I should have been clearer. It doesn't matter that the 9-year-old comes home on a bus vs walking. They still are not allowed to stay at home by themselves for hours after school every day, even if they take the bus. It's not the c

Lots of legit reasons. Some I have seen: - kids do remote school for whatever reason. This works when parent is at home, but not if parent is at the office. - kids are < age when it's okay to leave them at home, but > age when it

They definitely do have the resources, but laws and regulations are frequently ambiguous. This is one reason the outcome of litigation is often unpredictable. I would wager this -- OpenAI lawyers have looked that the situation. They have no

It's fair to describe objects in relation to the lifespans of those objects, not of those who observe. "On the scale of human events" is not the only relevant timeframe for discussing celestial bodies.

I wonder if watching TV/movies on phones in bed at night is a normal use case. I thought it was a normal thing that many/most people do, but this comment suggests that perhaps my social circle is odd in that way.

My bias is that I don't give mulligans or asterisks to presidents[1]. Every administration faces a unique set of challenges, and some of those will be financial. Most of the others will involve large-scale finances. So I don't gra

To the best of my recollection, all of the budgets in the timeframe I mention were signed by the sitting president. (I realize this is not necessary for laws to take effect, but in the years I cited I believe the presidents all signed the b

I wrote it that way intentionally. The data are available, so it's easy enough to find out "who was president during the last budget surplus" and "who presided over the largest increase in the federal debt." Some pe
