And the other side of the coin is that schools (at least here in NYC) are cutting back on arts programs to make room for the extra STEM courses during the day. Talk about being short-sighted.

STEM doesn’t guarantee any individual a better income or life.

Disagree with you. Art + Science helps produce are more well-rounded individual. And I have always been a heavy “science/tech” person even since grade school who wished he had more exposure to the arts.

I went to the American Museum of Natural History last weekend with my 7 year old son (future paleontologist and all around Jurassic Park/World fan).

This is similar to enabling the “debug” option in the Reminders app which is supposed to force OSX to sync reminders to iOS devices.

All I can say in reply is that Joseph Campbell’s ‘The Hero’s Journey’ is alive and well in this movie...

Is there data on how TSA treats people with mental disabilities. Sometimes a disability is not physical or otherwise easily apparent to an observer.

Wow, I really wish I could give you more than one star. “White hat hacking”... I never really thought of it that way. As a white-hat (okay, maybe a little grey-hat) infosec engineer myself, I appreciate the new perspective.

I actually agree with you. I’ve learned (the hard way) that a battle of wills isn’t healthy or helpful. I do try to reason with my son and understand where he is coming from but it really is difficult as he is not very verbal. I’m sure it’s different with near-typical children.

Isn’t it all a matter of degrees? If their “attitude” is tempered with maturity, they may develop into emotionally secure, assertive, confident individuals. But if their defiance is so out of line that it affects their emotional development, they might even need medication.

Strong-willed is fine but we as parents *MUST* set the boundaries. I think it’s good parenting to encourage a child to test those boundaries because it helps develop their assertiveness. Of course if they defy the boundaries, then there needs to be consequences. I think once a child matures and learns that this…

“I believe—and hope—that this means strong-willed children are also less susceptible to peer pressure and more likely to stand up for themselves and others.”

Yep. It’s a shock. Fifteen years ago I had to take an ambulance to my hospital three blocks away when I threw my back out.

CHINOs. The word you’re looking for is CHINOs. Similar to RINOs, CHINOs are “Christians in Name Only”.

I think we’re twins. I’m the clean one and she’s the sloppy one. Once every couple months, she does what she calls a “30 minute blast” and then after that she hunkers down under the covers, watches Law & Order, plays Candy Crush, drinks rum and pops Xanax. Actually she does that almost every night, Saturday and Sunday…

I realize it’s probably a matter of personal taste, but that looks like an uncomfortable and cheap plastic chair. Surely a workspace this nice looking would deserve something better?

I hope he saved the bat!! That thing needs to go to Cooperstown!

Good recs here. He also has good articles on general privacy.

Great timing. I’m planning to build my very first DIY server next week.

I’ll be installing Windows Server 2012 R2 in order to run multiple virtual machines of a Windows Server domain controller, SQL server and various Windows 7/8.1/10 guests.

I’ve read your complete guide on building a computer and have specced out…

I used to interrupt my girlfriend constantly with my esteemed pronouncements on this and that. She got so fed up, she developed The Look. Now when I slip, I get The Look and (as they say in preschool), I instinctively do “whole body listening”. Heh. Sigh.
