It still makes me tear up every time I skim it, yeah.

It’s never been on sale, but the price HAS gone up multiple times since it was first launched in alpha.

There isn’t even any risk, considering the amount of detail they’ve covered in the dev blogs.

They can, but it costs so much that salvaging it is cheaper

There’s a reason the article won a Pulitzer. Maybe you could give it a try

So many possible factors. Family support allowing more sleep, less car-centric cities, less tradition of single parent transporting the kid around while on errands, etc etc.

None of these people were idiots.

Check out this article: Fatal Distraction, it won a Pulitzer Prize. It’s about how the mind works and why this incident keeps happening over and over again.

Nobody INTENDS to leave their kid in the car to die.

Fatal Distraction is a Pulitzer Prize winning article that examines how the mind works and why this sort of incident keeps happening over and over again.

They are. The people who do this? They are you and me and your neighbor.

I see it’s time to repost this:

Fatal distraction, a Pulitzer Prize winning article

Tearjerker article about how parents who’ve been through this felt, why it happens, and what car manufacturers could do to prevent it.

Didn’t he just declare a day ago that the UK wouldn’t rejoin the EU?

The Disney family no longer owns or controls Disney Megacorp, AFAIK. It’s an independent company run in the usual way now.

No, it does not. I have not read anything about Gaiman’s case, and have absolutely no opinion on it at this point. My comment was entirely a commentary on the absurdity of your logic.

Troll? I was pointing out the issues in your logic. Was the blatant sarcasm not blatant enough for you?

I’m all for supporting women. Give them a chance to speak out, make sure they are fairly listened to and taken seriously. You’ve gone a step beyond that, you’ve already decided guilt and innocence and proclaimed it. More, you’re doing so from a position of influence (yes, as a moderator of a large community, that’s what you are). This is the sort of thing that libel charges get filed for (ok, not gonna happen at our current size, but you may want to start keeping that in mind.)

Why would you default to that?

Because that’s the basis of our legal bloody system! Innocent until proven guilty! There’s a thousand law professors out there who can explain it better and more eloquently than I could in a thousand years, but that’s the gist of it.

You do not need a conviction to make up your mind.

That’s correct. We do, however, need a conviction before stating it as fact instead of opinion.

Not only are you siding with the party with no evidence

I beg to differ. I have not sided with any party. What is it about people today that they seem unable to grasp the concept of neutrality?

Additional sentencing was added

How is that additional sentencing? In essence, they proved themselves to be unfit parents (because, you know, the whole grooming for crime thing), and had their kids removed due to that. It’s like if you lost your job because you were convicted of a crime. That’s not additional sentencing, that’s just a consequence of your actions

Trusting the government to do the right thing is a poor idea. Politicians will only do the “right” thing if it helps them out.

Without any information, this is just idle conspiracy theorising. It’s not even about politicians, since from the sound of it this came from regular govt officials, not elected politicians.

They’re not just writing the software, they’re responsible for the infrastructure it’s running on. And keeping that running and secure IS a full time job.

Right now, you sound exactly like one of those C level execs who looks at IT and asks “We haven’t had an issue in years, what do we need to pay them for?”

Fair enough! That’s exciting news
