The study does note that it's not controlling for this factor and recommends social media be looked at more closely. The question I suppose would be , is it Fortnite or Facebook (or whatever it is kids use now, Facebook has been considered "boomer" social media for some time now by the kids) responsible for this.

That said , your observation on Gramps cursing the TV is interesting. As a kid in the 70s and 80s, my father was so adamant the TV was bad for it, he sold the TV set. The question is, what's the difference between kids glued to TV sets and kids glued to screens.

Yeah thats actually a worry. The sale of 6ghz to mobile carriers could have some troublesome implications for wifi. In theory it could be moved elsewhere but that'd reqire the FCC to release bandwidth to the public and it currently seems more interested in selling public bandwidth to telcos instead.

Not a lawyer, but UK law doesn't apply across the world.

No, but it does apply in the UK, and international law has always been clear that when you serve customers in a country, you do so under the laws of that country.

UK law does not apply to what is served to US customers. It applies to what is served to UK customers. And if you break UK laws, you pay UK penalties.

This has been the standard internationally since Dow Jones vs Gutnick 23 years ago (That was an australian lawsuit that settled how international juristiction works in defamation cases and has been largely adopted internationally as it was based on the US model of international juristiction).

Note also, both OFCOM thing, and Twitters violations in Australia are both related to websites (4chan and twitter) refusing to provide information to cops doing child porn investigations.

Thats what these companies are protecting. Nothing to do with politics. Its pedophiles, not politicians.

tbh if all it did was chant "Remember your vows. defend the constitutioon" over and over again, that might end up being useful.

Not that I trust palmer or Thiel to give a shit about the constitution , with their authoritarian surveilance fantasies and all.

What might be starting to happen is that there are increasing numbers of these "snowflake" employees that are offended by everything, can't take a joke, etc. For them, "normal" people are toxic because OMG! they occasionally make a slightly off-color joke, or something, then go straight to HR. So they think the workplace is toxic because they're forced to be exposed to that. Normal people then have to carefully watch every word that comes out of their mouths, can't have any fun or relax, so they consider the snowflakes toxic. So basically, everyone thinks it's toxic, and it really only takes one snowflake per office to make it like that.

We have a joke in my band that we could do the most diabolical marketing ever by driving around the suburbs with a megaphone blaring out "Alexa, please buy the new album" really loud.

Not sure if it'd work, those devices are banned in my house since they day long ago I was woken up by a Google assistant at 3am in the moning by it reading out the Wikipedia page for "Human Skull". The GF wanted it gone straight away lol

>30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, I

the more interesting question is why it took so long for someone to place this bet: Trump's reaction was rather predictable; why did noone move faster?

>Why though?

for the same reason the Enterprise makes swishing, sounds of course!

>How many people know what 100hp gets them?

Probably not very many, given that it's peak output of about seven horses . . .

>Personally, if im bound by law to make loud

Actually, I'm holding out for the Enterprise's main phasers (from Start Trek, not it's spinoffs!)

Possibly interspersed with photon torpedoes as it accelerates.

As an economist, I cringe at the typical IPO and related culture and expectations.

A huge runup in price on your IPO does *NOT* mean you've done well, or were a good choice.

It means that you *SCREWED UP*! You sold pieces of your company for less than people were willing to pay!

I would much prefer to see the new equity issued in a treasury style auction (price set at the highest price that sells them all, with everyone bidding that price or above receiving stock), a transparent direct sale into the market on an announced schedule, or one or more "dutch auctions", in which the price counts down from an initial high price until someone accepts (variants include anyone else being able to buy at the price before the clock resets).

And there's really no reason for investment bankers to be taking a fat seven or eight figure cut of the proceeds. The could either be done in house, or by firms that do it regularly. None are rocket science!

Not anything. I'm sure when Federal troops take over the State Capitol and Newsom is put in prison for unspecified but certainly horrible crimes, the military governor that takes his place will make sure none of this kind anti-corporate nonsense continues.

hmm.

high voltage electrodes and needles on recessed solenoids would go farther than screens for this.

If they won't respect robots.txt, maybe they'll stay off your site if you stick random gibberish poison pages all over the site.

That you at all think this is some how partisan is hilarious.

Just a pro-tip. Pointing out the actions of someone who happens to belong to one party or another isn't "partisan" its truth telling.

We know these laws are coming from template law orgs aligned with Thiel and the GOP. Demanding this fact be ignored in the name of "non partisanship" is dumb as shit. Anyway, whats wrong with partisanship. The best people of the 20th century where the partisans, especially when they where hanging fascists.
