Well, the boy is indeed very naughty. But his behaviour or temperament is very likely to be caused by the environment he is livening in (ie. his family and social background).
One obvious inappropriate thing his mom has done is that the mom chooses to threaten the son when he did anything wrong. Threatening only creates fear. And fear is no good, because it will most likely make the son more rebellious. An alternative would be love and care. To have a deep talk with the son, to find out what the root cause of his rebellious reaction is and to help the son cope with the society better may be a bette method. When America has an alarmingly high psychiatric problem rate, it is clear that most of them are not caused by genetics, meaning, they can be changed for good.
Surely, the mom has tried to talk to the son. But the depth of the talk is questionable, simply because when the mom finds it urgent to have a serious conversation with the son, the son may have already developed a distrust against the mom, and the talk can be very difficult.
When the mom gives up to call the police, even the 13-year old son may yet to have a serious mental problem, he will develop one.

At least with RTF, that seems to be functionality that is generally missing from UIKit. HTML parsing, on the other hand, is already there in WebKit.

The sense I get is that Apple didn't really know what they were doing when they first released the iPhone, didn't actually intend to release an API for it (after all, the initial message to developers was "just build an HTML 5 app") and then rushed one out without properly thinking through its design. And I guess they've been filling the gaps ever sense.
Pay your dues
Since you asked:

I'd suggest removing all the 'complicated' layering effect and transparencies. Even hovers over the year links are creating transparencies on the article text. Just leave the article text area 100% opaque, lighten the background to improve contrast. I want to read easily and not off a weave basket.

There is a tad too much variation/combo of the colors used. You have red and grey (which is good) but you have a gazillion shades of it (not good) and you have them alternating roles, ie: red text, red box, grey text, grey box, dark grey text, dark grey box - tighten your color usage. Since your colors usage are everywhere, there's no accent color. (Like I can't tell which color is used to declare text links since all text colors can be text links)

The red is a very strong color - and since author box is in red, it's competing with the article for attention (the article should be the main focus. But it doesn't mean you should make the article box red.)

Move Date under Year (navigation) or move the year next to date - don't make the readers' eyes/brain work, trying to correlate the 2.

Don't show links that aren't clickable and will never have content. ie: Year 1999 etc. Just start from 2005.

Overall the page is super busy with its big range of color shades, layering with transparencies and confusing visual hierarchy/navigation.
What I am saying is that mental illness is not the fundamental issue of the case. Somebody going mental with a nerf gun just isn't the same sort of problem. At all.

Not that mental illness isn't also a problem.

...and I remember a third of the Z80 machine code space. It was in octal - 2-bit operation, 3-bit destination,, 3-bit source. Registers were numbered b,c,d,e,h,l,m,a. So 377 would be move a,a which was a noop.

'm' was 'indirect thru h:l' so it did a 16-bit address fetch or store.
I don't personally know of programs that are designed to turn out straight-up programmers. Some CS programs dial pretty far over that way, but they still retain the CS-ness.

There are software engineering degrees, but I don't personally have a high opinion of academic software engineering research & practice, so I personally don't recommend them.
You're right: automatic weapons are regulated in the US (but I did not claim otherwise) and they have indeed never been used in a school shooting (I misspoke; I meant semi-automatic weapons, not machine-guns).

But my point is that if you make weapons difficult to buy and difficult to own, then they are less likely to be used by crazy people to do harm. The situation about machine-guns verifies this.

What's more

- school shootings, including this last one, most often use "semi-automatic" weapons (because that's the most efficient weapon that's easily available)

- the number of fatalities is a direct consequence of the efficiency of the weapons used

See this Slate article "The faster the weapon, the higher the body count." http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/human_nature...

Well, the romantic relationships you have in middle/high school are quite different from the ones you cultivate in college and later in life; my point referred more to the latter.
In my opinion, this is the correct way to think about the problem, but you should go deeper, and keep in mind that cultural traits aren't solely good or solely bad - they might be both good and bad, like a prescription medication with side-effects.

Elsewhere in this thread I wondered if American dynamism and individualism produces individuals both great and vile - and that America tempered the 'vile' segment with moral education and community ties that's since gone on the decline. That's my culturally-based theory, but I'm sure we can find other plausible ones as well.
Hand writing is a big thing here in India. And generally many super intelligent kids lose out to mug pots because of hand writing.

Coming to my case, I consider any one who boasts about great hand writing a loser.

The moment I stopped writing exams I started giving a damn about hand writing. Hand writing improvement initiatives were the biggest things I hated in school. It was a exercise in futility.

Looking back I feel like somebody was forcing a back end engineer into learning HTML.
"I am in therapy for 7 years now and it is not going anywhere."

Reading some of the comments in this thread there seems to be several people that have illustrated "startup induced depression".

I think pursuing your dreams ("and not living someone elses life") is great but people should be aware of the downside especially if (as this poster is) they don't have the resilience to deal with the ups and downs of what really amounts to a gamble. Something encouraged by others (and you know who you are) that don't have to suffer the agony of defeat.

