My wife and I have had this conversation before, and we are aware of the particular case you linked too.

I don't want to come across as crass, but, with respect, I will make this short observation:

You trust your child's life to hundreds of strangers every time you drive them somewhere. The chance of your child being hurt by a careless/bored/insane stranger on a per trip basis is very, very low. I assert that the risk of child services becoming involved after you let your child play on a trampoline (or whatever) is even less.
Live landing of ExoMars Mission (english)
A recent scam is for sellers to pop up who have long delivery times and no intention at all of delivering anything. They earn a few good reviews somehow at the beginning (paid? from mad people?) so look respectable. If you order from them, it'll be a couple of months before you realise they are a scam and before you can get your money back from Amazon.

Here are a couple of such sellers (I suspect in fact the same seller appearing twice). I was conned by both when ordering some bicycle parts, despite checking their feedback very carefully at the time of the order. I still haven't had a refund from the second one.

Well keeping with your analogy we also wouldn't just sit there feeding the person pain killers and hope it works either, which is pretty much what SSRIs would be.

Brain chemistry and "fixing" it is more voodoo than science right now. There are many underlying causes of depression and it's pretty unlikely there's going to be a fix that's surgically precise and accounts for even a large number of cases with one solution.

My point wasn't that SSRIs are bad or don't work, but it does usually take more than just popping pills to mitigate and help depression. Pills aren't the full solution. They're part of a working solution but not the entirety of it.
I think it's also important to remember more specifically in the realm of quality that computers are not the answer to every problem. They're extremely complex electronics that can have bugs anywhere in the stack from hardware to software, and are bound by certain constraints that physical media are not (for example, the availability of electricity, or lack of harmful interference).

Sometimes I don't need to remember everything I've drawn on a whiteboard. And what's more, if I'm using a smart board that reboots in the middle of brainstorming, I'm thrown majorly off my groove and it may take a long time to recover my train of thought after troubleshooting.

So the complexity affords tremendous flexibility, but unavoidably at the cost of reliability.
5 Tips to Avoid Enterprise / Startup Partnership Pitfalls
> Why do they keep redoing the exercise system? It seemed that they are changing for the sake of changing.

Most of the recent changes have been focused on two axes, very tightly related:

1. The old exercise system did not work sanely on mobile. Supporting
mobile required both front- and backend changes.
2. As part of that, we wanted to extend the kinds of things we could do
in exercises so that they'd be usable for more than just the simple
math problems they've been focused on until now.

We all know there were some minor regressions in the process of getting there, but we're basically done with the tear-it-down-and-rebuild-it part of the process, so the churn should be a lot saner now.
Mostly what stands out to me from this is that they only get the tablets just a few hours before the game.

That's ridiculous, unless the NFL is also providing all the technical support (which Bill's actual rant doesn't imply they do.) Having just a short time to use, test and get them ready for the game is incredibly lousy, and certainly won't give the team's IT people any chance to seriously troubleshoot and improve the situation.

It doesn't matter who makes the tech, or how solid it is. You can't just throw tech at a problem and expect it to solve it.
I think this article was submitted yesterday with the original headline. Looking at newsdiffs, looks like this is a case where a copy editor tried to be clever, and later on, people realized that the clever bit resulted in a tangible inaccuracy:

"isolated from the local community"

What is there about the local community that is good, if most agree with the echo chamber view that all good exclusively comes from a small number of hyper selective ivies with very peculiar demographics? If the local community were good, why won't they get hired, why are they only vitally important to be nearby, yet not actually in contact? What is the metric or method where the quality of software, for instance, depends directly on distance to X, Y, Z? Why could someone possibly think X, Y, and Z only exist in urban areas? Ignorance not being much of a defense.

If good can only come from young elite freshly grad white males as employees, is working near/in the ghetto a peculiar form of penance? "We wouldn't let them get an education for skin color reasons but we are good people because we will permit them empty the trash bins after hours out of the goodness of our hearts".

"We don't hire coloreds or foreigners or girls here for culture fit reasons, only guys from the same frat at the same elite school, but we are a block away from several ethnic restaurants" appears to be the new "some of my best friends are blacks" for racists who don't get that they sound racist. Burb people and non-startup people are much more open minded than city people on average, more flexible, willing to try something new, a new lifestyle in a new area in new construction, etc.

