You really don’t need to be a billionaire to afford crazy internet speeds (if you want them). You can get a 100G port from pretty much any ISP for ~$8k/mo, or even cheaper if you are willing to have a bandwidth cap. Then assuming you really want it, you’d have to pay to get the fiber laid to your home, which can be a few hundred thousand dollars depending on how far away you are. Of course this is ridiculous for home internet, but it is within reach for people that are way poorer then billionaires.

Unpopular opinion: Your kids do not actually have freedom if you’re tracking them.

This is just false, and your definition of ‘freedom’ is nothing but sophistry.

Agreed. My wife and I are both on iOS so there is no need for this feature. Our daughter when she is old enough for a cellphone, would be the one I’d use this for since she can’t turn it off.

This is a useful feature. If you are in an abusive household, then yes you should have as much financial separation as possible. For those that are in a happy and functional family with kids that you want to allow freedom for, this provides a measure of safety if you need it for potential emergency’s or if they aren’t answering the phone or whatever.

This is good thing for the dozen or so people benefiting from our unlimited funding to defense contractors and of course a bad thing for literally everyone else.

You don’t have to land on one thing and make it your personality for the rest of your life. It’s okay to grow as a person especially if you’re an adult.

Agreed, so why are you still worrying about Harry Potter (somehow) harming people? It’s time to move on from that 90’s rhetoric.

I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways. It literally always has been and that fact is why the US even exists.

Sure, but they are radiation sources and beyond microwaves, “nuclear” material exists in several consumer products, so that isn’t really a reason we haven’t had consumer nuclear batteries.

You mean like Microwaves? Or Smoke detectors? Granite countertops etc. Or watches, and Energy Efficient CFLs?

This is a great thing. Not even joking. No more coal and Energy exports? Perfect. Agriculture has to be sold locally and thus subject to the Agriculture Bill pricing ceiling and supply mandates? Great. (obviously the ag bill has a lot of room for improvement, but I digress.)

Perhaps, or perhaps they told Trump to fuck off. Or perhaps they don’t agree with Zelensky’s approach to ending the war and are trying to replace him, etc etc. I think it’s disingenuous and dangerous to assume that if someone doesn’t 100% agree with the current president of Ukraine that they are traitors.

Wow excellent analysis, anything against US Interests is Russian. And you base this upon what exactly?

Petro Poroshenko the former President of Ukraine, and Yulia Tymoshenko a former Prime Minister of Ukraine are Russian now?

Private prisons are paid per-head.

Propaganda is really only effective if you don’t recognize its bias to begin with. That’s why media literacy is so important.

If you are interested in a subject, a video is the worst way to learn about it.

Why does even a modern language syntax insist on having end of line characters like semi colons. Surely we have moved beyond that. What is even the point of those characters?

No job/recruiter/interviewer will ever care about what email provider you use.

“YOU NEED A COMPUTER AND DEVELOPER OPTIONS ENABLED FOR THIS TO WORK. DEVELOPER OPTIONS CAN BE ENABLED ON THE PARENT APP.”

So is this just a case where if you have a privileged user i.e. developer options, you can do things like change the time? Maybe i’m misunderstanding the way time-based features work, but surely they can be trivially bypassed by the child in a myriad number of ways if they have privileged access already?

Git is great. Git is Complicated. But assuming you have a protected master branch that requires PRs and will detect merge conflicts before attempting to merge, it’s not really dangerous. It is however frustrating.
