Apparently the author of the blog only focused on japanese zen stories, which is unfortunate, as the stories of chinese zen masters — where zen as a school of buddhism was founded — are as truthful, if not more original, than the japanese stories the author selected.

> Those kids ARE probably at higher risk in my opinion

My problem with those kind of statements is that you don't quantify the risk. Sure, "probably" at a "higher" risk. How much higher and does it really matter that is slightly higher? we do riskier activities all the time in exchange of convenience, fun, perceived necessity, etc. Sure, my kid is at a higher risk of injury by playing in the backyard (even if supervised) than by staying indoors in his room with padded walls, but at what cost? what about enjoying life a little more?

Furthermore, you're judging just on the probability (not on the reality of the circumstances for those parents) that allowing one activity you don't agree with (playing pokemon leaving child unsupervised) implies a lot of other "bad parenting" habits. Even if that were true (and I'd like to see real concrete numbers), judging people that way is a nasty habit IMO.
A lot of times, religious literature is about the ascetics, just like how TechCrunch tends to be about a very small portion of the tech community with rather extreme situations. TechCrunch isn't so much a charge to actually live the same life as, say, Jeff Bezos, but rather (if we typecast as a religious text) to extract and learn from it.

Divorced parents would have to answer to their formers spouse, their former spouse's attorney, a child's rep, the Court, etc. for any serious mishap.

I don't see how it can be argued that 'L' is intuitive to intermediate level developers. Even for senior developers you still have to stop and think rather than trust your gut. Developers will very intuitively see the bass class as the one that handles the most common cases, and subclasses as the exceptions that "override" and vary things a little bit.

My favorite example is the Doctor that can see all patients, and the Pediatrician that sees only children. Intuition would make Pediatrician the subclass of Doctor, when it should be the other way around. [1]

So was I just imagining all the people repeating the line that 'no one should die because they can't afford health care'? Or do you not see how that condition also exists in all the countries that do it right?

What is this replying to? What did I say that contradicted this or suggested otherwise, or merited a re-run of "everything wrong with health care in the US" as if I disagreed? I was addressing a specific fallacy, not somehow claiming that everything the US is wine and roses.
Erlang Easter-Eggs
"Pages that show intrusive interstitials provide a poorer experience to users than other pages where content is immediately accessible. This can be problematic on mobile devices where screens are often smaller. To improve the mobile search experience, after January 10, 2017, pages where content is not easily accessible to a user on the transition from the mobile search results may not rank as highly.

Here are some examples of techniques that make content less accessible to a user:

- Showing a popup that covers the main content, either immediately after the user navigates to a page from the search results, or while they are looking through the page.

- Displaying a standalone interstitial that the user has to dismiss before accessing the main content.

- Using a layout where the above-the-fold portion of the page appears similar to a standalone interstitial, but the original content has been inlined underneath the fold."

So you think a child being left alone in the home of a drug-addicted negligent parent will have the equivalent risk of a child of an otherwise caring parent who accidentally left them at home alone?

I'm not saying the reason itself changes the risk. I'm saying the reason gives me insight into the kind of parent a person is and the likelihood of their being higher risks in the child's environment. Or to use your analogy, there's probably a lot more 'land-mines' in the house of a parent who leaves to play pokemon than in the house of a parent who left their child alone due to an accident or unforeseen circumstances.

If you can't see that than you are blinded by your own sense of rationality.

> The gym battling system mechanics are not great.

That's a huge understatement. Initially the battling system was super confusing, but with enough trial-and-error we were able to figure it out. I even got into a couple fun battles with groups fighting over a gym, but every time it starts getting glitchy. The gym or the app become unresponsive - sometimes crashing or kicking people out mid-battle.

They need to make it more organized with a queue that blocks people out for a time if they lose. It would also be cool if they allowed people near the gym to actually watch other battles.

First, sorry for being a bit heavy on the hyperbole and saying "0%"; that is almost guaranteed to be wrong as a statement and also let me say I don't know Julia very well at all.

I want to clarify that when I say "0% web development going on", I don't mean that scientific programmers don't do web development (they do! a lot!), I meant that people don't pick it those languages in general if they are only doing web development without a numerical/scientific/statistical aspect to it.

What would be interesting is, do you know of any teams or companies using Julia in anger in a non-scientific setting, with programmers from a non-scientific background?

The scientific Python community certainly makes good use of all the Python web tools!, and being a "scientific stack" in no way precludes the need for general purpose frameworks that can also be used by others. It's at least as much about people and community and habits as about the tooling...

