Services like operating the walkway and the tugs that push-back the plane from the gate are often outsourced. Perhaps that's the connection... in most of the cases where the people did a terrible job, it's because the role's been outsourced.
It will make it a lot harder. Right now governments have backdoors in apps like Skype, and all Skype's traffic is now routed through Microsoft's servers.

With WebRTC governments would have to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, which is pretty damn hard for P2P-style connections.
That's assuming the clients are not compromised, hardware is not compromized, and "whatever protocol" is not susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Doesn't want to be better but more generative, so quicker first app results. Idea is to add many rails-alike helpers like pagination, observation, etc...

I say not black and white b/c as a parent I would have taken extra precautions. The cell phone being a notable one. Also, some written instructions to give to people (police, security etc) in case of emergency is just another that comes to mind.

Even so, you're right. It should be like 99% United, 1% parents.

I totally agree. Perl is one language that takes testing quite seriously. Just installing some CPAN modules and seeing the numerous tests run gives you a hard on (I mean, a hardened server)

We were lucky enough that one of the first interventions we ever tried for him besides OT basically cured him. I can tell you that many, many parent in the online communities we're members of will tell you the "talked after MB12 shot" story.

So, no action we took was on the basis of a comprehensive and wide-ranging scientific study of studies... rather finding a D.A.N. doctor who knew just what to do.

What tipped the balance was that this is one of the least interventive things possible. Really THE least. Everything he takes can be had over the counter. We did it blind at the time because I had no clue about 677T and only found about it later.

To honestly answer your question, as I mentioned below, I'm getting the feeling (again, armchair, lay person only, but been living in communities real and online for a few years now) that autism is an overly or perhaps entirely umbrella term that's really capturing a number of diseases with similar pathologies. One of which would be 677T/1298C mutation, specifically homozygous or compound hetero. The good news is that it seems easy to treat.

I know not every autistic kid out there has the same root cause, but being the parent of one, and going to his (old) school, and seeing so many poor beautiful kids impacted that it just crushes my heart to pieces, and their poor parents trying so hard to fight through it all and get them help... I really have no choice but to be an advocate for getting your kid screened. It's a simple blood draw, find out their 677 and 1298 status. And if they're anything, even heterozygous, immediately get them on MB12/L5MTHF.

I fear for other parents, esp. those of vax injured kids, the road could be much harder, with chelation possibly being necessary etc (which is obiously fairly interventive and HIGHLY controversial). But if there's any chance that part of the solution could be such a low hanging fruit, I have to get the word out as much as I can.

Honestly, the article seems rather pointless to me. The kind of people who don't know what a bootloader is should probably not be using Arch Linux or Slackware. Not to mention that at least Arch Linux has a far more detailed and better official documentation, so experienced users who like to try out Arch would probably be much happier with that.
I don't think Gruber would ever claim that he's a journalist. Nor that he's in the business to break stories.

He brings a certain wit, and skill at writing, to observe all things Apple. His article are traditionally read by those who love the platform - it's unclear to me why people who aren't enthusiasts for the Apple platform would read his blog - as that is the audience his articles are targeted at.

Back when he started 10 years ago, he was writing about the Apple-the-underdog, and there was a certain quixotic element to his articles. Nowadays, with Apple being the 2-ton beast that it is, that sense of rooting for the challenger has gone, and with it a bit of the ideological purity that comes with being a member of the downtrodden class.

I for one, appreciated the longer essay that he wrote on the MacBook Pro. I think his essays are his greatest strength, wish he did more of them.

It sucks to say this but in the US if you're male, the smart/safe thing to do is not have any contact with an unaccompanied child at all. There is a non-trivial chance that may be misconstrued as something else and you could find yourself in a whole world of trouble. Of course this should not stop someone from bringing a distressed child to the attention of the flight crew and other passengers.

Though it isn't worth much, I'd like to put my two cents in as a student currently going through high school.

