It's all fun and games until someone gets kidnapped.

There's also the situation where a lot of American towns/cities aren't so crowded that you can walk everywhere. And not everywhere in America is there good public transportation.

But statistically, how often does that happen? Is it enough to be seriously worried about?

I don't think it's an issue of being crowded. I think it's an issue of how we design our cities. We assume everyone will have a car, so those that don't have a car (kids) have less independence. A lot of Europe was built before cars existed, so they don't assume that everyone will have their own car.


There are 115 abductions of children by strangers in an average year, in the US.

Traffic accidents are a much, much more prevalent threat.

(There are 800,000 children reported missing each year. 90% have misunderstood directions or ran away on their own initiative. 9% are kidnapped by a family member in a custody dispute.

> And not everywhere in America is there good public transportation.

First off, that's by design. Car-centric infrastructure planning really did a number on the American public. The damages ended up being far worse than just economic.

Second, that's an understatement of the century. Public transportation is pretty much non-existent in most of US. It's good in exactly 1 city (NY), and probably decent in another 2 or 3.


I bet more parents beat their kids to death each year than strangers kidnapping children. Based on that parents should not be allowed to get close to their children.


Almost all kid kidnappings are from someone the kid knows, like a parent without legal custody.


I always considered salty to mean the act of being bitter or resentful.

I think he's more upset with the fact that it doesn't quite live up to the title it holds, and is disappointed it's just a list of deep learning courses most people (who have bothered to look into learning about ml) know about already.

I also think you're taking this too personally.


That's a bad analogy.


It's not even an analogy, it's just a series of slurs.


Honest question: why was this dead? It doesn't add much, but dead?


>They wanted to ask her questions. Lawyer could be present. She didn't want to.

Did you not read the article?

>Lovecruft told CNNMoney she had been willing to meet the FBI with her attorney present. But Rosenfeld was told by agents that they would circumvent him and approach Lovecruft directly.


Never talk to a cop or fed without a lawyer present if you are being questioned for anything other than a traffic ticket or you were just the victim of a crime. Even then, be careful what you say. They are not there for your benefit.


>No, it is never okay to compromise security just because "it's good when you forget your password".

No one is arguing that.

Doh.


given the context of the reply, any person of average intelligence should be able to figure it out (or just google)


Well I read the reply :

"we offer service X"

could be from anybody trying to say they offer the service, not obvious at all it is a representative of Namecheap


because users of software, should be language agnostic


Most interested parties here are not merely users but developers. Potential contributors. Or if anything, merely curious about the inner workings.

That represents a large percentage, if not the overwhelming majority of users of HN. I'm surprised this question still comes up. It's a bit like when people ask on /r/gamedev showcases "why should I care what engine your game is built in?".


+1. Yet every time I use a piece of software written in a dynamically typed language, I keep asking myself: how could this be safe???
