Zero Knowledge Proof

When you pay by credit card at, say, an eatery, you will have to key in your PIN into the credit card terminal (assuming no 'paywave'). This could be a vulnerability because the PIN could be captured by the terminal or an onlooker. Is there a way to use your PIN without revealing it? Sounds impossible but it is doable using Zero Knowledge Proof. 'Zero Knowledge' means you do not give confidential information to the verifying party, and definitely not your PIN.

Green Packaging

If you sort your thrash, you will notice a lot packaging is food packaging, from food wrappers to instant noodles (ramen) packets, to food delivery boxes and cutlery. This packaging is single-use and often plastic, which is harmful to the planet. Here are some old and new school alternatives.

Old School Green Packaging

Lemang - Savoury coconut glutinous rice bamboo + leaves
Ketupat - Steamed compressed rice cubes woven palm leaves
NasiLemak - Rich chilli paste rice banana leaf + paper
BakChang - Glutinous rice dumplings bamboo leaves
HorYipFan - Stuffed savoury meal basket lotus leaves
AisBolaSirap - Rose flavoured ice ball no packaging, use hands
RojakKeropok - Mini salad served on a prawn fritter the fritter [1]
Mobile Food - The vendor comes to your place your own plates

Banana Leaf - Used in many dishes as packaging, sealant, lining
Fresh Fruits - Comes with natural packaging: skin, rind, husk

New School Green Packaging

Biodegrable - Auto biodegrades (eg. in the ocean) but not compostable
Compostable - Can be mixed with food scraps, turned into compost
Tiffin Carrier - Reusable, food safe (needs modern engineering refresh)
Milk - Milk based film that is 250x more oxygen-proof than plastic
Avocado - Sustainable bioplastic businesss from avocado pits
Cassava - Edible, soluble bag made from cassava (the turtle can eat it)
Seaweed - The sushi roller to the rescue

Green Grant

MESTECC is calling for proposals [1 2 3] for turning oil plam residues into bioplastics. [We think that is the brief, read the sources for more info.]
Matching grants of up to MYR 5 million (USD 1.2 million) are on offer, open for application now.

Footnote

[1] The image for the Rojak Keropok is a rough approximation. Imagine a smaller portion of the same salad shown in the image served with only a dab of sauce on top a flat fritter the size of a palm. As one eats the fritter, one consumes the salad (and the packaging, the fritter) as well. The ice cream on a cone, the sandwich, hamburger and hotdog use a similar concept. Read also: green packaging, bioplastics.

Stock Exchange Demo Day

Demo Day at The Stock Exchange [Thu, 27 Nov 2018 @ HK tix]
13 startups [sample below] were picked for Brinc's autumn 2018 acceleration program. From 8 countries, the startups are in Hong Kong in November to work with Brinc, mentors and partners. Come and join the Demo Day at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Enerdrone - No-stop charging network for drones using wireless power
Popcom - Biometric blockchain kiosk for selling controlled items: cigs, meds
Eyedentify - Fit taxis and ride sharing vehicles with cams and panic buttons
Valkyrie - Tactile and physical force simulation in VR
BRS - Commercial and industrial floor cleaning robots
Top - Use computer vision to target herbicide at the weed not the crop
eColi - Test water real-time on-the-spot vs waiting days for lab results
BuzzCloud - Smart beehives for commercial pollinators

Surface Tech vs Deep Tech [Wed, 21 Nov 2018 @ SG tix]
[From the write-up, edited] In the past few decades, a slew of internet-based applications have brought easy money to investors. Why invest in new, tough-to-commercialise technology, when you can invest in Angry Birds [or Tik Tok?], which might give you ten times the returns after just a couple of years? We need to go back to investing in the unimaginable, in people who are working on breakthroughs that hold the potential to change the future.

Pick of Events (W3-Nov-2018)
1. December is looking rather quiet as usual. 2. The first two events returned by the bot for 2019 are AutoBiz and StartMeUp. 3.

Ewa Bule

Watch as Hamilton Children's Choir render a Dikir Barat performance of Ewa Bule (Kelantanese for Wau Bulan, Moon Kite, a traditional Malay kite). From a video uploaded by Dean Norwani. In addition to choral singing, Dikir Barat incorporates movement (not dancing) and hand percussion.

The choir was apparently coached by an Ipoh lass who started with acapella and jazz, tutoring at Damansara Jaya Secondary School, to obtaining her Masters and PhD, and now conductor with the Grand Philharmonic Youth Choir in Canada.
<newline>
Calendata last featured choral singing in Kimi o Nosete and cultural exports in Gamelan Symphony (showcasing Cahaya Asri, Beautiful Light). There is a choral competition beginning tomorrow, 7th November 2018 @ KLPAC, not much information is available save for a poster.

Classical Deepavali

Konnakul is a vocalisation of drum beats in classical South Indian music. It is said that before novices are allowed to play the drum, they would first have to be proficient in Konnakul. Wishing Hindu readers a Happy Deepavali. [Deepavali eve, LinkedIn is hosting a Diwali get-together at Pisco Bar, Kuala Lumpur.]

