<p>> kids don't need to sleep by themselves. see attachment parenting<p>I misused the word a bit.<p>I meant the kid had a hard time falling asleep. They would get cranky. They would take >30 minutes to fall asleep. They would get up and walk around wanting to play but they would be cranky because they were sleepy. Co-sleeping or not is independent of this.</p>

<p>Taking care of kids without a sitter means you have to watch the kid 24h/day. Every waking moment needs to be supervised.<p>> some job to push papers/keyboard keys around for 8+ hours.<p>There are tons of socializing during the work time. Nobody sits and types for 8 hours a day without moving.</p>

<p>Assuming the income stays the same, I'd happily swap places. I suspect many people would.<p>There are 2 further points:<p>1. I'd say the ideal setting is for both parents to work and hire a sitter even though it might financially net the same (or affordably negative) as having one stay-at-home parent. Because a human needs community and diverse things to do, not just one thing over and over everyday for years. Both of the parents will be much happier.<p>2. When people say taking care of baby/toddler is difficult, it's almost always about not eating well and/or not sleep well. Eating would take an hour of spoon-feeding because the kid wouldn't eat by themselves. Kids wouldn't be able to sleep by themselves. You must focus on solving these 2 areas first. Once they are solved, it gets a lot easier to take care of a baby/toddler.</p>

<p>Given that he has been running the company for many years and the valuation/profit/or whatever has gone up 100x times, I'd say the board is probably gonna be patient with the guy.<p>Imagine the guy made you $1.4 trillion dollars but lost $14 billions. Would you fire him?</p>

<p>I'm gonna get downvoted for this.<p>But I'd like cameras in my neighborhood. Sure, there's a security risk but there's also a risk of not catching criminals due to lack of evidence. Tons of crimes aren't prosecuted due to the lack of evidence.<p>A security risk doesn't impact average people, and it can be handled more easily.</p>

<p>The comment is so out of touch. Even Chineses and Russians are disgusted by Iran's culture e.g. how they treat women and many others. Then, there's the saying "you know who Islam hates more than the jews and christians? other slightly different Islam groups."<p>And these countries are supposed to be Iran's closest allies due to having a common enemy.</p>
