Lots of vague and specific scary things that parents think about. It comes down to limiting information to reduce the risk of information combining into something dangerous where the parts weren't dangerous by themselves. You have a picture

Limited autonomy of a four year old is good, but they need guidance and correction to know what to do with their autonomy. You're trying to grow an autonomous being, but you don't yet have one, and treating a kid as such can be as dangerous

I never made a conscious decision, but I mostly talked to my kid like he was a normal human being with all rights and privileges. Not to say I never went loony on him, but "normal" situations got normal conversation, with perhaps a bit more

OK, they better do something good. Even if it's an excellent standard, or reference implementation, that others can build on. But they just got handed a ton of good will ...

What are the different use cases? I would have thought they're both basically version control, since one of the decisions in version control is whether to use svn or git or something else. So what use cases are svn appropriate for (and not

Because that's appropriate for your intended audience?

I made a comment the other day about this being facebook's UX failure. This is a pretty damning illustration. How could they burden their users with something like this? Nothing but a maze of twisty little passages.

The NYT thinks people who read the NYT care about it. My opinion last week was firmly in your camp on the general population. Now I'm not so sure.

In the NYT Q&A linked from the article, VP Elliot Schrage gives a link to his profile and Zuckerberg's. Zuckerberg's is a good link. Schrage's is not found. Bad link, or item three for tomorrow's meeting? Edit: typo.

"... many privacy advocates want further changes involved with Facebook’s new social plugins, as many of them function when a user isn’t logged in ..." Wait, what? What plugins operate when I'm not logged in? What did I miss?

"Facebook has come under increasing scrutiny for a number of reasons and many were left with a sour taste in their mouth following a New York Times reader Q&A with Elliot Schrage, the company’s Vice President for Public Policy." Vice Pr

Because you think, through no longer valid experience or through misunderstanding, that you're only communicating with your friends. Email is a good example. You carry on a conversation about rectal surgery with email correspondents (maybe

I have this vague feeling that Sony is currently letting DOD know that Sony could actually produce units with Linux capability, to a spec, for a price.

"Nobody thinks it would be efficient to privatize the federal highway system and turn everything into a toll road." Different definitions of "efficiency" notwithstanding ... A privatized road doesn't have to be paid for by toll, that's mere

I was really most interested in the last sentence, which needed the text before it for context. Certainly systems tending toward economic freedom are more efficient at serving actual wants and needs. On the other hand I do like efficient

Pretending to have looked at a site, especially if the pretending is automated, is disrespectful, I agree. The Grand Finale was pretty weak though. I have no idea what ICE Webinar is, and whether it relates to the poster's business. That's

It's easy to tell you why: powerful and precise text manipulation through concise commands. It's difficult to make you value that until you've tried it. Vim will increase your productivity by allowing you to manipulate large or small pieces

Subjectively disagree on point 1, I like reading DDG SERPs. Subjectively agree on point 2, I find it a little disorienting not to be anchored to a page in the result set. DDG is my default searchbar site.

The internet is for a lot of things. A social network is for socializing. Fan sites or pages are a form of socializing. Certainly Facebook is within their rights to prohibit this kind of thing. You can even see why they'd want to do it: to

This is a very good summation of where we are, why it's bad, and how we got here. It's a good video to show someone who's interested but not in the industry.

So fan sites - labors of love - have no place in Facebook as a fan page.
