We went the other way and I'm so happy we did. Some think we're bad parents but we work all week and don't want our weekends working as chauffeur so we don't allow our three kids to play spring/summer sports. We have a few friend who do and it just looks miserable.
The weird thing about those people is that they probably are self-professed conservative pro-economics rationalists. And yet nuclear has absolutely no economic argument right now and hasn't really for a decade.

There's this inertia that the pro-nuclear people have that they think that people oppose a nuclear just being these these Fringe green nutsos.

In reality, advocation of nuclear power is The realm of the rapid wackos and zealots. There simply isn't an economic rational case that's supported for 10 years now

Unlike social media/smartphone usage, divorce rates don't suddenly spike in 2010 to match the spike in childhood mental health problems. Despite social media companies best efforts, there is no reasonable alternative hypothesis for what happened globally in 2010 to cause the problem.

That's always what I think when I see adults complaining that they hate their phone. It's just a portable computer, you control how and when you interact with it.
That is nonsense, I was at school with mobile phones before the iPhone (before touchscreens, non-Java-applet apps, 3G, etc.) and it absolutely would've been even then. I mean maybe you'd have gotten away with it being active on MSN, but it'd have been a problem for sure (you arrange to meet someone and then just go there and hope they show up at the right time and don't want to change plans?) and I think far more so today without even considering social media like Instagram & TikTok & whatever that 'everyone' is using.

(They weren't allowed actually at school though, weren't even supposed to be in your locker, so I always think it's a bit weird when it occasionally pops up debate about banning them from schools or that X school has banned them - curious when and why they allowed them, or maybe they were just always allowed to begin with?)
Saudi Arabia lives in the same trap China does with respect to the dollar: they own so much dollar-denominated wealth that they have no interest in intentionally destroying the dollar. They may sensibly diversify going forward, but diversification is a long way from the kind of everything-must-go selloff of dollar assets that would be required to harm the value of the dollar.
Yes, see `:help iskeyword`

Different file types can have different values for this. For example in clojure / and : are commonly used, so they are added to `iskeyword`. In .clj files "w" navigates across `:person/first-name` as one word.

Also FYI if you didn't know and are having that problem with URLs, capital E and W navigate across vim WORDS, which is defined as all non-whitespace characters.

Apple switched to (and largely invented) ARMv8/AArch64 in the middle of that, which is very different from the ARMv7 they started with.

> The world is getting off of oil

This is true, but also misleading. The fact we're getting off of oil, doesn't mean we're doing it fast enough, or that less oil is being consumed today than in the past. At least when measured in TWh of oil consumption per year, we're still up and to the right [1].

[1] https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/oil-consumption-by-countr...

Consumer vehicles are increasingly electrifying, but that shouldn't be used as a metric to assume oil consumption is decreasing. At least 4 reasons why the correlation isn't that strong:

- Consumer vehicles are only a percentage of the transportation sector. A lot of oil is used by the transportation industry. Electric trucks are still not widely available. Electric trains for cargo aren't growing quickly enough. Electric planes and ships are still not viable for transport.

- Electricity can be generated from oil. Assuming that more electric vehicles means less petrol consumption ignores the fact the increased electricity demand could be covered by petrol. What's correct here is to both grow electric vehicle usage, and production with renewables.

- The economy and population keep growing. If half of cars sold are electric, but you're selling twice the number of cars total vs 10 years ago, you're selling the same amount of petrol cars.

- There's plenty of demand for oil not as a source of energy, but as a material (for plastics, asphalt, other chemicals, etc)
I use SoloSlides for Google Photos. It's free to try, but I ended up purchasing it to get the randomisation feature. I've created a separate Google account where I add pictures that I want to show on the iPad.

It's fairly stable. Only really run into issues when the internet goes out and then comes back later, sometimes this would make the app stop showing photos.