The article assumes parks and nature are an inherent evil, which seems outright weird. Also a severe case of neophillia where any historic architecture is inherently evil, but I like old buildings, they look cool... Something new is guaranteed to be new, not guaranteed to be better. Also history is long and something new is almost certainly a historical rehash that failed because of X, Y, and Z. History is circular not linear. "I wanna make a village (where I'm chief)" isn't innovative in 2016, it was innovative in 6000 BC. Its just part of the fad rotation today, and like all fads it can be ignored with little loss.

Having worked in suburban office parks and extremely urban areas I'm mystified at the isolation thing. It seems to exist entirely in some peoples minds but not in reality. "support companies" seem to grow fabulously, sprawl like, profitably in the burbs almost despite local government opposition, endless buildings of retail and restaurants and bars. The city mostly seems to be where those employers go to die even after obtaining sometimes massive government subsidies. Observation would imply that something is killing those businesses in the city and expanding them in the burbs and its probably not the theoretical "isolation" that observably seems to exist primarily in reverse. If burb offices are isolating, why is the economic growth in the immediate area so explosive compared to the dying subsidized urban areas?
I know that the writers come up with the original title which is transferred to the URL and the editors change it to fit the style of the newspaper a little better, but the editors should have the ability/responsibility to edit the URL as well. I agree the permalink is a little ridiculous.
See your mobile phone: it depends whether the manufacturer makes that an option. In a processor I'm familiar with (imx53), once it's turned on by a processor fuse it stays on - it's then up to the second stage boot loader (provided by the device OEM) to decide whether to load untrusted images.
Though of course, knowledge of whether it has in fact started transmitting the @ESA_EDM landing recording will also take 9m47s to reach Earth.
> Alternatively I think Rust could compete heavily with Go since the whole microservices space is still sort of up for grabs (or atleast is so massive that there is plenty of pie to be had).

I think you're wrong about this one. Go has a ton of HTTP libraries that make it dead simple to get a web service up and running with all the features you'd expect like pattern-matching URL routing, database backends, sessions, etc. Building something in Rust would be much more painful.

True, European cities would still have been densely populated, but I was envisioning US cities from that time period since we are talking about the American 'burbs. (I could be wrong just as well.) I currently reside in DC and the old, original suburbs as well as what used to be considered the outskirts, have long been consumed by the metro area. Where it was once sparsely populated, it is now heavily populated, heavily paved and herds of cars as far as the eye can see.

The freedom of the press is the same thing as free speech, it applies to all of us. Correct me if you are referring to something else and I'm misunderstanding.

There are best practices in journalism, no? Disclosure, ethics, etc. How can I know if someone I rely on for information follows these rules. That's all I'm asking.

I already did in response to @singham's rather standoff-ish reply (inconsistent typing rules in the data store across APIs, oftentimes with no way to override).

That is very much a "Big Company" problem though. At Google, you have one team doing the web UI, one team doing the data store backend, one team doing the Python API, one team doing the GoLang API.

These teams may (and probably will) disagree about the best way to handle types, and they won't collaborate (due to politics and differences of opinions) about making sure they are consistent. Given that cross-team communication is often poor, there won't even be any "forcing function" to make sure that they are consistent, and so, by Murphy's Law, they won't be.

The US is more difficult because you no national health insurance.

Accident liability for healthcare are bucketed with health insurance, general liability insurance, auto insurance or workers compensation. If you hit a certain threshold with certain conditions, the insurance companies will try to pin the blame on somebody else.

When I had back surgery ($$$), they had investigators look into my background and called under various guises in an attempt to get me to say that I was injured in a minor car accident a few years earlier. Fortunately while I was present at the accident, I wasn't in the car (some dope slammed into my car in a parking lot). In the meantime, I was at risk of having care cutoff, as they refused to pay claims.
Cars?

The first suburbs were enabled by trains, not cars, and were developed and promoted by the railway company.

Resolution is how many pixels per the entire screen. DPI is how many pixels per a inch.

For instance, a high resolution 4k TV that is 50" might not be considered high DPI compared to a 4k 15" laptop screen.
Well, that's a nice article. I have to say, however, that the vast majority of tech companies aren't in 1950's suburbia, they're located in late 20th century office parks: single story "flex space" buildings built on concrete slabs with plentiful parking, a truck dock or two, drop ceilings with good HVAC and fluorescent lighting over a sea of cubicles.

