I frequently run into the same problem. I work with clients, and inevitably one of their employees asks something like "how did you get to be so good at Linux? You figured out a problem we've been chasing for weeks!"

And I hate my answer, especially when the employee is around my age or older: I first installed Slackware from floppy disks when I was about 12 years old. I installed it because I heard that Linux had a great C compiler, and I was getting tired of the Power-C compiler that I'd been using for 2 years.

Like Rachel, I started on a Vic-20, around age 8. The computer was at my dad's house though, and I lived with my mom most of the week, so I would take out books from the library, write all of my code on loose leaf, and then fast & furiously type it in when I got over to dad's house to see if it worked. POKE 36879 indeed.
My issue is that it isn't customizable enough. Like:

* I can't customize what's shown on the touchbar when the screen is locked.

* I can't pin ESC and the volume/mute keys to their respective (previous physical) positions and let apps use the remaining area in between

* I can't have it default to my custom layout by default but have the Fn key show app-specific widgets, or have certain apps show app specific widgets (like you can have certain apps show the F-keys).

* I can't have it show my custom layout by default but show pop-up dialog buttons when appropriate.

Fair point. I upvoted your posts; thinking about it further, it’s a legitimate line of inquiry.
Good point. I wonder whether the ratio of drunks behind autopilot wheels is different than average. Could be lower (because richer) or higher (because richer).
and how did you reach that conclusion?
That is indeed poor reliability. The SP4 I used and others I know people have had since launch, are still working fine.

The problem is that it's not just the drivers who are the volunteers getting killed. When you kill pedestrians as Uber did, they did not volunteer to be killed to test your software.

Yes automation is good, but Tesla is being needlessly reckless. They can easily be much more strict with the settings for auto-pilot but they're not.
Oh is that the case? How long is this known? In that case I find it should be taken off the market by the government.
If the car has the slightest ability to follow lanes, it will choose "turn" and not stop until it gets hopelessly lost. At which point it only stops because it was avoiding certain disaster.

The dichotomy between ignore and stop is a false one.

And you also have older cars with less safety features, not sure how is in US but in other countries you can stil see old cars that are missing airbags.

So in fatalities statistics the fair thing is to compare Tesla with similar cars.

It's not so simple - you can't simply follow the highway as you have done hundreds of thousands of times, because if the paint stripes have changed since Monday, then these might also be new (or temporary) stripes painted by a road construction crew overnight and you now must follow the new stripes.
That doesn't really change my answer. If an object is almost directly in front of you, you either fine-tune your turning to avoid it, or you stop.

There's no reason to ever ignore it.

The discussion was about how something that almost every parent uses, relating to one of the most basic human functions, could be outside of the purchasing power of an inhabitant of a major developed country.

I don't disagree with a discussion on how we externalize costs in cell phones, take out food containers, packaging for toilet paper, or whatever else. But however reasonable that discussion is, it was besides the point of this discussion.
>> Tesla’s Autopilot reduces crashes by 40% according to the NHTSA

So does any car with automatic emergency braking and/or or forward collision warning (links below).

The problem here is, this Tesla drove head-on into the gore point. And previously, it drove right into the side of a huge truck.
So... can it be trusted? Your call.

As others have said, it's not a question of "having diapers" vs "not having diapers". It's a question of convenience for the parents to not use another cheap alternative -- cloth diapers. Also, we already have many assistance programs and I would like to understand the specifics of a situation that leaves someone without enough money to buy even disposable diapers if they're already on assistance.

Further, where does it end?

"I want a good brand of disposable diapers, not the cheap ones" (Note: a lot of working families are buying those cheap diapers!)

"I want a $1000 stroller with an easy-collapse handle and nice tires so my kids don't get jostled as I take them over bumps in the park"

"I need a subsidy for a minivan because a small car is very inconvenient with kids"

"I need a subsidy for ORGANIC food, not just any food for my babies."

etc.

The standard could easily become more than the average US household income, without even trying hard to grow the list.

Remember, it's not about ability to have any diapers at all, they're arguing that they deserve a higher standard of convenience.

Meanwhile, I need to commute to work an obscene distance because NIMBYs won't allow more housing to be built, keeping me away from my children for many more hours than I would otherwise need to. But please, prioritize taxing me even more to pay for conveniences for people who are home with their kids while I work to feed mine.

>I want to help them, but the answer isn't more subsidies. I want to see her get that better job, even if it means losing the assistance. I want to see Dad stay in the home because that's so critical for developing emotional control in young adults.

What do you want to do to help them?
Hmm, not one commenter here in 120+ addressed the point of the article, namely why don't companies make cheaper diapers, instead of only ratcheting up the high tech? Obviously it's more profitable, but are there other factors?