If we're to pass any sort of legislation, it shouldn't be against the kids, they're the victims of exploitation by greedy monopoly/oligopoly algorithms, we should legislate against companies like Meta, Snapchat, etc. the TikTok ban unless they sold off to an American firm that could be subject to US legislation was actually not the worst idea in the world (albeit I highly doubt the current Congress would've actually done anything constructive after the theoretical sale)

I've had a Lyft driver in San Jose, CA, who was not able to navigate a closed freeway onramp. The GPS map told him to turn onto the onramp, but it was closed in real life. So he drove past it, the GPS routed him to make four right turns and come back around to the same onramp. He just kept going in that circle over and over like a robot, coming back around again and again to the same closed onramp. I'm not sure if he expected it to magically open up for him or what.

So I told him to either end the ride or follow my verbal instructions, basically take the side street up to the next freeway onramp. Once he got there, he completed the rest of the ride successfully.

MySQL has had pluggable storage since at least 2010. A decade and a half later, PostgreSQL still doesn't (although I believe some forks do).

PostgreSQL is a good piece of software. And really good pieces of software -- git, Linux, Redis, tend to collect ecosystems.
I don't think you're parsing the dictionary correctly. Using "turf" to refer exclusively to artificial turf is not supported by the dictionary you cite, and is unnecessarily confusing and distracting. In the future, just be explicit and use the term "artificial turf".
The Xperia has/had a proprietary Sony-Ericsson OS.

But your point is moot anyhow; Sony can’t innovate. So they’ll regulate their way back to awesomeness?
Moderately, or at least, not socially dead. Only played video games on weekends, including a Minecraft server with friends, which in hindsight still became a bit of an addiction I would've been better without. I was popular in college, and I did have a phone then but barely used it. Having a Facebook account mattered in college purely for class groups, events, and group chats where people coordinated stuff. One thing I don't know is what replaced that (if anything).

So basically, having a PC at home was more than enough.

Gasoline is the most-consumed petroleum product in the United States. In 2022, consumption of finished motor gasoline averaged about 8.78 million b/d (369 million gallons per day), which was about 43% of total U.S. petroleum consumption.
There is no “internet”, there are thousands of digital media outlets and digital products, each following their own business model. Ads is not the only model available, but is the most popular one, by far.

So another question can be asked: why advertisement is the most popular business model for digital media?

Personally, I think the reason is simple: because it is the easiest business model to apply. Other models require customer research, market segmentation, solving technology barriers to capture payments, and many other things you need to solve just to start getting any revenue. With ads you can monetise pretty much anything that gets the eye traffic, all using super simple plugins and little to no investments.
Apple iOS 18 Safari is going to allow "AI" customization of any website, that might allow removal of the recommendations panel.

Incoming cease and desist in...3...2...1
Nerd dad here. This is hard. You can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink. Meta Quest is the only tech that's being used as a tool in my house. Everything else are used as toys. I've even tried to restrict games heavily and it still was tough. Basically, some kids will not seek out education things even if they are installed. This was not my upbringing. I would eventually bore of games and looked for educational things like Dangerous Creatures, Microsoft Bob, Encarta, etc. But I am not seeing the same in my kids.
What would be the incentive for an advertiser to spend money on bots to juice the click-through rate of their ads? More ad-clicks mean more money spent on ad networks, and bots are notoriously stingy customers, all the more so if they are your own.

Your assumption is that the impact per infection is equal or worse.

I think that there's no real basis to assume that, especially when young. I would expect the distribution of flu complications (externally validated, not based on self-reports) is actually worse.
> why buy the console at all?

It’s easier. I don’t have to fiddle with drivers. Or settings. Or choosing which card to upgrade to when. Or debugging mismatches. I don’t have to have the OS + Steam/Epic/whatever + games.

The games are written to what I have and I don’t need to worry about it. The OS is completely built around playing games and making it easy for me to acquire them and I don’t have to think about any of it.

