I'm glad to see so much interest in devices like this. I hope they succeed. I own an Onyx Boox Tab Ultra, which I've been enjoying tremendously, and specs seem to compare favorably to this.

Doesn't seem to be for sale at the moment, but the version with a color epaper layer is: https://www.amazon.com/BOOX-Tab-Ultra-Pro-Digital/dp/B0CHM54...

Do you have more details on your display technology and how it performs? Any demo videos? It sounds like this is the key selling point?

I'd also be curious to see more on the software side of this product - stock android isn't perfect for an eiknk display.
It's nice to check if you're about to extract a 1MB tarball into 2TBs of data before actually running out of disk space.

Most tar programs do prevent extracting tarballs containing absolute paths (like '/etc/passwd') and relative paths (like '../../../etc/passwd'), but older tar programs still allow that. And programs written in Go, because of course: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/55356

Overall, if your HDD size is infinite and you're using GNU tar, or another recent tar, you can skip 't' I think before doing a '-C' extraction into some safe directory.

Stalin would object and claim it was Japan that started the war, and he signed Molotov-Ribbentrop because the allies were purposefully giving Germany a long leash and appeasing them and Japan so they could go around thrashing people and become a bigger menace to contain the soviets. Japan and Russia were fighting eachother long before poland got invaded. Molotov-Ribbentrop happened AFTER the appeasement of Hitler. Stalin would argue it’s not a way to make friends with Hitler - but a way to fracture the fascist-imperialist-capitalist bloc while giving the glorious Soviet Union a free hand to liberate the workers. It was an enemy of my enemy is my friend situation.

Realistically, no matter what Stalin did, Hitler was always going to go stomping around Europe, Germany was backed into a corner by debt and spending into doing something to expand the economy, and the Nazis were very ideological about these matters practical concerns be damned.
Ask HN: How do you convince a company to transition away from its own jargons?
Like many start-ups, the company that I work with has developed its own definitions and terminologies that are unintelligible to outsiders. I experienced this before and found it very hard even when there were business/financial/legal implications (e.g. calling something a safety device when it wasn't).

For people who have been with the company for a very long time, everything is very consistent and it all makes sense which it sort of does once the whole history is explained. However, this makes poor UI/UX and quite confusing to everyone else, including customers.

Wondering if anyone has experience dealing with this and how they approached adopting more standardized nomenclature consistent with the product industry that they're in?

I took Nature of Math from Lehrer in the 90s. He said on the first day of class that the class was for non-STEM majors and if any of us were science majors he’d find us and kick us out.

He was bluffing. I stayed and loved every minute of it.

Ford hired a singer to impersonate Waits in a parody of a Waits song in his exact style.

OpenAI hired a voice actress with a pleasant, low, breathy voice who shares a hint of a regional accent with ScarJo to be one of a bunch of voices for their models. Eight months after releasing it, the CEO tweeted "her." It's not illegal to hire someone who sounds a bit like a celebrity for something, and certainly not one who literally sounds more like a different celebrity (Rashida Jones).

This isn't a violation of rights of publicity for a number of reasons, but the most dispositive of them is that she doesn't actually sound that much like ScarJo. There's no vocal fry! That's the most distinctive part of her voice!
It’s actually just a few comments away, and visible for me from the parent to your comment

> Well, from the start, Altman wanted SJ to do the voice. Perhaps he'd never seen or heard of the movie "her", and the association is just coincidental? After "she" said no, then Altman auditions a bunch of voice talent and picks someone who sounds just like SJ.

I suppose some might imagine asserting the opposite as a distinct concept from disputing but there you have it. You should be able to find a link quite easily.

Prices on repair parts is the issue IMHO. I have a $1000 Samsung Washing machine. Had a similar issue with the control board dying. If I had to replace it myself, that circuit board is a $400 part. Without labour. You can't return it if it doesn't fix the problem. I just cannot see how it can cost $400 to supply a board that is part of a $1,000 washing machine including retailer margin. Once you add in $100-200 to have someone actually fit the part... it's just silly.