Definitely not as much.

In my experience, people in the US in their 20s (both during and post university) tend to be more in the mindset "I want a relationship" (and they're actively looking for one, using dating sites, personal networks, etc.) or "I don't want a relationship" (in which case they actively avoid it); whereas in France and European countries, people tend to be more neutral by default and then hop into a relationship when the right person comes along.

Those are just my observations though- they could well be skewed.
While I believe that everyone has controversial views. Do you think god exists? Do you think there should be more gun ownership? Or less? Do you think abortion should be banned? Only available for a few cases. Up to the mother to decide? But only until the third trimester?

Should there be public drinking of beer? Public nudity? Public urination? Public displays of affection?

Should women always have their heads covered while in public? What about men? Should we ban male circumcision until the male is old enough to make the decision for himself? Should we have the draft? What about mandatory civil service?

Do you believe in mandatory bussing? Separate but equal? Co-ed schools or sex segregated schools? State income tax or not? Legalized gambling? What if it's only controlled by the state? Should alcohol sales only be done by the state, or can any place sell vodka? What about beer? Should alcohol sales be prohibited within a certain distance of schools? Are exceptions allowed?

Do vaccines cause autism? Was the Earth created less than 10,000 years ago? Can you petition the Lord with prayer? Is the Pope God's representative on Earth, or the anti-Christ? Should non-believers be taxed at a higher rate than believers?

Should I go on? All of these are controversial. If you have views one way or the other, then your views will be controversial at least to some, if not to most. And if you have no views on a topic then that itself can be controversial. As the morbid joke goes, during the height of the Troubles in Ireland: "yes, but are you a Catholic Jew or a Protestant Jew"?

If everyone has controversial views, then of course they are precondition for being a visionary. They are also a precondition for not being a visionary. Name one famous (so I have a chance of knowing something about that person) non-visionary who did not have controversial views.

But first, name a controversial view of the founder of Lego ... who is definitely described as a visionary.
Mistercrow asked the question above -I'll ask it here: Why do you think it won't repeat?

To my knowledge no other modern society has had a birthrate drop like this - to below this radically replacement and has then stabilized the birthrate at the replacement rate (or above). This really could be free fall...
I think the literature disagrees with you.

Copyright trolls, biz scum, freetards - it's NOT black and white
The purpose of a captcha (as flawed as the concept may be) is to filter out spam (comments etc.)

The idea behind a traditional captcha is to present a task that is easy for a human to solve (ha-ha) but hard for a computer.

As far as I can tell, your method does not rely on this principle. Which means that you use some machine-readable scheme that relies on obfuscation to provide this function.

While that method may work individually, it does stop working as soon as your method gains any kind of traction, because then spammer will target exactly your scheme and any advantage is null, void and gone.

"The Petreus incident is sort of crazy for this reason. Here is the head of the CIA, doesn't even use PGP."

He's just a bureaucrat, hired after retiring as an Army general. I seriously doubt if he had any personal spy craft training beyond "use this secure computer and this secure phone when you're working on company business, sir. And don't talk about Fight Club."
Lack of database design and normalization
Hey.

A friend of mine did the same four years ago. Well, not exactly the same. He opened (with three friends) a Stephen King store. Only Stephen King's books. We are from Buenos Aires, Argentina, so he sells Spanish and English editions, an also collectors and rare editions.

He didn't get a personalized layout, he just upload PrestaShop and change the logo on the default template. He is doing really well. He invest in ads (Facebooks Ads, mainyl) and now he is selling a lot (I think 1000 USD per week).

I think if people know your website, you can do an specialized online book store. But you need to get known.

I watched a Japanese program where the government claimed in the year 3000 the population of Japan would be ....

7 people.

Obviously I don't think it would actually get there but that is the current rate if nothing else changes (or rate at the time the program was aired)

The segment ended with a tongue in cheek admonition to make a baby tonight for Japan :)

I thought the article was fine. I learned a few things.

I'm a developer that sometimes needs to tack a web interface on during the prototype phase. And I use Bootstrap. And I want it to look like Bootstrap. Should the time come for a designer, I'd hope the no frills approach would somewhat convey the desired usability of the app.

This article gave me a few tips - if only a no nonsense guide to using web fonts!
Well, doesn't really work out.. Example for python:

Pro #2: This language would be good for teaching children to write software

Contra #1: This language is unusually bad for beginners

Uhm.. ok.. so this shows how subjective it is to rate a programming language. It depends more on the individual and its own thinking process and experience then on hard facts.

