The mantra we use with our kids is "We will try and respect your privacy but we aren't bound by it." As I often tell my son, "It's your room but it's my house."

And we make it extra clear that the moment they go online, they have no expectation of privacy. Better they learn that someone's snooping now than be surprised when it's Google/Facebook/NSA.

There are so many books on the technique of cooking, not the recipes.

Time to watch Cunningham's Law in action.

They already do? Plenty of apps are banned in various countries, if I recall correctly.

But the shooter drills are incredibly common. Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean children aren't often being forced to think about it happening.

That sounds like a cost for the company, not the employee.

This is fascinating, because the current TV show _Mrs. Davis_ has references to hippo meat which I think really cements that it's a parallel universe.

I'm sad that this is the second part and then the series stopped.

> In the seven months since Musk bought the company he singlehandedly fired nearly every employee, accidentally locked the remainder out of the headquarters, turned blue-check validation into a living nightmare for international brands, un-banned some of the most notorious and repugnant users from white nationalists to bigots and racists, mis-branded news outlets as state-sponsored, threatened to open a news agency to impersonation on his platform, cancelled most of the API, and tried to extort the very brands his platform depended on in a cash-for-validation scheme that backfired spectacularly.

Which one of those claims wasn't real?

This isn't Reddit

Who should decide how things are spent?

My wife and I vote on our personal budget all the time.

What do you think the primary theme of HN is? Because the stated theme is:

> Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: *anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.*

(Emphasis mine.)

> The only way to prevent this from happening is to threaten violence or threat of violence to either of these people.

That's a weird view.

We could also just, you know, vote away banks. I'm not sure why a centralized bank would result in violence.

We have 2.5 RPG/AS400 devs in my department keeping our old legacy system alive and trucking. They're great devs and they do good work, but every time I get roped into their side of things I feel lost and confused.

> Is it legal to have private conversations discussing actual plans for acts of terrorism?

Not in most countries, no.

Obsidian's ecosystem is incredible. You can make Obsidian a queryable database, a longform book editor a la Scrivener, or a gilded tabletop RPG campaign book.

Half of what makes Obsidian so great is that they've encouraged modding so heavily.

He has his freedom of speech! So did the person you're replying to. That's what the old American freedom of speech meant: you can say dumb things and other people can say that what you said was dumb.

The new koolaid is "I can say dumb things and if anybody calls me on it, I'm being oppressed." That has nothing to do with freedom of speech, there's no government here.

Sounds like you've been drinking plenty of the new koolaid.

That's not how that works. The law is pretty explicit.

When I took tax law, one of the things that blew my mind is that it can be retroactive.

An exemption might expire, but then be retroactively reinstated. This happens all the time.

There is the tax law that applies to your 2022 income now, and then there's the tax law that will apply to your 2022 taxes in five years.

She.

IP exists to encourage the creation of ideas that are easy to copy.

Land is neither created nor easy to copy.

Females makes you sound like a Ferengi. It's weird.

What's the value in limiting by age? Part of the value of self-learning is being able to tackle it at any point in life.

If I want to chat with peers who are self-studying data science or Python or whatever, I don't care if they're 18 or 80. I care that they want to talk about Python or data science and are at the same skill level as me.

As a lifelong Star Trek fan, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy are as good as its ever been. The writing on all three is incredibly tight.

Disco and Picard... have been a struggle.

Anecdata: My wife was addicted to the story in God of War Ragnarok.

She walked through the living room during the opening cut scene and exclaimed "Is that Toby Ziegler ZEUS?"

She ended up hanging out in the living room crafting, reading, playing on her phone, or watching her own shows while I ran around smashing and killing, and then would pay attention whenever a cut scene happened.

Movies and games are not the same thing.

But blockbuster amusement park movies and AAA video games increasingly are.

Depends on the school, but look up your school's accreditation requirements for hours in class requirements.

A coworker joked the other day that GDScript will probably onboard a whole slew of C# developers.

1. Learn GDScript

2. Grow frustrated with duck typing

3. Learn that you can switch to C# and still use Godot

Godot 4 having two first class languages is such an odd paradigm.

The cost is that we keep publicizing risk and privatizing gains. SVB took advantage of Trump-era deregulation to make more profit and now that they've screwed up they want help. The people who deposited money at SVB profited from those choices and now they also want a bailout.

The schools can't operate without grad students. The entire system is built on the assumption they teach and run labs. Accreditation requires hours of class per term. Striking for two weeks would cancel an entire term of undergrad. The damage to the school's budget and reputation would be enormous, while delaying their grad degrees a term.

Their leverage is significant.

That's not how voting works.

Agreed. I nearly just closed the tab when it didn't work on Firefox.