So the whole thing gets binned. Because for twice the price you get a new everything with 4-5 years warranty. Car spare parts also have this issue. It gets even weirder, every dealer for Mitsubishi Australia sells spare parts for literally 5x the price of the same OEM Mitsubishi part but ordered from Amayama. This held true for a stack of parts I checked from a $0.30 washer to a $120 shift fork to go inside a gearbox. More recently I looked at the ABS Control Module and it was only 2x but that's a $2,000 part. $2,000 OEM from Amayama, $4,000 from a dealer.

I get that there is some overhead in warehousing spare parts for years, but still. There is clear profiteering and something needs to be done if we're going to be remotely sustainable long term.

Never mind that we've been building modern washing machines and dishwashers for 20+ years and yet every model from every manufacturer uses a different unique part, made from scratch, which managed to make the same mistake 100 other versions of that part have made and fixed causing them to often fail.

I'm ranting, oops...

> I dont' think i've ever seen one - if you do find a $90 one it's essentially the $25 one in a fancier looking shell.

I think this is a huge problem. If you don't know a good brand (or can't trust the brand), why risk the $350 one when you can buy 14x $25 ones for the same cost and maybe get lucky?

Take the humble toaster for example. Are there some nice, well built, repairable ones that can (possibly) make the toast of angels? Sure, I've heard good things about Dualit[1]. But I bought a generic Black and Decker toaster for $15 over 20 years ago and it continues to work just fine. I would have had to replace that toaster roughly every 3.5 years in order to get over the cost of the cheapest Dualit toaster. It's not fancy and not consistent, but it is functional, and I can more or less guarantee that walmart will be selling it or a similar item for decades. Buying a more expensive "repairable" toaster from a small brand is just a risk that doesn't make a lot of sense, even before you factor in that repair shop labor is going to be in the $40-50/hr range.

For some reason that I don't understand, the IEA mostly reports the amount of capacity added to energy systems per year and the changes in that amount. So that 50% number isn't the growth rate of solar PV energy capacity, it's the growth rate of the growth rate. OP is talking about the growth rate of the percentage of the system that is solar.

It's the equivalent of if they identified something's velocity and you tried to contradict them by pointing to its acceleration.

> Institutions will stake their tokens and have disproportionate voice in the consensus

It's incredibly unlikely institutions will ever own enough ETH to have a disproportionately large share of the token supply, even as a collective. The cost of ETH would rise increasingly as any entity gains more ownership, such that what you're describing would become prohibitively expensive.

In any case, as hanniabu stated, this is not how Ethereum's proof of stake works. Mere token ownership doesn't give you a say on protocol consensus. You would need to run validator nodes, and control 51% of staked tokens. And as noted earlier, that second step would cost you north of $200B (theoretically) in today's numbers, likely north of a trillion in practical terms.

Editing to add:

> Yeah, not sure it was possible given the incentives.

It's a decentralized network. No one entity gets to determine what any other entity does with their tokens, so long as it's legal. That really is the point.

Congrats on the launch, but this is kind of a kick in the nuts.

Mild edit: I checked a UK address and it turns out you can put it in a DHL box with a different country's name on it, you just can't print the word Australia on the box. Nice. If this is because the device can't stand up to kangaroo rides, can I have one if I assure you that I won't take it with me when I hop to the shops?
Termux.

I love terminals, and to have one on the go is a godsend.

I believe i lived up to that ethos on this occasion. I gave multiple reading to your comment. And when I concluded that I do not understand your thesis I wrote a very carefully worded message to let you know.

In fact it seems someone else already wrote you a comment with the same message. They told you that they don’t understand you, and you responded as if they disagreed with some detail of your point. When I would have expected that you either ignore them (as is your right) or that you clarify your overall thought.

Of course, it's not epaper - but it is technically feasible.
I would probably try talking to my parents again if they actually gave me an apology for something they did and left it at a straight owning of their error.

African Americans are more likely to be lower income, lower income folks are more likely to live in housing that is not up to code (missing sprinklers, detectors, fire escapes, and run by slumlords who simply don't care in ways that would likely be shocking to most decent people who haven't lived near the poverty line), where many, many people live in a single unit to make it affordable -- or because e.g. an uncle just got out of prison or someone you know is having some kind of emergency. When you're poor, you have a lot of emergencies and you know a lot of people having emergencies. Someone in your network is always having an emergency.

And yes, when you're making $9 an hour and your rent is 2/3 of your income, buying batteries for your chirping smoke detector is not top of mind.
