First, you'll have to prove to me that weapons, porn, sex exploitation, and drugs like OxyContin aren't issues in the US, then we can keep talking. > People become sex workers because they enjoy it Ignorant.

Most EU countries passed laws between 2002 and 2009 raising the tobacco purchase age to 18. And they also introduced regulations on how and where they can advertise smoking, how the packaging looks, and even where the products are displayed

Looks like you've never spoken to parents whose kids are spending all their money on porn, or to those whose sons or daughters are working online as sex workers to meet the growing demand driven by porn addiction. What I mean by porn a

I was echoing the words of EU regulators, who've already imposed heavy regulations on US weapons manufacturers, pharma companies, social media, AI and now porn. By the way, these goods and services don't represent freedom to the r

I'm in favour of countries regulating US exports, social media, tobacco, weapons, AI, and porn included. I'm sure those living in the US won't agree with me and will be against such regulations, since they don't benefit

Exactly. For example, adult smoking prevalence in the EU has dropped by about 9% per decade among men which means it's fallen nearly in half since the 1970s. The US is always against regulations when they don't benefit their compa

Harmful in which way? Porn addiction is as harmful as gambling, tobacco and alcohol addiction. High school students with phones at school are showing porn to their friends, even younger kids. Some schools have banned phones, but teens aged

I agree. There's a rich ecosystem for building SPAs with MACH architecture. There’s no going back now, not even for basic apps.

Yeah, of course. But I was thinking more from a user experience point of view. MPAs usually render pages server-side, which cuts down on frontend dependencies and expertise. That's why companies used to hire experienced engineers for t

I thought about your comment, and IMO the reason some (or most) SPAs are badly built comes down to the inexperience of developers and hiring managers. They don't know much about performance, they don't measure it, they don't

I agree with you. The author's point is that browsers have finally understood why some traditional sites were created as SPAs, which involves recreating some of the functionality browsers already offer today. But that doesn’t mean all

> even if a minority can use them properly. Most students today are AI fluent. Most teachers aren't. Students treat AI like Google Search, StackOverflow, GitHub, and every other dev tool.

The headline is: As porn sites apply new age checks, will users hand over personal ID? The answer is: No. Looks like the UK finally solved it.

The lesson: Don't hand out plastic cards. Give people phones with digital wallets built in, and let them pay off the phone in 12 or 24 monthly instalments. That way you control the hardware, the payments, and the ecosystem. I know peop

Language models are here to stay, and what we're seeing today is the worst they'll ever be. The key is to think 2 or 3 years ahead. Students growing up with AI are already fluent in it. Those who avoid or struggle to use this tech

This is a great idea. LLM crawlers are ignoring robots.txt, breaching site terms of service, and ingesting copyrighted data for training without a licence. We need more ideas like this!

Hey Ms. Tang, here's a little weekend project for you. There's this thing called Transformers and GenAI. The problem is, it doesn't scale. Propose a better architecture and call it AGI. (Fingers crossed)