These employees are right to be worried. If Google becomes a defense contractor I'll be going out of my way to stop using their products. I'm not a pacifist, but I'll always choose to work for and patronize peaceful enterprises, it's as simple as that. I also influence lots of non-technical friends and family in their IT purchases and habits and I'll definitely be warning them off as well. So Google, be less greedy and make the world a better place for us all.
7 Communication Mistakes That Can Cost You Clients
I wish every ui would just show the the same buttons
I don't blame this woman. I'm not pissed at her. I'm pissed, however, at the politicians who have created this dependency web to trap people like this woman and ensure that there will always be a need for do-gooder politicians.

unless, of course, you have a system that encourages dependence on public assistance and actually ends up hurting a woman's self-sufficiency and puts her little boy at a high risk of being helpless and dependent, too.

By having the government helping them more, they fail to become self-reliant, thus get used to leeching and are expecting from the government to help them. You have people purposely living on food stamps and government help, even though they're capable of finding work. If you're not aware of this you might want to check your filters as well.
Nuclear power plants, plane crashes, terrorism, school shootings, even some rare diseases (the mad cow disease led to the slaughter of millions of cattle, having killed in the UK less than 200 people cumulatively, whereas the flu can easily kill 10,000 people in a single year just in the UK).

I don’t think it has anything to do with technology and automation. People are just very bad at reasoning with probabilities. This is why lotteries are so popular. And it is fuelled by unscrupulous (and even less apt at grasping probabilities) media trying to make money out of sensionalist headlines. How many times a week am I told that x will cause the end of the world, replace x by flu pandemics, Ebola, global warming, cancer as a result of eating meat or using smartphones, etc.

Sure.

These are prefolds, with outers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LR8VC4

Prefolds are similar to the old flat nappies but they're thicker so you don't have to fold them so much. They work well but they're not as simple as the other options:

These are pocket: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SWIA5LQ

They have a pocket in them where the absorbent insert goes. Easier to use but usually not quite as absorbent as prefold.

Then there are other variations, e.g. Ones where the absorbent inner clips onto the outer ("snap-in"), or even simpler ones that are one outer and inner combined ("all-in-one").
I don't agree with this position. Autopilot is a new thing that governments need to decide whether it's allowed or not (since it is operating dangerous equipment, so the state has an interest in doing the right thing). If improved safety is not a demonstrably valid argument for allowing it, it IMO doesn't pass the bar for what should be allowed. At that point it's purely a money-grabber from corporations that want the cookie (first to market with fully autonomous vehicles) without paying for it (heavy investment in testing).
> Nintendo is the last company in the world that would be interested in this.

You don't even understand what privilege means, my dude. I expect my government to serve myself and the people, and not a handful of old dudes at the top of the food chain. If you think a government serving its people is a privilege, I think you have a very poor idea of what democracy is (or should be).

>...certain people leech, do not want to find a job...

This is privilege and propaganda at work right here. Being so far removed from what its like to be poor that you unironically believe some bullshit like "poor people just want government bux for free".

>I grew up with cloth... Not because my family was poor, but because other types weren't available... I don't see that cloth diapers are a poor-peoples choice.. Is it below some "level” you think should exist?

Absolutely - I expect that the poor in the richest country in the world aren't forced to regress to the standards of 50-60 years ago for their children. There's nothing wrong with cloth diapers or the fact that you were brought up with them. The issue is that people like you don't think its a problem that somebody in the USA in 2018 has to get cloth diapers not because they want to, or their baby's skin handles it better or whatever, but because they literally cannot afford not to.

What the fuck is with this race to the bottom? Yes, I absolutely expect there to be certain standards of living in different countries that are upheld by society and government. How am I the crazy one here? I don't want to live in a fucking country where I'm making 6 figures, comfortable in my air conditioned home while down the street somebody has to shit on the street because public toilets were abolished because muh taxation is theft or something.

There's nothing shameful about being poor or different countries having different standards of living - there is something shameful about a society which looks at somebody struggling and instead of lending a hand tells them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Good day to you!

Here is XXX, I am a business manager at Getcryptotab.com - is a bitcoin mining affiliate platform. And we're looking for publishers who are ready to help us to promote this project in exchange for high rates for you ;)

How it works - a user installs google chrome script and mines bitcoins, invites new users by a referral link and multiplies his earnings.

And we're looking for ad placements of a fixed banner with a direct link to our project.

We're ready to discuss the rates which will satisfy you and other different options for our convenient and profitable cooperation.

So please, add me on Skype and let's discuss.

Looking forward to hearing back from you and wish you have a great weekend!

