Nobodies blaming the victim - that was the assertion of the problem by you. If you have children you can't support, don't blame society that you're having trouble supporting them. It's callous maybe, but remember the vi

Society plays a role, but like raising a dog, it's on the parents to socialize them and teach them how to interface with it safely. Society cannot progress if the adults have to live in a child safe box. There must be places safe for

It however requires no evidence to suggest that the problem is having children without sufficient time and resources to support them will lead to poor outcomes. If you want to protect your children, you have to be able to take those steps,

To be clear, I agree with you in principal - I think unsupervised children on the internet is a horrible idea, I just draw the line short of legislating that. I'm not looking forward to when mine are old enough to realistically need to

Once we're at teenagers, then it's still - did you raise them to be aware of the world around them? Did you give them the tools to evaluate safe and unsafe online activity? A kid doesn't accidentally end up addicted heroin u

It is 100% the parents responsibility to have an active enough role in their Child's life to know who they're interacting with and to provide appropriate supervision. If your child is getting addicted to something, it's beca

It will entirely on you two. In my first marriage, we were both high-earners, everything was joint. We were high enough earners and neither spendthrift, so there weren't any needed discussions on spending/budgeting, and having &

Part of me wonders if this is the natural outcome of things. The world gets faster, so we're more efficient, now we have more memory and time in a datacenter, let's do it on our servers so we can charge a monthly fee! That work

You hear about the coincidences that work out, you're unlikely to hear about the pilot who was a professional glider who landed his regular flight at Dulles. Thousands of planes in the air every day, that one with engine failure has a

At room temperatures, the +32 is significant, at cooking temperatures, who's oven is even accurate to 16/32 degrees? It depends on if knowing the "right" answer is more important than knowing an answer that will get you

Encoding is largely super-linear for a single stream, so you just need enough cores for the intake * formats. Streaming is mostly chunking and a smart player that loads the right chunks at the right time. Storage is bottom dollar, use wha

You mean unregulated hotels and on-demand taxis? Uber is no longer subsidized (or even cheap) in most places, it's just an app for summoning taxis and overpriced snacks. AirBnB is underregulated housing for nomads at this point. Your

I don't think this was wheel-spinning so much as yarn-pulling, finding interesting tid-bits and seeing where they go. The most interesting things (to me) are when something doesn't quite line up with expectations, and then diggin

I think microsoft released one the other day about securing directory servers... But yeah this is a neat concept, but a lot of the tech is very AWS specific - probably still fun to try even without much AWS heavy - they look like they&#x27

Mostly this - McKinsey isn't hired to bring in a unique perspective, they're hired to paper up a decision that the person hiring McKinsey wants to make. They charge a pound of flesh and give you a pile of research saying this is

Don't worry, the market corrects - what's the market price on Galapagos turtle soup or dodo omelettes? Others are right - the matter is neither created nor destroyed, but you are also right, that form is/was unique, and it is

That's the thing though, you almost certainly at the time expected people to use it, and then a decade passed and nobody showed up. The problem isn't that you did it, the problem isn't that they used the information, it&#x27

Yes. Employing others to produce more than you pay them is fundamentally how business works. Doing so successfully is indeed linked to wealth. Further research into the wetness of water needed, but I'm sure these crack researchers ca

oddly, it's because whatsapp has a well integrated keyserver so there's never an issue of not knowing which key to use. Weird.

They published it with an precise link to their email address - what were people supposed to conclude from them publishing it - "never use this pgp key unless you've spoken to me in person?" - that... kinda defeats the whole

Someone generated a public key and caused it to be held by a keyserver by validating it. One would think the onus is on them to limit the validity of what they want the key used for, not a presupposition that only certain unknown bits of d

Email encryption _is_ end-to-end encryption. You just explained why the law doesn't apply to what they did, and the parent explained why they didn't do it because of the law. These two are not in conflict.

I don't think buying a car or house qualifies as an emergency. Having access to one might be, but your emergency fund generally shouldn't be "buy a spare house" large - that's what insurance is for.
