This is such a toughie. There is so much research coming out that's demonstrating the horrendous impact social media is having on teen's mental health.

At the same time, I'm a firm believer it's important to give teens their freedom and autonomy.

That said, would you let your kids smoke cigarettes, do drugs, drink a lot of alcohol? Can we reliably say that social media isn't as bad or worse?

I think one problem that we are all backtracking post-Covid. so many parents who never wanted their kids to go online were forced to do that during the pandemic because it was the only way for them to learn and socialize. So how do we say, it was ok before, but it's not Ok now. We recognize we let you do this before, but now we're setting a limit for xyz reason.

One thing you may want to remember is that boundaries are love. So if you really feel that this is endangering your child and you feel equipped to set a healthy boundary, than go ahead and by all means do it!

You say "I wouldn't want my child to feel disconnected from their peers," but I have some serious doubts as to whether social media actually really makes us more connected. Aren't they going to be more connected to their peer if they go on a hike together as opposed to send each other Tik Tok videos of people doing a shit on the wall challenge?

Ultimately, social media is addictive and I think things that cause addiction go in a special category.

First of all, I'd research as much as you can about the impact of social media and share this in detail with your teen. Ask them how they feel about healthy limits and explore together what these limits could be.

I'd also consider bringing other parents in on the limit setting. Maybe you could suggest that your PTA host a meeting about this. If all the parents ban together, than it will be less of something that only YOUR teen can do.

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but I do believe that knowledge is power and the more knowledge you can share and explore together with your teen together, the better.

Last not least, if you limit your teens social media usage, you should limit your own as well. It's not fair to ask them to do something you are not doing yourself.

I am going to write more on this topic because it's a huge one and is impacting all parents with teens (video games too by the way)

I don't see it this way. You just have to see what criminals get away with in Chicago. There is almost no prosecution of gun crimes. People get laughable sentences or none at all.
Nice to see this open sourced as devices like this have existed underground since it can be used for card cheating/stacking as well.
That's fair. I was just using trees as an example. Tree-like might be a better characterization. Point is: there's a reason why fully connected structures aren't very common, and why systems tend to form hubs.

I got a free OSS license with very little effort for my OSS project with only a few stars (and a few hundred users in the VS Code marketplace).

The process to renew was super easy too, although I ended up just buying it so I could use it at work too.
that would be a trade secret and as a magician I won't disclose in the open forum.
Ah, right. My mistake.
this is where playing a team sport like basketball (where all the players are "equal" to start) can give you useful intuition about natural hierarchies. on a team (makeshift or otherwise) players naturally sort themselves out by roles and capabilities dynamically, without explicitly deciding or planning everything out before hand. you quickly figure out who can shoot, drive, pass, defend, etc. on offense, one person typically has the best ball-handling (dribbling and passing) skills, so that's the person who "leads", but often someone else is better at scoring, so that person "leads" the scoring effort. someone else anchors the defense and will literally command people to shift around on the fly.

while hierarchical, it's fluid and dynamic, so more like the idealized "flat" hierarchy that's become such a fashionable term.
I know the sky is falling, but this seems really speculative to me. Maybe so speculative that it misleads the reader.
Money buys you voting rights in some proof-of-stake implementations that give governance rights to stakers. Ethereum's doesn't do that. Its stakers have no more governance rights than miners.
Sure, movable feasts are a thing too.

But what's the actual value proposition of having a simple regular calendar if all of the important dates that people care about move around on it all the time? Sure, maybe you always know what date it is, but now you don't know what's happening on that date. The end result is the same level of complexity, it's just that now the date numbers are useless.
No, this is just a SEC vs CFTC turf war. Neither is willing to concede the "territory" to the other; the only notable part here is that the SEC still doesn't think ETH is settled. It's a minor TV interview, not something "huge".

Keycloak handles both authentication and authorization and they are tightly coupled. Cerbos solely focuses on authorization and is capable of integrating with any authentication method that is already existing in your application.
But regardless, you need to weigh those risks against the enjoyment and psychological benefit that owners derive from pet ferrets, just like with pets of any other species.

I need do no such thing, especially when the argument is one logical step away from "but ma freedumbs!". Or whataboutism, I haven't decided. But "yeah, we might lose an endangered species or two, but what about my needs?" is what I'm reading here.
Great point. The picture you paint seems generally like the ancient world. In Rome, malaria, unsanitary apartment buildings burning down, highway men if you travel by road, pirates if by sea, everyone was sick (I vaguely recall Cicero mentioning another senator suffering from diarrhea soiling himself in public) and the bread you ate wore down your teeth. Do you happen to know if the Romans thought that these things were especially worse on campaign (wouldn't doubt it at all)?
Not the OP, but permanent record of past events is definitely a technology, regardless if the underlying medium is papyrus or a solid state drive. Much like a weapon covers a wide spectrum of sophistication, from a crude wooden club to HIMARS.

For vast majority of our species' existence, we had no ability to record events permanently, and, as the OP says, this technology enabled the first states to collect taxes and grow beyond a certain natural modest size.
Wonderful! What country was this in?
> without having to think about it or count knuckles.

