For example, I participated in Explore, a Canadian immersion program that offers a chance to live in Québec for five weeks and really improve your French by speaking it day-in and day-out. Targeting such programs to their users could be a great value add.

"I cant see any useful purpose for 6 second clips in a social wide audience context."

"I can't see any useful purpose for 140 character blurbs in a social wide audience context."

One of the major arguments in the article is that instructions exist for printing an Assault Rifle (AR). I doubt that the rounds fired have the same lethal capacity of a "real" firearm; however, I certainly wouldn't want to be hit by the weapon in the video.

My point is that who is the AAP to say how best to raise children? I seriously doubt the validity of any study that claims to be conclusive on how to raise children, and would make a bet that any research they did was localized to the US. Anecdotally, several of my friends were beaten as children and turned out fine. All this proves is that sometimes physical punishment works and sometimes it doesn't. But the same goes for "establishing a loving relationship with your child;" since you can hardly do that when they're threatening to stab you with a knife.

Can you back up your claim that beatings produce poor outcomes for children in "highly educated societies?" Or that 'less educated societies" are inferior because they don't have qualms about spanking their kids when they misbehave?

I feel like retailers could make an easy profit by bundling a small book with practical computer advice (e.g., avoiding scams, viruses, etc.) with purchases for an extra $5-10, but they're too busy stuffing bloatware down the consumer's throat to care.

It also turns up as the first hit for "hacker news parody" or "hn parody" on Google.
