It's not about affording diapers, it's about affording clothes and food and healthcare and baby strollers and a bigger apartment and babysitting and diapers.

The costs of everything you need to raise a child come as a surprise to most middle-class people. How would they not to the poor. Common sense says that people raise kids in developing countries and they have nothing, so it can't take money, right? But in a western society with a western standard of living, that common sense is wrong.
3D touch isn't supported on the iPhone SE or on any iPads. Given that it's not supported across the iOS hardware line, it's not assigned any essential functionality.

I expect that it'll play a larger role after the next major redesign of iOS in a couple years.
Well, be satisfied. You're right! I have flown on Concorde (from London to New York). It was cool to have done it, but as a very tall fellow I'm bound to say that much of my memories are of being quite uncomfortable with the amount of space I had. Smaller than your average Ryanair flight these days.

I like the airship idea from another poster!

And high stress tolerance. I mean, if - per recent HN thread - people obsess over putting a CPU into their PC because it feels like breaking a piece of expensive electronics, I can only imagine what a Macbook owner feels when applying a lathe to their prized possession...

Maybe the jobs require better spelling than the American schools provide?
Casually following the discussion on lkml has me under the impression that something will probably be merged in this vein - they're just bickering over important details and having communication problems.

Edit: *Eventually

Considering Linus has been arguing in favor of the value of lockdown in lieu of SecureBoot he's obviously on-board with the patchset conceptually. The problem seems to be in how SecureBoot and lockdown are currently related in the implementation when he's arguing they're entirely independent of one another. The things just fall apart in the communications.
Most people on this site have not trusted FB's intentions with the drone project for good reason. Ever since we collectively realized a three years ago that FB's internet.org was a wolf in sheep's clothing, most people on here have been distrusting of FB.
>I don't blame this woman. I'm not pissed at her.

Although this is kind of you and your position is likely rooted in empathy and compassion, I think this is also wrong.

At which point do we make the cut and let a person take responsibility for their lives? It's a chicken and egg problem, sure. But, who cares? I'm not saying that life isn't hard or that there aren't people who, by pure misfortune, had to endure situations which leave long-lasting scars. What I'm saying, however, is that each human being is the master of his or her destiny.

>I don't blame this woman.

Don't you, by not blaming her, contribute to reinforcing her perceived helplessness?

Where do we make a cut? At which point can we "blame" a human being for her perceived helplessness? I don't want to blame any body, of course, I just want everyone to be aware that they, alone, can do better.

Would my life be better if I was born in huge loving, rich family and I wouldn't have to worry about "surviving"? Well, perhaps. Do I care about the circumstances that were less than optimal in my life and for which some degree of fortitude and healing was needed? Hell no! It is what it is.

>I don't blame this woman.

If I ever put myself in a position of helplessness, please go ahead and blame me. Perhaps then I'd be able to realize that there are other ways.

>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.

Nevertheless, I agree with this as much as I disagree with your other statement. Politicians who profit from certain tendencies in the most vulnerable members of our society not in order to help but to enslave are the dirty, dirty people.
Exactly what the Neato 2nd gen does. Coils for power and IrDA for data.
Currently it is probably worse than the average driver. But here is a trolley problem for you. What is the ratio of people killed who volunteer to test out an auto-drive to the number of lives saved by that early testing? 1:1, 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000, 1:1,000,000? A million people die in vehicle wrecks each year.
Recently I'm becoming more and more repulsed by the "everyday life is shit in the US" news.

1 in 3 families in the US cannot afford diapers? A full one third of families? The richest country in the world, indeed.
> And the real kicker is this signal generation happens at the speed of thought. Imagine coding in an IDE at that speed!

I already do I type virtually at the same speed I internally verbalize what I'm typing, so any bandwidth increase would have to bypass the inner voice part of the brain, if that's even possible. There might be some room for improvement in other areas, like "got to definition", but hardly revolutionary.

I am human, and any product built for me will have to take into account my idiosyncrasies. This includes my unwillingness to drive on the same road with a car that might at any moment swerve into me because of weird software.

It may be irrational, but I can forgive a human, I cannot forgive an AI.
Have we thought about feeding the weaker children to the stronger ones and making diapers out of their skin?

