Australian laws decided to explicitly not blame the parents and place the responsibility on the platform. Turns out not all parents are responsible adults with a diploma in dark pattern navigation, and some kids don't even have parents

Grants operate differently over here. You have to write a submission, proposing works and budget and generally justifying. It is assessed by a committee. Politics gets involved. And a few people get larger chunks of money and the people hol

Over here in Australia, it is mostly Visa and Mastercard debit cards in use (credit cards are available, but expensive and no longer popular). Your money still disappears from your account immediately, but you still can get a refund when us

Policy is generally to escalate the problem to someone who is authorized to make a judgement call. Then you have someone to throw in jail when a tired driver crashes through a wedding, adding an additional $100M in criminal negligence penal

I don't see an alternative to Visa and Mastercard being discussed in the article. I just see ways of making bank transfers easier. Banks generally don't provide ways to dispute transactions, which is why fraudsters generally use b

Entertainment we watch becomes part of our culture. It is absorbed and forms part of our thoughts. It becomes part of our self, and more often than not that part is owned by someone else. NFL is a great example. It is part of shared America

This is all relatively new in human timescales. My parents as children saw the start of modern advertising, with ads targeted at them. But they did not see entertainment engineered to sell them product. I think in the 60s you started seeing

A key feature of many platforms being banned is algorithmic feeds. Nobody has to choose what to promote. The algorithms automatically promote what results in the most engagement. The most addictive content ends up being force fed due to nat

I guess some companies try to limit the harm they do to children while profiting, and some companies try not to know the harm they do to children while profiting. What remains to be seen is how much harm we allow to be done to children in t

Money comes with strings, such as when forming an ongoing relationship with a company you expect them to not merge with other companies you are actively prosecuting. I suspect the deal is going so fast to avoid some sort of veto being prepa

You seem to be describing ground sourced heat pumps. If you wanted, you could insulate a a chunk of foundation or earth to avoid heat loss. But just the ground under your building seems to work well enough.

It sounds like OpenAI Codex is operating the same way, but with much better communication. It takes resources to do the triage properly, but will make the community a much more pleasant place.

Two major problems. If a team does not have the bandwidth to fix an issue, closing it acknowledges this and doesn't leave people in false hope. Ideally with a status like 'won't fix' to clarify the situation. Users can m

A couple of decades ago, a politically active family I knew was grooming their child to be a future Prime Minister. While the poor kid had amazing privilege that other kids could only dream of, one strict rule was no Facebook or similar. No

The Australian 'social media' ban is only blocking specific platforms, so not really a social media ban. Lots of 'but what about' and 'kids will just' articles in the media, which didn't really address tha

Traditionally you put a puppet in place to avoid these sorts of pesky rules. Family members are popular.

Risk gets passed along until someone accepts it, usually an insurance company or the operator. If the risk was accepted and paid for by Tesla, then the cost would simply be passed down to consumers. All consumers, including those that want

An AC/DC power converter works the same, either built into the bulb or in a separate unit. But yes, a separate power converter is almost certainly going to do a much better job of removing the 50/60Hz voltage drop. Not sure if it

It is not a choice between ads or subscription. The choice is between ads, adblockers or subscriptions. Hardly anyone will pay the subscription when they have a free way or blocking the ads. It is wild that an AI company is banking on ad fu

When the training data is 'the Internet', I don't see why you would pay to relegate yourself to a box people will train themselves to ignore. Instead, why not astroturf and ensure the training data will promote you organicall
