sounds like a win/win to me. End the terrible scourge of child labor, and end the lesser (but far more prevalent) scourge of ubiquitous smart phones.
Its totally and completely normal in Qatar to confiscate passports of migrant workers - I'm not even sure it's actually even illegal.

So if a migrant worker called the police and said "my passport has been stolen" they'd be laughed at (and possibly punished for wasting their time).
Postgres's row level security is absolutely sophisticated enough to model arbitrary business security rules, probably with more precision than almost any other auth system in widespread use.

The issue with using it is more around its complexity, and difficulty verifying the constraints without building custom tooling for that. You almost need something like formal methods to model your security model.

But it's an extremely powerful security tool that if you're using postgres at all, is probably worth the effort spent learning and maintaining. And if you're going that far, you already have the skills and tools to run all your auth on it so why not.
Would the salaries be different for different remote locations though? If salaries were level then this would be a good thing for workers and for cities as well. Cities may as well get more decongested, rents may drop enough to become affordable and so on
The next sentence is:

The writer appears to be saying that there is no conflict between what he thinks is right and what the general public thinks is right. This is why I suggested naive or foolish might be better terms. I love Bonhoeffer, though!
It’s a priming effect. Once your brain sees “animal”, it associates the product or label with animals right away, before higher-level linguistic processing, an association which then has to be undone by the “-free”. That undoing is time-delayed and incomplete.

One common analogy is how when someone says “don’t think of X”, it’s hard to not think of X.

> Nothing I've said here is privileged, in fact most airlines operate this exact way.

I consulted for a few large carriers and this was my conclusion also. In fact most very large American enterprises have all the same issues. With airlines the problems simply become really visible all at once really quickly when things go wrong.

For the folks here on HN whose experience is mainly in Silicon Valley: it's hard to appreciate how little the execs at these companies care about software. They don't care, not even a little bit, and they definitely don't care what your opinions are. Their priority is growth, the stock price, and answering to the board (not necessarily in that order). The only carrier I heard about that cared for their IT was Continental and they were bought by United.

Compounding the issue is how staffing works at these companies. Being a full-time employee at an airline is considered attractive because you get benefits including cheap airline tickets. My understanding is that the airline ticket perk used to be much more awesome than it is today.

In any case, airlines bend over backwards not to have full-time employees. Depending on the company they have a vast army of contractors (on shore and off shore) who are on a revolving door policy lasting from 6 to 18 months. These folks come in, get trained up for a few months, turn around tickets in a grueling and dehumanizing environment, then they get to take a hike for a while until they can come back on another short-term stint. I had a colleague who had been full-time at SWA, he said his job literally only consisted of training people up on the systems, he rarely wrote much code himself, he was there to 'keep it all together.'

But honestly, the current crisis is not a surprise. The IT systems at big American enterprises are truly horrific. It is decades of homegrown software "integrated" with decades of acquisitions where systems are smashed together on short timelines in service of quarterly goals.

If you want to find the true culprit here, look up at the broader structure of the economic system. This mess is created by how we run the economy.

I think there is a clear distinction to be drawn here, the simplest being around a physical object or not. Looking at films or music, if you own the physical media and it can’t just be taken away from you (especially if you use a form of the media that is not internet connected, like a cassette tape). Buying the digital version is basically buying a revocable right to watch/listen to the media, rather than the media itself, so I would agree that the term buy is kind of misleading given the implied meaning of the word when it comes to this kind of thing. As the other commenter points out, buying a concert ticket isn’t implying buying the whole concert, and no one would think so, which is unlike what people think when they “buy” a digital movie from Amazon or Apple.

It was an absolute free for all when windows machines started to be plugged into campus networks.

The prankster's evolution generally went from net send to NetBus and then to Back Orifice in those days as the tools rapidly made such tomfoolery a point-and-click affair. Interestingly many of the features in these early Windows prankster/hacking tools heavily shaped modern day remote administration / MDM software. I actually remember BO being used as a proper remote management tool in some situations.

I think it's more than fair to blame the media, which has had centuries to build up their reputation and credibility. They were incapable of preserving public trust during a national crisis. They have all the advantages over individuals or fringe organizations. We aren't talking about a few thousand people that got indoctrinated into a cult, we are talking about millions of people, some highly educated, who turned away from the mainstream media altogether.
Those polished tools hide a lot of the underpinnings so that nothing is understood. We get header-only C libraries (not C++) because people don't understand build tooling and want something that works on easy mode.

I quite like Kodi and I really appreciate the work of the people that make it available for free. But it seems rather buggy.

I've had several versions of Kodi installed on 2 different media PCs. Each version was flakey in a different way. The current version (v18.0) won't let us see (or cancel) shows that we set up to record. So every time they re-run 'Impossible Engineering' (which is often) they all get recorded again. But I'm nervous about upgrading in case the more recent version is even more buggy!
