... around and will still be when all the "commercial Social Media" nonsense has gone the way of the Dodo.

I see nothing wrong with forcing teens to get to know some IT basics and learn to run their own IRC node or webforum. It's the way better way to do things anyway.

Getting emotionally worked up about stuff happening on Wikipedia and with your contributions is a thing you should avoid. Wikipedia has parts and aspects that brink on the random, recognizably driven by ego, ignorance and some mild state of perpetual edit-war. I still occasionally contribute a litte but make a point of not caring to much about what happens with that info.

If there is a fact that I need to be out there in the public, I post it on my own website. Problem solved.

Other than that people shouldn't forget that the internet - Wikipedia or anything else - is a virtual Mad Max Fury Road where you best keep your head low and use a nice bouquet of throw-away spoof accounts to get around and do things. Especially in spaces run by entities or megacorps that are totally beyond your control. As I guess every IT expert here will agree.

... offline capable and redo E-Mail with default encryption and signatures. And in a universal time tick of 3 hours for message passing and updates.

Problem(s) solved.

... and it's still a really useful and powerful tool. Truly impressive IMHO.

When corporations do this it's usually the first step in a major overhaul. The last to go will not get treated so politely, they'll be kicked out.

It's simple logic. I can't provide real value-add as a regular developer or IT expert anymore. AI is good enough in most cases. At the same time we're experiencing a demographic collapse. This means that people are becoming more valuable, not less. The Nash equilibrium of a society banking on this sort of automation is somewhere beyond a fertility crisis and the collapse of culture. The only winning move is to exit the industry, I'm not needed here anymore. I'm currently looking for ways to go back closer to performing arts that I did in the 90ies using my extensive IT skills as a cultural technique rather than a job.

... Anti-Matter Grenades?

Pretty much this.

AFAICT and have heard the cascading climate change effects have already been kicked loose. The planets albedo (it's ratio of reflection) has already dropped into a feedback loop that will only accelerate things. We can kiss our glaciers goodbye and the dutch will likely have to find a new place to stay within this century. As some island nations already have to know.

It's it a guzzling Harley or something with 7+ liters per 100km? Or a SuperCub with 1.5 liters? The latter would be somewhat acceptable IMHO. The former not.

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.

Ah, I had missed Trump accounts because they originally couldn't hold individual stocks according to how congress defined them in the legislation. I was not aware Trump and co were trying to do an end-run around the legislation by arguing that the law doesn't prohibit corporations from donating individual shares.

However, that's a pretty new development, is controversial, and its unclear how it would really work, especially in tandem with the other rules.

Its a little tricky too, as children generally don't have suitable investment accounts that can hold publicly traded shares. I'm doubtful they even legally can open those accounts.

So what are they going to do, issue a gazillion single paper share certificates? What a shitshow that would be, the fees and shipping alone around dealing with that for a single share would be nuts, not to mention the hassle of redeeming them, and the untold numbers that would be misplaced or destroyed. And I'm still not sure children can own them, or sign the agreements required to get them.

What else could the do? Create beneficial trusts for every child? Whose going to administer that? and again the fees and management expenses around it would be nuts all for a $150 space-x share?

It might be reasonable for him to set a bunch aside, and as children reach adulthood, let them claim them at that point.
If the idea is that the kid can't sell it or whatever until they're an adult anyway, its probably fine. It'll be income maybe when they receive it, so that could work out badly for some kids though, if they have to sell it to cover the taxes on it, because they don't have a job yet. Especially if its appreciated to a couple thousand or something. (How are splits etc handled, do they get one or more? Or worse... reverse splits on a single share?)

Are you saying this person is a former female or a former boss?

... I hope this move doesn't screw it up.

For the uninformed: Deno is basically the "new" official non-shitty successor to Node.js. It's secure (closed) by default, supports TypeScript natively without the need for transpilation, has the full browser API on the server side and comes with a bunch of neat other features that turn Jamstack development from the bloated and fickle shit-show that is Node into a chill walk in the park. I've been using it exclusively for a few years now and have come to avoid Node.js like the plague for real world deployment.

The new Xiami 18 Fold is probably still available and is basically the exact same shell hardware build.
And AFAICT it's cheaper and better in the specs. Which was to be expected.

Gotta envy Apple though, how much they got their fan crowd under control. Pretty impressive IMHO.
