I am not the one pushing back against reasonable protections for children.

> Nonsense. Please enlighten me. I am waiting for what that reasonable reason to fight against basic protections for children would be. I can't think of one.

I sometimes get annoyed at how we talk about self driving cars, we shouldn't expect them to have a perfect track record. There will always be situations that neither choice is a good one but something has to happen. But to me, I often

No I it is a reasonable assumption based on how the OP responded to my comment. I said: > A bare minimum "are the kids physically ok" doesn't remove any of your freedom unless you consider starving and beating your kids a

Oh I completely agree! our school system sucks. Which is why I find it insane that we can't even require such a low bar as it is.

I never said it was perfect, but I am pointing out that your argument is fundamentally flawed. Even if it isn't happening as much as it should be, doesn't change that there is still value in a proper science and math education. We

This is a flawed idea that there is a one to one relation that everything you learn is something that will be directly used in the future. I mean how often do we hear something along the lines of "I never used the algebra I learned in

This thread is all over the place, I can't read the article since I don't pay for wsj and the archive link isn't working for me. There shouldn't be a problem with home schooling in a perfect world, but the current situat

Did you watch the linked video? Your "freedom" is allowing kids to be abused since they don't have the checks of other adults being able to see them. A bare minimum "are the kids physically ok" doesn't remove a

That thing was incredibly frightening to see and just how much power the home school lobbying group has. I am sure that what is shown here is in the severe minority, but I don't understand how we don't have some basic requirements

How did I not know this…. That may be a project at some point to merge the 2. But it’s not a big deal to keep them separate I guess.

While I am sure this is likely to push people towards YouTube premium subscriptions, I feel like Podcasts are unique in the way they are consumed that they need a dedicated app. Otherwise we end up with either a bloated YouTube app or an ev

I have to agree, I feel like the idea that maybe some extra support is necessary really started to hit mainstream around the 20X line of cards. I have a 4090 in my machine, I straight up refused to install it and sat on it for a few days un

Honestly it drives me insane when I keep messages out of just texting. I have a couple friends that just want to use Discord and not everything is together in the same app on all of my devices (iMessage,including just texting is on all of m

ok, so they can talk to those lawyers. Maybe those lawyers concluded that Apple had no choice and could not fight this. You're saying they could fight this, I am saying they can't. Frankly neither of us have evidence either way si

> if they are legally. That is the key part of this that we are glossing over here. I have yet to see any evidence that Apple or Google could have denied these requests or done anything to try to counter it thanks to the gag order.

In an ideal world that is a great ideal, but that is not the world we live in. My understanding is that before this was made public Apple was under a gag order and could not talk about this. In a situation like that how would Apple be able

I always found it odd that sensitive apps like Banking I could just fall back to the same pin I use on my phone... that seems a bit wrong? Like ok I get it, there should be a fall back to biometrics not working for whatever reason. But for

I feel like this is quite an over simplification. They can care about privacy all they want but if they are legally required to hand something over what are they realistically going to do? Really their only solution is to make everything en

I just fail to see why we are going above 1 or 2 Gig, considering even 1 Gig is fairly uncommon for people to have. The fastest speeds I have ever realistically seen is on my Xbox capping out at about 650, maybe 700. I think steam caps out

That is quite the ambitious name, obviously it can't really be "limitless" even if that limit is just whatever spare resources AWS has to run your database. But they must be confident that that whatever the real limit is, is

I am disappointed that these are not matter out the gate, the door/window sensor and the motion sensor would be instant buys for me (likely several). IKEA does do a good job with Homekit support (unless the new hub is different) but re

First, question: > Several top VMware executives have left the cloud-computing company over the past year. Since when is VMWare a "cloud-computing" company? I am now reaching out to friends to see if everyone is ok, this sucks.

If the problem is the hardware itself and not Windows in this case, I fail to see how Linux would fix this particular problem. Also worth pointing out that: > Microsoft’s Offensive Research and Security Engineering (MORSE) asked Blackwin

This alone isn't surprising, but what I really want to know is if this hit is something fundamentally wrong with Windows or is it the overhead of all of the stuff that Windows runs that doesn't need to run, since it mentions &quot

When Google decided to fork Webkit we should have all seen this coming. Safari and Chrome being on the same engine was great, now we are seeing more divergence since we have 3 main engines and more and more are only testing on Chrome.

The discussion around operating systems really is tiring. A lot of the comments here are no better than what we are seeing on that reddit post, which is sad. Like you I use all 3 operating systems for different things. However Mac is my pre
