The earlier they make their experiences, the earlier they can develop a mature response to abusive stimuli - if taught about the nature of those stimuli. I'm not advocating for giving developing brains blind access to predatory products. I'm advocating to teach them a healthy-as-possible relation with them.

And the reasons adults suck at this is just that: because we were never taught to deal with it, because our schools curriculae are in complete disconnect of the world we've built within the last 40 years. The mechanisms of attention are by no means rocket science, and kids are not braindead. Those who are generally able to understand and then recognize the dangers will have the ability to do so from young age, and the ones who don't have that skillset early on will never develop it anyway.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I read the same fact in "through the language glass" by Guy Deutscher.
Is there any reason why the new law would make it harder for the nurses to do that?
"In the U.S. legal system, a fiduciary duty describes a relationship between two parties that obligates one to act solely in the interest of the other. The party designated as the fiduciary owes a legal duty to a principal, and strict care must be taken to ensure that no conflict of interest arises between the fiduciary and the principal."

Musk could never put someone elses interests ahead of his own. Impossible.
The word Farang actually derives from the Franks, so it (at least originally) refers to Europeans.

(Added later:) The word "foreigner" is unrelated, it derives from Latin, so from before the emergence of the Franks.
The article offers the literal translation "move compulsion". No single word translation, alas.
Languages like German and Dutch simply have more freedom to combine words into longer compound words (see this 63-letter example [1]).

About your last questions, I recommmend "through the language glass" by Guy Deutscher
I found that she likes watching Blippi and that there are specially produced Blippi episodes on Amazon Kids, but I couldn’t find those videos anywhere to download nor could I subscribe to Amazon Kids! (It’s not available in my country!)

There is a Blippi stage musical on YouTube she watched already more than five or six times. I also see that it actually helps her language acquisition.
Shopify also flags orders (even if they are fully paid) when the customer's email contains the shop's name. I'm sure their logic is that it helps cut down on fraud.

I prefer the system of using a basic abbreviation in the email address to avoid these types of filters but still make the email easily traceable later. Say your name is joe smith and you're buying from Sports Online. Something like Joe_spo_smith@yourdomain.com works well for later confirming whom you gave the address to.

I like this approach because one doesn't have to track all of the catch-all emails made on the fly, since finding out who you originally gave that email to is just a matter of searching your past email and noticing that "spo" looks more like those old Sports Online emails and not the new spam from discounted wholesale fancy rugs.

Apart from seeing who a company has on-sold your information to (or more rarely had a staff member steal their database), it's also an easy way to see who has been hacked.

One other reason not to use something like SportsOnline@yourdomain.com is that some websites exist merely as credential honeypots and those types are usually aware of this approach and will then typically exploit the catch-all for spamming. The shady All on MP3 service was known for doing this. (I'm pretty sure that site existed solely to exploit the fact that most people used the same password for everthing.)
Also geoblocking.
For me, the best small side projects involve some kind of porting (between protocols, OSs or CPUs), contribution of a fix for a visible but mysterious bug, or revival of codebases in bad shape, especially when they're unfamiliar and written by others. You can learn a lot from a software engineering culture that's different from yours or small, feasible projects that allow you to understand the bits and bytes of something unfamiliar in a fun and useful way. These projects are great to develop flexibility and general problem solving intuition. And getting familiar with the 20% of an idea, a protocol, a programming language, etc' that's used 80% of the time in real-world use cases, is often enough.

I agree. I remember finding a few valuable insights reading the design doc, but overall I don’t find the interaction feels snappy enough for my tastes. It’s too flat, too sharp, and doing too much with animation. I want the UI interaction to feel good overall but be completely transparent in the experience.

If you compare the current homepage for material ui and bootstrap, material ui has so many rough edges whereas bootstrap just looks simple, we’ll composed, and easy to interact with. It doesn’t seem to me like the scaling of material UI is quite right or that each component cohesively works with the rest. I feel this with every Google product, there is always just something off about how everything fits together.