Why is this constraint necessary? If you can even so much as think about it or count knuckles (let alone that you happen to have memorized the number of days per month), then this calendar is useful.
That's quite a whim. It's been the plan since 2014.
>EU is going to fail, it was never a good idea to begin with as it was dishonest from the start.

That's like saying that chemotherapy is not necessary because cancer is not a good idea to begin with. We need active action to end the EU. It's made of a clump of bureaucrats and oligarchs who are separated from the common rabble by several levels of people and who won't give up their seat ever.
At some point, everyone's freedom ends where someone else's begin. If you want a continent-size government (which, let's be honest, in a world of superpowers you do), you'll have to compromise with another 450k citizens and their representatives. Americans manage to do it, after all.

Also, EUParliament gives us a direct say in practice. People worried about the democratic deficit in the EU should push their own governments to relinquish more powers from Council to Parliament.
Renewables and storage are anti-fragile. Constantly fluctuating, their capacity to deal with interruptions is regularly tested and measured. They're also small, so any individual failure is easy to substitute.

Nuclear plants are quasi-stable. They can work properly for years, lulling their users into a false sense of security. But they do have occasional failures, resulting in massive outages.

That sounds good too. It does not need to be either/or.

However, sanctioning them won't protect the millions (billions?) of international people who are being profiled though. It's a lot easier to identify, blackmail, impersonate, predict, locate, and anything else a government body might want to do to someone when you have all this information.
I could see someone using this on stage in Penn & Teller's Fool Us. The camera hidden in the table, on the table an elaborate box that never comes into contact with the cards, is used as some elaborate red herring (maybe you have to knock on it, or draw something from it), but really serves to hide a small screen.

Now you only have to come up with some impressive card trick that seems impossible to pull off with conventional methods.

Of course you could also come up with a better method to communicate the information than an ipad screen. Maybe a tactile signal.
Honest question, what makes you more qualified? You talk as if there is "some" desired state for nature to be in, and that you know what it is.

To be clear, I have no issue with you lobbying your viewpoint, but I find it takes a bit of hubris to pretend to do it on behalf of "nature".
Neither of those seems novel - privately funded research has a long history - so I guess the argument is that they might have less overhead than other payment mechanisms? Given the skill requirements to assess whether someone is qualified to work on the problem or has made real progress, I’m also curious what value you get from a blockchain versus any other form of organization since the hard part is getting people from the same pool of human reviewers.

> Is BTC a security?

Probably not in the traditional sense. The difference Bitcoin has to most cryptocurrencies is that it was specifically designed with no "premined" blocks and no preordained rewards. In contrast, a lot of projects sold tokens through an "ICO" with a promise of a future project developed against it. ICOs are basically securities, because you're buying the token without actually any guarantee that the project delivers on what it needs to deliver on for the value to change.

In contrast, again, Bitcoin was just offered as a cryptocurrency, from the start. The first block encoded a current event to distinguish the fact that there aren't any rewards already allocated to creators. It was also launched with the complete product available from the start (sans network upgrades).

Note: I'm not saying that Bitcoin is good or anything. I'm just distinguishing between it and most other tokens. Bitcoin has governance systems in place and other systems that make it "more security like" but clearly the SEC chair doesn't seem to believe it crosses that line.
Yeah, I recommend a look at Nir Eyal's book "Hooked." It's pretty great at describing this phenomena.

> The only major, lasting conquest made by the Roman Empire was the conquest of Britain

If you consider Augustus to be the beginning of the Empire, then there were many lasting conquests under the Empire (parts of Hispania, Pannonia, Africa, etc). But even if you don't, the Empire conquered and held Dacia for over 150 years and held many parts of Armenia for long periods of time.

> mobilized the public for total war, over and over again

I'm not sure I would consider anything later than the Punic Wars to be a state of total war. At no point was Rome or Italy actually threatened in the Mithridatic Wars, Caesar's conquest of Gaul, etc. Slaves were not mobilized and property not confiscated for the state. The only times total war actually happened in the late Republic-early Empire - the period of Rome's greatest territorial gains - was during existential invading threats like the Cimbri or the Pannonian revolt. None of these were a result of Rome losing a battle in a war of aggression.

One of the reasons Christianity is considered a reason for why the Empire fell is absolutely the culture of war and nationalism that pagan Rome had though.

AVAX/SOL/DOT fix ETH/BC fixing environmental concerns; that's primarily referring to PoS and different variants, right?

It's worth noting that while it fixes the environmental aspect, it seems to reduce claims made regarding decentralization, wouldn't you agree? If so, one of the core tenants of crypto (arguably /the/ most significant) gets effectively traded off in favor of fixing environmental concerns. I'd imagine that would make non-BC/ETH crypto an unappealing for some as BC/ETH is currently for the environmentally concerned.

