or whatever it's actually called. Hit power button 5 times rapidly, it'll open the emergency panel (SOS, 911-onetouch, etc.) and will then only allow a passcode (no biometrics)
(not seeing the slaughter also helps, I think if a few more kids saw an animal being killed it would make a big difference)
Maybe, maybe not. I didn't start hunting until I was an adult; pursuing, killing, dressing, and cooking the animals I harvested made me appreciate them MORE, not LESS.
I've also grown my own vegetables, and a similar thing applied. Maybe simply working for it makes it taste better.
and (shame on me, I know) although I don't have empirical metrics, anecdotally my phone is definitely doing *some*thing because it's getting hot even when the screen is off and I'm not using it... got so bad it started dropping frames in a video the other day.
installed *.1 this morning, we'll see if this improves things.
is strong, but seriously I hope you get this resolved.
alright, one joke. I was backpacking as a kid (BSA@Philmont) and the rangers told us not to wait too long between BMs (as rookie were inclined to do, given the lack of comfortable facilities along the trail), as it could result in a trip to the doctor to resolve the situation via a dire-sounding process called manual extraction. "Unless," the ranger said, "you are a mathematician."
I had to ask. I knew something awful was coming, but I asked.
"What happens if you are a mathematician?"
"Why," said the ranger nonchalantly, "you can just work it out with a pencil."

I don't believe I've ever seen the claim that it changed adult behavior... you know, that's why we have a rating system that makes certain things unavailable to certain age groups (movies and games) so it seems kind of stupid that they only tested it on adults.
Also, others have made the comment but I'll just agree here: 30 minutes a day doth not a gamer make. Filthy casuals.
We always pronounced it out loud as "DEEdle and DIEdle" (rhymes with "beadle" and "bridle") with the same general idea you had e.g. Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
it's not a real CS class!
I'm kidding of course. Many of those books weren't textbooks by any stretch, any more than a dictionary or the DSM is a text book: good reference, but not with "lessons" and such.
My best CS classes were when the prof used a reference book and wrote their own curricula, rather than a "textbook" and just following the built in lesson plan.
he thought, triumphantly, as he read the article (linked from/.) on his mobile device,
"I just *knew* there was a reason I was so desperately miserable!"
ditto. The part where Orr asks Haber (and I'll get the quote wrong) "what if everyone can do this? what if reality is constantly being pulled out from under us?"
was the single greatest mindfuck I've ever had. Pure greatness.
I could type for an hour on the subject, but I won't.
I'll just summarize by saying trying to understand people and be empathetic has made a way bigger impact on my personal and professional lives than being able to code faster or better. 20-year old me is still kind of upset about this, but pushing-40-year old me has sort of accepted it as a necessary skill for living in a world where people (generally) are more influenced by emotions than by logic.
I don't pride myself on UX work (mostly write tools for other engineers) but seriously, wouldn't you have a different (and much harder) confirmation for "Real Missiles Ahoy" vs "This has been A Test?"
e.g. confirmation modal dialog box for the test (Are you sure? yes/no) vs. do a CAPTCHA && type a word && click something that moves around, etc.
If everything in the system has a same (or materially similar) confirmation mechanism, you are basically training folks to ignore it; this is why only serious things (delete, etc.) have them.
Written by Asimov and his wife, Norby the Mixed Up Robot (and many sequels) are awesome. Loved them as a kid. Family friendly (no sex, clean language, minimal violence) but entertaining enough for adults.

or from, you know, the tap, for almost nothing. (I realize it's not free, but even living in a drought-ridden state I am paying well under $10/1000gal which means a gallon of water is under $0.01)
Pre-nups are stupid; it's like saying "I love you dear, but I expect we'll get divorced someday".
Not necessarily. It's just being prepared for something you hope doesn't happen. I don't EXPECT my house to catch fire, but there are smoke detectors and fire extinguishers anyway. I don't EXPECT to wreck my car, but there's a seatbelt cutter and first aid kit in the glove box anyway. I don't EXPECT to suddenly die, but I have life insurance anyway. The list goes on. A pre-nup is just marriage insurance.
We have all grown up in a world ruled by salesmen, thugs, and psychopaths, but that's not the world I'd like to leave to my kids. I'd like them to live in a world led by artists, engineers, scientists, and humanitarians.
Artists, engineers, scientists and humanitarians do not have an unquenchable, innate thirst for power.
Salesmen, thugs and psychopaths do. So they work hard to gather, consolidate and maintain power while decent people don't. It's that simple.
agreed. those look about like 25# bags (~11-12kg) so 75# total. most teenagers with a strong back can easily haul that around, having a full grown man in an exosuit doing it is ridiculous. while the suit might not be able to handle cars, you'd think he'd at least be toting the bodyweight of a grown man.
Switched the same day I installed Chrome, after reading the license and promptly uninstalling it. Never switched back. Love how it runs off a flash drive.

that enough of the world's problems have been solved... that we find ourselves having to devote time and energy to "solving" this "problem."
What a time to be alive.

very thought-provoking, thank you.

it's unusable. attempting to enter anything other than coffee or tea (no soda, really?) causes the app to crash on my unjailbroken phone.
