I think your citations are instances of confirmation bias; also, you're only citing a handful of examples, and they're examples so extreme they made national news. (They're also each a year apart.)

Even in large cities kids roam alone in their neighborhoods and parks. I live in SF, and regularly see kids under 10 skateboarding or riding their bikes on their own around my neighborhood. Now that I'm a parent, I also see toddlers running around fields in GG Park, barely within in earshot of their parents.

Odds are, if you don't see kids running around your neighborhood, it's either because you live in a neighborhood without many children (like most of SF), or you tend to be at work during the hours in which most children play.
No, it doesn't necessarily correspond. It could be an indicator, though. RSS would be more useful, IMO.

That said, even if the poster is correct, it isn't necessarily wrong either. AFAICT, nothing stops JS on a page from allocating that much memory, and "leaking" it (e.g., holding on to the JS object, maybe accidentally in a giant list, and not making use of it). It isn't the browser's fault if JS is actually "using" that much RAM.
When I was 6 years old my mom used to let me ride my bike all over town (a 5 mile jaunt) all day long. When I was 8, me and my friends used to walk 4 miles to school to play basketball, then spend rest of day playing in woods. Eventually when I was around 13 one of my friends lost an eye due to our experiments with explosives, but other than that we all survived.

Maybe I should call CPS on my mom. What's the statute of limitations.
Even the super cheap options like Assetto Corsa (my sim of choice because I can't afford to maintain the skill and money required by iRacing) meet many of the challenges you listed. Check out EmptyBox on youtube [0]. He's recently started using VR headsets in his regular races and he is quite good at sim racing. He also is entertaining.

It's certainly not a replacement for an actual car, track time, etc, but the $1000 I spent on hardware to get a simulation of it (that I also use for other things like Flight simulation) was well worth it.

IMHO this would lower the already limited type information contained in a C program. `auto` still has some use in C++ where typing out repetitive template types can get tedious but it still reduces readability in my opinion.

In general no, single actuators move in one dimension and then only in one direction. In humans we have muscle pairs, one contracts to open the joint and the other contracts to close the joint. Of course you can do the same thing with artificial actuators, but you're right, the really interesting stuff happens when you have lots of "actuators" (like a sheet that has a hundred individually inflatable cells) or the material that the actuators are embedded in folds in an interesting way. The properties of the skeleton have as much to do with the dynamics of the robot as the actuators do.

>There might be isolated cases of that happening, but in general, nothing close to that.

Where people want to live and work are cities. If you look at urban housing vs wages, housing has grown 3x compared to wages. Considering urban areas isolate cases is somewhere in between funny and absurd.

>The tax burden has basically gone opposite of what you imply.

I have neither stated nor implied anything about tax burden. I've only stated incentives and their consequences.

> For example, the top 10% paid 49% of taxes in 1980 and paid 70% in 2014. (http://www.ntu.org/foundation/page/who-pays-income-taxes) The "top marginal rate" means very little by itself.

The top marginal rate is a threat, with a real consequence. Of course the vast majority will try to avoid it, it's how they avoid it that matters.

> What matters is the effective rate which takes into account the credits/deductions that are allowed, the other lower tax rates, etc.

No, that's not what matters. I'm not trying to make sure the effective rate is either fair or equal among people who make the same income. What I want to do is incentivize a greater velocity of money, rather than rich people who don't need to save another dime, causing inflated housing and stock prices by stashing money there. I want the risk of saving money at the top end to be at least equal to that of starting or growing a business. And right now top end tax rates are so damn cheap it is way less risky to pay that cheap ass tax, and stuff the rest in real estate or stocks, than it is to take a 100% tax deduction and start or grow a business. That's bad.

And you increase the risk of being a hoarder with the real threat of taking most of that income away, above a certain amount. It doesn't matter that in 1928 probably only 5 people in the whole country paid 90+% income tax on their last $100,000 earned. The very fact that insane rate existed was the incentive for most everyone else to do something with their money rather than nothing. And it's the something else that is the benefit to society. Not how much revenue the government raised from it.
Been wondering that myself since it seems that this also happens with the login screen.

>Any professional python developer will know this, but when an adventuring friend calls me to help him debug something, with code modeled on what he’s seen in examples like these, I’ll likely just throw my hands up.

A professional python developer would also know the difference between code written for exposition purposes, code written to validate an idea, and code written for production use. They are not identical, and should not be. The concerns and aims of each code are different and they optimize for different things, and that is reflected in the coding style.

Edit: changing the login method to "Name and password" under login options, then logout and login with "root" with empty password also works.

Fortunately, it doesn't work on cold boot with FileVault enabled, at least it doesn't appear so. `sudo su root` also doesn't work with an empty password.

> Just because they can't be discharged in bankruptcy doesn't they're actually repaid.

Exactly. So instead that’s an albatross to be hung around a young person’s neck for all of eternity. Bankruptcy would share the burden between lender and borrower.

What we have now is a system where loans are Federally guaranteed and then not dischargeable through bankruptcy. That leads to $100k cooking schools that promise to turn you into a pro-chef, just sign here, here and here and you can even get a Federally guaranteed loan, sign here.

