excellent point. When all you have is a hammer everything becomes a nail. Homes are already pre-fabricated to the largest possible extent. Just printing walls out of concrete that won't even have great surface properties is a curiosity

from the rocket perspective, sure, but not so much from the perspective of your cargo. In many cases the cargo is more precious than the rocket so you need reliable rockets.

Sure there are trade offs, and your position is understandable. Self reliance and freedom are important but I don't see the value in not being able to call for help when help is needed. As a parent you can still make the decision to no

My kids spend a lit if time outside, riding bikes running around the forest... If they have an accident it's useful to be able to get to them quickly. Please spare me a response about the qualities of facing adversity and walking home

It would have helped because I was walking home from my music lessons. My dad was supposed to pick me up but he was late. This was before cell phones were widely available and I was about 10 years old. Predators don't just snatch you u

The choice on how to act when your child is in trouble is still yours. It's very obvious to me that a lot of people engaging here don't have children. There is a lot of idealistic posturing. Do you really think a child takes devel

I am speaking from experience as a father of two. The watch teaches the kids to reach out when they feel overwhelmed. They are fully in control of their own destiny. They don't always end up where they planned they were going and that

I grew up in europe, and I had two instances where I came close to being abducted as a kid. You are naive if you think parents are overreacting. once you become the statistic the statistic is meaningless to you

What are you smoking? No choice is removed from anyone. Survival is the primary objective, what do you think it is? Limiting electronic device usage?

false dichotomy, as a parent I alone cannot ban guns, but the little things I can do to assure my child can reach me when needed I will do.

I am happy for you, I am sure the sane logic could be applied to get rid of car and home insurance

no freedom is removed from the child. It's a failsafe they can chose to contact the parents when they feel overwhelmed and then the decision from the parent can still be made to not help. If anything children will be given more latitud

Parents have a lot to contend with as it is. Making live easier by preventing the temporary loss of a child and the anxiety for both parties is a benefit. If anything this gives kids more freedom, anyone not understand this should have a se

I think what we need to remember is that there are two issues with your ststement. 1. Companies need consumers to sell to. If no one earns enough money to buy then the companies gave a problem. 2. If people cannot feed themself from working

The issue is simply companies taking advantage of people. We like to call it the market, but the market only works when there is a balance. I am simply advocating for a balancing force. Government or Unions usually fill this role. I would e

it's not how it works if there is a monopoly. E.g amazon is the only employer. I think this is where the local and federal governments should step in. If someone is working for 40 hours and needs foods stamps then the companies should

Boeing does not exist in isolation. There are many other companies in the labor market. What I am referring to is a well understood dynamic. It's unclear to me what your counter point is here.

Your response neglects simple facts. You are missing that certain vocations are not as popular to women as they are to men. I doubt this is inherently an issue with the education systems. I think what corporate America has been focusing on

Counter point. My CS program had a class specifically for low level programming that required massive amounts of debugging C code using GDB. That same program also required students to take an OS class in C where the knowledge from the low

Check if your electricity provider offers a renewable energy plan. My electricity provider does and it adds about $15 per month.

maybe the affordability issue where people need more than one job in the US is showing up here.

I grew up in Europe and it's not a European mentality issue. There are very serious social issues at play here. Geographic proximity makes Europe a prime destination for all the people who don't have the means to immigrate to the

The US and Europe are very different in terms of actual immigration in terms of population. The US has immigrants from many different nations and cultures that actually are less stratified. Europe on the other hand has a more homogeneous im

I don't disagree but I think what we tend to forget is thst children mimic their parents. I've noticed that my kids will go outside more when I walk the dog more. They either join me or go outside on their own. The same applied wh

the benefit of the cloud is the elasticity. People neglect sometimes that businesses had to scale their infrastructure to peak demand before the cloud. If your workloads don't have peaks it's an easy problem to solve.

Only considering market forces and saying the market will fix itself is a shortsighted argument. We live in a society and the market does not factor in societal impacts in terms of the "greatest good". Markets need a balancing cou

I would be interested to hear how you ended up with that conclusion, especially if it has any factual foundation.

It is interesting that parents are not granted the autonomy to make these decisions by the law. If the police have such a great concern about the safety in the neighborhood to the degree that children can't be outside someone has faile

Someone showed a picture in an educational context with no intent of harming but to educate and lost their job because of it. People seem to be losing all sense of being reasonable in their response to things they or someone else find &quo