In the district in which I'm partaking in public education, there's a dead even split between contemporary and traditional math courses. Our school offers both the Core-Plus Mathematics Project (http://wmich.edu/cpmp/) and some variation of what I'd consider traditional (Geometry 1, 2, Algebra 1, 2, etc.).

The students more often than not will prefer the Core-Plus Mathematics Project over the traditional courses early on in their education - but once the math switches over to a primarily calculating class (take, for instance, Calculus), the opinions shift and favor the other one.

What we honestly have in my district is a case of a system that's trying to split itself down the middle politically - as we're attempting to switch to a modern, context driven approach to mathematics, whilst maintaining the link to processes like Advanced Placement, which only judge on the traditional aspects (http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_calab.htm...).

While it might be a better route for the future, the present is demanding math to be calculation based for the near future. It'll only start switching into a better realm when colleges and pre-college programs like those offered by CollegeBoard make the switch to context-based systems, rather than calculation based ones.

(I'm very well aware of how rambling that is, sorry!)

This is a problem bigger than United -- which has a lot of problems. This is what you get when you subsidize bad companies that need to fail. United needs to fail so someone better can take over. The moral hazards are ruining the country.

I saw it recently with farmers struggling from the drought. Compare this farmer: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7417774n who has acres full of hay that don't do well in the drought to this farmer who planted a solid base of drought tolerant sorghum http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7417664n in addition to his corn. The second farmer is diversified. He's making smarter decisions with his farm, but because he wasn't hit as hard as other farmers who aren't making good decisions with their land, he's not going to get as much compensation for failed crops. That first farmer needs to go to work for the second farmer so he can learn better and more profitable methods of farming and we will all benefit -- including him. Watch the two farmers. Look how worn out the first one is compared to the second one. The first farmer is working harder the second farmer is working smarter. We need to reward that.

The same thing with United. United Airlines was the largest recipient of cash grants from the US after 9/11, getting $774.2 Million [1]. If the US hadn't kept United alive over the past 10 years so an Airline that cares could fill the void, this little child may not have been left stranded at the airport by a company full of employees who don't need to care.

United is clearly very wrong here and treating their customers poorly. But, and I'm sure this is going to be an unpopular opinion, who sends a 10 year old across the country on a plane alone? I wouldn't send a 10 year on a 30min bus ride alone. I understand United offers a service to make this possible but it seems like a ridiculous thing for a parent to take advantage of. Maybe it's a cultural difference and this is common in the US (is it?) but I don't know anyone who would even consider doing it.

As someone who is dating a flight attendant, may I say: Please don't choke a flight attendant. They are absolutely the least culpable people involved with airline incompetence.

At least for Delta, flight attendants' primary compensation is based on scheduled flight time. Not actual flight time. Not tarmac time. Not delay time. Scheduled flight time. And even then, only with passengers!

So when you're stuck at the gate, waiting for some nincompoop to fetch the jet bridge, and you start giving the flight attendants hell, you need to understand that waiting there sucks for them too. They have only a few short hours to get a half night's sleep and enjoy the destination; the only perk that justifies their lifestyle. The rest of their job boils down to glorified waitress and underpaid babysitter.

If you think you've got a travel horror story, you ain't got nothing on a flight attendant. One night, my girlfriend's phone woke us up at 3 AM. She was on call and was needed immediately for a flight from Anchorage (we're in Seattle). It's about 40 minutes to the airport and this was a "short call", meaning she needed to be there in less than 2 hours! She and 5 of her co-workers, had to jump out of bed and haul ass to the airport where they boarded an empty flight to Anchorage. They were there to relieve a crew that didn't receive the legal minimum rest time due to a weather delay. While they were in the air, scheduling decided "fuck the FAA regulations" and put the overworked crew back on a plane anyway. So my girlfriend's crew arrives, finds that the flight they were supposed to work has already departed, and the pilot who brought them required a legal rest period. So they were required to spend the night in Alaska and take another empty flight home. It was the dead of winter, so it was far too cold to go anywhere outside the hotel. All in all, the crew received one days worth of per diem and no compensation for either flight, as they were "dead heading", which is unpaid. That per diem is fixed for "domestic" travel, so it's relative value varies by destination. It generally doesn't even cover the cost of meals in Alaska.

