You just described the Toyota Hilux Champ

$13,000 brand new

If the Hilux is the terrorist’s choice this is the Myanmar Rebel’s (SE Asian market only)

———

Although my two cents as someone not blocked from Toyota’s best utility vehicles like those in the states are:

The Toyota Landcruiser 70 series is the greatest pickup truck of all time bar none

Essentially it’s the apocalypse version of the Hilux

Only really ever popular in the middle east and Australia

I see quite a few custom 6x6 double diesel tank variants in outback Australia

Unfortunately Toyota realises how good it was/is and remarketed it at a price of ~$120,000 new
Rhino horns are not made of ivory.
You are making it sound like the Kei market makes more than just a very very tiny portion of total sold trucks in the US. Its not, it is very much a niche market.
It depends on how different were the manufacturing processes.

Newer improved processes usually have some extra masks that would need to be generated, besides shrinking the masks of the original set.

Also, the original masks may need to be shrinked non-uniformly, i.e. by modifying the size ratio between holes and covered areas, not by a simple geometric shrink.

Even when the new masks could be generated mostly by shrinking, there is no chance to make such a complex device work in the new manufacturing process without reverse-engineering it. Correct behavior may depend on timing relationships that would be changed in the new CMOS process and which could require small schematic changes for compensation.

After the schematics is extracted by reverse-engineering from etched CPU samples or from a set of masks, it is probably as easy to draw again the masks as to shrink the old masks, even if the old masks or CPU samples would certainly be used as guidance for the floor plan.

Sorry but this statement is not true. Compare NYC today vs 1980s or earlier. There are more bike lanes, parks, walking paths than ever before. Roads in Manhattan are narrowed frequently to allow more pedestrians.

The west side highway is amazing for biking, I love it. Just because it is not Copenhagen or Amsterdam doesn't mean progress isn't made.

Very interesting. I'm 45 and recently became chronically constipated. I determined that I had somehow killed off my gut bacteria and began a treatment of eating nothing but cruciferous salads each day, supplementing with probiotics (with as many bacterial strains as I could get). I was eating yogurts regularly, but none of those contained enough bacterial variety (you need many more strains to maintain health).

This restored me to perfect function and taught me that my gut microbiome was fucked up for years, even decades.

I cannot believe how good I feel and how perfectly my digestive system functions now. When the constipation hit I thought I was literally dying. Even a 100% raw vegetable diet was not digesting properly and would takes days to exit at first. Any carbs or bread at all would jam me up completely.

I have been maintaining perfect gut function since then by avoiding alcohol and eating a wide range of raw vegetables and cruciferous salads to feed the bacteria. However, I'm able to digest anything now, effortlessly. Remarkable.
There is an ongoing debate in science regarding which compounds should or shouldn't be classified as vitamins. But that discussion is beside the point.

Not only are vitamins important, but minerals are too. We cannot produce minerals ourselves.
Magnesium is involved in at least 300 different metabolic processes.

If these essential compounds are not available, metabolic processes become difficult or impossible, eventually leading to chronic diseases that had been thought of as inevitable.

It is (was?) much worse than that. Last time I was forced to attend a Teams meeting roughly a year ago I used Firefox. The UI greeted me with two grayed out toggles informing that neither video nor microphone are usable. Out of morbid curiosity I enabled the responsive tester mode which, amongst other things, allows you to temporarily set the user agent string. I looked up one for Edge, grabbed the first I could find, reloaded the page, and... it worked. Joined the call with full features.

The main reason they became so gigantic is regulation. First, since "heavy-duty" vehicles are subject to less regulation, crew cabs demand soared (much cheaper than a regular car with similar room). Then, during Obamas presidency, fuel consumption standards were based on wheelbase and tread width. This meant that larger trucks had to be less fuel efficient, which meant they were cheaper.

