My take: all the recent changes in western society could be tagged with "Individualism". Fundamental changes regarding lifestyle, relationships and sexuality were enabled by the demise of collectivist ideologies like communism and national socialism which had clear ideas how humans should live, and the wealth and flexibility of modern economies, which enable the individual to exist without any dependencies except a job.

Instead of refering to moral, ethical and other absolutist arguments it's useful to look at how until recently rules limiting the individual were probably necessary for collective survival, and delight in the freedom we can have now.

Right now we're watching people around us coming to terms with planned death (possible now since the community does not need you to tough it out until the end any more). There are more radical and crazy changes ahead that would be revolting right now but will be normal in the future.

In addition I think it's weird for a company who should be all about scaling and automation, to say that smaller jobs are costing them significantly more to service than bigger ones. The differential should be negligible. I'd be interested to see the detail on that.

>", it's about awareness."

I'm curious if this is actually statistically true specifically in regards to google ads which has active user exploration as opposed to tv/radio/magazines which has passive consumption.

To me, the "awareness ads" are campaigns typically created by CocaCola/Pepsi, beer, DeBeers diamonds-are-forever, Viagra-you-should-asky-your-doctor-about-it. The ads typically feature vague and generic "lifestyle" vignettes and will not have a "call toll-free 1-800 to order" at the end. Like you said, it's all about brand awareness. It's also the type of ads that get aired during the NFL SuperBowl.

But many google ads are highly contextual with the active web surfer already and partially in a "sales funnel". Examples would be a search for "plumber" or "computer RAM" which means the customer is primed to buy something now. I read previously that the vast majority of google ad revenue comes from small & medium businesses and not the Fortune 500 giants like CocaCola and Budweiser. Those small & medium business care very much about "click through" rather than just "awareness impressions." (Side note: Looking through the most expensive adwords list[1] seems to bring up business sectors that rely more on click-through-&-buy-now rather than awareness-&-delay-buy-later.)

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable about these 2 types of ads can confirm which one contributes the most revenue to Google.

I've seen too many people get unnecessary, life-quality-killing butcherous surgeries and read the evidence confirming most end-of-life surgeries rarely have useful benefit. If you're going to check out, go with dignity and don't put your family / self through extended suffering. If you have to go in an unprogressive country, nitrogen itself leaves no evidence and paraphernalia is minimal and can be removed.

Also, please do a will, pick an executor, prepaid funeral and make a Quick Reference guide to finances, assets, bills, keys and passwords... both my mother and I are getting this done ahead of time.

It's not as depressing as leaving family to stumble through things while grieving.
My kids to go Meridian, which so far has been a fantastic school and is about 1/3 the price of a private school in the U.S. (I see that PBS is almost as expensive as ISP, which is very high). What is your citizenship? Any issues with moving to the U.S.? My advice would be to go for 3 months and try it out (maybe in the summer when the kids are out of school). All I can say is that I loved living in LA, but I would never do it with a family (unless I was a lot more wealthy than I am now). Good luck!

Don't get me wrong, we review code. We simply don't review commits. Reviewing absolutely every commit would feel like a waste of our time and an efficiency issue.

Anticipating this objection I looked at some COPPA info briefly (I'm in the UK, in not that familiar with USCs) and it suggested that the jurisdiction was based on location of the controlling company or the servers (either being sufficient) and not location of the children accessing the service. That makes sense as otherwise company's could just use offshore servers and bypass the regulation.

Google ads in search will always be valuable because you can advertise nail varnish to people who have just searched for "buy nail varnish".

This is also about the millionth post I've read which assumes that companies simply throw money at advertising and don't run any statistics of their own. Simply, if you spend a lot on an ad campaign for a product and your sales don't go up, you notice that and rethink your next campaign. CPM and all that are at best proxy metrics for the thing you really care about, "are our profits/sales up".

On the other hand,

> it looks like lead really is the culprit

And yes,

> there are reasons to be cautious about the results

But that's immediately followed by,

> However, the main strength of this study is unquestionably important: it verifies the lead-crime link in [a new] environment...

That's not the level of nuance I'm looking for.

More specifically, I think articles tend to be stronger when they acknowledge that there are multiple theories for crime trends, several of which have some explanatory power, none of which really gives a complete picture.

If the title were "Lead contributed to higher crime rates" rather than "Lead caused higher crime rates," that would be the sort of concession I'm looking for.

Unreservedly agree with you about the older piece though. Even without discussing alternative theories, Drum's earlier article is a good example of science journalism that puts a paper in perspective, (titled "some new evidence" rather than "X causes Y"), and the content is really well balanced.

I have many physical books of various Eastern European and Slavic tales in my childhood home, but nothing in English or in electronic form.. Anyway, Slavic and Eastern European fairy tales are not very different from other European nations' tales and have much in common (South Europe might be a little different, but I'm not an expert to comment much) to the extend that sometimes only character names differ (or animal type). You might try Grimm's Fairy Tales[1] if haven't read yet, but aim for original/older edition[2] as originally it was quite violent but softened increasingly over time.

If I walk into a store, the assistant asks "Can I help you?" and I reply "I'm looking for a crimson-coloured nail varnish" and then she says "Sure! We have a new line in this week, can I show you?" then I'm more than happy to let her show me. That's what google search ads feel like.

If I'm sitting in a restaurant having a conversation with a friend and a person from the next table leans over and interrupts to say "I notice your nails aren't painted properly, can I interest you in our new line of nail varnish?" then my first thought will be something like wouldn't it be cool if something horrible and painful happened to this person. Even if I was considering trying a new line of nail varnish.

I think it is pathetic that our economy rewards businesses which have somehow placed themselves such that they generate the most views.

Some of this is certainly my own fault (context: I'm the rude guy in the thread). There were two comments made by myself that were considered "rude": one early on, where I actually didn't even mean to be. And my last reply was bascially a rage-quit.

But I put all relevant information, academic and engineering-wise in the thread to try to convince Ruby-core to change their opinion. I replied to false assumptions and comments as best as I could.

I'm also only a human and since this bug has been open for 2 years, I've used SecureRandom extensively in the past, this was a very frustrating experience for myself and all the commenters involved. I certainly do not have the most "diplomatic" approach (as a friend put it). I know that. But I'm not really sorry about that either, it's just who I am. I'm a nice guy IRL people tell me, but I can get obnoxious when people don't listen to severe security issues and always refer to upstream, have been so in quite a few projects and standards processes.

I'll work on that, promise ;)

The probability distribution function of average coder understandable-documentation decays exponentially with subject matter expertise, in most cases. Furthermore, it is often semi-rational, usually unconscious non-/for-profit "job-securitization" to lay landmines and obscure functionality to reinforce in-group, elite, "arcane knowledge" hoarding and seem "expert."

A startup founder often wants to work themselves out of a job to do more useful things, most will do all they can to insulate themselves into indispensability (a lot of technical people are super insecure, I'm proly one of them, and a lot of corporate gigs are cut-throat fiefdoms).
