No personal device - easy and done. The result is extreme social isolation, but sometimes that’s a cost worth paying. Teachers do not generally monitor computer use during class time. They don’t have the capacity. Chromebook’s are necessary

I’m glad the responses to my comment are personal horror stories, because my comment is a personal horror story. It makes sense. I’m dealing with a mentally ill adolescent addicted to very toxic content. You grew up in an oppressive environ

The local public school gives a Chromebook they must use for class. Not optional. More broadly your advice is very out of touch with modern life. Don’t let them go to the library? Or summer camp? How am I supposed to supervise them 24/

I get that I really do. For a while our compromise was that our child could go to the library - that way they had access to free information. But after some chats with the librarian, it became clear that wasn’t working. The libraries filter

The friend part is less important than you think. Devices are very personal these days. Most kids are unwilling to hand over their phones and tablets to a trusted friend. It’s like a diary. Even if they are willing, it’s only for a short ti

I say this again and again in various places - something wise needs to be done about children and the internet. Previous interventions have failed miserably. I think the solution is giving parents maximum power: create an immutable record o

"Meeting this project deadline is more important than your child dying." What was the context? Did someone’s child die?

Aren’t Swedish political parties mostly publicly funded?

Does the UK have the power to try him also? If this took place in the states, he could be tried in both military and civilian courts. Also the article seems to imply the UK does better at trying rape than the US military. I doubt that.

Some of these positions are not like the others. For example, “planned degrowth” is insanely fringe. No mainstream politician is seriously planning this, or even claiming to. It’s not a live issue. Allowing minors access to puberty blockers

I was initially going to “educate myself” about this but my doctors said “stop.” For a man above 45 the answer is simply, “no.” Very few people understand why. It’s complicated, requires lots of math, and most doctors don’t care. You trust

Was your doctor following clearly and rigorously established medical guidelines? If you think your doctor has screwed up talk to another doctor or the pharmacist. That’s legit. But deciding you need a vaccine the guidelines say you don’t is

The problem arises when moving someone from payroll to consulting creates the illusion they are not necessary.

What age do you recommend they be vaccinated?

No the 60+ men who drug search for it against medical advice are virtue signaling. I really wish the left would respond to the rights idiocy with by actually following science. Science like: “not recommended for men over … whatever it is no

I will do so when my doctor advises me to, not before.

Every-time the HPV vaccine stuff comes up there’s a ton of old guys bragging about how they got it AMA. This doesn’t make you seem like a good person. It makes you seem like you don’t trust public health officials. I had this conversation w

It isn’t just a lack of ethnic bias, it’s a belief in capitalism or professionalism or “enlightened self-interest”: hire the best person for the job, and everyone will be better off.

The hype is exceeding the actual day to day impact. Much of the hype is focused on functional limitations, where the real payoff is speed. We can now do some basic - and increasingly more advanced - things much much faster. For experienced

> Almost every country has amazing universities with software tracks. Simply not true. It’s questionable what “best program” means for software engineering. It’s a hard craft to teach in classrooms and apprenticeship/mentoring model

Ok fine. In the long run nativising has limits. A good model is 5g WiFi: trust the foreign dumb parts and provide your own smart parts. But that requires excellent state capacity. Specifically intelligence sharing with domestic regulators-
