You are right! Yet I would love to be persuaded given there are obvious merits to children. Right now I am more in line with the sentiments of other comments.

I fail to grasp the idea of the article. Apparently parents treat their children differently. Not only between sons and daughters, but also among siblings. What are the benefits of treating them equally? And should we do so anyway? On one h

About the Travelsentry locks, what happen if someone from the airport open your luggage, and tamper with the content? How can one be sure that the content their luggage has not been tampered with? I assume the answer is no but would love to

I once read about Pieter Hintjens' model oriented programming [1] which the idea I have yet to understand. Hope someone can provide more insight on this subject. HN discussion [2] [1] https://github.com/imatix/gsl

On concatenative languages, I would like to add Piet[1] as a contender. Plus Piet program could look like 8-bit art (to me). [1] http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html

I don't quite get how cloudflare do authentication. Is it just a diffie-hellman key exchange? And CF to generate millions of public-private key pairs like the good old CAs? What happens to devices with extremely limited storage space a

I total agree with the sentiment. I stopped using facebook for about 3 years. It was almost instantly obvious how much time was wasted on people's whining, fake news and dog photos. It is easier to do when it only affects yourself. How

Reminds me sometime ago there was a post on HN from the author of shadowsock[1] about being prosecuted/arrested by chinese authority. Maybe one day one could be arrested by making keyboards or phone screen. Who knows [1] shadowsocks.or

This article resembles two different ways of designing protocols. In tcp [0], information are encoded in position, e.g. the first 16 bits are for source port and the next 16 bits are for dst ports. While in, say, FIX [1], information are en

Great app! Just a nitpick. Seems like China, Hong Kong and Taiwan all have "Chinese" selected. Where the dropdown menu in the freeplay page does have "Chinese Hong Kong" (or is it Cantonese?) provided.

I wonder if adversarial examples can be deliberately used as a kind of steganography? Kind of like a hidden QR code. On the surface, the product looks a panda, with deliberately added signal. Under the hood, it is classified as gibbon. It c

Facebook is comparable to opium in the 18-19th century. Dictated by powerful organization, some considered it harmful but most considered it normal, addictive in nature, and people consuming it wastes precious time. In no way I am saying fa

Thanks for your suggestion. I misunderstood the meaning of filter in the article. I was thinking about the realtime effect as in Mac's photo booth.

Does darkpatterns.org support api query? There ought to be one available so that various tools can be built. For instance, a browser plugin to warn users upon visiting dark pattern websites
