Yes, that's true, point to you! I'm not sure I would call it 'popular' though. Maybe 'somewhat common among people with no other possible options outside of death or prison (death).'

You read wrong. tvladek did not say Buecheler implied anything, only that being correct about one thing does not imply being correct about another.

And if you advertised for a slave you would presumably be dealing with the owner of said slave, so if you were offering a reasonable price, then no that would not be an exploitative offer.

Khoo's job posting offers value and leaves it up to the applicant to decide if that is inline with their requirements. For some it will be a dream job. For others it will not.

Slaves do not choose to be slaves, that is part of the definition of the term. The introduction of hyperbole and apples to oranges comparisons does not further conversation.

I wondered what the actual number was, related to HN's issues of course. Would be fun to know something like this.

I kept reading expecting an explanation for this, but there isn't one. Does he understand the difference? Who knows.

The explanation of "every step of the build" is pretty limited too.

They probably left reddit out of the list since it's kind of a dirty word on HN. :)

Um, since Instagram is Facebook, by my estimate Facebook owns 46% of that graph and is still most popular by a long-shot.

Same here. I love Alfred but I often forget it's even around because of my visor terminal.

All fair points, but I never defined adulthood, only disagreed with the parent which stated "the cut-off is not biological, it's social". Of course there are social factors as well as biological. I'm sure I'm not qualified to form such a definition, though if I tried it would have to include many factors.

I, for example, moved out of my parents' house at 18, but I wouldn't say I became an 'adult' until at least my early 30's. Even now I feel like a kid most of the time, in spite of my many responsibilities - even with a kid of my own!

I don't think we ever finish maturing, and I think we never stop learning, even though our 'peak' mental ability may come and go.

No, it was sarcasm.

Can't trust that graph because the x axis doesn't start at 0 ;)

> And that's because the cut-off is not biological, it's social.

I disagree. There is a wealth of biological evidence to show that a human's brain doesn't finish maturing until (approx.) age 25. By that standard you could make the argument that 25 is when people reach adulthood.

Of course, what we're really talking about here is expectations of responsibility, so even though "by 15 or 16 people should already be expected to act like adults" these young people still have maturing to do.

It's not surprising that in our rich modern society the age of 'adulthood' has risen to 25, especially considering we live so much longer than we used to.

Glad to help a fellow Portlander! :o)

I should clarify that the video quality was fine, but it would pause for buffering often at the beginning. Once I made it a few minutes in this cleared up. I'm in the Pacific Northwest, USA if that helps with troubleshooting.

You should consider expanding this to include other types of therapy workers. I know from doing tech work amongst mental health professionals that most are required to log x amount of hours doing y before they can obtain licensing as a z. Since you have the platform and domain knowledge you should be able to add features to widen your target demographic.
