I wanted to write an answer but this covers almost everything that I wanted to say and more.

Just a few more things: the claims you make sound 'too good to be true' and the video you show is not clear. What are you showcasing? Where is your product in the video?

It's also not clear who the target audience is. You give an example, but I have never encountered a broken harddrive. The situation doesn't appeal to a lot of people. You might want to sketch more scenario's where your product would be helpful. You can even just aim the text directly to your target audience: "Are you an electronics hobbyist or engineer often struggling with X? Look no further!". You get the picture.

Also, you might want to consider contacting some techbloggers and sending them free prototypes (this can actually backfire if they don't like it).
Let's say there was a country where 0.5% of the drivers used seat belts[1], and out of those mostly just race car drivers. Yet that country had no notable increase in injuries or fatalities in car crashes as a result compared to countries where seat belts were mandatory.

Add into that that in this parallel universe driving a car daily had big long-term health benefits, and the introduction of seat belt laws in other countries had caused driving to drop by 1/3 [2], causing fewer people to cycle, overall health to decline, and a reduction in car safety due to less car safety in numbers. Since a major cause of accidents was that few people used cars daily, leading to accidents where people weren't expecting them.

Then yeah, I think it would be completely fair to question whether wearing a seat belt in your car was worthwhile. But of course none of this analogy makes sense, which makes your argument rather nonsensical.

* Well, the thing is, your face isn't private information.*

And this could be an misconception you have learned. Naturally everyone who wants to have control over you wants you to believe it. Still it does not follow that you have to share this belief.

The question is where to draw the line. Naturally the ones who want to have control over every single person, what to push this line far away and make it look natural. Our duty is to question the motivation to do so.

Something has to be done. It's not just about porn or violence of NSFL etc... but there is a serious problem on the internet, that is always lambasted with the "Won't somebody think of the children" memes.

When society has reached a point that anybody with internet access can, simply by 'accidentally' going to the wrong website, be exposed to imagery that really is not going to help them be well-adjusted in life, without any safeguards in place, there is something wrong.

Whilst there are privacy concerns regarding any ID situation, nobody seems to be trying to solve the problem in other ways, short of limiting internet access (which causes other outcries).

I'm all for a better solution, but nobody seems to be proposing one.

(For the moment, as a parent, my young daughter doesn't get any unaccompanied internet access - I am thinking of my child)

How do we solve this problem ?

Edit: It's interesting to note diminishing points for a post that asks how to solve a problem. Obviously some people feel very strongly that even questioning the situation is wrong.
Joe Armstrong's comment on this post is gold just for this:

Astronaut is the original English word. Cosmonaut is a transliteration from the Russian word for astronaut. So if we're speaking English, we should use astronaut regardless of the country they're from. Otherwise we're forced to invent silly new words that nobody understands like taikonaut and what will we call Indian astronauts or whoever's next?

The big difference between the execution of the US and Soviet space races is that the Soviets produced the Soyuz - a very capable space craft and launch vehicle that still flies today. On top of that they pioneered space stations and long duration manned space missions.

The US on the other hand built an impractically large moonshot rocket that was too expensive to keep on producing. Then the US moved on the the Space Shuttle, which overpromised and underdelivered (e.g. did not serve the air force and get funding from there) and didn't provide a contingency into the future and had to be retired leaving the US with no manned space launch capability.

The quality of the service varies between banks though, I remember my previous bank who forced me to go over a sketchy-looking website and use a Flash applet to generate the card...

AFAIK it's not possible to create a card with a monthly chargeable maximum amount, only to set the total amount for the card's lifetime, which limits the interest of the use for recurring payments.

SHA1 is perfectly fine.

Warning: The above sentence may not be right in 5-10 years so they are starting to shut it down now.

I personally find the schedule rather aggressive. Stop issuing certs this year, block it next year. What's the average cert lifetime? 1-2-3 years? This is gonna give some warnings.

Pragmatically, political "rhetoric" is more important than crimes. For example, which candidate is more likely to maintain a good relationship between USA and Mexico? Not the one who wants Mexico to pay for a great wall. It doesn't depend on how illegally and immorally they behaved in the past.
Hi jwr,

co-founder of paddi91 here. What your are saying is essentially what has driven us to start investigating into this.

