As an adult iOS/Android user, I am annoyed by IAP games, but I don't feel like I'm being bamboozled or defrauded. Nothing warranting government interference.

But as a parent of a 2 year old, I am not pleased with some kids games developers trying to take advantage of children (and I'm talking toddlers) using devices where parents haven't blocked IAP, or placing ads that they presumably get click-revenue from kids not understanding what they're clicking on...

Great work, Tom! And timely. Django-rest-framework is #1 on my list of the best Django packages out there. I was about to start an API project in Flask, but was thinking that I'd really really miss DRF and its great architecture adn features (powerful out of the box, everything easily overridable, great separation of concerns, and browsable API).

Keep in mind we only have his version of the story...

But certain beverages can exclude certain genders, religions, ethnicities and sexual orientations :)

A few observations: 1) this isn't discrimination but it can encourage self-selection into or out of the group; 2) If tech firms, or a segment of the tech industry as a larger entity (e.g., rails, node, etc.) promote themselves, recruit, and try to be cool by sponsoring a bunch of drinking events, they'll attract programmers who like drinking events, and that will become part of the culture of the company and/or industry, since that's what brought them together, what they bonded over, and what they have in common outside of work. 3) There are other (a)venues to facilitate socialization (ice cream, coffee, etc.) including things like pizza or bowling where alcohol can be a part of it, but isn't the main event. Just like drinking, no one thing is for everyone, but that's ok. Consider it a venn diagram, where some in the industry seem to be only filling one circle.
