I’m a big proponent of open source hardware but as your post shows it often involves skills of many disciplines that requires vigorous thought or trial and error. Electronics and physics are unforgiving in a way processors are not.

Even after reaching the prototype phase, the open source hardware is probably only useful to one person: it’s creator.

There is a big difference between making a prototype and detailing the build in sufficient detail other hobbyists can replicate it / modify / use it. Documenting hardware is substantially harder than documenting software. If the project is cool a bunch of people will be excited to jump in; some of these people have zero experience soldering or ordering laser cut parts or whatever. Supporting them is hard.

Then another step up to sell the design to other hobbyists, even just a few extra copies on Tindie.

And then a huge step up from that to selling to the general public, where suddenly FCC interference certifications are needed and the company is liable if the design burns down a few houses. There’s a reason firms making hardware have real engineers on staff held to professional standards. Plus all the cash flow and business concerns when the marginal cost per unit isn’t under 1 cent like software.

Each of these steps often involves multiple iterations of hardware and therefore lead time and cost.
I think that's a bit harsh of a criticism.

Up until very recently gaming on ARM was a non-starter. Even today, majority of the Steam library probably cannot run on ARM even if they tried.

We can't dig Valve here, especially given the impressive amount of work they've already plowed into gaming on Linux in general.

To abuse a meme I find funny - "let [Valve] cook".
> Women do not need a bachelor’s degree to learn how to not get pregnant.

That is because educated women might choose to pursue a career or have fewer kids, not because birth control is hard to understand.

Besides, empower women to do what they want with their life instead of being walking incubators.

This must be the most superficial comment I have ever read on HN.
A thing preventing people from going into hardware(prototyping) is the cost. Software is cheaper than hardware. i.e. i

GDP is a proxy for 'amount of work done that people were paid for'.

If I pay Fat Tony to break your legs, and then you pay a doctor to put them back together, this whole adventure increased GDP, but is a net-negative-sum activity.

"People have to do more work to accomplish the same amount of results" isn't a worthy goal in itself.
Back in the nineties a lot of the best creative tools were Mac-only. People who grew up with that and are now running studios/shops/etc are used to doing things the Mac way, and are only going to bother changing if they have a compelling reason.

Is there any way to tie an expectation of long term security support with legal protection of the product against competitors/reverse engineers/other parties that manufacturers may not want looking too closely?

I’m not suggesting granting additional protections to manufacturers, but codify an expectation of “if you abandon it, other people can come in and potentially salvage it”

Wake up 6am and walk into shower, turn on cold water and pull the mechanism to turn on shower head.

It’s the hardest thing I have to do upon waking up. I don’t want to be uncomfortable or even wake up. But I must do it. Honestly it might sound stupid to other people but it takes me a moment to brace myself for the super cold water.

Takes about 15-30 seconds to get past the shock and I’m wired for the rest of the day. It is better than coffee.

This isn't a new problem, there are complicated architectures to deal with process issues around lawful intercept:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6...

It says it's from 2015, but the Catalyst 6500 product line is much, much older. And quite a few companies sold both mediation devices and encryption software.

All these problems exist with access to metadata, so police and service providers already need to address them today. I'm not saying that this isn't challenging (maybe it is, I don't work in this field), it's just that handling content (especially text message) within the existing framework wouldn't be such a massive change because of the existing infrastructure and procedures.

The article is based on an analysis of a Canadian firm that bought the phone on the open market, tore it down, and confirmed the chips were made by SMIC.

There is no reason why China needs to be better at mass production than TSMC. They just need to be able to do it, because they can't reliably buy chips from TSMC anymore. The evidence is overwhelming that yes they can do it.

Without competition from TSMC the price merely has to be reasonable, not competitive, so I don't see why they would go the GloFo route either.

The second I think is mostly abuse of the Kickstarter mechanism to push it more towards pre-ordering and marketing. It would be better if Kickstarter would not engage in these even if they improve the stats because it raises expectations for the kind of projects that Kickstarter was created for to begin with to unrealistic levels.

Magisk and Shamiko together have been working well for me to hide root from Google Pay/my bank app for the past year or so (fingers crossed, ymmv). Highly recommend the experience of having a rooted phone though, it's a nice feeling controlling your device, especially being able to control the traffic and just like... run unix utilities natively. I really wish it was something I didn't have to spend so much effort achieving but it has been worth it. I find the experience of using a device I don't have full control over beyond irritating.

I agree that empathetic, compassionate human connections are way more useful than therapy is GENERALLY. (Therapists that function in an occupational manner, such as doing exposure therapy, DBT, EDMR, etc is different and I do not want a trusted friend to do any of that to me!)

I however would push against doing away with the credentialing process. You can threaten an abusive/shitty therapist with losing their license. There are plenty of absolute quacks, especially religious-specific therapy, and being able to say "do not associate me with these dumbfucks" is important. [It's not uncommon for religious counseling to discourage reporting rape or child abuse!]

My first thought too.

There was something recently about hacks using actual sounds from a keyboard (which is an old thing) but someone commented that they had trained an AI in 30 minutes or so that had about 90% accuracy -- I think someone used this technique to hack a phone scam group too, just from listening to them typing over the phone as the scammer targeted them. Hot!
Yes, the consumer would benefit. But Consumers are not a concrete interest group like “property insurers”. They lack the concentration of economic power need to cover the costs.

Here is a less scatological parable about GDP.

Alice loves widgets. She would pay $100 for a widget. She goes on line and finds Bob offering widgets for sale for $100. Err, that is not really what she had in mind. She imagined paying $30 for a widget, and feeling $70 better off as a consequence. She emails Bob: How about $90?