It's only a modest suggestion.
I think an even more apt example is that the US military was the prime funding for the first integrated circuits.
Yea, but sometimes I don't know about a product.

For example, I tried to find a pair of quality underwear that did not have some guys name above the crotch for years. I heard mention of me undies on a podcast, checked it out, and am now a happy customer. ( this is not a paid post )
Props for doing that. We tried with our twins, but eventually decided cloth diapers are for people with single kids that aren't burnt out.
It's remarkable how young that understanding is

Huh I actually thinks home button is pretty much not recognizable that its not a hardware one. My wife couldn’t even believe me.
One my friend actually counted the total price of both and it came out as quite the same all counted in (water, "soap", etc).

But also, it is not all hygienic enough to wash them in bucket with soap. Back when my mother had kids, they had to went through boiling water and were ironed. You basically spent whole day dealing with diapers. Literally whole day, it is ridiculous amount of work.

Also, cloth diapers cause more rashes and that costs money too.
No it is not. But might be someday. Will that be good enough? My dad would spend 100k on a car that was 10 times less safe, if it let him keep using a car. I'm sure others would as well.
Please note that there's a sharp distinction between bringing the Internet to new places and bringing "the Internet" aka Facebook's walled garden to new places.

From a wikipedia section on Free Basics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Basics#User_experience_re...

> In 2015, researchers evaluating how Facebook Zero shapes information and communication technologies (ICT) usage in the developing world found that 11% of Indonesians who said they used Facebook also said they did not use the Internet. 65% of Nigerians, and 61% of Indonesians agree with the statement that "Facebook is the Internet" compared with only 5% in the US
Interesting. That's a Europe-specific snippet though (incidentally I've never seen that before; do I need to be in Europle to see it - is the right-to-be-forgotten thing easily defeatable with a VPN?!).
Because those same middlemen are the ones who would benefit the most from UBI.

Of course subsidizing goods and services means we will have to stop pretending that all choices are equally good and start acting like adults again, where just because you really, really want to do drugs and have 8 kids doesn't mean you will get to do that regardless of how much money you have.
yeah? well I say: all a normal funding application does is test how well you can fill out a funding application!

So adding an IQ test changes that to something meaningful, that correlates with AI (what these applications are for). After all, how is a low-intelligence person supposed to make a project in artificial intelligence!

I stand 100% by my support of their process.
Sounds like a great way to get progress on Linux moving faster, in a way helping the chicken-egg of users vs dev support. Short term pain for long term gain.

Windows is often a horrible thing for people to learn at first, but they do it because it's the default.

If Linux is to be in the sphere of 'things to learn to play games/be productive,' then a more disruptive event is better than hoping to get there by growing at 0.2% per year...

It's mostly due to limited sensors and immature algorithms.

If you think about a sharp left turn with a wall on the right side of the road, there is a "stationary object" (the wall) in front of the vehicle throughout the turn that will be detected by radar and cameras. In order to navigate a situation like this, an autonomous vehicle has to have additional decision-making in place to effectively override "stationary object in front of me = stop" logic. But once you do that, it gets tricky to determine when you should ignore the "stationary object" and when you shouldn't.

On top of this, Tesla opted not to include LIDAR as a sensor in its vehicles, so it does not get a 3D point cloud to help identify what an object is and what to do with it. Instead, there's a high reliance on the cameras and radar, but these have some limitations. For example, it's difficult for a camera to distinguish between two objects of similar brightness and color, so for example if there's a white semi-trailer in front of a white wall 100ft away, the camera might not "see" the trailer. This can create situations where sensors are reporting conflicting data, which is bad - for example in the trailer situation, the camera would be saying "there's nothing in front of me until a wall 100ft away", but the radar would be saying "no there's something right in front of me". Or the radar might not "see" an obstacle that is a few feet off the ground while the camera is saying "there's something in front of me". Resolving these conflicts is hard.

Emacs believer here, but the same applies: it's not the editor, it's the supporting software. Like local instances of the project you're working on. Compilers. Web browsers. More web browsers in various team working crap you might need to be using (though I stick to using web versions of stuff like Slack; downloading them as apps is just pure waste of memory and compute). Videoconferencing for remote work. Etc.
Or to put it differently: If you raise a child like in a developing country, but you are in one of many developed nations, the government will come and abduct your child.
There's a huge bandwidth bottleneck on both input and output sides. Your imagination of what a neural lace would do is too limited.
It wouldn't be 3d, it wouldn't be auditory.

