That's the problem with the "loving community will fix everything" theory in a nutshell. Parents or friends of a person who is dangerous to society will turn a blind eye, be more easily coerced, manipulated, etc. A loving community will see

And your implication that a "loving community" can wave a magic wand and make this sick adult better is equally incorrect. I would suggest in fact that some of the signs this troubled individual would behave in this manner were probably alr

If a person takes such a personal, aggressive, and malicious position towards you and your family, by reporting them to the proper authorities you haven't "ruined" their life. You shouldn't feel guilty bringing the perpetrator of a serious

The problem seems to ultimately always boil down to "I added far too many people to Facebook as friends, and now Facebook is useless!" To which the solution is easy: cut down the number of people you are friends with on Facebook. For me, I

Tell me about it. All these valuations and buyouts starting with a $"B" make me a bit nervous (and truthfully, envious as well). I don't understand how a market of rational actors can support these kind of numbers. There is just this comple

I'm in a situation where a user-submitted content driven site I'm about to launch is going to be in need of a lot of content to get it kick-started. Has anyone had any experience using services like Mechanical Turk ( https://www.mturk.com/m

This API is extremely unreliable and has a great deal of functionality missing as well (commenting, voting). The original developer is also no longer maintaining it. I tried to build an Hacker News app using it some time ago and abandoned t
