As a parent of early-teen children I don't want a ban, I want better tools to supervise and educate my kids about using SM safely.

- Searchable history of all content that has been viewed on the app

- Age-based content/functionality restrictions, with sensible defaults

- SM account DOB set from device DOB, with no override

- Parental controls implemented consistently across all apps

- Free comprehensive public education programme for parents about using SM safety

Some of this already exists, but not widely and is rarely done well.

A good (if slightly dated) book on the subject:

How the Wolf Became the Dog by Mark Derr

This is an active, and fast-moving, research area and I'd be keen to read something more up-to-date.

I've got a lot of love for py.test right now. http://pytest.org/latest/

I feel I'm able to write much more concise test scripts than I could with unittest.

"Most people I spoke to in Cuba work for the state and have zero incentive to deliver anything above the bare minimum. They get paid the same either way. Even the private restaurants lack the fervor of a competitive business, since the economic environment they work in is still completely controlled even if they themselves are private."

Interesting article, but this statement is completely opposed to my own experience. I went to Cuba 4 years ago and nearly everyone I met had something running on the side. One guy said that "everyone has two jobs, they job you're given and the job you love" (he was a tour guide who did photography on the side).

I a country where many (admittedly not all) basic needs are taken care of by the state, the people are able to pursue their own aspirations, as the guy featured in the article has done.

"zero incentive" = neo-liberal bollocks.

>One guy said that "everyone has two jobs, they job you're given and the job you love" (he was a tour guide who did photography on the side).

That is because that's the only way to survive. The top positions in Cuba are those which face foreigners, as there is always a non-trivial chance of receiving dollar-based tips, which are far, far more valuable than the official Cuban currency. When I went to a Cuban resort town, my barman had been trained in Physics in Moscow, and considered himself very fortunate to be in the job he was in.

Cubans are, undoubtedly, some of the most resourceful and entrepreneurial people I've met -- but by necessity. The statement that they have "zero incentive to deliver anything above the bare minimum" is absolutely right, because everyone knows that their well-being will depend on what else they can come up with on the side.

My dad earned 'the equivalent of' an MSc in the air force in the 70's. Those qualifications didn't translate well in to the real world back then.

I wasn't a fan of 'Strange Loop' either. I'll be buying this one though.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one disappointed by it.

> I don't have too much time left. My 20ies are gone.

In the first decade of life, you are who your parent want you to be.

In the second decade of life, you are who your friends want you to be.

In your third decade of life, you discover who you want to be.

In the fourth decade of life, you become who you want to be.

You've got all the time left. You've only just started.

I'm also 30, and only now do I feel that I'm emotionally and intellectually mature enough to claim my life as my own.

Good luck.

So... hospitals can reject the uninsured even more quickly...?

Your insinuation, that hospitals reject the uninsured, is incorrect. Please read about the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act [1].

Maybe you should try actually providing constructive criticism for the submitted link instead of this hurr USA insurance is dumb meme garbage.

We've put together a mini-site to further explain the history, archaeology and science of the discovery.

The archaeology portion of this website makes for some exciting reading. Well done!

Firstly, I'm not a Windows developer so please forgive any platform specific errors in my response.

If you're talking about runtime libraries that let you interface with an operating system, then for me, that's not an API.

Even if those libraries are available for every language available on the OS. It's still not an API.

An API should be language agnostic. Granted there may be language specific libraries providing wrappers, but the API itself must use an open protocol, making no language requirements. Otherwise it not an API.
