Its not totally fair to put this all on Chinese manipulation.

Western politicians and many "tech elite" all love the concept of CCP-style 'social credit systems' being instituted.

This is ultimately what vaxpass is all about.

Knowing Oracle it will eventually become a nightmare anyway (whoops, we accidentally billed you $70 for the free-tier, but you need to manually call this long-distance number between the hours of 9am-4pm to reverse the charge and this also happens to be our sales dept)

Perhaps I didn't make my example clear. Imagine loop with 2 switches...one switch 1 LY away...another switch 1 meter away.

Derek flips the 1m switch and light instantly turns on: What does that tell you? Derek flips the 1m switch and light doesn't turn on: What does that tell you?

How were you able to find out that information before waiting 1 yr?

Imagine the same loop as Derek setup in the video, but where it extended into next galaxy (say 1 light year away). In next galaxy there is another switch - we don't know if the position of that switch is open or closed...

Now when Derek connects his switch and light nearly instantly turns on...this is obviously telling us information regarding the switch 1 Light Year away. How does this not violate General Relativity since seemingly that information is traveling faster than speed of light?

Thats probably true to a degree, however I think the system will breakdown this decade. Given current inflation rates, anyone with an IQ >120 will soon see that the debt/benefit ratio is becoming unworkable.

The last 2 employees my company hired actually game via github - we were using an open-source repo that someone had made and eventually reached out and asked him if he wanted to consult for us and add some features to his code...that lead to an ongoing basic permanent consulting gig.

I commented in that thread "this sub is probably not the place for these overtly political posts"...the mod responded to me by banning me for "advocating politics / agenda pushing"...its literally orwellian newspeak site.

It only makes sense that his architecture style would also favor brutalism. He probably repurposed some of the designs of the old commie-blocks from eastern europe.

Self-driving has continually been proven to be a "not-ready" piece of tech...can't imagine allowing this.

This sounds like a made-up concern.

How do you stop me from screenshotting your convo and posting on twitter, or just copying and pasting from one app to the next?

* Local RPI / Container connects to message queue in cloud * Web User inputs request to Web UI (cloud) * Local RPI / Container retrieves request via queue and access final device * Reports status back to queue which is then reported by Web UI

Basically the local device is your router using whatever message queue you want.

Our solution has been to basically mandate that the user install either a small embedded device (ie. RPI or equiv) or manually launch a container. These essentially just serve as a local websocket / api router so Chrome connects to some local "device/container" and then that connects to all the local devices.

Although this is a logistical hurdle, its actually simplified other aspects of development since now this device/container has a bit of intelligence and can act as real middleware to simplify what the UI needs to contemplate. Basically MVC-style development using hardware bits as Controller.

MacOS and Windows have figured out that showing a GUI ASAP satisfies the user. Even if in the background its still negotiating networks, initializing sub-systems, etc.

I wonder why Linux has not yet taken that approach? That is move GUI far up in the init-queue and let it initialize networks, avahi, resolved, firewalld, etc as GUI is showing login screen...

aka. Propagandist

I could:

(a) Run all as docker-compose type solution

(b) Run all as scripted Nix solution

(c) Install packages manually on general purpose OS

Lets ignore "c" for the moment as the goal is to avoid that exact scenario. Given the prevalence and widespread support for "a" why should sysadmins choose "b"?

Trying to make blanket statements leads to incorrect conclusions...there are a myriad of cases where consumers prefer classes of transactions to be digital-cash like.
