It's a question of convenience for the parents to not use another cheap alternative -- cloth diapers

Time spent cleaning cloth diapers is time not spent working and earning money.

Being poor is expensive. Being poor means you are on an hourly wage in shift work not a salary. That means half an hour late for work means half an hour less money.
Because very little waste collects on the outside of my body - almost all of it passes directly to the toilet bowl. And because I wear underwear and because the only function of that part of my body is shitting so it doesn't have to be as clean as my fingers.

> Tesla should be prepared to tell customers there's certain times of the day when the reliability of the software is not high enough and turn it off.

Imho, they should detect that situation (by using cameras and/or the current time + GPS) and not allow you to switch it on. You should not give drivers the choice between safety and lazy (from which I assume that auto-pilot driving when currently feasible it SAFER than manual -- which I assumes, but read elsewhere in the thread is not yet properly demonstrated).
> all drivers are automatic and interconnected. Cars could cooperate

Say, like computers on the Internet (information highway)?

Real life is too messy to expect any system to map perfectly to all situations. To do so is to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
there is really no such thing as a verified boot chain on x86 anymore, microsoft leaked keys that essentially allow any binary to be booted on UEFI that uses microsoft keys, im not sure what the point of all this fuss is.
That's what most "driving assistance" does. It's limited in what it offers and it refuses to keep going unattended for long periods.

Tesla has been criticised all along for both its marketing and allowing long periods of unattended driving assistance.
i would say: consume media from many sources; don't focus only on media you agree with, that are aligned with your opinion; get out of your echo chamber; discuss with others; think, reflect, be aware of possible manipulation; don't avoid the long reads; catch up on background material
Presumably in that case you'd also want the kernel to fail loudly when it isn't booting securely. Say you enable lockdown but somehow manage to misconfigure secure boot, You'd much rather have the kernel go "oh whoops I've got lockdown enabled but I wasn't booted securely" than to boot the kernel insecurely without notice.

And just like that it stops being a magically enabled thing and becomes something you have to either have fully on or fully off.
All of those activities have to justify themselves on the basis of the social and economic benefits they provide, and the associated risks. They are also very highly and well regulated activities. Drivers, pilots and sailors all must have licenses and operate within strict limits. If your point is that firearm ownership is of a similar kind and, if allowed at all, should also be subject to similar strict controls and proficiency checks, then I completely agree.

5 nappies a day x 365 days = 1825 nappies / 30 per pack = 61 packs x euro 2.99 [1] = euro 182.39 per annum

"root user" is a term that we choose to mean what we want it to. Some people in the Linux community want to restrict the root user / cap_sys_admin so that even them cannot tamper with a secure kernel or run ring0 code under certain configurations. I think this is a great idea.

What a naive article!

The reality is that we can either have a paid-for walled garden so that bad actors cant leach data, or a decentralised and trust-driven network.

It only takes a "friend" using a nefarious client/implementation to send all your data to a 3rd party.
There have been a lot of stories like this in the news over the past couple of years, for example:

Shocking how frequent this behaviour appears to be.
I've looked this up before. Some sources claim it comes out just as bad (or worse!) to use cloth, but when I looked into it further they were considering hot water washes and drying in a dryer. Whereas in reality you can usually cold or warm wash cloth nappies and line dry them. They also seem to consider them being used on only one child, when they can usually be reused for more than one child.

Looks like Wikipedia actually has a decent section on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaper#Debate

Ha, yeah. I'm cynical enough about it all at this point that I think this might very well be part of a carefully crafted 'development', perhaps partly to let her not go crazy, and partly for a new 'phase' of commercial viability. She might not be 100% in on the joke even.
The kernel isn't able to determine whether you booted in a verifiable manner in all cases, so there's functionality that allows the bootloader to make that decision rather than the kernel. But if you don't have a verified boot environment and someone is deliberately attacking you, it's easy for them to fake up your early boot environment such that the kernel believes it's booted securely even if it hasn't been.

If you want to protect against accidents then you can do that in userspace. There's no need for the kernel to be involved.
Gender pay gap: what we learned and how to fix it
ALDI Junior Nappies Size 5 (40) €2.99 - €7.5c each

Pampers Premium Size 5 (35) - €8.99 - €25.5 each

Bigger packs are cheaper per nappy. If you can wait for offers you usually can get the Pampers much cheaper e.g. right now 2 x 72 pack for €23, 16c per nappy.

We started off with Pampers and moved to ALDI, never looked back.

But all in all at 4 nappies a day you'd just break €110 a year with ALDI.

One would hope your system would complain loudly in the BIOS if Secure Boot wasn't on regardless of the operating system. If some malware manages to misconfigure Secure Boot, it can also patch your kernel to remove the complaining.
Yeah, I kind of expected that response. I'd say my comment history doesn't indicate anything like that. So your point is is not a very good one.

I'm happy to hear you actually like the framework. I just was truly suspicious and felt it was worth saying.

They didn't. No keys were leaked. I wrote about this at the time (https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44223.html) but the short version is that the leaked tooling needed to carry out that attack was specific to ARM, required someone with physical access to the console to confirm the installation, and was blacklisted anyway.