It would be having a perfect recollection of every single moment of your life.

It would be knowing the entire contents of wikipedia off by heart.

It would be understanding and speaking every language on the planet.

It would be looking out the window and seeing exactly where a friend living 1000km is in your field of view.

It would be sharing thoughts and feelings with other people in the literal sense.

It would be the ability to suppress short term urges by being constantly aware of your long term goals and your progress towards them.

It would be the ability to open an enterprise project you're working on, and instantly know the layout of their codebase.

If you're imagining the neural lace interface to be sensory, you're way off the mark. Sensory interconnect is just the beginning. The real revolution is giving your brain a low level IO bus that allows a computer to transparently extend it beyond the physical limits of whatever number of neurons are in your head.
Do you dry yourself before putting your pants on? If so how?

I am ever intrigued with how long lived the Ancient Greek and Romans were in spite of near to no medical knowledge whatsoever. They still believed in miasma theory and, in spite of phenomenal advances in most sciences and culture, medicine remained quite backwards for the entirety of their civilizations. Yet go look at the age of death of most any Roman or Greek. There's some selection bias in that names that we know obviously did not die when they were 15, yet the bias is probably not that large. Aristotle died at 61. And you might think that would be average or old, but he actually died quite young. Wiki has pages on lists of ancient Greeks [1] and Romans [2] to facilitate easier searching. Just picking some names out:

Plato - 80

Socrates - 71 (sentenced to death)

Antisthenes - 80

Hippocrates - 90

Pythagorus - 75

The reason for the lower life expectancy was largely because of people dying during childhood and infancy. And so it makes one immediately wonder about things like this. Sharing poop rods seems like a great way to spread disease, yet on the other hand the immune system, like much of our body, becomes stronger with use -- the whole concept behind vaccines.

Put another way, it seems to me that we're not living as long as we 'ought' be. What would the life expectancy of these peoples be if you gave them their culture and style of living, yet also threw in only imminent life saving interventions from modern medicine? Based on limited data it seems it would begin to challenge the life expectancy of man today, certainly if we exclude the mortality of childhood and infancy. Though perhaps that is also part of the picture. Vastly improved care for infants and children has removed natural selection from that part of humanity.

No idea, but each time I read one of these alien sounding tales, it certainly sparks the imagination!

Got a link for rotation time frame recommendations because I have seen them all over the board. I understand the basic one that you want old employees to have no knowledge of current credentials but I have worked with security rotation requirements for minutely, hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly and I've never really seen a reasoning for the difference between them.
>GC will be "free" while malloc/free won't be

malloc is several magnitudes simpler than GC though. Then there's the question when (if ever) wasm will have GC and what kind of GC will it be.
Well this is it, n'est ce pas? Is google really about "do no evil" or will capitalism melt the snowflakes. Either way, googles fate is of its own making.
Have you seen non-technical people using their devices, particularly older people? Every button press they make is a force touch and if that doesn't do what's expected they'll press harder. It's hard enough getting them not to long press or double click and now the company known for making things easy to use is making things even more confusing for lay people.
With all due respect, I never understood the prevailing attitude in the US to do everything it takes to make you keep that „sacred life“ if you get pregnant by accident – and then once it‘s there, drop it like a hot potato and do exactly zero to make it a tax-paying, happy and productive member of society. The hypocrisy of it all just blows my mind.
> The vast majority of working professionals have not memorised what the F-keys do in arbitrary situations. (If you don't believe this, you've never worked in as a consultant for a wide variety of companies in a wide variety of professional fields.)

That's actually pretty sad (and should be remedied with some education, starting with emphasizing the fact that tools have a learning curve and you're supposed to follow it). I mean, look at non-professionals working with computers daily, like e.g. shop clerks. They have every possible shortcut used in their sales/inventory management software in muscle memory.
At which point did we, as a society, settle the philosophical conundrum that is taking an unborn life? Cells, fetus or baby? What is it? Since when? Why? How should it be done?

