A 4G/5G router creates a "real" WiFi network rather than a personal network.

Hotspotting is great for 1 or 2 devices, but devices are reluctant to connect to a personal hotspot automatically (Apple devices, at least). You have to manually select/tap the hotspot every time, which gets to be a pain when you have multiple devices and you're using it as your daily, primary internet connection.

I might also want to leave the house/hotel room/office for whatever reason with my phone but keep other devices connected. In this case the router can either be fixed in place (and plugged in) or travel with me on battery. Flexibility!

The “automated” isn’t really key. If you read a book, and learn from it, and are able to use that knowledge in other contexts, should you pay a licensing fee? It doesn’t matter if “you” is a human or machine.
>Falling birth rates is a problem in most wealthy industrialized societies.

The most fascinating part of this is that, against income, fertility is a bathtub-shaped curve. The poorest and richest have the most kids, which the middle class drags the whole nation down.

I get the feeling many have this idea that the more educated /career-oriented you are, the more you delay kids or have less of them. But that is not the case, past a certain point. Look up any of your favorite elite celebrities for example and how many kids they have. They might never talk about them, but I’d bet most of who you look up have 3+

"On January 13, Donald Trump became the third President in American history to be impeached and the first President to be impeached twice."
With the expectation of both parents working full time jobs and living in small spaces (at least in big cities like in Japan) - the current state of modern urban life is just not right to have kids. Where are they even going to run around and play.
imo it's the platform's choice to have default-visible or default-sandboxed program outputs and data.

while possible, it is fairly non-trivial for iOS apps to have read/write access to a shared folder where they can drop arbitrary files, which can then be accessed by other apps, or be discovered by the user. it often requires copious permission negotiation handling codepaths by the developer, and a fearlessness of scary permission-warning dialogs by the end-user.

even on modern (commercially popular flavors of) Android which no longer imbibes the "free software" ethos of the linux core the OS was built around, you can't access formerly accessible application sandbox folders without installing third party browsing tools or plugging into a desktop computer to mount the storage, and cross-application sandbox access is similar to iOS.

in the "personal computing way" mentioned by the article (even today on desktop environments, less so on MacOS) program outputs are default-visible, and developers have to go out of their way to firewall or obscure or encrypt it from being accessible by the user or other programs using OS-provided pathways.

i think this is 100% on the OS + hardware + application platform provider (with Apple as all three on iOS).

Trump issued an executive order ending birthright citizenship in America.
> ask how our ancestors seemed fine with the above but we seem less so?

Maybe they weren’t fine with it. They just didn’t have any other choice. Now we do, and turns out a lot of people choose not to have kids when given the choice.

Honestly, I think we will have a rough couple generations, then nature will take its course and humans will reach a new equilibrium that factors in birth control.
A lot of folks on TikTok have been speculating that Meta/Musk/etc might become owners in some way. Shou, the TikTok CEO - apparently updated his bio to not include "TikTok CEO" post-blackout.

I personally, feel that it's quite a reach for the government to ban social apps such as TikTok. It's pretty much just become endless posts of people trying to make a living off of commission/sales/views. Something will obviously replace it if it does get banned (much like Vine), but "creator culture" is just depressing.
The problem is that our government has been merely pretending to be serious while being extremely unserious: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/03/28/....

Musk, who has revolutionized two massive industries, is “serious.” The outgoing administration was cosplaying seriousness. America didn’t want to reelect Trump. They did it because the “grownups in the room” were a tire fire that managed to do almost everything wrong, from immigration to foreign policy.
Unless it's funny enough to qualify as parody.
~40% of US and international pregnancies, annually, are unintended. When unintended pregnancies are prevented, there are less children. Educated, empowered women have less children or no children. Desired fertility is less than replacement rate, broadly speaking.

Wong Kim Ark cites, at length, Marshall's discourse on jurisdiction in Schooner Exchange v McFaddon, which turns entirely on this question. It also notes the language change between the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment, where the revision clarified precisely this issue. It's a frivolous argument. Would you like to put some money on this? I'd give you favorable odds at 7-2, assuming the court composition remains as it is now.
social media is the television of the internet.

Yesterday I believe he said it still needs to be at least 50% owned by a US company.

If that remains the case I doubt anything will change and this is just a delay. They made no indication of selling being an option.

So realistically is this anything more than political theatre?
Biden didn't need to specify anything. The EPA is the only organization I am aware which can enact anything to force the automakers to electric. Just adjust the standards to something which is near or absolutely impossible to hit without the desired number of electric vehicles. The EPA was more than willing to take care of it.

https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and-engin...

"These standards set the light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) program on track to provide a strong launch point for the Agency’s next phase of standards for MY 2027 and beyond. EPA is planning to initiate a separate rulemaking to establish multi-pollutant emission standards under the Clean Air Act for MY 2027 and later that will speed the transition of the light-duty vehicle fleet toward a zero-emissions future consistent with President Biden’s Executive Order, 'Strengthening American Leadership in Clean Cars and Trucks.'"
Industrialized countries generally have high cost of living. It is much more common for both parents to work than 50 years ago. Also, for many, a career involves moving away from parents, grandparents, and siblings. This all leads to a vastly reduced safety net compared to what was common for most of human history. It is probably unlikely that government could ever fill that void. Eventually, high prices will cure high prices. But, the methods, timescale, and pleasantness in the intervening time is anybody’s guess.
From NPR:

The law does allow one exception: TikTok can continue to operate if Trump certifies to Congress that "significant progress" has been made toward TikTok breaking away from ByteDance's ownership. The law requires that Trump show Congress there are legally binding agreements in motion over ownership changes at TikTok.
Yeah, but would Verizon (let's say) let TikTok on its servers given that they'll be fined for it retroactively (in 4 years) regardless of Trump's order now? And it's a big fine.
“Automated” is key. You are not an automaton, not a machine, you do not infinitely scale with compute power; but unlike a machine you have free will and agency, and legal framework of developed countries grants you human rights that include freedom. That was, in fact, my entire point.

