I am genuinely curious where you moved.

> The thing that strikes me about Australia's property prices are, who will be the generation to pay prices like this again? I personally can't imagine the prices to eventually go anywhere but down.

I imagine the opposite. Price will keep going up and up. It's a ponzi scheme, it's literally "too big to fail". The government cannot allow a fall in prices so it will simply never come.

Regarding who will pay again? No-one, land will concentrate amongst the few who already own land and can use that equity as leverage, while the rest of us will live via rent. I am 80% sure that most people born after 2000 will never own a home.

Companies will do the most insane, terrible things if not stopped. This will happen.

Not adequate either. Throwing a hundred ads during one show, at the same time charging you for it and that's somehow a good experience? Netflix is a million times better and that's why they're still raking in money.

Which Indian newspaper has press offices in "every major city in Pakistan"?

> Lots of Pakistani journalists publish in Indian newspapers due to censorship in Pakistan.

Nonetheless, Indian media has consistently shown to provide either outright false news, or very exaggerated facts to suit Indian narrative. One example is :

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/12/11/eu-ngo-report-unco...

> The researchers said they had “uncovered an entire network of coordinated UN-accredited NGOs promoting Indian interests and criticising Pakistan repeatedly. We could tie at least 10 of them directly to the Srivastava family, with several other dubious NGOs pushing the same messages.”

Trusting any content from an Indian news source about Pakistan without corroboration is entirely like trusting Russia when it's talking about the Ukraine War.

> people are living longer and having fewer children—and some retirement-age folks have little choice but to work because of inflation and a weak stock market.

... This is a dystopian story wrapped up in a weird, feel good narrative. First of all, the big position described as an example is a part-time one and at a package-shipping station. Sure, that's work that needs to be done, but it's not going to do anything for a young person looking to afford rent near a urban center, or even buy a house. Of course, the older folks can work there. They don't have to pay rent anymore. They've got their house. Usually near city centers.

Let's say that most jobs are not the sort above, i.e. full-time and paying somewhat average. If those are being taken by older folks who are coming out of retirement because "inflation and a weak stock market" ... well, that certainly tells you all you need to know about this. What is this? We, as a society, have created a world where younger folks aren't incentivised to put in any hard work because it gets them nothing while older folks who are meant to be retired are now forced to work even more.

> There is no official measure of discrimination claims on the basis of being too young because federal law protects only workers over 40

I don't see the need for one to exist honestly but this is the prefect example of the world being slanted against young folks.

What was the breach?

Since TikTok is storing the data on US soil (I believe that's something they've started), or if not, make them. Presumably they have or will have US presence in terms of personnel, money and so on.

If that is all true, which it should be, then it doesn't matter if you expect them to honor privacy laws. That's why laws have punishments. Apply fines, go arrest the people at their offices, confiscate their servers and so on.

It's so weird to me, that the logic is : They might not follow the law, let's not make it.

What's the best thing we have then? Because I am not aware of any alternatives to CSS that I can use in the browser.

Isn't this literally what already occurs? From the other side, it seems like this is exactly how most women are doing it? I don't see a lot of my female friends going on dates with every guy they match with (which is usually >200 so pretty hard to date 200 people), so they're rather picky which makes sense. Although, the profile thing is lacking, it's usually just a few photos.

> If a guy can’t set up a decent profile or send a message beyond “Hey”, it doesn’t mean he’s too busy. It means he’s lazy, careless, or not actually invested in dating.

I wonder if she's ever actually sent a message to someone else. This entitlement of "entertain me peasant" is one of the reasons why I deleted these apps.

Isn't the result the same? More people are single? Or are we saying that more men have polyamorous relationships?

I am missing something here... why? If the rate of single men in the US looking for a date has dropped, wouldn't a similar number (assuming majority straight relationships and monogamous pairings) of women be also single?

Because unless it says "That's it" ... that's not the prompt, but simply generating prompt-like text. Right?

Also, you don't use a Phone? or Maps? Really? Do you use Chrome? Do you use Firefox, because Google's contributed a massive amount to the web standards that are implemented in both Firefox, and Chrome.

I don't necessarily disagree, but that's only from a technical pov. However, I think the release of it as a open-source library made it so that it's far easier to learn the tech that already existed. Vast majority of university courses use it to teach lots of different concepts that were far more "mathy" before.

> MapReduce was not and isn't something that made ML possible. It made data engineering at scale possible.

Yeah. Maybe I worded that wrong. I wasn't saying it made ML possible. Just that it's a huge contribution to the Open-Source tech overall.

In terms dev-related stuff, TensorFlow - literally something that's made today's ML possible, Kubernetes, BigTable, MapReduce, and yknow, that good old thing called Chrome..

I understand hating on Google. They're not that great, but none of the FAANG are "great".. They all have some terrible bits, some good bits. However, to say that Google has not provided anything except "spam stuffs" is very wrong.

Search alone has changed the entire way that humans consume information. I would say that today's internet landscape, for better or worse, would not exist without Google.

Largely depends on how rich you are. Middle-class and above tend to hire a Wedding Marquee, which basically means a hall and catering service along with decoration shenanigans. So, largely, yeah, food is catered.

However, poorer folks will not be able to afford such a thing. Therefore, food is going to be cooked the traditional way. Now, since weddings tend to be fairly big, huge events with over 300/400 people at the minimum. This means that you need big pots and pans to cook lots of food. Kitchen ovens are often smaller sized and difficult to cook on, so specially made massive pots for cooking are used on wood fire outside where cooking is done.

Although, I will say, I've eaten at a fair few weddings, and actually aided the cooking effort in two or three, none would ever allow any bird or any other sort of animal near it, and hygiene was as high as it could be. Food ingredients are kept covered with some sort of netting/clean cloths while pots and pans are always covered with a lid. More so, meat and other perishables that might be affected by the heat are basically brought directly out of fridge and into pot.

Crows and other birds getting some food is only when leftovers are thrown to the side somewhere, so this, hopefully, isn't a common thing.

Also, the way the consequences of school intervention works is bonkers.

The bully is rewarded since they get suspended (that's a reward from their pov, not a punishment) while the victim gets punished since they get suspended (but now that's a punishment from their pov).

This is entirely normal from my experience and perfectly acceptable from the schools at least. Not sure it's acceptable by parents just yet.

The article brings up a useful point, but then diverges into reactionary terrible "video games are bad" take that really doesn't look at the main reason why this is happening in my opinion.

People are stopping work, sitting at home and checking out because they see "it"... it being the treadmill but not getting anything for it. The incentive to work is gone, and people realize that it's not going to result in enough improvement for a life-change. The desire to have friends/girlfriends etc is gone because social media provides a facade of social interaction, and dating is a competitive game that's analogous to the treadmill mentioned before. Why take part?

Because China literally has a law that states that apps for kids must provide educational content. The USA can do the same if it wants that.