> Yes, child abduction/predation is unlikely ... because we've adopted a huge number of countermeasures that close of this vector.

Actually, most of the social "countermeasures" were adopted after high-profile single incidents in the 1990s (perhaps largely because the larger 1960s-1980s crime wave that had been the pretext for expanding government powers in the law enforcement arena previously was ending, and a new pretext was needed) and later, when the overall rate of incidents had been dropping for decades (since, IIRC, the 1950s or 1960s), but media attention to them -- and hence public perception of the prevalence of incidents -- had, at the same time, been increasing.

AFAIK, there is little-to-no evidence that any of the "countermeasures" have had any significant effect on the prevalence of child abduction/predation.
It isn't really that orthogonal. Just like authentication, things like service discovery, smart clients (with load balancing, retries, etc) should likely be pluggable with some reasonable defaults, otherwise you will be building your own custom stuff on top of it and lose a lot of the value of having a standard. See Finagle for a more complete RPC framework.
> My point is that the parent who is accidentally negligent most likely is providing their child with a safer environment than the parents who intentionally leave their child alone.

In both cases you usually don't see whether the parents left their child intentionally or not.

Whatever the real reason, harassing the parents is quite a judgement based on a statistics with sample size 1.
At least they are all consistent in their "excitement."
Do you have a mobile client you like? I remember being frustrated by what I could find for Pinboard, as far as replacing Instapaper.
To take this to an extreme (and not even as a reducto ad absurdum): if a child does something that has the potential to break a bone... that thing should still be basically considered "safe." Children's bones heal!
It's unfortunate that nearly every webpage these days is a Javascript State Machine which you have to execute in a sandbox and inspect its internal state to get stuff out of.

On a blog post by Paul Kinlan ('Open Web Advocate' at Google and Chromium) [1], I lamented that we ended up here instead of the semantic web because the semantic web was hard to execute. Instead, every web page is a black-box, only navigable by an intelligent and/or sufficiently persuadable human.

But this is also why I don't buy ethical arguments against scraping. Sure, legally any company can unilaterally set any TOS prohibition against behavior they don't want, and these terms may be tested in court. But navigating a page in an automated manner that's designed to resemble interactions of humans (ie. through Selenium) is in my opinion ethical, because it merely time-shifts a user's activity.

That's not zero supervision IMO. The parent is easily within range of the child, and most likely checks up on them from time to time.

Edit: I think a lot of people in this thread are getting the idea that I'm advocating parents need to helicoptor parent their 2-year olds 24/7. Not at all what I'm saying. I don't think you are greatly increasing risks to your child in that scenario.
Indeed I forgot about the Wannabe VC :) All jokes aside you are absolutely right that these are the guys you want to avoid like the plague because they are not invested in your success or even your journey.

Also, since this is somewhat untouched territory, don't be so sure that you'll get a judge who is as well-versed in web scarping and infrastructure as you, or shares your opinions on the subject. (And given that precedents are so important in US laws, you better hope someone else before you didn't get such a judge.)

I agree with you. I clarified similar position in a followup[0]. However, let's not just confine ourselves to grandma and personal pictures. The issue is all encompassing content; some of lesser value, and some greater. You may think all of your shared content is of value, but the receiver may not feel the same. You have to judge (think) before you direct your message. It is of course an easy choice to send baby's pictures to the grandma, but when you have to target different pictures, you have to think about the target audience. Going one level deep, you may have a story to share instead of a picture. You are now hard pressed to email because you know others may have already seen it, or something else.

Ultimately, the evolution of the web to the social media has happened due to human's lazy nature. We are not capable of directing messages of mass nature to one-on-one. We can direct messages of personal nature to one-on-one, but that's about it. For this reason, social media - versus email - has been able to make inroads into people's lives. Certainly, we feel that one-to-many is not the right approach, hence we form this or that group, to confine ourselves into self-created boundaries (groups have its own pros and cons).

Dubai's Hyperloop Dreams Are Shockingly Sensible
Looks like typical cherry-picked anti-global-warming denialism to me.

Take, for example, this quote:

> The chart also reveals the two outliers of the group: Stockholm and Galveston, Texas. They both show a distinct cycle of ups and downs with no obvious relation to CO2 levels. (Stockholm's gauge has recorded a declining sea level trend.....at -14.3 inches per century, as of the end of 2014.)