We come from the Open source hardware and hobby electronics world, and have backgrounds in mechanical engineering and information technology. So we wondered how we can add a European flavor to it:
Lots of high quality manufacturers here in (central) Europe, but with a focus on High-End High-Scale series production, both for PCB and PCB assembly. We collaborate with them, automate most of the production process for them, and thus are able to offer competitive prices for low quantities.

We started investigating into this because we want every OSHW project to be reproducible by others. So that if you are an author and publish your designs with us (we synchronize with github if you want), other people (and the many others that are not able to design or assemble the project) can receive a copy of the current version. And since not everyone can assemble by themselves, we try to make it as simple as possible which is the reason for the PCB Assembly pilot. Here we use similar tools to automate everything. It should therefore be affordable to re-produce any project on-demand. Seriously, if you want to help make open source electronics more accessible come and join us with your project for the assembly beta, the more projects, the better, as it improves the test-suite ;-) feel free to either send an email to patrick via patrick@aisler.net (my co-founder) or contact me directly via felix@aisler.net

By the way: the cost parameters for assembly would be the following:
cost of the pcb x 2 + cost of parts. no minimum quantity required.
All boards come with green soldermask, white top and bottom legend, and will have ENIG surface plating. We only use high-class FR4, 1.6mm TG150 material.
Yes, you really need to host your own server and audit the code carefully.

Which moves the threat to state actors willing to substitute certs, and that's the point at which the web fails you totally anyway.

In my opinion, one of the main things that contributed to the reduction in the quality of journalism in america is the removal of what used to be called the Fairness Doctrine[0].

I think most are pragmatic and admit you may have to do denormalise for performance (e.g. I've read this in C.J. Date's books). I interpret their point as the need for denormalisation is not a flaw with the relational model, but a flaw in its implementation. The relational model does not specify an on-disk format.

Exactly! One reason (though somewhat unpopular around here ;) ) is MongoDB which requires 64 bit OS to use more than 2GB data.

> We currently only support this as a ARMv7 device like the upstream Raspberry Pi Foundation. I realize that aarch64 support is now upstream.

I was unable to find any info about that... Anyone know more about it?

As far as I am concerned, the whole "RPi3 is 64bit" bit is stretch at best and a blatant lie at worst. What does it matter that you have 64 bit CPU when drivers (WiFi, BT, camera, accelerometer) are only available for 32 bit kernel?

EDIT: looks like aarch64 support is still not available: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/550

Government's entitlement over human life is staggering. It's patently obvious they are going to use the data to shame, blackmail and accuse dissidents at will. 'Think of the children' is not going to suffice.

If past behaviour is any predictor of future behaviour, your data is going to be exploited by private citizens as well. What could go wrong?

«The case exposed inadequate safeguards against abuse, including warnings to staff not to use the databases created to house these vast collections of data to search for and/or access information ‘about other members of staff, neighbours, friends, acquaintances, family members and public figures’.

I agree, and it does not happen to my projects either. We agree in advance on the set of features for a certain version and we deliver that. If you doing much car building when you actually need a helicopter than there is something wrong.
Yes, Tokyo is huge. And yes, different parts of it are different.

IMO parks availability is OK. You can't escape the urbanity (skyscrapers visible from any point in any park I visited), but greenery is there. Lots of small cozy green pockets by channels/rivers. Huge wast flood-plains (?) in the city itself. Gorgeous famous parks that may require a quick train ride. Loved the mountains on the north-west side too. Less than an hour ride, from most parts I think?

Take it from somebody who is really used to green stuff. Like seeing wild animals <10 minutes from home and having several swimmable lakes nearby. And we have pretty good mountain bike trails in the city limits, including right next to downtown.

Overall I think Tokyo is a great place to live. Corporate culture is atrocious though. I'm not a big fan of well... modern Japanese social culture either. I believe kindergartens are sparse. But that's because Japanese don't use them much. Once giving birth, women are expected to raise kids (they're ok to do career if they go childless though). Apartments are small to americans. But ok-ish for europeans. I can totally see why somebody wouldn't like Tokyo (or Japan in general) but objectively I think it's one of the better places the world.

