I never wore disposable diapers; my mom raised me in cloth diapers. They were two young parents, trying to get my dad's little one-room bicycle shop off the ground in a time of 25+% interest rates. I'm sure that scrubbing my shit out of cloth diapers wasn't fun but my mom did it.

Please, spare me the privilege argument. I've been so poor as a kid that I walked to my grandmother's house to ask for food. I've been so poor that I shared all-you-can-drink small size sodas at Taco Bell to make it to pay day. When you're poor and motivated, you do what you have to do.
Sorry, it is still decentralized.

- Even if it were true that "everyone uses Google/Microsoft/Apple/etc", the ones that don't can still send/receive emails from everyone else.
- If one of the of the big providers disappear, the system as a whole will continue to function.
"are municipalities held accountable for injuries caused by a pothole?"

I know some municipalities will pay claims for tire/wheel damage caused by roads in disrepair if you file a claim with evidence. Presumably this same admission of liability could be upheld by courts if injuries had resulted from a problem like this.
More people believe the world is flat than know what a "decentralized social network" is.
What amazed me reading the report was just how vulnerable the ship was to sinking if it had a list during a storm. While an 18 degree list is extreme it's not unforeseeable in a serious emergency. The problem was this put ventilation openings at a height where they were directly subject to green water infiltration. To make it worse only the intakes were 'watertight' the exhausts were only 'weathertight' meaning that this would have resulted in flooding that would have made the problem worse.

...a one-hour SSH login cred is a significant exposure.

Does this refer to an SSH password or e.g. a 4096-bit RSA key, or possibly something completely different? If this refers to an RSA key then I'm quite confused.
I find it very strange that nobody includes, y'know, Wikipedia in these kinds of conversations. Don't you think Wikipedia is more important than Facebook and Wordpress? As a person involved in mainstream Internet adoption, I consider it as important as the Internet in establishing free, participatory hypertext information. In addition to the fact people now assume they can just find something out without commercial supplication, all the major Internet media companies and pretty much the modern field of AI depend on the knowledge it provides.

Yes, "most people" may not know it's participatory / non commercial / that search results are largely based on it / that you can download all its content and tools and run your own. It still is.

Anyway, Wikipedia is mainly written in PHP and uses MySQL.

But past this point, if we are talking about decentralized peer to peer systems, something based on Javascript that runs entirely in the browser is the real gold standard, at least until a protocol-based network breaks through.
What stops a business owner from abstracting away the underlying email provider and sending domain, so that their email campaigns can be up and running again in minutes if Mailchimp bans them? Thankfully there are several reputable email service providers...and most companies have more than one top-level domain associated with their name...so a legitimate business should be able to keep their email program running without exposing their neck to the mercy of a single bot (atleast until the issue is resolved by support). Real spammers would quickly get banned from all major providers (hopefully), and the content of the spam email would get machine-learned.
How do you know how much Waymo's approach rely on maps vs. vision? My expectation would be that maps are really only used for "macro" navigation but anything beyond that (lanes, avoiding obstacles, etc.) would be done on the spot.

Do you have any public source detailing this or do you just make this claim based on your own assumptions?

Then there's still point in making the claim.

>Most folks don't do drugs excessively. But if it is OK for a middle class person to drink once a month, I'm OK with poor folks drinking once every few months. Or other drugs infrequently (i'm pro-legalization of many things). If you don't want folks to do drugs all that often, the only tool available with subsidies is to subsidize rehab and/or medical care and the family care that might come with inpatient rehab programs.

You don't subsidize alcohol, you tax it. Then you borrow a leaf from the Australian playbook and add a puke green coloring to it and force it to be sold in brown cartons with pictures of dissected livers.

>8 kids? How the heck do you expect to combat that with subsidies except though making sure birth control is nearly free (including the doctor's visit for women to get it, and actually offering low-cost sterilization). This completely glosses over the need for fact-based sex education (rather than the abstinence-only sort popular in some areas), for instance, and does nothing to deter folks that want 8 children.

