The hiker texted a photo. Even better, since he had a smartphone, he could text his GPS coordinates from an app like Gaia. Not sure if there's a way to get lat/long from Apple or Google Maps.

In the absence of basic parenting, yes - that's an important function the setting serves. But it's not 'preparation for 1st grade', it's minimal damage-mitigation.
In the absence of basic parenting? The child is spending like eight hours away from their parents. Of course it's going to have an impact, parenting present or not.
I'm pretty sure the commentator was talking about the other case, social skills can be learned outside of pre-school and kindergarten - when basic parenting skills are applied.
Pretty much, yeah. If those kids that aren't going to kindergarten have exchanged that time for neglect - sitting in front of a television for an eight hour stretch, for example - then they will certainly be worse off for it. But the article didn't demonstrate or investigate that, it went straight from "less enrollment" to "less prepared", as if kindergarten is the only realistic place to learn such important skills as "basic respect" and "don't hit people".
Scott's explanation at least makes sense with a causal chain of reasoning. "Self-awareness" is more a philosophical concept that has no psychiatric meaning, sort of like like "fairness" in economics. "It's all placebo here!" sounds lazy and like a cheap shot.
Lol! It seems HN rewrote the title.
The initial title was "How Airbyte raised $5M with Accel in 13 days (deck included)"
I didn't know they renamed titles.
Fair point. My wife does have "nude heels," which are (more or less) the color of a white person's naked skin. Still, I guess I didn't think that the word "nude" in "nude heels" was supposed to actually mean "the color of a white person's naked skin," but rather that nude meant "naked" and the shoe company had (wrongly and unfairly) assumed that the only people they needed to care about were white...
I'm not disagreeing and I don't have an axe to grind here, this is just anecdotal observation about language and usage in my (limited) experience.
Hey, thank you for the note. I just bought an iPhone and the autocorrect turns lowercase “colombia” into “columbia.” It does the opposite for cased versions of both words (Columbia -> Colombia).
Either way, both spellings come from the same person (Christopher Columbus/Cristoforo Colombo).