Isn't it better to assume nothing is safe for children and to leave the internet as the wild wild west that it is? Have the Government set up their own CA to sign the stuff they approve of. A child safe web browser would just disregard anything that doesn't have a valid certificate.
Are you suggesting for browsers to be sandboxed execution environments ?

Then it will be more like Java Applets or Flash applications, I think some restrictions have lead to better index ability(hyperlinks, search engines) , accessibility in web.

A better medium doesn't necessarily mean untamed or freer medium. If restrictions can create a medium which has better accessibility, then maybe they are not so bad.
Do you seriously think this is a viable solution that doesn't compromise society freedoms and scales well really securing children at the same time? I am really, really sceptical about that. Are we guarding our kids when they play with their friends, who can expose them to all kind of nasty content/ideas/materials/behaviours? Are we censoring ads that are everywhere and are filled with sexual/erotic conotations? Are we keeping kids from interacting with other people in any way (freely available phone line at home?) that could cause them to be exposed to things we wouldn't like them to be exposed to?

And in the end, aren't we making them too fragile and unable to deal with things they shouldnt be interacting with, by keeping them in golden safety cage? I am not saying that we should not take care of them, but when I hear ideas like that, I wonder how the hell we've managed to survive our childhood without all of it being there to save us from this dreadful world!
This would be more convincing if Assange wasn't always talking up the next batch, the contingency files, etc. Not only is he withholding publication, but he's bragging about it, which really does make it hard to believe he's just passing everything along.
Aside of the fact that that was only a very early prototype, the Orion service module is actually not a NASA project – it’s actually contracted out to ESA.

And a crew module without a service module is not good for much.
So... you're advocating a prohibition of sorts?
There's definitely a contingent (perhaps even larger so outside the US) where SD storage is important.

The question is whether that group is large enough to create sufficient demand for a removable storage phone beyond the desire of these companies to drive adoption and lock in with their respective cloud services.
If you want to shelter your child from certain sites or content, that is your problem. Take responsibility for your own family, don't ask the entire world to change and give away our freedoms because of your laziness/ineptitude.

Yeah, the block editor is a quick win for younger children, but it's not good for teaching more realistic approaches to 'proper' coding; heading the Java or MicroPython route seems to be more suitable and engaging for older pupils.

The guys who ported MicroPython to the micro:bit have done a great job but, regrettably, by the time the MicroPython framework has been loaded on the micro:bit, the amount of room left for more complex programs is a bit tight.

Arduino is used in UK schools, but the one I hear a lot about is Crumble as it's designed to build motorised things very easily: http://redfernelectronics.co.uk/crumble/

> simply by 'accidentally' going to the wrong website, be exposed to imagery

Is that a real problem though? You did quote the accidentally after all. Both kids and adults have access to things they seek - whether that's going to be internet, magazine brought to school, or some other means. If they don't seek such content, they won't see much more than what's already available to everyone in the daily mail. I think the internet just made people aware of what's already been going on.

My questions would be "does porn prohibition create more good than the very likely government/school punishment for kids who will seek it regardless". (Once it's tracked and officially acted on, it's going to be a sex offender case like sexting became, right?)

(Also from my experience, things other kids did/said at school was likely more damaging and plain evil than anything I've seen on the internet so far. Kids have unrestricted imagination and are brutal. And I get the impression lots of parents forget what really happened.)

If you want to block porn at home, there are thousands of solutions for that. And they do work pretty well. If you're thinking of a global solution, I think it's just too dangerous.
I have friends who struggle with depression and are not allowed antidepressants, exactly because they are suicidal. My wife claims she could easily get antidepressants if she wants them, because she's neither suicidal nor depressed.

Outside of, maybe, image searches and 4chan (where there are no filters at all), it's not that easy to accidentally stumble across pornographic images on the web nowadays. Legitimate sites with a vested interest in preventing minors viewing inappropriate content will make that content opt-in.

I don't see a problem when you have to go looking for it to find it. At that point it's not the fault of the internet, but someone's lack of discipline and self control.