You force sterilize people after the second child. And pay people to get sterilized with one or no children.

Unpleasant but when we are hitting the limits of what the planet can sustain and the best hope is 'we will go to Mars', doing unpleasant things so we survive is the better alternative to the cannibal holocaust we are setting ourselves up with.

Thanks for that recommendation! The book's summary certainly looks very relevant to what's happening in my mind, will definitely give it a read.
you will never feel like you will run out of things to improve on. you will never feel like it's a complete work.

what is worse is knowing that there are competitors and they are also trying to find their edge over you. you have probably between 20 to 50 different things you can choose to work on right away and there's always this nagging doubt that the projects and improvements you pick may cost you far too much and give you back far too little.

it always does feel like a hair's breadth away from failure.

i don't know how to help you. you may have great, productive employees who are 100% willing to jump off the cliff with you but at some point you will need a few good, smart, strategic guys you can bounce ideas off, who can critique, find flaws, figure out escape plans when things don't go right, and give you confidence to take on projects that may not be in your favour.

there's no formula to finding those guys. it's a tough battle. good luck!
Every time I debug, for the past 25 years.
Well, your whole argument seems to be based on what ill-informed people will tolerate, not was is ethical.

I agree marketing is intended to manipulate your thinking... or "market towards you". I suspect I have a different attitude about marketing than you do.

I don't use facebook, I used for a week in 2007, and thought "this is just a marketing data machine, no thanks".

Further, the innocuous sounding "Connecting the world" mission doesn't equate to "monitor your social interactions and help people convince you to buy things" (amongst other things) in most people's minds.
Very steampunk, but unlikely it sees reality. It's not like companies haven't tried time and time again to commercialize airships.
again, the Civil Rights Act was passed by a politically elected congress.

Not sure why everyone is so upset by my post that essentially is reiterating, "the people have a right to be heard and they ultimately elect how their town/state/country is run".
I don't know who's downvoting this; this is an actual trend I'm experiencing as well. Those who leave facebook tend to leave for good, and not replace it with anything. I'm yet to decide if it's good or not; I definitely want homepages (not strictly blogs) back, hence see https://indieweb.org , but I know most will just simply walk away from social media completely.
Same for me. I like her writing stile and the content.
I believe their point is that you should be that person for your city, not them...

In any case: fixing potholes is just about the least inefficient government service possible: it's a guy/gal making $x per hour, plus some extremely commoditised materials.

Meaning: it's extremely hard for anybody to screw this up. If your city isn't fixing potholes to your liking, it is almost guaranteed to be the result of a general lack of funds. With the perennial bogeyman of "wasteful spending", governments in the US have simply been starved of resources.

The behaviour you're describing makes perfect sense in this situation: moving on to the next pothole that someone complained about is simple prioritisation, even if it's slightly less efficient long-term to drive a block or two for every pothole instead of fixing a whole street at once.
Why wouldn't the ability to quickly process information be considered an important part of intelligence? A proper IQ test is very general and just tests processing speed and working memory.

IQ has a higher correlation with future income than parent's earnings. If you had a choice between having 99th percentile IQ and being born into the 1% you'd be better off taking the IQ. The issue is that because IQ is highly heritable many in the 1% tend to be intelligent as well so the rich get richer.
I'd say most people (in west) have shitty arses.

Sometimes, while in a toilet cubicle, I hear other people wipe once or twice, then leave - their arses are definitely shitty.

Rain – Rust based computational framework
Anyone interested in this topic should definitely check out Darryl Cooper's "MartyrMade" podcast, which had a Dan-Carlin-style series of episodes about early modern Zionism and the origins of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict: http://www.martyrmade.com/fear-loathing-in-the-new-jerusalem... It does a great job of being even-handed and emotionally connecting the listener with the motivations of the people in history.