I've not heard a convincing argument regarding the ability of PoS, or any of its variations, to prevent centralization in any significant way. Do you have any references you'd recommend?
Here lies an unique property of semiconductor fabrication: unlike other resources like grains where you can just feed in different raw materials to a factory and get your desired output, it is very difficult to reconfigure a fab workflow to use even a slightly different process, and downright impossible to switch between generations (5 nm to 22 nm) without near complete replacement of every equipment.

You won't be able to directly increase production of what's actually really hard to get at the moment (microcontrollers and small functional devices using "ancient" process nodes) by decreasing production of cutting edge processes
> A late model diesel truck capable of "rolling coal" almost certainly has an emissions defeat device or tune, or has otherwise been modified. These devices are not always about trying to extract the performance lost to emissions control.

However I tuned my diesel pickup to increase efficiency and torque which included what is known as an “EGR Defeat” and a “Texas Cat”. It’s registered outside of an enforcement area, however just for grins I ran it through an emissions check and dyno and it passed with flying colors without tweaking it for emissions. That’s because between the “tune”, the turbo, and now-mandatory everywhere low-sulfur diesel the emissions are way reduced. Mine is a pre-DEF model. I imagine it will produce substantial NOx if I gun it on a hot day with a heavy load, but that also results in 3MPG performance so I just don’t do that except when absolutely necessary.

Not everyone is trying to choke people with black smoke, some of us “ranchers" just want to stop strangling on pointless micro-regulation that doesn’t fit the situation.
Cycles of History: On Jody Rosen’s “Two Wheels Good”
Because many customers have their own expertise in the database system of their own choice. A shop that has hired Oracle DBA's doesn't want to hire Postgres folks. A MySQL based place doesn't want to hire Oracle folks. And they already have built extensive data-management processes around their choice of database systems and have the in-house experience to manage their database system in a wide variety of platforms.

If you to sell a packaged, deployable product to the widest market, yet want to minimise support, you leverage the expertise that the customer already possesses.

This is probably more of a consideration in the business enterprise space than some simple normal end-consumer SaaS, so I am not saying this approach makes sense everywhere.
With apologies to those for whom this is just dreamstuff...

A long time ago I was trying various therapists to get help with some personal problems, and one of them did something that they called "germ-line regression". This was like a hypnotic past life regression, but rather than going back through previous incarnations, it was going back through the genetic line of my ancestors.

We went back to a man who lived in Europe at the time when the Romans were making inroads up there. His name was something like "Otygh" and he was a huge "Conan the Barbarian"-looking dude, biggest and toughest guy in his village. He was pretty much the top of the local food chain and social hierarchy, no one above him but the gods themselves.

And then the Romans show up...

They're short (not too short, there were standards, but shorter than the barbarians), smelly (garlic eaters, eh?), weak and (seemingly) stupid, they're like beast-men, orcs. They should be easy to defeat, every other living thing has been, but damned if they don't keep winning fights! They always win!? WTF!? How is this possible? I can't exaggerate the rage and frustration Otygh felt at losing to these Romans. It was totally incomprehensible.

For what it's worth, which may not be much, Otygh loved battle. Far from terrifying, it was exhilarating, right up until he started losing and the Romans torched his village and killed or enslaved everybody he knew and loved. Don't shed any tears for him, he was a murderous dickhead who did the very same thing to other villages.

The Daily Mail's sidebar is trash, selected articles sometimes have a high level.

They seem to use their network of paparazzi/journalists to actually research facts on the ground. It is paid for by the fact that 95% of the content is indeed trash that sells.

But the 5% that isn't trash contains classic what/when/where/how style facts in great detail. For select topics like the trucker protests in Canada the Daily Mail is one of the best publications.

No hierarchy means naturally-made ones since naturally some will led, some will follow however there is a missed point: a thing is a society at a whole, another is company.

Neoliberals think that anything can be reduced to management, finance, that's not the case. As States can't be treated like companies so companies can't be treated like society/democracy.

The society have a purpose: exists, living enjoying life keeping improving a generation after another. A company have a purpose: making money offering something in return. People in a society are part of it, workers in a company are just individuals here to earning their needed income. They are not "part of the family" as some hope to munge more work from them...
Humans with penetrating wounds to the torso don't fight much longer. Such wounds can be created with sharpened sticks (as well as a variety of slightly more advanced weapons), while preventing such wounds requires armor of complicated manufacture. Humans with concussive damage to the head tend to stop defending themselves, which also means they don't fight much longer. Such wounds can be created by anything dense, such as rocks or big sticks (as well as a variety of slightly more advanced weapons), while preventing such wounds requires very modern high-quality helmets. Once steel and higher-quality swords and polearms came along, a variety of new types of wounds became more likely, many of which also quickly led to cessation of fighting on their victims' part.

Even unarmed fights are usually shorter than portrayed in popular fiction. If ancient battles lasted days, that's because they were organized to move combatants around and avoid actual combat until advantage could be taken. Melee between two groups of armed humans could be over in less than a minute. Note that the most common way for melee to cease would be for the losing side to retreat (perhaps without those of their number who had already succumbed), which is viable when ranged weapons aren't used.