The point isn't that AI training is legal because it's like generating thumbnails. That is being argued in the courts right now.

It's probably going to take way more than just free daycare to make a dent. If declining birthrates can be swung back to a more neutral rate like 2.1, it probably will mean wide reaching financial, cultural, and general societal changes. I think something like the Order of Maternal Glory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Maternal_Glory) but for like 3+ kids, where there's additional social standing in addition to significant financial support, would be a good start.

Or it creates a strong financial incentive for TikTok to ensure that the next administration will be a continuation of the current one.

He single-handedly demolished the propaganda empire that was in place before, ushering in a return to sanity.

I can hardly watch any MSM now because they are all obvious propagandists. What really surprises me is that anyone takes them seriously after all the banana republic stunts they tried to pull on Trump and the rest of us over the last 12-15 years (or more).

In your honest opinion, is using of the term “trannies” a strong marker for what many may call “transphobia?”
Free day care is amazing. If that doesn’t make a dent then I am not sure what will.

Probably free daycare and relaxing immigration would be best to increase population
I had long assumed a reverse merge with a company like snap was the right move. It satisfies the requirement but also keeps bytedance somewhat in control since snap is effectively just a horse in trade for them.

This is pure speculation, but I imagine after you attain a certain degree of wealth, you just hand the kids over to someone and give them a paycheck. Certain megabillionaires in the US have loads of kids and they're treated like goldfish. They're nice decorations for your photo ops, but otherwise, you just pay someone to visit your house and feed them a couple times a day. And it doesn't matter whether you have 1 or 12 because they're all fed at once anyways.
We should have much stricter use policies on them. Especially for the younger demographics. Between social media, pay to win gaming, phone access, and loot boxes, we're really just setting young people up for failure.

I'd take a page out of the Korean approach to gaming where your SIN is associated with your login and some activities hold time/usage requirements.

If it were up to me, I'd straight up ban social media for youth and not allow parents to upload so much content involving their kids... Basically stealing the privacy of the kids in the process.

We used to care about privacy in society, but it feels dead now.
I believe the answer is that there is far more interesting things to do with your life. It's quite easy to imagine a life where you're occupied up to your mid thirties with things like university, starting a career in a field you're actually interested in, maybe moving locations once or twice, travelling, working overseas. This plays out even at the relationship level: people in their 20's are far less committal, and prefer the freedom to explore what life has to offer.

Compare this to even just 50 years ago. These options were limited to the highest classes of society. People tended to settle down and have children because that was the sensible next thing to do in life.
Expect this to go all the way to SCOTUS. I would imagine multiple lower courts will rule on it in the near-term, probably with injunctions and such. Multiple lawsuits challenging it have already been prepared and will be filed shortly

ATC instruction can be countermanded in the event of gross error or emergency.

That said, ATC instructions are to be followed promptly in the absence of such factors.

Kids are hard. People are selfish. Birth control works. The dating market is torture. Divorce is rampant. We're constantly bombarded with environmental destruction predictions. Most wealthy nations have leaders that seem content to replace the existing populous with poor immigrants. Even the poor nations that these immigrants are coming from are now seeing their birth rates collapse. Culture and laws requiring constant child supervision and care make parenting a full time job (for at least a few years). The prices of basic living expenses keep rising. But don't worry, free child care will save us!

Only the super wealthy and those with no money at all are reproducing above replacement levels, and I'm here to watch as the urban "economic growth at the expense of everything else" culture consumes itself into non-existence in a generation or two.

AT 10 trillion kms = 1 light year, 10 quadrillion km = 1000 light years, 10 quintillion kms = 1 million light years. Since Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away, you are looking at an object 25 quintillion kms away. If that doesnt ring a bill, that is 25000 quadrillion kms away, 25 million trillion kms away! , 25 billion billion kms away!!! Simply put if you travelled 1 billion kms that would be 0.000000004% of the way to reach Andromeda galaxy. Imagine that!

> The point is that fair use exemptions isn't limited to "being a conscious human being enjoying human rights"

Sure. However, my point is that this is not fair use*, so other principles need to be applied. Whether legal systems in various countries find that fair use applies here or not, I agree we are yet to see.

* At least in cases where it’s an LLM operated at scale for profit (which I suppose would not hold for Meta’s models if they were truly open, but that’s not the case if they require obtaining a license in some conditions).
I tend to think this self-esteem is important for the homeostasis of our wellbeing and people who are (too) brutally honest about themselves, who have issues with body dysphoria are (duh) unhappy and live worse lives.

I certainly recall nasty things but it feels true (a truism?) that I retain better memories of happy times, and tend to minimise retention of bad times. Because it makes me happy into the future, not sad: If my life is bound by being un-hot, ugly, and a trail of tears lie behind me, thats a bit shit innit?

So yea: Good stats, and a good test, of something which IS IN OUR OWN BENEFIT.

For the sake of humanity, continue to lie to yourself about how hot you are. But get a decent face scrub and wash behind your ears too. Doesn't hurt.

1. Participate in the system
2. Violently overthrow the system
3. Do nothing