"Autopilot" is the name of the page that danso referred to, is in the title of that page and is used on the page 9 times. How would you possibly not recognize this as name of the feature?
purely Rx phased arrays, unless very large, do not have nearly the gain (in dBi) of a good parabolic or horn. and not nearly as much directional discrimination as a good sized (90cm) parabolic.

in a phased array that is also a Tx this can be partially compensated for with higher dBm output power from the radio itself, but that's not the usage scenario we're talking about here.
You are right about consumption and throwaway society issues.
At the same time, i dont believe the reason people can’t afford diapers is that they are expensive to protect the environment... plus creating lots of trash shouldn’t be a privilege for some - it should be prohibited for all.

You didn't even read the abstract properly so that makes it sort of hard to take your argument at face value.
Nobody is making use of this service yet. However, if they were, why would it be ghastly for them to voluntarily trade a small number of days worth of terminal decline for a substantially better quality preservation and thus correspondingly higher chance of revival in the future? To me it sounds like an obvious utilitarian tradeoff, like any reasonable person who was well informed about the situation and averse to dying might choose to make.
I had to (briefly) use a touchbar Mac while running Visual Studio for debugging and the lack of buttons made it an excruciatingly painful process. I never before thought I touch typed function keys, but I actually did.
But the problem is that is cannot be handled responsibly and in well defined limits.
Germany in 1919 was definitely not a totalitarian state. The laws were relaxed in 1928 which was BEFORE nazis came to power.
On the networking side of things: interesting that ROcE, infiniband and FC (depending on service class) all have reliability in the link layer, so the telcos did know something about their priorities.
Now that's a nice device, and is a true time of flight sensor. There's a similar model with 1.2m range.[1] Don't know whether it's a pulse LIDAR or an RF-modulated beam. The ones that use a pulse laser can have much more range and can work outdoors. They must far outshine the sun, but only at one wavelength and only for a nanosecond. That's quite possible.

If you are talking about the world a large part of that million are killed on the roads where no self-driving car would be able to drive anyway.
Also "normal" drivers do not usually get killed in crashes—unless it involves reckless driving. So probably self-driving is safer than drunk driving, reckless driving or driving on the roads with the extremely poor infrastructure, but compared to responsible driving?
Also, why is this so black-and white? The safest current option is technology assisted driving, but no much talk about it.
You sue the company, not a person. Why would you assume companies can't be sued if they're not 'people?'
As I understand it, Tesla autopilot can't distinguish objects on the sides (such as road signs) from objects directly in front. And it must ignore road signs etc. So it ends up ignoring all stationary objects.
If you aren't accessing the volume control or screen brightness keys without looking down then you're not really a touch typist :)
So, my current employers have the, uh, washlets you describe, real high grade ones with a heater and a dryer. And I use them for the wash cycle, but I've found that I still prefer to dry off using toilet paper; the air dry function, even though it's heated just takes to damn long.
Why does selling information mean 'large amounts of data must be shared'?

The explanation is in your point (4). Let's expand on it:

I click an ad targeted at African-American, Christian homosexuals, over 40 years old, living in Boston, earning >$100,0000 with a custom audience set consisting of 100 email addresses the advertiser scraped from a forum.

By the way, I never told Facebook my sexual orientation, salary or religion, it was inferred based on other sites I visit.

When I click the ad, Facebook reveals to the advertiser that I match this description: and this is exactly what the advertiser pays them for.
How so? Adding such an ability removes the security right? If someone can set kernel flags, they could just as easily set the lockdown flag. If the package maintainers provide a different kernel image, then you still have the next boot issue. The fact that the shim exists erases any real protection against this.

Therefore the only real protection comes when you put your own keys in. In which case, once again, enable lock down in the kernel config. I imagine that is exactly something enterprise vendors would be looking at.

In the process of writing this, I have come to the conclusion that consumer secure boot is meaningless while the shim exists. The Microsoft approval process is, as I believe you said many years ago, fairly simple anyway. A company telephone number and a fee, if we're looking at other serious malicious actors.

I acknowledge I may be misunderstanding this, and that you've already been over most/all of these issues before. I don't mind if you feel a response is not necessary.

Agreed. They use water in Iran, too. Other than religious considerations (that only water will really clean mess), it actually feels better and cleaner.

Plus, their toilets have a different shape, something like this:

Mine got pulled off too. Few days ago my extension got pulled of without explanation. I freaked out, didn't know why, because it was only RSS reader. I had few ideas why it could be so I start fixing them. I mentioned in summary that it is replacement of google reader, which they might not like, so I removed that from description. It was also using google caja sanitizer, so I replaced it with something else. Then there was preset of feeds so I removed them all. I was about to resubmit it next day when they sent me an email that it was removed by accident. They didn't tell why exactly.

Now that I see they are removing cryptocurrency miners it all makes sense. I use SHA1 sum to make GUID of article if it is not present or if it is too long, so that must have triggered their system to mark my RSS reader as crypto miner.
Some things/ideas/comments are best kept in our thoughts. Your comment qualifies; I mean it as a feedback.
