Educated, monied people leaving California to avoid fallout from political policies based on "feel-good" rather than reality? Who'd have thought :-)

It's time to give California their independence and require fucking visas from anyone leaving from there to the US.

Too many people is a migration issue awaiting a starting gun...

New Shelter Magazine had a great article on home heat storage in the March/83 issue, "Active Solar."

I've read a couple others in "NS." That's the only one I can find.

Come on, has no one thought to maybe cut down on the "Clown Car Syndrome?"

"19 and Counting," WTF is wrong with anyone to think that such a family is normal? Why couldn't mental health authorities intervene on an obviously deranged couple? Hell, WTF for more than 3. The planet can never support unrestricted population growth unless the _only_ activities allowed as a society are planting, harvesting, and distributing food. It doesn't require genius to look around and find examples of what will eventually happen everywhere.

The only method that keeps children out of porn sites is strict parental control. If the parent is not able to monitor or control what their child gets into on the internet, then that parent should lock kid out the system unless and until they can actually the monitor the activity.

If you believe otherwise, IMHO, then you really aren't an internet user. Even with blocking software installed, it's possible to find images/videos that most people would classify as porn. That the UK government thinks it can police the internet and prevent users within its borders from accessing porn by legislative fiat is truly laughable.

Short of setting up their own STASI-like operation with half the populace watching the other half's on-line time, I don't see this pipe dream playing out the way they hope it will.

Think about it. We'll finally be able to add real ad blockers!

No more chrome bullshit.

Dude, it's Google Storage, not Dorian Gray's picture ;-)

Your porn stash is ageless :-)

Or if nothing else, force them out of business. No one needs flaky autho.

If that mushhead had not gutted the protections against technology moving outside the US with that one world trading hogwash, we would not be in this situation.

All hail the democrats for once more showing how little difference there is between either major party.

Governments can legislate all they want. The genie is out of the bottle, my friends.

Legislating against an idea is like pissing into a string wind. Sure, you feel some satisfaction in the short-term, but all you've done is gotten yourself wet and made a big mess.

Phind.com has a much superior coding assistant. No wheedling required to get great results. The iterative debugging and development work wonderfully and are probably what OpenAI was thinking of, but didn't pull off.

You can't rely on the cloud for important processes or data.

That's as plug dumb as using Windows in life support equipment.

If you want reliable systems that don't stop working when the weather affects the phone lines or some asshat decides to stop providing a feature/service or otherwise fucks you.

That applies to software subscription models, too.

I take exception to News.com.au lumping "old" and non-technical.

Who the hell do they think put all this fucking technology into play? Martians? No, it was that generation they've characterized as "Old." So a big FU to news.com.au for not realizing that many of those people who started out using paper tapes, punch cards, and 75 baudot acoustic couplers on mainframes with a teletype terminal are still around and still techies.

You should avoid discuss old events with an old person ;-)

Walt died in 1966 and that copyright shit started when the first wave of fucking MBA graduates insinuated themselves into the company in the late 60's. MBAs fucked up Disney just like they did the auto and steel industries with the mantra of profit over capital investment and infrastructure.

No, Walt Disney may have had some serious issues surrounding well-rounded cartoonish backsides ( ;-) ), but he was a decent guy who wanted to provide wholesome entertainment. He worked hard to keep Disneyland segregated from the rest of Anaheim and its dirty reality. That's how Disney World was conceived. He wanted a location where the local community (and it's dismal inhabitants) would neither encroach nor prey upon visitors to the fantasy world he created for us.

That's the plan. Hulu/Crave and Disney don't have enough worthwhile content for most people. They dribble out bullshit shows and old content to look as though they're always adding new material.

Hulu lets you remove things you aren't interested in, but then "re-stocks" the list with the same shit content because they want to fool you into thinking they have plenty of great content - just like a supermarket moving cans from the back of a shelf to the front of the shelf to make it appear as though they have plenty of product.

The truth is that after you've seen the shows you like and begin awaiting new seasons, you're basically giving them money in return for nothing.

Their business needs you to pay for nothing or it can't survive. Break their business model. Pause your subscription for a couple months, come back and watch decent content for a month, then pause it again.