The history of the Jews (and the Jewish diaspora in particular) is fascinating. Between the typical opposing endpoints of assimilation/integration and separation there is this curious in-between state that seems both chaotic and stable over time -- the state of being "in a place" but not always being "of that place." The aforementioned podcast describes well the urge to assimilate or to remain distinct, positions held by both those in the Jewish community and those outside of it. The modern revival of the Hebrew language into a living tongue, both as a method of crystallizing identity and distinctiveness, is one example. Also interesting to consider how even small differences in "rules" between societies (like allowing usury or not, and to whom) leads to complex social consequences over time -- sort of a cellular automata analogy. Historical patterns of Jewish expulsion from various societies also make for interesting microcosms to understand tribe-based interactions: when the Jewish people were invited or allowed into a region, who was behind that change in policy and why? When pogroms or expulsions happened afterward, what were the causes and which segments of the population were the catalyst and why? It's an endlessly dynamic system that resists our efforts to create a simple static narrative -- and I suppose if anything it helps reveal that all of history is like that.

Changing goalposts. chrstphrknwtn was responding to your comment on privacy and now you changed to talking about decentralized social networks.

Quote:

> I would say 90% or more of Facebook users couldn't care less if their data is sold to advertisers.

So, changing goalposts.
Man, people are working hard on this idea still. I like the persistence, but something tells me the ambition aught to in most cases be directed towards something less of a winner-take-all hollywood style success market, and more towards something better placed on the effort-to-returns spectrum.
I agree, this is super cool and deserves attention.
You are making other assumptions here too, like having a Costco or Sam's Club nearby to buy the giant packs of diapers. Low income people often don't have those nearby.
> Cloth nappies seem to accelerate potty training too (we've done cloth and compostable, solely the latter with current child), I think they can feel they wet themselves more easily, better feedback. If the nappy is so "good" they don't feel wet then there's no intrinsic incentive and no feedback.

Modern diapers are so good that they're counter productive to potty training. The innards whick all the moisture so the child's bottom remains completely dry until it gets extremely saturated.
The whole point of a social network is to connect with friends. If it was a paid service, nobody would be on it.

Considering that every other startup has wanted to build "Facebook/MySpace/Twitter BUT FOR XXXX" for the last decade, I guarantee what you want is out there (or has existed at some point), but nobody is on it and nobody has heard of it, because it costs money and nobody is going to pay money for a social network that's empty. I personally wouldn't pay money for a social network that's not empty, either... and I'm sure a lot of people share my sentiment.
> Everyone uses a centralized email provider now

Mostly everyone, but not everyone.
I agree that it is shallow thinking, but this is some random application for the potential of a small amount of money. Some one else can validate the idea easily
A good spray helps clean the toilet bowl of poop too, which is ten times harder once it dries to the porcelain..
It's mostly a semantic argument. I'm arguing against using "correct" in a context where correctness evidently depends on morality, which is individual enough that this kind of person exists and thrives. That nullifies the whole basis of the argument that "There are correct ways to start a discourse around censorship." I'm not sure that it was meant as an argument. Maybe it's just a cheap way to score points among "most people here", because it's rather pointless as an argument regardless of its validity.

Also, I assume that by this country you mean the U.S., where killing people at least partly to draw attention (for the purpose of general deterrence) is practiced by the justice system. I bet you'll find a lot more people in this crowd that agree with this on the basis of their morals. I know people who believe one thing but will at least briefly change their mind learning of some particularly heinous crime or some particularly tragic wrongful conviction. Correct/incorrect isn't really a scale, so which would pick for something a little more polarized like this?

Agreed - I might test using it, but I would ensure that I have 100% mental focus. Now I'm wondering, if I have to work hard to pay attention that a computer is operating correctly, what advantage am I gaining by using it?

AutoPilot is a human assisted utility. I think many people here, and in general, expect too much of it and are being too critical when there is an incident.

I do think Tesla needs to communicate better what AutoPilot is and isn't because we've now lost lives due to operator negligence, and by negligence, I mean the operator is still responsible for the vehicle despite relinquishing control to a computer.
Except, again, as far as I'm aware Apple has never marketed the MacBook Pro by running around Ballmer-style and screaming "Developers! Developers! Developers!"