I had the years of building gaming PCs and messing with all of that and doing all the research. And I had fun. And at this point in my life I just don’t wanna deal with it I just wanna play a nice game.
yeah, I limit video game time for my kids but don't take it away as that's how they play with their friends currently. So outside time and sports during the day and I let them have game time with friends after dinner. Seems to be a good balance
Yeah, but they can force the click and use conversion rate to measure the effectiveness of the ad campaign
I'm not sure how they could do any better. AI is enabling the degradation of the public web, and that's what they search.

Pretty soon the web's going to be one big Mikkelsen Twins ebook.
Our solution has been feature flip phones and encouraging the kids to call their friends to talk instead.

I have the legal right to ‘analyze your face’ if you are out in public. Why do you believe that there’s something special about a highly secured, on device FaceID capture that makes it more dangerous than a guy with a camera across the street?
Everyone loves the commons. People refuse to pay for basically any digital good, even if they really want it, and journalism isnt even what people really want. Its the good governance it creates that people want

Of course when the federal government decided to let millions of them in and the local government in Texas decided that it was a problem for them and decided to enforce it themselves, all those people who are so much in favor of local control when it comes to "sanctuary cities" suddenly lost their shit.

Thanks, I emailed Dang to update the url to the “lore” subpage.

The linked website is the official site of the Album owner. The homepage simply shows a countdown clock to the release date of the album originally scheduled for 2103, but the release date/clock is being reduced in real-time based on album purchases.

It's not just kids. I'm literally watching dozens of relationships of
people I know IRL breaking down... depressed and angry teenagers
fighting with parents, couples divorcing, jealousy and suspicion
tearing friendships apart. It's fucked up. Smartphones and social media

and I hope to see an age when all of this is repaired and behind us,
and we can find a kinder, more mature and saner use for technology.
> you know, what if a user missed an ad and wants to go back and see what they missed.

Unrelated, and maybe this actually exists, but with the rise of LED billboards, there have been more than one occasion where a billboard was displaying something and it cycled too fast, or the print was too small.

I would actually be interested in visiting the billboards website that lets me click on the geographical billboard location and show me what it’s been showing.

> legitimate website with a malicious owner.

What... does that mean? A website with a malicious owner is illegitimate by definition. :)

But more to the point, this logic is circular. You're saying PWAs are subject to attack by malicious actors because their users can be attacked by websites controlled by malicious owners. Which is... true. But specious, and true of regular web pages and apps and every other kind of software.

I'm not seeing where you're getting anything novel here at all. If you let people run software written by other people you need some kind of protection against people being fooled by bad software. That is obviously a very hard problem with only imperfect solutions. But those solutions do exist, and that protection exists here in PWAs and needs to be evaded, in a form that is entirely analogous to the way you have to validate a web page you're looking at.

Roughly the same amount of years here, same conclusion.

I'd love to ditch Adobe for an open stack. I've day-dreamed about creating an open alternative to Photoshop many times. It's a daunting task, it would take many years of dedication for reaching even a mediocre competitor to the 90s Photoshop.
The allegations here, if I got it right:

1. One guy who worked for Saudi intelligence knew about the attacks (disputed).

2. 15 of 19 attackers were Saudi nationals (dubious relevance, generally we don’t blame a whole country for crimes committed by individuals from that country).

3. Bin Laden family has close ties to the Saudi royal family, and Al Queda got funded by the Bin Laden family.

My surface-level takeaway is that Saudi royals deserve criticism for associating with the supporters of terrorism. However, I don’t see evidence the Saudi state conspired to commit the 9/11 attacks.
Geez.

US oil is fracked, which means that to get out of the microscopic fissures in the rocks only the lighter stuff comes out.

This makes excellent gasoline. By the way, this is also why we've become a CH4 power house.

Unfortunately, the US runs on diesel. We don't produce much heavy oil so we import it.

net it basically cancels out depending on interest rates, price of oil and who's in charge in DC.

Fracking, anyway, is an economic mirage enabled by cheap credit and expensive oil. Fracking sucks because the wells don't produce much.