Yes. Storing data on my computer is also a very bad thing.
I think this is exactly backwards. Kids "believe in" Santa Claus in the same sense they believe in school and picnics - they listen for reindeer noises and hope to get a glimpse of him, and as far as they are concerned he exists in the same corporeal universe. It is only adults who possess the cognitive compartmentalization to "believe in" absurdities like the transubstantiation of wine into the blood of Christ, without it ever occurring to them to wonder what blood type it is, or whether it might be a useful source for transfusions.

What's actually disturbing is that more than 90% of the time this would be a "no knock" raid with paramiliterized police smashinng down the door, tossing in flash-bang grenades - the works. No knock should be reserved for extreme situations, not the norm.
That's a very reasonable response. I'd add another thought: A site (e.g., Twitter) could define "off-topic" as anything that goes against its Terms of Service or Code of Conduct (CoC), which would probably result in exactly where we are now. Same problem with a lot of similar ideas - "Spam? Anything that violates our CoC is spam"; "Degrades the experience for the user? We feel that violating our CoC degrades the user experience"; and so on. Not a problem easily (or even able to be, IMO) solved.
A similar thing that's been bothering me is the meme about "The difference between poisonous and venomous is if you eat it and you die, it's poisonous, if it bites you and you die, it's venomous", with endless discussions about how it's wrong to call snakes poisonous. In reality, if you check the dictionary, poison is "any harmful substance", while venom is "a poison synthesized by an animal, usually for hunting or self-defence".

The etymology of the words kind of sort of supports the meme, but I never managed to find historical evidence of the difference in meaning being as outlined. Both come from Latin, so it's not the case like cow vs beef where the Germanic word gets a new meaning because the language adopts a French word alongside it. Additionally no other European language makes that distinction and it's extremely rare for a concept to exist only in English.

I've tried to hunt down where this confusion started and it seems to be some meme English teachers repeat, like "i before e except after c". Australians in particular are very invested in it.
Even teachers use Whatsapp to communicate with pupils nowadays.

Here in Finland, from 13 and up, it's pretty much total social exclusion and severely reduced ability to participate in school work if you don't have a smartphone. Teenagers without phones is pretty much uneard of, apart from in some religious circles.

The thing about those teenagers is that they rarely meet outside school. Covid made damn sure parents are somewhat paranoid about social contacts, and having people over is still pretty rare. The result is teenagers communicating pretty much all the time, but it's all done over social media.
Nuclear power still costs more. It's clean and consistent but almost absurdly expensive compared to solar, wind, pumped storage, batteries and interconnectors.
When I travelled to the Philippines, I was amazed at how sausages were called "longganitsa", which is connected to how they're called not in Italian, but in the half-dying northern Italian dialect my grandparents spoke, "luganega". Turns out it comes from Latin "lucanica", i.e. referring to its origin in the southern Italian region of Lucania. From Latin it went into Spanish, and from Spanish to Filipino during colonization. I also found the same word in Greek.
That would also be an issue for the SEC, not the FTC.
WTF just go to a vet.
From my own observations, I have the feeling that noise is not very good to me. In the sense that it increases my blood pressure significantly and also puts stress on me. Is it possible to verify that somehow? Like are there devices that measure blood pressure and/or stress hormones frequent and accurate enough to see the effect?
As someone also with two young kids, my hope is to instill the idea that they can and should use the internet for their own expression and communication, but that they need to do it with tools which puts them in control, and not the other way around.

There are "indie web" alternatives to the big social networks which everyone can use. Social networks without the algorithms that make you doom scrolling, messaging apps that do not track you or read your messages for ads, photo apps that do not have likes and do not gamify karma-whoring, and so on.

To make it even better, these apps are not exclusive to smartphone platforms, so they won't need a smartphone just to participate.

At least here in Germany, even my non-techy friends that are totally addicted to Instagram and Facebook don't publish anything with their kids. I am hoping that by the time their kids have grown a bit, these tools will be more popularized and accessible so that their kids don't fall into the same trap as their parents, and perhaps even the parents take the opportunity to do the switch themselves.
You feel like plugging your service, you should disclose it's yours.
Wait, no ... Abou in arabic means "father of ...", so it's in a possessive construct. It needs the other word to make sense. The "ou" is just an approximation, other spellings include Abo, Abu, Aboo, Bou, Ba ...