They just made a good laptop, and developers used it because it was a good laptop. If anything, developers bought and used Apple's laptops in spite of shortcomings (as developer machines) which have been present for at least the twelve years that have elapsed since I first used one.

Meanwhile, I'm writing this comment on a 15" MBP with Touch Bar, and I use it as my primary dev laptop. And... well, it's still a good laptop. I would be less happy and less productive using one of the "equivalent" PC builds (regardless of whether running Windows or Linux) people always recommend. And I know that because I switched to Macs from one of those "equivalents" (a Thinkpad running Linux).

Add in that the people who are complaining about how this is the death of Apple are almost always posting while clearly indicating they've never actually used a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, and I don't put this down to Apple somehow "shifting away" from "influencers". I put it down as the same kind of foaming-at-the-mouth hate that every Apple product in history has attracted, due to those products committing the unforgivable sin of being Apple products. Company seems to've survived that.

And for what it's worth, the Touch Bar took some getting used to, but now it's fine. Some apps do useful things with it. Some apps don't. About what I expected.

jews still lived in jewish quarters, married mostly other jews and aggregated around jewish structures; being integrated is a little more than liking local dishes; beside that "integration" ended up in violence anyway even before wwii, when romanians started persecuting them.
Depending on where you live, maybe nothing, maybe a lot. For example many areas still have high PPB of lead in their tap water (even if below the EPA guidelines of 15 PPB, or the EU's 10 PPB since 2013, it can still be considered unsafe, just not economical to fix).

Plus even ignoring heavy metal content, in some areas there might be micro-organisms in tap water (since it is sourced from a natural well or similar), so you'd need to be boiling tap water or risk making a newborn sick (even if your body could easily cope with similar water).

> Talk to your baby’s pediatrician and ask what kind of water you should use when mixing infant formula. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends boiling water to remove impurities and kill germs. While most municipal and public drinking water supplies are required to follow strict regulatory guidelines to be safe, pediatricians generally still suggest using boiled water to mix infant formula, at least for the first three or four months. Since there is no evidence that bottled water is safer than municipal water sources, the AAP says that while parents can use bottled water to mix formula, it needs to be boiled first. You can also use distilled water that has already been purified or ready-to-use formulas, which do not need to be mixed with water.

Spot on. Cloud computing is the return of the dependent client/server architecture we had with thin clients and mainframes. But not everything is cloud-only nowadays. You can argue even ChromeOS isn't. But it resembles thin clients. Same with massive clouds such as AWS/Azure; they resemble mainframes.
Email marketing is a numbers game, I doubt anyone is wasting time looking at individual addresses.
Did the same exact thing back in 2015 that used the omnivision sensor in wiimotes, having the benefit that the sensor readily reports the position of detected infrared spots, so no cpu-heavy postprocessing needed. The 20MHz clock for the sensor was taken from CLKOUT from the controlling avr cpu, so only three parts on the rotating part (laser, cpu, sensor).

I would recommend adding a slit and a bandgap filter to reduce the amount of non-laserlight, because i had big problems with false positives from stray light (sunlight etc).

twitter is essentially auto-scraped and in general, I think if my friends posted something, I've seen it, and I should be able to keep a copy of it. one feature of the "email as a social network" idea is that it really would be just "your friends". you wouldn't be exposed to far-flung randos the way facebook likes to game you into doing.

Let's be clear and honest about this article: there was no second job for her to work because she quit her first job before the baby was even born to go on assistance. Your argument doesn't hold water with me. My mom worked when she was pregnant with me and went right back to work after I was born. My wife, a physical therapist with a physically demanding job, worked until the very day both of our sons were born and then went back to work four weeks later. The girl in this story did none of that. Again, I don't blame her--the system practically invited her to do this.
You make do with what you have :).... However, instead of teaching word processing and such (office s/w)... how about teaching kids that it's just a machine and you can make it do your bidding..
