Cars and houses can have alarms, and customers decide whether they need them or not. We do not require that all cars and houses come equipped with them. Wallets can be attached to a chain or placed in the front pocket. We don't require that you can only purchase a wallet with a chain.

Unlike childrens' toys that require battery covers to be screwed shut, or cars that must have seatbelts, the theft of a device does not seem to be a public safety issue. Your decision to own an expensive phone and take it out of your pocket at the train station seems no more necessary of regulation than your decision to wear an expensive necklace.

Really? That's quite a leap. I read it as an interesting debunking of a common myth that I have heard before. That's all. Not sure where you got the "today's news" part.

If your child crashes his bike and gets a bloody knee on the playground, your relaxing afternoon at the park is most likely over and now you have a crying child, bloody clothes, a damaged bike wheel, and potentially another child who is now screaming because you have to leave the park to go find bandages. If your child breaks her arm, it's even worse -- off to the hospital you go, followed by a child who can't take a bath or get dressed by herself for a month.

Do some parents take this to an extreme and deny their kids some fun? Sure. But a lot of times, it's just about trying to maintain a level of mindfulness so that everyone can continue having fun for the afternoon.

So, quite possibly, the new tiles for the map are in transition or not yet propagated?

Edit: A correction - they meet on Yerba Buena Island technically, not Treasure Island.

Thanks for the excellent writeup of your experience, though I'm sorry you had to go through it in the first place. As someone who is also brown-skinned and from a Hindu family and who has been singled out for many "random" screenings, I've dreaded the chance of this sort of interrogation happening, every time I've flown since 9/11.

Trying to compare the actual cost of actual projects with the first projected cost of an ideal, untested project is a bit silly, don't you think?

Massive projects always take time. And in that time, there will always be new technologies. The Space Shuttle used 1970s computing technology onboard, for example. Does it make sense to stop each time there's a new idea?

New San Francisco Bay Bridge. (No, it's not a refurbish -- it's a completely separate bridge with a separate design to replace the existing Eastern span.)

That said, your site's going to need more information about why it's any better before I sign up for an account. What genres do you cover? How wide is your database of books? Is it possible to offer a trial w/o an account? E.g., enter some books and get recommendations -- and then ask if I want to create an account w/ these settings so I can continue to get more recommendations?

You'd better supply a source for a claim like that.

First, you come off as highly dismissive of teachers in general. Grammar, body language, word choice, and even the way someone conjugates "to be" is often linked to a person's ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or cultural group. To compare that to the language found in "a prison yard" is insulting and makes me think you're more focused on judging how these teachers speak than on addressing the actual concerns they raised.

Likewise, your calculation on how many hours teachers work is a best-case estimate. I'm not a teacher but I know many, and I went to public school. So I know just how often teachers get to school 30mins to an hour early to prep, work through their lunches, and stay hours after to help students, grade tests, write letters of recommendation, meet with parents, and host clubs or coach sports. And then there are the multiple days at the end of each quarter when teachers work through nights and weekends putting together progress reports. Do you want to factor that into your estimate?

Also, I'm not sure how it is in Jersey City, but most teachers I know spend hundreds of dollars out of their own money on supplies each year because school districts don't have the cash to pay for pencils and paper and other basic supplies.

What school boards need is not someone who is antagonistic to teachers, but someone who is willing to work with them.

As others have said, some minor instructional text would help people get started. Also, making the name and expiration fields more obvious from the start (more obvious that they're fields and more obvious that they will need to be filled out) would also be helpful.

Having to click to flip the card is probably the biggest problem (though fixable). Typically when filling out a form, I suspect most people use the tab key to go from field to field. Having to go back to the trackpad/mouse and click on a spot slows things down. Maybe have the card automatically flip if you hit tab after the expiration field?