If all vehicles were subject to the same regulations the size increases would have been in line with normal cars. If there was a lot less regulation and people weren't demanding so many gimmicks, you could probably get a very basic work truck, about as big as a Hiluxe, for $5k.
Not fully ruined... since the injections are typically not loose contamination, for fear that it migrates into the rhino via capillary action or irradiates the rhino more than people are comfortable with.

Smugglers would likely be able to use simple, cheap detectors to remove these.

Potentially they don't remove the pils, simply grind the horn + source into medicine... the amount of radiation will not cause acute effects to the person who ingests it and will likely just cause some "unexplainable" tumor or system failure later in life or after a prolonged consumption.

> The only sensible way to make the comparison is by total market cap

From the perspective of smugglers and their stuff, that's about the worst possible comparison.

So much so that yours is literally the first time ever that I've heard anyone even suggest market cap for a smuggled substance; looking at the definition of that term, I don't think that term is, or even could be by analogy, meaningful in this context.

It's always money per mass, £$€ per imperial or metric, never anything else.

My guess is by weight. (It also may be by volume, that I guess is very important to transport illegal things, but it's too abstrtact. [1])

Comparison by weight is useful to give an idea of the price. It's just like measuring distances in football fields. Don't worry too much about that. Also, a cargo ship full of gold [2] is probably very valuable, but a magical cargo ship full of rhino horns will probably collapse the market and be worthless.

Here is a list of most expensive materials per weight https://brightside.me/articles/the-17-most-expensive-materia... it includes saffron and antimater that have a very short shelf life, a few radioactive things that are expensive only beacuse they are difficult to produce [3]. If I had to stock huge quantities, I'd be very conservative and store gold and platinium.

[1] Gold has a huge value per volume ratio. Toilete paper not.

[2] Assuming it doesn't sink.

[3] Aluminium used to be very expensive, until someone invented a method to make metalic aluminium easily.

I'm reviewing the budget for our condo now and some of the renovation projects have a contingency budget of 25%. You would think that was overkill but the last project was an elevator upgrade where the city inspector sat on the permit for almost a year.
Exsept its not that simple, due to poorly conceived emmisons law (one.exempting larger vehicles from the standard) and an unfortunate tariff (see chicken tax) its better for the manufacturer to make ever larger vehicles to use the "small truck" loophole. Its hard to signal a size preference when they are all behemoths due to engineers finding a way to exploit the regulations by making the all cheaper when they are huge.
In any laptop, if you have IO on both sides of the laptop, then the motherboard is at least going to extend to both sides. There is no room for batteries. Especially with high speed data links such as USB3 and USB4 these days, you need a nice impedance controlled PCB to the edge or some expensive cabling or in the case of framework, IO modules that are pcbs with a connector bridging the distance further.

The opportunity is then taken to stuff the speakers in the framework in that same space.

It's literally no different than a MacBook Pro or other mfgs.

The only thing I could see is they need to figure out how to miniaturize their speakers to expand the battery size a bit. Or move the speakers to the main board and project out the top. Their speakers are currently larger than the competition and not really any better while stealing battery space.

I would love to see them offer a larger battery with the trade-off of the user removing the modular speakers. Because personally I think using sound devices in public is just fucking rude and I'll use better quality earbuds/headphones both in public and privately anyway.
I think most layout differences come from back then typewriters and word processors were the most that was available, and nothing got changed due to inertia.

Which is kind of my point. I don't care unless the US wants to change the law but its in a weird spot where if a state legalizes it, what class does the vehicle fall in because it should not be allowed on roads that get to highway speeds as it might pose a risk to the flow of traffic. Just like how in CA there are signs to say bicycles are not allowed on certain highways/freeways.

What is your point? I am simply stating that you are overstating the actual market share of this demand. I don't disagree, modern trucks are comically too large but Kei trucks are not a response to it.
For that, there is a saying: "code as if your kids will maintain it".

But it's not a consumption tax, it's a "congestion" tax. If there were no congestion there would be no reason for this to exist.
The other option is someone scouring through the mess of commits to find out what should be in the changelog or you have to update the changelog with each commit to the main branch. Which brings you back to the extra step on top of things you need to do.