Stockholm is in an area of post-glacial rebound. It makes no sense to include this as a measure of global sea level.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264200132_Long-term... is a paper I found which does the same analysis of tidal stations, but with a Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and a longer baseline.

It's a much more thorough piece. One of points made is:

> These results confirm Meyssignac et al. [2012] observations that the sea level
fluctuations in the Tropical Pacific are due mostly to the internal modes of ocean variability.

I bring it up because c3headlines.com page points to the lack of rise in the Pacific Islands as evidence against global sea level rise, instead of modeling both natural and anthropogenic effects.

It concludes:

> A strong external anthropogenic trend is at least 1 mm/yr in GMSLR that is more than half of the total observed sea level trend during the XXth century.

and it gives pointers to many other studies of the same topic, also based on a more extensive analysis of the tidal records.

The comments and method of analysis reveal a much better understanding of the details and limitation of the results than the low-quality report that user "waterrising" linked to.

Ladders to help children get up to neck-breaking heights when climbing trees (in Denmark):

http://blogs.harvard.edu/philg/2016/08/23/ladders-to-help-ch...
Your point #1 is spot on. The gyms killed it for me because it made Pokémon Go really competitive. The atmosphere of random people being friendly to each other & exploring their city together quickly changed to people insulting and taunting each other for being on opposing teams. I'm still refusing to join a team because of it.

What I enjoyed was the "Geocaching" aspects - going outside with friends, helping each other search together, visiting new places I normally wouldn't go to (ie new Pokéstops, catching a train to new suburbs to explore what's there). I also like the fitness aspect, ie tracking how far I've walked. But Pokéwalks with friends aren't fun when someone is more interested in defending a specific gym, rather than Pokémon being an excuse to hang out and go for a walk by the lake together.

I've spent more on this than any mobile game (probably $15 - $25, I kept needing to upgrade my Pokémon storage and bag storage). But I uninstalled the app earlier this week.

We can remove the children if the risks and behaviour are severe enough.

Here's a mother who left young children (oldest was four) to fend for themselves for a day while she went off on a drink and drug "binge":
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/nov/17/binge-mother-drug...

Plenty of deaths feel preventable. Her's a mother who didn't supervise her children and they ran into traffic. That event caused social services to take interest in her, and they advised her to cover a garden pond. She didn't, and one day while she was not paying attention to her children one of them died. That's a tragedy for that family.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-34491753
I started out thinking that, but after considering it some more, I'm not sure it's just a halo effect.

Here's a chain of correlations: parents who leave their children alone at random (rather than in a structured and pre-planned way) are probably more impulsive. Trait-impulsivity is hereditary. Thus, leaving a (blood-related) child alone is predictive of that child taking more risks and being the kind of child who can't be left alone safely.

(On the other hand, leaving a child you're the adoptive parent or guardian of alone isn't predictive of anything.)

To be honest, it's still a bit of a WTF in this particular article given that there's plenty of behavioural evidence that (i) people really don't like scanning receipts into tracking systems, even when they're being paid to do so by getting their expenses refunded (ii) most consumers don't know or care what a QR code is
Sounds like you have actually skipped LOTS of major OS versions, like Debian 5.0 for example.
I think you may have misunderstood the parent; the argument is that an unattended child in the home of a drug-addicted negligent parent is at the SAME level of risk whether that parent left them alone to purchase drugs, or whether they went to work, but that observers don't rate the two situations as comparable.
I guess first and foremost would be Visual Studio. Still one of the greatest and most powerful IDEs to use, in my opinion. I love it. Secondly would be that it might just be the most well-documented and supported native language for Windows, that isn't open-source. The power of all the languages at your disposal (the ones that run on .NET) is immense, and if you already programmed with another standard of C++, getting used to the .NET implementation will be a piece of cake (mostly). Also, if you'd like to go with smaller languages, there are many others that are based on the .NET framework, such as the functional F# or the Python-like (but compiled, not interpreted) Boo.
>I doubt very much there was ever a point in history where 2-year olds were left with zero supervision.

Your comment seems culturally biased. See the movie Babies? The Mongolian baby Bayar was often left alone for hours.
Indeed. Here's to psychiatry, the one medical specialty with a consistent record of creating more diseases for themselves to treat every year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babies_(film)

Shows a toddler in Mongolia--probably younger than two--tethered to a bed in a tent all day while her parents work in the field. She gets checked up on at lunch time when her parents come back (and probably other times).

Such actions are routine in other cultures.
Of course the risk of a habit of flippantly walking across minefields is significantly more than the willingness to do it to save a life.