Whole of North Africa is filled to the brim with Abou-xyz family names, even first names (Abu Madyan "Boumedienne" in Algeria for example) and also many many such names in the other parts of the arab world.
We see coloured smoke come out of the chimney. What the cardinals said is all speculation... even if they later leak something.

To my ear, the most simple reading is (1) the board seat came with conditions (2) Elon didn't accept them.

Twitter management undoubtedly has unresolved tensions, tense status quos, factions...

As always with online forums, anyone hitched to the "free speech absolutist" wagon loses eventually. That clears the way for the other camps to gain influence.

Elon's stock purchase has already upended truces, created a rally within previously defeated camps and a circling of wagons within previously superior camps. These are probably where the conditions came from.

Great drama.
"Get them young and addicted to the next hit", The digital drugs companies said. Why do you think they call them 'users' all the time.

If the effects of the digital drug Facebook™ or Instagram™ has worn off this last billion addicts, then the new digital crack / cocaine, TikTok™ will onboard the next billion.

Now the twist has taken another turn for the worse, after what happened in this story about its glorified recommendation algorithm [0] that dictates what is seen and unseen and how it manipulates its users addicted to it.

After looking at that [0] and this post, I would prefer NOT to be in the crowd of addicts to suggest that: "TikTok is the best thing to have happened to the Internet" [1]. That goes for all of them.

Once this one wears off, on to the next hit.

This can be remedied with proper grade separation - when there are no crossings, no honking is necessary.
There was a lot of public discussion in nerdy economics circles about the best way to privatize the USSRs industries. Some of the factors they discussed might surprise you. Compared with say Poland there was a lot of emphasis on not having the industries under national control or ownership even though that's not strictly required for 'economic efficiency'.

What really is the difference between an authoritarian dictator controlling Iraq's oil (oh, and all the other bits of Iraq the west doesn't care about) and selling it to the west and getting support and funding from the West in return to build palaces full of gold. Versus Oligarchs, controlling even more strongly the bits of Russia the west cares about and allowing Russians to feel like they control the other bits. But only the oligarchs get the palaces full of gold, and probably in a proper country, in fact why not a superyacht, that's less obviously not in Russia, even though it's clearly not in Russia.

BP owns 20% of Rosneft (do you know how BP started? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bp-and-iran-the-forgotten-histo...)

But wait, this doesn't feel right, you have strong, patriotic leadership (like Iraq) and (like Iraq) your strong leader kills people that look and sound just like you to Americans. And Americans make a lot of noise about that while still buying your oil. Take that America. And (like Iraq) suddenly you're the bad guy when you thought you had a working relationship and power because you had the resources. And (like Iraq) USA is going to own you even more once you finish fucking yourself up.

Dont forget the core of python is also a framework-ish :p imho
You can for example start create a server with pure python, witout any framework.

I'm a bit baffled on your stance not liking frameworks. If you really now python then using frameworks should be do-able... And long term you notice it makes achieving your goals easier.

So, not liking frameworks, makes you less efficient of an engineer...
Tip: Try some frameworks, pick and choose the one you like. And learn from there.

Also: Try other programming languages. Its about the concepts, not a specific language.

But if you know how to program: The oppertunities are endless... You can work in any field, any domain. BOOM
Glad I'm not alone on that. I tried youtube kids before showing it to my daughter and I was shocked at the kind of content it was selecting. I was hoping for interesting videos, more like a video version of a kids wikipedia or something, with an educational purpose. But everything is about dumb jokes, toys, songs, and consumerism in general. At least for english speaking kids there are a few other good resources available

"Fixing" Twitter is a much less well defined goal than building an electric car that's commercially viable or space tech that's operationally reliable.

Current evidence suggests Musk is both capable of building industry defining electric car and space tech companies and incapable of "fixing" his own tweets to the extent that they stop getting him into trouble and losing him board seats.
The issues you are mentioning are very important. I use tech in the same way you do. Trying to get rid of tracking, Google services etc. But this is our free choice.