Bob feels like giving up altogether. It takes him ten hours to hand craft a widget and the minimum wage where he lives is $10 an hour. He was offering widgets for $150. $100 is the absolute minimum. Bob replies: No.

While Alice is deciding whether to pay $100 for a widget that is only worth $100 to her, Carol puts the finishing touches to her widget making machine. At the press of a button Carol can produce a widget for only $10. She activates her website, offering widgets for $40. Alice orders one at once.

How would Eve the economist like to analyse this? She would like to identify a consumer surplus of 100 - 40 = 60 dollars, and a producer surplus of 40 - 10 = 30 dollars, for a total gain from trade of 60 + 30 = 90 dollars. But before she can do this she has to telephone Alice and Carol and find out the secret numbers, $100 and $10. Only the market price of $40 is overt.

Alice thinks Eve is spying for Carol. If Carol learns that Alice is willing to pay $100, she will up the price to $80. So Alice bullshits Eve: Yeh, I'm regretting my purchase, I've rushed to buy a widget, but what's it worth really? $35. I've over paid.

Carol thinks Eve is spying for Alice. If Alice learns that they only cost $10 to make, then she will bargain Carol down to $20. Carol bullshits Eve: Currently they cost me $45 to make, but if I can grow volumes I'll get a bulk discount on raw materials and I hope to be making them for $35 and be in profit by 2016.

Eve realises that she isn't going to be able to get the numbers she needs, so she values the trade at its market price and declares GDP to be $40. It is what economist do. It is the desperate expedient to which the opacity of business has reduced them.

Now for the twist in the tale. Carol presses the button on her widget making machine, which catches fire and is destroyed. Carol gives up widget making. Alice buys from Bob for $100. Neither is happy with the deal; the total of consumer surplus and producer surplus is zero. Alice is thinking that she would have been happier spending her $100 eating out. Bob is thinking that he would have had a nicer time earning his $100 waiting tables for 10 hours.

Eve revises her GDP estimate. She has committed herself to market prices, so it is up 150% at $100. Err, that is not what is supposed to happen. Vital machinery is lost in a fire, prices soar and goods are produced by tedious manual labour, the economy has gone to shit, producing no surplus instead of producing a $90 surplus. But Eve's figures make this look good.
I’ll preface this with the fact that I am a security engineer (‘penetration tester’) but I probably don’t live in your country.

I care more about my privacy than I do about the security of my device, but an architecture that supports the second almost always supports the first (my neighbours hacking my zigbee isn’t a threat model almost anyone should be concerned about, unless there’s a pattern of hacking en masse).

I found out my smart lights literally have a microphone in them the other day, under the guise of ‘plays light to your music’ or something.

I architect my IOT by implementing a network without internet, fronted by home assistant - that way my devices can’t ‘phone home’ which who knows what privacy infringing crap.

I know that botnets driven by iot is a real and ongoing problem, but it’s a problem that is probably not going to get much vendor buyin without regulation, but what I’m pointing out is that it’s not the only threat facing these devices.

I want:

- clear guides on what data is collected, I don’t trust they’d only use it the way they say they will so I wouldn’t bother reading that part, if it existed

- the ability to opt out of any data collection aside from anything required to do technical updates. I want any data transfer to occur in a clear and auditable way (e.g the ability to inject a root CA and perform a mitm if I wish)

- enough protocol spec that at least basic functions can work offline via a system like home assistant

These won’t directly solve the ddos vectors, but they will solve the problems that come shortly after on the timeline.

It is a continuum. Your light switches are close to the Alexa side of it alas.

Yes, we should. But alas, the incentives run the exact reverse today. Today they get to monitor your usage of the lights, resell the data, etc.

You are part of the product.

OTOH: If I look at this as a vendor, where else where the light switch go for updates?

I'd be VERY hesitant to direct wire any IOT device into my house, if I wasn't comfortable ripping it out in 6mo, when the company decides to desupport it and kill the app.

For me this is a the exact opposite problem: I won't adopt until I know that these issues are ironed out, or I accept that the device is 100% disposable.

There's cases where I can't avoid it, TVs, Cars, etc. It is pushed on me, like it or not. For those, I truly do want safe mode, so I can pick how it networks.

To me this generation is lost. I accept that. It is sad. I want to win the NEXT one, or the one after. And only by making the life cycle EXPLICIT will we do that.

A slightly poorer experience for a distro's non-flagship DE is one thing, a major binary being outright missing is another. This should have still worked - Ubuntu does support adding KDE by installing that package, kubuntu-desktop depends on plasma-workspace which contains /usr/bin/ksplashqml.

Carbrain. Their car transcends responsibility and law.
A required support period of some number of years is problematic for products developed by startups, because startups cannot guarantee that they will still exist to provide support in several years. They can have the best of intentions and excellent engineering, but still fail in the market and be unable to keep maintaining a device. So requiring security support for several years wouldn't have any effect on these devices, because the company will be gone and there won't be anyone to take an enforcement action against.

For a labelling program for this type of company, you could require additional disclosure to consumers at the time of sale, along the lines of "We can't guarantee that we'll provide security updates." Or you could require open-sourcing of firmware if a company goes defunct. Or perhaps device manufacturers could be required to hand the technology of to some third party maintainer if they go under.

Any regulation at end-of-support-life has the "company disappears" problem, so probably disclosure at time of sale is the only thing that could be reliably enforced.
Virgil compiles to Wasm and brings its own GC as well, and the runtime is on the order of about 4KB. The GC is a simple semi-space copying collector and the compiler prunes away dead code from libraries, so binaries are pretty small. So overall I don't think this is a Wasm issue as it is mostly a language runtime size issue.