The stuff in the article would be known by realtors as "trophy buildings". Some lucky folks get to work in one of those but most people even in the innovative companies work in flex space in the exburbs. This architecture is so boring that no one wants to even talk about it. Its just a place to show up for work. In your car, of course.

Actual 1950's suburbia, these days, consists of charming inner-ring "streetcar" suburbs. They would be classified by most folks today as "walkable" upscale neighborhoods. Some outer suburban areas are now getting the "new urbanist" treatment to make them more like streetcar suburbs, but sadly these developments are NOT YET getting to the exburban office parks off the highway exits.

I think redlining restricted minorities from the Suburbs, but didn't contribute to the growth of suburbs itself. What contributed to suburban growth, in my view was:

1) cars, cars enabled people to commute. They were not bound by walking and transit. 2) Population growth. After wwii we saw lots of growth and cities were not seen as a place to raise children --given the pollution and grime which plagued previous industry. People wanted nice affordable places to raise their kids, not tenement housing. 3) Decay. Cities were not always peaceful, clean places. They had labor unrest, grime, crime, noise, etc. and some people wanted to "graduate" to nicer places. I think redlining illustrates that not only did whites want to move to the burbs, but also minorities wanted to move out of cities(else redlining would not have existed as a tool to discriminate against their moving in)

Modern cities are not the same as mid 1900s cities. They are cleaner, better run, better planned, more responsive, etc.
Also depends on the definition of "crash". Did the system crash, did the app crash, or did it just reboot itself for updates at an inopportune moment?

The idea of using a Surface for something as trivial as looking at pictures is ridiculous. The idea of Surface is it's a full computer in tablet form. It's way too much power and way too much complexity for the use case.
I would add watching news and using social media to that list, as there plenty of research that show how those destroys a persons ability to assess risk. Each year we get studies that show how people are factually more safer today than last year, and yet perceive the world as less safe.

PGP-People often talk about a "web of trust". Sometimes I wonder if any of them ever saw a web (like a spider web)? From the UX of popular PGP tools I can only assume no one did, because none of them can answer basic questions (and indeed, the data model doesn't support it, either), like "What's the relation of key XYZ [from an untrusted source, say keyserver] to my key?"
Mars Express recorded Schiaparelli's signal during descent. All this report is is that Mars Express has started downlinking the recording to Earth --- it's not a report that contact's been made with the lander.
High resolution screens have lots of pixels and high DPI screens have many pixels per inch.

If you look at an Ultra HD (3840x2180) 40" TV close up versus a 5" phone screen (say 1334x750) viewed from the same distance you'll notice the phone screen is sharper despite having fewer pixels.
2560x1440 is ~109 dpi when the pixels are arranged to fill a 27" monitor. (This is not considered "Retina".)

2560x1440 is ~500 dpi when the pixels are squeezed into a 6" phone display such as as Google Nexus 6/6P.

The "Retina" description refers to the dpi exceeding 300 dpi and not the absolute # of pixels.
>that really is not going to help them be well-adjusted in life

This is the crux of your argument and is vaguely worded. Saying 'not going to help' is not mutually exclusive with 'not going to hinder'. I'd like to see a proof of a stronger condition than 'not helping', for example 'actively harming' before you are justified in calling for action. Your have not provided any sources to back up your claims.

This argument frustrates me because even if uncensored internet access is mentally harmful for a child, the assumption that the correct way to address this is censorship, to me, smacks of denial. Censorship only works on the naive.

> How do we solve the problem?

Accept that uncensored internet access in a 21st century western society is unconditional, and display appropriate parenting skills to teach your children to mentally cope with anything they might encounter. 'Worked on my machine'.

If there were some extremely urgent problem, like if aliens showed up in orbit tomorrow and demanded we send an emissary, then no doubt it could be done pretty quickly.

The current commercial crew program is aiming for manned flight in August of next year. I'd give extremely good odds for that to slip, but 2018 is probably a pretty safe bet right now. And that's without a big sense of urgency driving things.

Now, I have to preface this by saying that I don't know much about football and even less about coaching it, but I wonder how much of this speaks to a lack of a real need for a technology solution for coaches. If it were providing a lot of value to them, I imagine they'd have a harder giving it up.

This NFL suggests that there is such a need: "Since Microsoft has been a partner of the N.F.L. and implemented their technology on our sidelines, the efficiency and speed of communication between coaches has greatly increased."

But of course, that is the NFL speaking about a partner's product, so I can't imagine them saying anything else.
