Negative impact in my experience. My kids were given ipads at school. Big downtrend in education quality ensued. Chaos really. It’s all a hand wavey “tech is good” without doing any research, experimentation or preparation. https:/&#x

“Congress shall make no law… …abridging the freedom of speech”. Certainly doesn’t guarantee anyone a right to be published on any platform they want….

That’s the irony of all this. It’s the “freedom” party interfering with a company’s right to run its own website.

How Twitter used to be I think? If I remember correctly, I only got tweets from people I followed, in chronological order. I could unfollow someone and never hear from them again. Now the algorithm decides what I see.

Yes. The tell for these kinds of lists is if all the books are “impressive”.

No contest, yes. But can the world afford EVs even with the improved efficiency?

The life cycle emissions of an EV are about half those of an ICE. So maybe a 2x factor is better. EV manufacture has a higher environmental cost than ICE. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/cleaner-cars-cradle-grave

Yep. Been on Dreamhost since 2004. Just create the html file and sftp it using FileZilla. Setting up a domain is just a few clicks on their admin site. PHP + MySQL works perfectly. All for $10/month.

I’m with you. I just moved to a new laptop. I haven’t installed ad blockers yet. But interestingly, I seem to have got out of the habit of using the obnoxious ad supported sites. Probably because they became too low quality. I hadn’t even r

So the retainers are subtracted from the project fee?

I agree. The problem EV’s are trying to solve is to save car culture.

There’s actually some truth to that. More than one tech company turned out to be fraud.

And yet a teacher with 30 kids in the class gets maybe 80k in a better paying state. 30 x 13k is $390k…. Something isn’t adding up. What are all the overheads?

Yeah. The more words, the more space to insert ads. Then people tap on those ads by mistake when scrolling.