I'm not religious at all but it seems to me that, at least tangentially, most religious believes are rooted in philosophical unknowns and feeling of uncertainty. Religious people then resort to their faith of choice as a way to find answers.

Then again, since, as you say, being against abortion for religious reasons is idiotic, do we have an all encompassing
scientific and philosophical answer about when, why and how it is "not idiotic" to perform an abortion?

If we don't, because as far as I know we don't, then why is it idiotic to decide based on your inability to understand a situation for which other people do not have answers?

As I said, I'm not religious and agree that religion is certainly not the only compass some people should lead their lives by. Nevertheless, your remark rubbed me the wrong way. "Idiotic," how can you be so judgmental if you to don't have answers to all the questions I listed above?

When both our children was in daycare somewhere between the age 1-2, we told them that he (both times) was almost potty trained, but still need a diaper to sleep. They wanted to just give them a diaper and told us "oh, but boys get out of the diaper later". No lady, he is well aware of when he needs to go, and we've trained this. Now work with us, rather than destroy our work. No wonder some of them get our of the diaper so late, when the professionals care takers have so little time that they recommend later potty training.
Ask HN: Paid random email inbox generator service?
Hey HN,

Is there a service out there that allows you to get a random email inbox with high privacy guarantees that you can decide when to destroy? Something that would allow you to oversee many such inboxes, e.g. if you wanted to have one for each service you sign up for.

I know there are services like Guerrilla Mail out there, but given that they're free and of not particularly clear privacy stance, I'd rather go with a paid product that I can count more on.

Thanks!

Anyone who doesn't like the Touch Bar is ipso facto deluded and/or irrational. Fantastic.

My main means of input to my computers is touch-typing on a keyboard. I never look at it (I already have a peripheral for looking at: a screen!). Replacing an entire row of keys with a miniature screen would represent a fairly profound change to how I operate a machine I use for 5-8 hours day, for no benefit.

Furthermore the application I use for 50-70% of that time is IntelliJ Idea, with tweaked default keybindings. I probably hit F keys hundreds of times a day. I would need to either do some substantial keybinding remapping, or start using part of my keyboard as a mini-screen.

I don't either like or dislike the Touch Bar. I just have no interest in it, as it makes the new MB Pros quite irrelevant to my professional requirements.
> No it is not. But might be someday. Will that be good enough?

I'm cynical enough to want to wait for it to actually be that good before bestowing the marketing goodwill on the company.

"Might be someday" doesn't really cut it for me any more.

Let's wait until we get there, then evaluate the situation.

I'm a little confused about something: in a locked-down kernel, what would prevent the user from just replacing the kernel image and rebooting? Would the kernel lock down the image?

EDIT: Sorry for the confusion, I mean lockdown without Secure Boot -- I thought Linus was saying they were independent things, so I was trying to see how lockdown could work independently of Secure Boot.
I know that we live in an outrage culture that doesn't respect orders of magnitude, but "he who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense"[1].

They propose to withdraw 0.5E6 gal/day. We have data for the state of Michigan (in 2004, but probably not too much different today)[2] If we're only talking about ground water, industrial is 89.1E6, irrigation is 197E6, and electric generation is 4.1E6 usage. Why is it OK for these uses of ground water, but not the much much higher value use of water that actual human beings drink? I suppose that not many people are dipping their flow meter into the power plant's water main and noticing the massive quantities of water that they use (and then return to the environment, just like Nestle). They do see the case of bottled water on the shelf though and get pissed off that some company is making money selling the fruits of a public resource.

To put it in perspective, in all of Michigan, total water usage is 11E9 gal/day. Nestle wants to use 0.5E6 gal/day. The population of Michigan is about 10E6, so they propose to make a giant factory that uses the same amount of water as 500 people. Somehow a giant plant using the same amount of water as 500 people attracts 80,000 negative comments. Go figure.

I don't really mind Javascript that much, although I do agree that there are definitely nicer languages, and that Rust is probably one (I haven't worked with Rust yet).

That said, one really nice thing that I fear we'd lose is the interoperability of the ecosystem. There are a lot of good libraries available for Javascript that help doing webdev, and I wonder what effect fragmentation of languages could have on that. Will we trade having nicer languages for availability of useful libraries in your language of choice?