Soda Tax

Taxes are in focus at budget time. Some lesser known ones:

Carbon Tax - you spew, you pay
Eco Tax - you waste, you pay
Fat Tax - you fat, you pay soda tax is a subset
Digital Tax - you facebook, you pay

Notes:

Digital Tax, also kown as Google tax and Amazon tax, is a tax on digital services purchased from foreign firms eg buying a Facebook ad. If one engages a local advertising agency, that agency hires local staff, pays rental, salaries, taxes, suppliers, and the staff lunch at the local mamak, but payments to foreign digital firms do not confer such benefits to the local economy, hence the concept of a Digital Tax. [On the other hand, some of these digital firms do not charge for search, messaging, social media etc. Further pros and cons are beyond the scope of this note.]
<newline>
Any 'TaxTech'? There is a radical proposal in the US for a FairTax system, which eliminates all taxes (income, corporate etc) and replaces them with a consumption tax of an initial, proposed 23% (with 'prebates' - proactive rebates - for the disadvantaged). This rate is adjusted each year depending on collection and spending. The tax is still being debated because, among other considerations, it is undecided whether it should be in the form of a Sales Tax or Value Added Tax (both are consumption taxes).

New Mobility for Taxis

Old taxis into new mobility? Below is a hypothesis but first, some mobility news.

Just Six Years From Horses to Cars
A recent article highlighted the dramatic mobility change that happened in the early 1900s via two images. The first dated 1907 shows 5th Avenue in New York filled with horse-drawn buggies and no cars; the second, just six years later in 1913, shows the same avenue full of cars and not a horse in sight.

Charging Stations: The New Gas Stations
In tandem with EVs is the rise of charging solutions. Unlike gas/petrol stations which require half a football field, in the future perhaps even mamak stalls (sidewalk cafés) could conceivably be able to provide charging facilities. A sample of third-party (vs manufacturer) charging companies:

Ubitricity - Help property developers include charging in their projects
Electrify - Charging network that is CCS, CHAdeMO and J1772 compatible
EVgo - America's largest charging network
EVbox - Charging infrastructure component supplier
Chargemaster - UK charging network that was acquired by BP

Subscriptions: Ownership on Demand

Instead of owning a vehicle outright, subscriptions allow nano/micro ownership by the hour, day, month, year. Sample vehicle subscription services:

FlexDrive - Allow dealerships to offer subscriptions
Smove - Drive Grab/GoJek using a hired vehicle: no deposits, no contracts
Drover - All-in subscription includes insurance, servicing, tax, road assist
Canvas - Ford's easy-to-use 3-component subscription
GoCar - Almera @ $3.50/hr | SoCar: Axia @ $2/hr, eBMW @ $10/hr $=USD

Mobility Snippets
Some latest mobility news:

StromR3 - India's compact, low-cost EV challenger 1 2 3 top image
PlanetM - Michigan's automotive ecosystem accelerator
Tier - Germany's e-scooter challenger to Bird, Lime, Spin
SeaBubbles - Electric hydrofoil: use rivers and seas as highways
UltraCharge - Titanium dioxide, nanotube, gel battery

New Mobility for Taxis a hypothesis

Old taxis are replaced by subscription EVs
Taxi drivers rent by the day, week, month: no deposit, no committment
If driver goes on leave, just return the car, no-use-no-charge
Training povided, auto upgrade to newer models, half-day shift ok
No 'personalisation' of the vehicle, EVs are fungible and exchangable
Vehicle is fitted with twin cameras and a discreet driver shield
EV subscription fees and taxi fares are set by market and/or authorities
Work as much or as little as one wishes, P&L is the driver's call
No cash: fare is auto calculated and paid by e-wallet or card only
Differentiators: rank based vs e-hailing, transparent vs surge pricing

Bimodal Bicycle

[Not exercising is bad for health, even worse than smoking.] AOI.CYCLE, a maker of bespoke, retro-styled bicycles, will be exhibiting at this week's Taiwan Expo 2018 happening 25-27 October @ KLCC. Among its models is a hybrid bicycle (images above) with a patented electric motor: peddle forward for electric assist, backward for braking and recharging. Another exhibitor is StepWing, a bike that is halfway between walking and cycling. Taiwan may have quietly become a bicycle hub, a quick check of the recently concluded Eurobike 2018 shows the following representation: Germany (416, home turf), Taiwan (271), China (146), US (76), France (49), UK, (39) Japan (21), Korea (17).

Notes

CryptoKitties is a blockchain-based game that uses Ethereum to transact the buying, selling and breeding of virtual cats. The breeding portion includes DNA-like info such as parents, characteristics and 'mew-tations'. Like real cats, CryptoKitties are non-fungible, ie your Siamese is not directly exchangable with the neighbour's Persian. Compare this to a fungible token like the US dollar where each note looks the same (except for the serial number), has the same value and is exchangable.
On the theme of pets, a local (property) developer is proposing the issue of a 'horse currency'. This might be an asset tokenisation of the developer's properties. Asset tokens are similar in function to shares but could be more liquid and flexible (regulatory oversight permitting). For example, renters can be rewarded with a step ladder system of tokens - the longer the rental, the more payments go towards asset tokens and asset ownership. Tokenisation is covered in a forthcoming talk, see the listings below.