My wife's a teacher. ~1/2 of the kids around here have smartphones by 2nd or 3rd grade, all but the children of "weirdos" (maybe 2-3%) have them by 5th. The schools don't make them leave them at home anymore like they did back when regular ol' dumb phones started to show up in kids' possession. Sometimes kids will be texting during class and it's their friggin' parents they're texting, as in, their parents contacted them during class. This is not as rare an occurrence as one might hope. Teachers can't confiscate them for practically any reason because most parents freak out if they do. No parental support for discipline basically = teachers can't do it (it's ineffective and a bigger headache than it's worth).

This at lower- to middle-middle class schools, not the rich ones. And we're deep in flyover country, not anywhere trendy.

Those issues are inherent to competition, not to the infrastructure. The ISPs shouldn't be deciding who gets to stay or go. Their infrastructure should be neutral, just as water pipes don't care if they're going to my house or to a giant industrial corporation that has a stronghold over the steel industry.

I think my example is bad. I'll try a slightly better one: My water pipes don't care if they go to my ABC brand dishwasher or another.
This is deeply troubling. How does this even happen?
Linux != Ubuntu

Linux didn't have that problem, a single vendor did. You could say the same for Apple except they are the single vendor. That stupid security trick in Ubuntu only impacts subset of a subset of Linux _desktop_ users which is a pretty small subset of computer users as a whole. When Apple does something like this, it impacts a much larger share of the world population.

So how about we keep the snark to an appropriate level based on the impact to the world population? ;)
Don’t know what it’s like on the “receiving end” but in my state when I notify CPS it’s a very, very involved process that usually takes at least an hour. You can do it by phone or internet form and both require extensive information about the child, parents, family members, address, etc. It’s definitely not something you can just do because you don’t like your neighbors and want them arrested in five minutes.

Apple makes it pretty easy to report vulnerabilities to:

product-security@apple.com

They also respond to security@apple.com but prefer the product-security address.

Further, there are any number of legit bug bounty programs out there like ZDI that would pay for a bug like this then immediately disclose to Apple for it to be fixed.

Disclosing an 0Day root authentication bypass vulnerability on Twitter isn't cool, even if it is local: think of the impact to shared iMacs on university campuses.

> Also, why in "pre-2015 internet days" did we have zero competition / innovation in the ISP space?

Because the Bush FCC repealed line-sharing requirements when they moved dial-up and from Title II to Title I back in 2005.

This means entrance into the ISP space is prohibitively expensive as you must build your network to get any client (huge initial/capital costs), which combined with the power of the incumbents mean no investor will be foolish enough to front the tens or hundreds of millions required to even step into the field.

Which is why most of the attempted competition is from public spaces (municipal broadband) which incumbent telcos and conservative organisations[0] heavily lobby against.

> If you apply the same argument there, that pre-2015 wasn't any different so Title II isn't a big deal, then why can't we just keep it?

Because the reclassification was the result of courts deciding the FCC could not actually enforce its net neutrality regulations under Title I in 2015. "pre-2015" was literally struck down by court order after Verizon sued the FCC.

[0] ALEC is one of the leading opponents to municipal broadband though by no means the only one, and "red" states lead the way in restricting or banning it
If there's a universal thing to derive from this great article, it's:

"The point is, most of these ideas are simple and obvious in hindsight, but I had to make a lot of mistakes to find them. It's nearly impossible to coalesce good design decisions straight from the ether. The only reliable method is iteration and trial and error."
I don't like his argument.

I think we should regulate ISPS,DNS providers, Social media, and other parts of the Internet Ecosystem to be neutral.

Though I agree full with Pai's statement:

“what I know is not the right answer is that a cabal of ten tech executives with names like Matthew, Mark, Jack, . . . Jeff are the ones choosing what content goes online and what content doesn’t go online.”

I don't like this will be used probably successfully as a wedge to destroy net neutrality.

Another guess: More time with parents might correlate to less time with other family members. Grandparents and other immediate family are working and living longer which means parents don't have free childcare and do it themselves.

What does playing in the browser get you when you need to download 100MB+? You use the browser to get access to the standard features and DOM, if you ditch all that, add in a huge upfront download cost, then you might as well just install. There are plenty of cross-platform ways to do it these days. Additionally, browser games have an air (fair or not) about them of cheapness.

Then again, I'd be really happy if someone proved me wrong, and significant webgames became a thing. And it is a great exercise to analyze why webgames are bigger.

The infinite city is "just" tying a location to a randomly chosen and oriented set of objects. All the rest is standard scene graph rendering pipeline. The city shader does that for each "pixel" in the scene, and takes much less data to get a far cooler effect. Imagine coming up with an algorithm that picks a random lego object (a car, a police station, a boulder, etc) for each inch on your floor. That's infinicity. Now imagine picking a single lego piece based on your location and direction you are looking, and having that always match up even if you move, and when doing so, the resultant "legoscape" is a cool city. That's the city shader.

Sorta.
