I'm not claiming my success today is solely due to this upbringing, but I do feel like it had a meaningful impact. Especially when I see the outcomes of friends who had either very authoritarian or completely hands-off parents. There's something powerful in that balanced, "Andy Taylor" approach: patient guidance, firm boundaries, and leading by example.

It’s interesting to consider that despite all the developmental psychology and theories on parenting we have today, a lot of the fundamentals were demonstrated in simple, accessible ways by a character on 1960s TV. It’s a reminder that, at its core, effective parenting often just requires consistency, empathy, and a healthy dose of common sense.

I’m looking to set up a "Letters to Santa" for the kids in my neighborhood this year. If you've done something similar in your own community, I'd love to hear about it.

Whether it was a simple mailbox, a special event, or even some unique way to deliver replies from Santa, I'd be really grateful for any tips or ideas that worked well for you.

Thanks for any inspiration you can share!

> NASA issued the following explanation on Monday for the strange noises: "A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback."

ATK + OribtalSciences = Orbital ATK

then NG bought out Orbital ATK

> “Everybody’s incentives are aligned,” the former official said. “The FCC is going to want to know what caused it so that lessons can be learned. And if they find malfeasance or bad actions or, just poor quality of oversight of the network, they have the latitude to act.”

If AT&T gets to decide if they are at fault, they will, of course, never be at fault. So a third-party investigation makes a lot of sense.

I would also suspect that the FCC would not be as well versed in determining if there was a hack or even who did it, which is why I feel like CISA would need to get involved in the investigation.

This isn't telling of anything, right? Wouldn't CISA be involved with anything that impacts Public Infrastructure at this level?

CNN reported that AT&T confirmed it has not been impacted throughout this event.

Could be a hack Could be a single point of failure Could be a config change that borked the system

Could be other things that make more sense we will have to wait for more info.

Thankfully most programmers don't really have to worry about all of these edge cases unless they are writing their own timezone libraries.

I reached out to Apple thinking this could be a privacy concern and was told that it was a UI bug not a privacy concern, do you agree?