Forcing that lifestyle upon other people like children will not succeed. They will see it as a personal crusade of you. As soon as they are old enough, they will get their smartphones and use social media heavily.

Better talk to them about the issues of smartphones and social media and let them decide. If they care about privacy, great! Help them to configure their devices.
If not, let them go. You cannot control their lifes forever.
2FA has never been an issue with me. If it's a one-time thing (like signing up for a website) the wait doesn't bother me, and no services have ever rejected me because I didn't respond within five minutes. If it's a recurring thing, I can always whitelist the domain, the IP, the sender, or all three.

Even the senders with pools of mail servers hasn't been an issue---the email will eventually get through. As far as I can tell, in the fifteen years I've been using greylisting, that has just not been an issue.

When I first started with greylisting, I set the embargo time (minimum time to reject emails) to an hour. I later dropped it down to 25 minutes, but that's just me being a bit over-cautious. Just a one-time temporary reject is enough to filter out something like 80% of what I catch with 25 minutes.
At first I thought it might have been a bug, but now that I tested other parameters I see that "_rss=1" isn't just ignored but rather the http response is a redirect to an rss-less path. This doesn't occur with other arbitrary query strings.

This has been the primary way I made my shopping on ebay for over 10 years.
None of the existing tools ebay offers compare to a local Newsboat client that alerts you when:

1. A rare item you've been looking for has been listed.

2. A Buy-It-Now price thershold has been met.

3. An auction is ending in say 6 hours and its price is in the accepted range.

I can think of no convincing reasons why ebay might want to kill this feature intentionally:
Rate limiting has already been in place in case that's what bothered them. In fact, the search rss rate limiting was less restrictive than their official (more advance) find-API. Is this an attempt to get rid of users who should have used the find-API? Maybe, probably not though.

If there isn't already an open source translation service that takes an ebay search URL as its input and returns an RSS feed as its result, I will try to write one.
"It's just a prank bro" would be inexcusable for someone mocking up a screenshot to make it look like someone was sending racist DMs to get them fired, or something on that level. But this is not anything like that, it was a funny comment in a forum where funny comments are made that was taken at face value by a credulous reporter who should've done their job better. It wasn't hateful, offensive or dangerous.

In addition, you've completely altered what the author of the blog post was saying. They're not using the dismissive "It's just a prank bro", they've actually written quite a thoughtful post explaining the context behind the incident. They didn't apologise but they didn't need to.
I mean, that's basically what freemium is for b2b - want to unlock features that get your job done faster? pay up.
My first guess would have been Web development with Django but if that's a no you might want to give DevOps a try. Of course, it will include a lot of tooling and other technologies (nearly impossible to do it without knowing about Docker/Kubernetes) but people who can develop DevOps tooling are in high demand.

Last but not least you can look into automated testing. Not the most interesting job for many but Python is widely used there.

The first thing I check for in new DNS code is how the name decompression works, because it is a surprisingly subtle part of the DNS: you have to have a way to stop chasing compression pointers forever, either by limiting the number of pointers you will follow, or by requiring them to point earlier in the message. It is very common to find DNS code that has a denial of service vulnerability in its name decompression; it is one of the best examples of a packet parsing security vulnerability that is not about buffer overflows.

Value is a self defining concept. It's what an individual want.

The value of a society is the weighted sum of values based on individual power.

Amazon is creating a lot of small value to a lot of people by delivering goods next day.

People on wall street are creating a lot of value for wealthy and powerful people.

An engineer can automate a lot of value creation that was previously done by a large number of people, allowing companies to have a shot at making a lot of money, hence why they're paid more.

Some of those powerful and wealthy people got rich by providing value, some of them got rich by exploiting the government's centralised power, its corruption and the possibility of stealing value from all the taxpayers.

A scam is a crime on par with stealing or charging taxes. Stealing doesn't create value, it just transfer wealth.

Free tiers are an essential; when settling on a service I will try many, in parallel with our current system. If I'm happy it is better I will switch,. when either immediately, or after a short period results in us being paid at a mid tier. If I have to pay to try, and find out if it is any good and works for our specific cases, I'll try it after competitors - so probably won't get round to it - as something else probably meets our needs first.
