And after 10 years or so of trying, you'd expect the results to be far better, and more people to use it.

I think the search engine space is very ripe for a startup, but duckduckgo isn't it IMHO.

Adverts on hackernews now eh?

Otherwise we'll be called sexist?

I agree. I don't know why some people act as if it's astounding and something you would never think of - that swallowing magnets can be pretty dangerous.

Difference is though that there's millions of free apps floating around. There aren't millions of free wedges of cheese.

To a lot of people, paying for software is still a pretty weird concept, and evaluating the "worth" of software is quite hard when there is so much free software around.

The more dangerous case is those watch batteries are included in some greetings cards which play music or a recorded message etc. Very young kids can easily chew on a greetings card which isn't going to hurt them, but they may now swallow a battery as well, which may hurt them.

That's an idiotic conclusion.

How about teenagers who play with fireworks and die? Do we need to ban fireworks? Or do we just need parents to educate their children that fireworks are dangerous.

Those statistics are meaningless without comparison.

How many children are hospitalized/die from swallowing coins or lego?

Do we need warning labels on coins?

How many kids are hospitalized/die from swallowing batteries? I'd bet it's a lot more than magnets, and batteries can be pretty lethal.

I would say that when you buy an inflatable pool ring, if more of the area of the pool ring is taken up by warning messages, than isn't, then we've gone too far.

So yes, I think we've gone too far.

Sure. And they were let down massively by their parents.

If your child (Lets assume over the age of 2 or 3), is still eating random non-food items, you have some real parenting problems.

I bought some years ago, and had fun playing with them with my children. If you need a warning saying that eating a magnet is dangerous, you're not very clever.

And if your child (Lets say over the age of 3) is still eating random non-food items without checking with you, then you're not doing a great parenting job.

Don't you think the whole "put a warning sticker on everything" is getting a bit ridiculous?

Kinder surprises still banned though?

You mean he massively abused his position.

People have been prosecuted and JAILED for reddit comments don't forget.

Just a rookie question, but why the hell don't they just install some forum stuff on a web server?