> I think this was also one of the first applications that could qualify as an instant messaging tool

I would certainly consider IRC to be an instant messagig tool, and that has been around since around 1988, while the orginal PowWow seems to be from 1994, which would make it 6 years late to be first. The most well known networks like ICQ and MSN came some years later, so they were still early.
Only one. I think, simple shared hosting will be ok at launch, depending on your application. But most probably one will be enough at first.
Your premise is absurd. Microsoft has the ActiveSync protocol patented to hell and back, and charges exorbitant licensing fees for its use. They're currently suing Motorola (a Google subsidiary) over exactly this. So, how about directing your ire at Microsoft for choosing to both not support open standards, and abusing the patent system to prevent others from reasonably implementing their proprietary standards. Because, I don't see any reason to get pissed at Google for not letting Microsoft continue to soak them on this.
The problem with extrapolating like this is it's assuming many things are constant like birth rate which are not necessarily the case.

If you compare the birth and death rates they have only recently crossed, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bdrates_of_Japan_since_195... which means the value of land is increasing as more people compete for the same resources.

For example, as the population starts to decline housing will become cheaper which will reduce commuting times and debt. Which will make it much easier to start a family and should increase the birth rate. It also dramatically reduces the need for new infrastructure.
I think immigration is the best solution. There's no shortage of babies and young people in the world. The article notes that liberal immigration policies are not popular. Well, maybe that's the problem. I suspect that immigration will gain popularity when the problems caused by the ageing population become sufficiently severe. The problem will solve itself at the right time.
If you would make that to work and the site would not have a timelock or banning enabled, it would not be stopped.

The problem with spammers and crackers are not people like you, but rather the ones ho hammer sites using thousands of bots running behind proxies, which send raw POST data to the action url of the site's form. Even with CAPTCHA the bots are able to successfully send the POST data using OCR, which recognization rate varies from all around 10% to high as 80% depending on the CAPTCHA system used.

For this reason, even if your method would work it is lesser bad for the website owner.

Every solution has its weaknesses, but it is rather subjective which has the least of them.
It's not exactly a joke, there is a real petition https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/declare-flickr-api... but I think it's more to cause a PR problem for Yahoo than to actually have the government step in.
I really enjoyed 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. If you have not read it yet, the book starts with Eckhart's "I" and "myself" realization... very powerful stuff imo.

It's in audio book format too.

> She liked to go shooting? It's a lot of fun to do.

She liked to go shooting with a Glock?? And she needed to keep the gun (and ammunition) in her home?

It isn't true that "Americans have had ready access to guns throughout America's history"; talking about the "Second Amendment" makes it seem that nothing has changed since the 18th century, but the truth is the current situation started no earlier than the 1960s.

And about media reporting:

1/ Media reporting abroad is nothing compared to the US -- as with most news, big events are talked about a lot in the country of origin, and are just a topic among others in all other nations; right now the five first articles on the front page of Slate is about this, for example, whereas here in France, it's hardly a topic of conversation (it did make the front page of Le Monde on paper, but not on the web where all news are in a section called "Americas")

2/ Where things happen matter a lot. If it happens in a distant country it will not influence you the same way as if it happens in your own neighborhood (or somewhere perceived as such).
From the article: "Even more compromising, according to Grant, is the fact that Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Myers created the framework in their living room before doing any robust scientific research, rather than the other way around."

Any justification must be after the fact. I also love the section on how the closest "more-scientific" analog isn't gaining traction because it's possibly too negative. And open-source.

If you've been in therapy for 7 years, something tells me that you're unlikely to get the help you need by chatting to somebody anonymous here.

In Urdu we have a proverb it translates to English as - "Treat your teachers beating, as a garland you could receive in the future".

I agree corporal punishment is cruelty. But some minimal beating must be allowed to put things in order. My mom is a teacher, and back here in the past and to some extent now. Beating kids in school in India was the norm. She tells me many parents would come ask the teachers to not beat their kids, some would come and ask teachers to be ask strict as they can.

Its all in the ideology. But my mom says, on an average my mom says a kid who has been corrected by beating has gone to do a lot well than the ones that hasn't.

Haven't you heard of the proverb- "Spare the stick and spoil the child"

Some times you have to get strict.
As someone who has a pending pull request for Jekyll, I welcome this.
We're launching in January with a dedicated server (quad core, 32GB RAM) on which we have a single VPS (with only 8GB RAM) - this gives us plenty of options going further, either I can set up load balancing, add resources to the VPS, make more of them with distributed concerns (database, app, session...), etc. And with Hetzner, it's also very cost effective, like 60 euros per month.

Not sure that is the best way to go, but that's how we'll roll.
Gmm's popularity among econometricians isn't motivated by anything related to rational agents. GMM is popular in econometrics because it is a natural expression of IV estimators.

IV regressions aren't popular among statisticians or machine learnists, so this isn't an issue for them.

Even in structural econometrics (e.g. BLP), they are using moments to deal with endogeneity... the rationality angle is a red herring.

This is the opposite of a problem. Wether intentionally or not, Japan is showing the world the only way the whole _world_ can survive: by having less babies. To expect growth at a time of such overpopulation is cruel and hurtful to the entire human population.
