You sound like a white person from a middle class or better upbringing.
RavingGoat··on Arizona Mom Fights Abusive Prosecution by Department of Child Safety
This is common these days. People use CPS to try to bully people.

I'm the white parent of a black son we adopted at birth. We live in a white middle class neighborhood but one neighbor doesn't like having a black kid living there. They've called CPS multiple times. It's always nerve racking because you don't know what can happen even if though the claims are bogus. They come to the door assuming you are guilty.

RavingGoat··on Formula One’s sharpest car designer is also its master of loopholes
The only fair and by the rules way to end the race was to either red flag it or end under the safety car. F1 became as fake as pro wrestling that day.
RavingGoat··on In defense of coding interviews
I've found that coding interviews just prove that you can write rushed, crappy code to solve a problem.
RavingGoat··on I stopped to watch kids playing at recess – security was called
He's riding a bike so when he crashes he probably sometimes gets a concussion. Riding a bike anywhere is kinda scary though, not just big cities.
RavingGoat··on A few things to know before stealing my 914

Come for the car vulnerabilities and stay for the Chevy Citation jokes.
RavingGoat··on Space anemia
It seems like death row inmates would be a good comparison group.
RavingGoat··on Safest mushrooms to forage and eat
I would suggest taking the Mushroom Mountain certified foraging class if the certification covers your state. It's valid in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvannia, New York, Rhode Island. It allows you to forage and sell mushrooms legally.

RavingGoat··on The American prison system’s war on reading
This is definitely true in the United States. No rehabilitation and trying to make money off them.

Can you see or are you nonblind?

Only 2 of 7 board members are microsoft
RavingGoat··on GoDaddy is cutting off Texas Right to Life’s abortion ‘whistleblowing’ website
No because you are choosing to be in one. I was not born a Methodist but my parents took me to a Methodist church as a child. I was not born with the desire or need to go to a Methodist church.
RavingGoat··on Why Europeans Don't Refrigerate Eggs but Americans Do
Pasteurized eggs and milk suck compared to non-pasteurized
RavingGoat··on Super Mario 64 game sells for record-breaking $1.5M at auction
The smart way to launder money is to create a company that "rates and pays" stuff like your electric bill then vastly overcharges you to do it.
RavingGoat··on Home Gardening
Cherry tomatoes are awesome. Much easier to grow.
RavingGoat··on The Masters pimento cheese sandwich scandal
Sadly, the owner of Palmetto cheese is a douchebag. Just google Sean Brocks pimento cheese recipe. Best recipe out there.
RavingGoat··on Ask HN: Do you think Agile/Scrum is beneficial for software delivery?
Agreed, Scrum has been crap everywhere that I've worked that used it. Nothing like a 1 hour standup every morning to hinder productivity.
RavingGoat··on Trump Is Considering Clemency for Silk Road Founder
Snowden is tough. The China stuff he released wasn't very patriotic.
RavingGoat··on YouTube has deleted the account of David Icke
You can't yell fire in a movie theater. David Icke is basically doing the same... risking peoples lives so free speech doesn't cover him.
RavingGoat··on Burger King is rolling out meatless Impossible Whoppers nationwide
The current Morningstar veggie patties at Burger King are microwaved so no cross contamination with the conveyor belt cooking contraption that cooks the meat patties. Maybe they'll do the same with the Impossible patties.
RavingGoat··on The Doomed Cleveland Balloonfest of 1986 [video]
I was at that Clemson game. It was unreal.
RavingGoat··on Amazon Will Ban Sale of Apple, Google Video-Streaming Devices
Agreed. Apple not allowing Amazon Prime on the Apple TV was far more anti-competitive. That should end when the new Apple TV comes out though.
RavingGoat··on MinecraftLANProxy
My 7 year old daughter is a beast at minecraft. She plays it like it's her job.
RavingGoat··on Harper Lee to publish Mockingbird 'sequel'
I agree. Harry Potter is a great "gateway drug".
RavingGoat··on I Owe It All to Community College
I was good in math and I dropped astronomy because it was all math. That and it was extremely boring.
RavingGoat··on Progress Software to Acquire Telerik for $263M

RavingGoat··on Taste test: Wal-Mart vs. Whole Foods produce
Same here in South Carolina.
RavingGoat··on 9 Year Old Girl Becomes Microsoft Certified "Professional"
Meh, dumps exist for SJCP too... just not the whole test. Years ago when I took it for an employer about 1/3 of the questions were in dumps at the time. A co-worker said almost all his questions were from dumps when he took the SJCP exam. Sun does a better job than Microsoft but not much better.