I'm a little confused about Red, which is a language I've been keeping an eye on for a while. They seem to be trying to target practically every type of development on every platform, with an incomplete language and a very small (no?) team. Also, recently there was an odd ICO tangent, where it's unclear how much money they raised. It smelled a bit opportunistic to me, and I would have expected recent news to tie into the ICO promises... But, compared to most of the rest of the ICOs it might still be one of the least dodgy.
> I suppose you could come up with some simple machine which plugged into your TV and let you experiment with a handful of primitives to get a feel for starting out.

A modern equivalent might be the Micro Bit (http://microbit.org/) - it doesn't plug into a TV but it does have a rudimentary display built in, it's programmable and it has various sensors and I/O on it.

Also the entire Arduino ecosystem fills a similar niche, of a bare-metal-ish platform which lets you jump right in and start coding things.

- Talk to people, the more senior the better. Approaching someone without a product can be difficult, however if you can identify a broad goal, eg digitising a process, a new way to do x, its a start. Use it to approach executives to ask for advice. "Help a poor startup .. Im researching x", and from there dig down into specific problem areas.

- Keep an eye out for commercial problems, more-so than technical ones. Crap systems in businesses exist because the cost (in terms of work/lazyness not just $) of doing so outweighs the benefits. Its rarely a technical challenge preventing improvements.

- For large companies look at quarterly investor reports. A lot of these (in plain english) outline where they are trying to save cost or new areas they are trying to move into. See if you can help provide services that fit within their roadmap. That will get you a lot more attention.

- Let the people you are talking to understand you are an expert in technology. Don't pretend to be an expert on their industry. Let them tell you what they need and as you build knowledge see if you can productise your service into something that makes sense

Correction: they want their content consumers to be as locked into their environment as possible.

Content producers, on the other hand, are the ones who are making your platform more attractive to your content consumers. You want to make it as easy as possible to put high-quality content on your platform, and a key component of ease of access / publishing is a powerful API.
True, I haven't seen another product "match" Facebook.

But I also don't see much need for it (entirely), or at the very least for most of its features.

The Facebook of ~2007 was about as good as it ever needed to be (minus the pokes). It served its purpose well. It could have used some of the UI polish it got afterwards, but no new feature addition has made any significant change to end users in my view, apart from pushing them towards more extreme sharing.

It's a super cool app, and a super cool platform, with unfortunately little actual value to its end users (except if you consider advertisers and users of the tech platform the end users, not the actual Facebook users).

Not that I think it's all Facebook's fault: you build something for a certain purpose, and it naturally evolves, and you adapt to what people want, or what you think they want based on some metrics or "need" for growth. And then you get... this.

> (squat..? How?)

This is a thing for westerners; the squat position (with feet flat on the floor) is really hard to do for a lot of them, iirc mostly having to do with ankle flexibility (for me personally anyway). In countries with squat toilets the people are a lot more used to the position / motion. I guess most people could get by with doing a toe squat, but that's harder to keep balance.

You answered your own question. "The high end ones" all others take anywhere from 30 seconds to infinity. I can probably dry my hands on a paper towel in about 4 or 5 seconds max. I don't feel strongly enough about the subject to argue either way, just adding some more data points to your view on the matter.
No, it doesn't take 20 seconds, even a 2 (two!) second wipe job does a better job at drying than 30s of air. Apart from that, air driers are incredibly unsanitary, spreading stuff everywhere.

Also see this episode of mythbusters, which goes into much more depth than the synopsis on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2013_season)#Epis...

And the high-end ones, which are only marginally better, are very, very loud. Loud enough to trigger tinnitus in myself, for example.

Paper towels don't "waste" paper, they use paper (of which there's no shortage of, in the world) very efficiently. Plus in Germany and Portugal (at least) they have these reusable cloth towels that move between two spools.

If I don't have towels of any kind, I just wipe my hands on my clothes. It's not great but it sure beats the damn useless contraption.
> I am a socialist, not a liberal.

Potato, potahto.

> it completely glosses over the fact that black women have less chance of losing socioeconomic status than white women.

No. The article suggests that it is evidence that there's probably no intelligence/ability discrepancy between different races.

> That alone kills the argument that race is the primary factor.

No. Maybe black men are often profiled as criminals or untrustworthy, but the same is not true for black women. That alone would still be evidence of racism - just not as much towards black women.

To prove that class is the only effect and not some other factor like race you'd have to show that, controlling for class, outcomes are equal. But these articles do control for class and find that outcomes are drastically different. This must mean that class is not the only driver of outcome. It's possible that the real reason isn't because of race - maybe it's actually because every black male in the country for some reason keeps having their memory corrupted by random cosmic rays. But it's still abundantly clear that there's something
else contributing to outcomes besides class, and the most obvious (and most likely) is race.

In any case, your original contention (that class is the only driver) still falls.
> People would still show photos to people in other ways.

I suspect this is not the issue or what the parent means by privacy.

Rather, they probably mean specifically that they don't want their metadata enriched photos being made available, without their explicit knowledge or consent, to Facebook the company (and therefore also indirectly to any number of other companies / advertisers).

If Facebook didn't exist, people certainly wouldn't do that! That's purely an unavoidable side effect of Facebook's current business model.
