Very young parents don't tend to do well by their kids, because they can't. Maybe they lack sufficient resources to care for them properly, and maybe they are still barely more than children themselves emotionally
News to me. If you're still behaving petulantly by your late teens, you have no one to blame but yourself (and maybe your parents, maybe because they were too old, ironically). Maybe that's because so many Americans are too busy focusing on being temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
Where I live (not in the US), it is very common for people to marry and start families in their very early twenties and sometimes even late teens. There is no insurmountable financial strain to speak of, but that has more to do with a stable economy, good financial planning skills and a general satisfaction with life.
My sister is 25 with children of 3 and 1. She is a stay-at-home mom and her husband pulls in between about 30-35k a year. Yes, money is tight, but they are financially responsible with no major debts outside of the mortgage and car loan. They are incredibly happy with a very good outlook on life.
Consider this: younger parents have more energy and are still that stage of life where lack of sleep less of a problem, so they can keep up with their kids and give them the full attention they need. Their families are stronger and collectively larger for longer. I'm in my late twenties and both sets of grandparents are still around.
So you think the better balance is to have older parents cause a greater chance of life-long afflictions in their children rather than younger adults to just stop being oversized children and give their kids the best possible biological chance at good health?
1. Any "demand letters" sent out must be reviewed and approved by the case management judge.
2. Letters must include a copy of the court order and clearly state, in bold text, that no court ruling has established liability for payment or damages by the recipient.
3. TekSavvy may only disclose subscribers' names and addresses.
4. Voltage Pictures must pay Teksavvy's legal costs before the release of subscriber details.
5. Any further action brought against subscribers must be case managed.
6. Subscriber information must be kept confidential and not disclosed to the general public, the media or anyone not directly relevant to the case.
Yup, I've used a number of password managers over the years and this one is easily one of the best. There's just no reason not to use it.
There are ports for just about everything, including Android, which is incredibly handy.
I particularly like the Firefox extension (KeeFox), which can be configured to automatically enter credentials as well as save new credentials entered in Firefox with one click.
Being able to practicably exercise your mobility rights is a privilege? Being able to practicably exercise your right to live, work and be a contributing member of society is a privilege? Until we have completely ubiquitous transportation, either by public transit or autonomous cars, driving needs to be a right.
What good are your other rights if they are subject to revokable privileges?
(p.s. on a tangential note, driving also ought to be ingrained as a more responsible endeavor than most people believe it to be, not just that annoying thing they have to do between A and B. Our driver training standards in North America are laughably pathetic... you may die of shock when you learn about the years of continual training required in countries where they take driving seriously)
Maybe you missed the part about how she was moving at the time, misplaced it and, because of the address change, never received any of the certified letters indicating the overdue return. It wasn't ignored or refused, she flat out didn't know.
This was an honest mistake. The only thing dishonest here are the assholes ruining this poor woman's life over a FUCKING FIVE DOLLAR VIDEO RENTAL.
Should they be forced to spend time glued to a screen? Nah, probably not, they'll do enough of that on their own.
Should programming's fundamental principles of logic, crucial thinking and problem solving be deeply ingrained? Absolutely. But programming is just one of many teaching tools available.
If the learning process happen to strike oil with a child's interest and aptitude for programming, then by all means encourage it, but don't force anyone into a nonessential activity they don't enjoy.
To be fair, that isn't really the fault of JavaScript in and of itself, it's more of a failing of browser security policies.
If a same-domain-only policy was enforced similarly to as with frames, that would remove a *lot* of the issues you're taking about. Of course, that would introduce quite a number of problems, but I think it would solve more (like, for example, sites don't take ten fucking minutes to load a single page because it's reliant upon a thousand different ad servers, tracking systems... seriously, there are times when my 1080p screen can't contain the NoScript blocked list menu, it's absolutely absurd)
Yeah, you could still do some server trickery to load external scripts, but it would be a pretty big roadblock for incompetent developers who include a million external scripts to deal with a simple task that could handled by... well, not being incompetent.
There's no response that wouldn't cause suspicion.
They can't confirm it because they're gagged under threat of imprisonment or worse.
If they deny it, they were forced to do so upon threat of imprisonment or worse.
If they say nothing, they were gagged under threat of imprisonment or worse.
They can't even confirm it passively by shutting down service or using a virtual dead man switch, as we've seen with the Lavabit case.
The feds will find a way to argue and manipulate the process in their favor. There is no winning move for anyone who receives a NSL or FISC order, they're fucked. And so are we.
Another problem identified just five years ago is that the eyeballs of at least some astronauts became somewhat squashed. 'It is now a recognized occupational hazard of spaceflight,' says Dr. Barratt. 'We uncovered something that has been right under our noses forever.'
Have all presented permissions as a selection process and have them all selected by default. In other words, make in an opt-out process. Maybe give a warning about possible malfunctions when a permission is deselected and an option for advanced users to suppress the warning.
Users who know what they're doing and how to predict the effects of disabling certain permissions get more control over their data, everyone else will just accept the defaults as they always do anyway.
It's not a difficult problem, somebody just doesn't want it solved. Who is that somebody? Whoever stands to gain by making permissions an all-or-nothing proposition.
Yeah, I realized that when I said it, but in terms of raw quantity, that is the exception and not the norm (and you might want to redact Android... it's kind of quasi free and open)
Other notable examples include Mozilla's efforts, Audacity, VLC and... uh, I can't think of any others at the moment. For every truly excellent open source project out there, there are a thousand of 'em where the developers have their heads up their asses and clearly are incapable of thinking from the perspective of their users.
I mean, holy shit, when police are smothering every angle of a peaceful gathering just in case by default, that's when you know it.
America has had it so good for so long that one act of mass violence happens and they lose their shit (not to mention their rights). There are other countries where such things have historically been the norm, yet haven't resorted to police state tactics.
Has anyone up there even stopped for a moment to think that, just maybe, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy? That all the rights-abridging, war-mongering, imperialistic atrocities committed by America's for-the-government-by-the-government system in the name of "spreading democracy" (AHAHAHAHAHAHA...) is causing certain people to react in such an extreme manner? Or am I being too naive in thinking that they haven't considered this and decided they want it this way?

Because internet, that's why. A person is smart, people are fucking retards (or something like that)
Somehow, wiring and routing equipment complicate simple principles like preventing monopolies from engaging in extortion.

I am so fucking tired of this mantra.

Cost for a single VHS cassette: these days, about $5
Cost in man hours for the paperwork, arresting, jailing, court costs and so on... into the thousands, maybe even tens of thousands.
Seriously, what petulant, power-lording fuckwit sought this action?
And we expected it to be pretty bad.
Fuck beta.
NSA and GCHQ not doin' it for ya?

They DAMN well better make digital service providers common carriers and subject them to all the same regulations as PSTN.
Otherwise, we are truly fucked.

This guy is against junk "science" more than anything else.

Was it uncovered while upside down?
Oh, bullshit.

That's why
Can't think of anything else.

Pick two
Yeah, I think we've located the source of the problem