So this is a way to reduce overhead, you need to write a commit message anyway so why not reuse that effort.

"Simple" projects like curl use their commit messages for the changelog.
"We quickly discovered, devils that we were, that if you stuck a simple diode with a 1.5 V heater in the tester and cranked the voltage to max it would launch like a little rocket."

Where I once worked we had several AVO Mk III valve testers† which we used in a nice little "demo" (for want of a better word) for both new employees and non-electronics types who'd occasionally wander into the engineering/electronics department.

We'd take a 7 or 9-pin miniature valve (preferability 9-pin) and place it under water and break the evacuating seal on its top, being evacuated the valve would instantly fill with water. Now with suitable settings on the AVO we'd get the water to boil with steam bubbling out of its top. This all happened whilst we nonchalantly went about our business pretending that nothing unusual was happening.

Sometimes the reaction from the newcomers/visitors was so funny that those of us who couldn't keep a straight face would quickly exit the lab and burst into hysterical laughter.

That was party trick number one, there were more: half fill a CRT with water by the same process and put it back into the monitor for some poor unsuspecting tech to discover. Another was our famous CO2-powered valve gun which we'd use to shoot 7-pin and 9-pin valves at high speed across the carpark aimed at the door of the electricians' department with whom we were continually at war. The valves would embed themselves in the wooden door up to the full length of their pins and rarely would the glass break. Electricians would come in next morning to find our little gifts awaiting them.

Yet another was the exploding electrolytic capacitor under one's seat. And there are many more to tell.

Believe it or not, we were quite a professional outfit and our work output was excellent. But it was the funniest and most enjoyable place I've ever worked at.

For almost 10 years, the core react developers would repeat incessantly: React is a library, not a framework.

In the past 2 or 3 years, they just "gave" up, turned it into the biggest most bloated framework in the frontend area while the official Web APIs in the browsers evolved so much that React is actually completely useless and now it is completely useless with a compiler.

I'm wondering if that was actually the reason they pivoted to this Frankstein? The loss of relevance as a frontend library.

Anyway, I jumped off the bandwagon and don't have a say in this fight anymore. But I'm doing my part advising every Junior Developer to not make the mistake of choosing React today.

what do you think "a regular user" of ubuntu/suse/fedora/arch/etc. looks like?

back when I was using arch I wrote pkgbuilds instead of configure/make/installing to my home folder. kept my ./local/(bin|lib|share) clean and meant I could update it easier or uninstall it with pacman.

As to runnning random build scripts, well I already do that anyway. Any software that isn't provided by my package manager requires me to run random build scripts from random people. I sure as hell am not reading through every line of code in say... trealla prolog before make-ing it.

Sure, the multiagent problem needs communication of the credible threat to the bad actors. "Credible threat" implies that bad actors don't collect information about the system, technical and non-technical, that implies the balance of risk and reward isn't tilted in favor of continuing their actions.
I think the dividing line is more "happens in anticipation there might be a user session which wants the data" and "happens as the result of a user session which wants the data" than it is about how it was done. E.g. prefetching content after a page load is done as a result of the user session getting to the page, it just as going around to any sites it can find to cache it on the chance the user might need them.

I'll take AUR over random blog articles telling me to add some obscure deb repository to my Debian/Ubuntu sources. At least AUR gives an accepted process to submitting and maintaining these third party packages. You can leave comments and read comments by others on a particular package. You can check the PKGBUILD which exists for every package and can be accessed in the same way for every package. And I do check every single PKGBUILD before installing some random package. AUR provides infrastructure and processes. It centralises the whole idea of "third party packages". Not having AUR just means everybody has their own repos for particular programs and no way for users to communicate in an easy and accessible way, which I think is pure insanity.

Honestly, I think AUR is one of the best things to ever come out of Linux, because it's not just a repository.
