Prevention policies work: "In 2015, 9.3% of high school students reported smoking cigarettes in the last 30 days, down 74% from 36.4% in 1997 when rates peaked after increasing throughout the first half of the 1990s"

You’re framing this as an all-or-nothing choice. The logical inverse of your argument would be: "should we unban hard drugs for everyone, and allow alcohol, tobacco, or porn for kids?" That kind of binary framing doesn’t really mo

Still, even the most libertarian among us generally won't oppose restricting youth access to tobacco, or restricting recreational access to hard drugs.

Controlling access to any substance is a long process, and the motives aren’t always clear at the beginning. I’m not sure why Australian policymakers chose to take this step now, but regardless of the motive, it feels like a meaningful star

I can think of a couple of times when I wasn’t the best at something, yet still got opportunities simply because someone well-established in that space liked me. And I can think of the opposite too - situations where I was at a disadvantage

I love both names - ban-ray and ray-banned. I have no experience in this area, so I’ll just ask a noob question: Can we make it so that if someone is looking at me through smart-glasses without my consent, my glasses respond with some form

To an ex-facebook like myself, it feels like LeCun was more "managed out" than "departing" Making a veteran like LeCun to report to a new hire (through acquisition) is a strong sign from the management in the direction o

If it's about* proving that people are getting around the paywall with OpenAI, won't it be much easier to prove this with a live reproduction in the court? * I am not too familiar with this matter and hence definitely am not rooti

The sad thing is - $MSFT isn't even down by 1%. And IIRC, $AMZN actually went up during their previous outage. So if we look at these companies' bottom lines, all those big wigs are actually doing something right. Sales and lobbyi

I guess from these cosmetic "company missions" we can make out how OpenAI and Google are envisioning to get that "Power and Money" through AI. But even Meta's PR dept seems clueless on answering "How Meta is g

my take: Meta’s leadership and dysfunctional culture failed to nurture talent. To fix that, they started throwing billions of $ at hiring from outside desperately. And now they're relying on these newcomers to purge the old Meta styled

I can totally see the minds running TurboTax spending a lot of money to make this happen.

I’ve had frustrating experiences with TurboTax due to its overly complex interface, aggressive data collection under the guise of saving money (which it doesn’t deliver), and a convoluted pricing structure that rivals the IRS’s own complexi