Fuck airlines.

> those users want to keep their money.

Well, no. Those users want a service. Nobody coerces anyone into giving App.Net money, so those paying users actually don't want to keep this amount of money, in exchange for the service.

> A free-based service, supported by advertisers, has tons of incentive to keep its users just as happy as a fee-based service.

But for that it has to show ads, and the business is then to show ads in the most efficient way possible, which has a number of consequences we can readily witness today.
One real gem from this article: "The collective test suite of the CPAN is the continuous integration test suite of the Perl 5 language itself."

All the tests written for all the Perl modules on CPAN are effectively also tests for Perl itself, because when a new Perl snapshot causes any test in any CPAN distribution to break, the Perl maintainers are automatically notified so they can fix it. That's pretty cool by itself, but it also speaks to the attitude that if a change in Perl 5 core breaks a test, by default this is a bug in Perl 5 core that must be fixed.

It's interesting that by taking this seemingly limiting attitude ("don't break working code"), you gain the ability to treat all the tests for code written in your language as tests for your language.

Do any other languages have something like this?

If I pay a LOT for something and get poor results, I'll be pretty critical.

If something is cheap I don't expect much of it.

If something is free, then my instinct is to focus on the cost of my time, which in many cases makes me demanding.

A perfect example of this would be Facebook. If it suddenly ate of my photos I would be furious because of all the time I'd spent tagging them. Similarly, I haven't really used Reddit since 2007 due to the fact that it once tricked me into wasting a lot of time writing comments that were invisible to everyone but me. Even thinking about it now I'm angry. Money is money, but time is the stuff my life is made of!

Agreed, what I missed from Perl when I moved to coding Ruby was the excellent testing support. Now Ruby's testing has improved a lot since then, but I believe the Perl testing culture to still be superior.
This is a very interesting phenomenon.

The winning move was not to become the Ideal Male Seen On Magazines, but instead to grow into my identity.

Sounds like you've traded one mythology for another. I doubt there was any "identity" that you pin-pointed, decided you wanted to grow into, and worked toward growing into. Rather, I think that "to grow into my identity" here means "to grow into that which I will grow into", making it self-fulfilling.

Evolution gave us pain and suffering; indeed we shouldn't glorify it. But we should also not glorify the way things are as the way things should be. Can we all please deal with our insecurities in some other way than by making up a story saying it's all okay? The world is on fire. All is not okay.
To be fair, the author does mention that people who are new are better off trying Ubuntu. And I found that Arch linux is a great distro to try and understand Linux in the process because of its excellent documentation. Currently, the arch linux lacks ncurses-based installer, but when this article was written, it was fairly easy to install arch.
Couldn't lower pricing be seen as marketing? For example to sell in to companies that are now poor, but could be successful and profitable later. If they can't afford SD and pick something else, how likely is it they'll switch to SD later?

> who sends a 10 year old across the country on a plane alone? I wouldn't send a 10 year on a 30min bus ride alone.

Wow. Overprotective much? At 10 I went to school by bus, alone, with 2 or 3 changes along the way (and a ~10 minutes walk between home and the bus station), total travel time was maybe 45~60mn and same thing the other way around in the evening. And I had friends boarding who took the train at the beginning and end of the week, same age, hours of travel on their own.

> Maybe it's a cultural difference and this is common in the US (is it?)

I'm not in the US, and I'd definitely consider that fine. Taking the plane is probably less common around here but considering the plane culture of the US I don't see any issue with it.

> I understand United offers a service to make this possible but it seems like a ridiculous thing for a parent to take advantage of.

1. No it's not, the whole point of the service is to use it.

2. I'm pretty sure United created the service because parents were already sending children across the country by plane alone, that's not a rare occurrence. Most children of 8 or 10 are reasonably bright and can actually take care of themselves reasonably well unless you spent 10 years making them completely dependent.
