I see it as constantly in evaluation and needs to consider the child's and parent's situation, so wouldn't presume a one size fits all approach. As they age and friend groups change so will our strategy. I am going to be toug

Playground peer pressure can be relatively tough enough to upset kids.

My children are still very young but got pressure to be playing the popular games in primary school, at age 8. At break time/recess some of the kids play games based on Brawl Stars & Zooba and if you don't play those then you&

I despair of these dark, addictive patterns . I vet games for my children and I long for the days of simply buying a game and that was it. Now there's a confusing barrage of points, coins, gems, crates, etc... that not only make the ga

Just one of several good reasons why it's inaccurate to think that if you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear from the authorities.

I was also going to mention that confidence is a powerful predicter/cause of success & promotion, more so than any skills behind that confidence. Anecdotally, I've noticed people are much more successful in work & personal

Hearing "Exclusively on Spotify" on any podcast ad is a sure-fire way to make sure I never listen to an episode. One of the great features of podcasts is the flexibility in listening platform and I'd really rather not switch

That's due to ACA, which is only about 7 years old and has an uncertain future. The cancer survival rates are a few percentage points better in the US than many other countries, but this is not uniform and still depends upon your level

This is somewhat of a straw man fallacy often cited by proponents of profit centric healthcare. In reality it happens relatively rarely and is usually linked to the effectiveness of that treatment. In the UK, a typical example of state prov

It's good customer service on one hand, terrible customer service on the other hand, in that there should be ways to prevent this from happening in the first place. Waiving charges for those who beg forgiveness reduces the number of pu

Headline is hyperbolic as the article itself states crypto usage in Cuba is on par with other countries, about 2.5%. There may be some variance in use cases and good future potential in Cuba but it's certainly not yet an active "r

I didn’t intend to slight your work, so apologies if my comment came across too harsh. My concern is with no-code in general, which I think is a great toolset for some use cases but can quickly become too complex to handle. I’ve seen non-pr

That’s not what they said. They’re just pointing out that statements do not always hold true over time and history tells us that a Facebook division might not be the best at holding promises. They also did not mention iMessage. There are se

I would define no code & WYSIWYG as different things. No code includes deeper, server side functionality; whereas WYSIWYG for HTML is simple page editing. Even the Javascript based actions an editor provides are only client side.

One of the problems with examples like this is that it gives an unrealistic expectation to non-technical people that large & complex sites are actually quite basic. There is a lot of functionality that a typical user never sees and is o

I think these benefits are probably less surprising for many people after lockdowns & social distancing almost completely removed such interactions from our daily lives. This is also something that those of us who work from home will mi

It's true that this approach limits variance of reasonable opinion to within the Overton window (plus a bit or radical thinking either side). That is pretty much how society functions anyway. The window moves slowly but does get moved

I admire your optimism for the marketplace of ideas but ultimately fear it bears little relation to reality. Not only are humans are terrible at making objective & rational choices but the marketplace itself is far from fair and balance

Not looking for 100% consensus but it seems that we're barely just at majority consensus for the idea of anthropomorphic climate change and definitely not a majority consensus when it comes to potential solutions. There is a parallel h

The problem with that approach is that social networks are where people are getting educated. For large numbers of people, social media is their gateway to other sources of information, including news, opinion & their interests. > Th

This depends upon the size & complexity of your monolith & how your development teams work. Essentially it's a trade off about which becomes most work and causes most issues.

As with many things, the perception of BLM, and associated fear, is based on how the media portrays it and what they give attention to. People living in fear of BLM mostly have that false fear instilled in them by the media, especially the

This sounds impractical and also skews development focus to features of a product that relate to short term revenue gains, not necessarily long term & customer focused improvements. For example, I think SaaS products & subscriptions

Most clothes are complex items and the manufacture of them is very unlikely to ever be fully automated within a reasonable time frame (such as our lifetimes). People will always be a part of the process. Many tasks are just too expensive to

Same here in Europe. That's probably a good thing for them as it looks very US focused for now (as many products are), so providing a lesser service to users outside their currently active markets prevents bad user experience & bad

No, sounds terrible, especially if they can't even call 911 remotely. From the article: "You don’t startle someone with an assault rifle. ... There’s a reason why the silent alarm is silent at banks and other businesses."
