My favorite cartoon as a kid had a triceratops at a hero. I don’t remember much about it and can’t find it listed online but it might have been from 1970s and I really just remember the triceratops charging at the bad guys, shooting lasers out of his horns

Apple provides a lot of choices through “Family Sharing” where parents manage settings through iCloud. You can restrict apps, times, duration, content by ratings, websites, purchases, calling, etc
When my kids were little and got their first phones, Family Sharing didn’t really exist yet, but there were apps that might be more similar to what you’re thinking. However my restrictions actions were pretty minimal - mainly to limit screen time overall and after lights out
- my kids were especially annoyed about blocking mature content on YouTube - most videos are unrated so the all get blocked. It’s just not worth trying
- when I tried blocking explicit web sites, they just used other devices. While I expected them to find a way around the restrictions pretty easily, it was ridiculous how many different types of devices Id need to do that on, and each did it a different way with different capabilities. It’s just not worth it. Pay attention to your kids and trust them instead
That’s been a long term problem. The bigger concern right now is US over the last decade or so becoming the biggest fossil fuel producer and exporter ever.
At this point, peer pressure should be sufficient. I just read here 30 states have higher than the federal minimum wage, so how does that not translate into a 60% vote for at least whichever of those 30 is lowest?
Old enough to run for President!
We could call it “Social Security”. Before there was GoFundMe, there were taxes that could be used in a similar fashion for expenses society finds valuable.
I’ll be the evil right wing swine here and say it out loud - I don’t expect you to be able to retire from a part time minimum wage job, but that’s also the reason we have ’safety nets’ that are supposed to ‘catch’ you in these cases. It shouldn’t be a surprise that you can’t retire from a McDonalds gig but don’t let your outrage redirect you from the “one in four adults do not have any retirement savings”, or the (implied?) social security is insufficient
Damn boomers won’t move on from their posh jobs and make room for up and coming millennials!
That’s so cool! Thanks for that link, it made my day
a bug in CrowdStrike’s cloud-based testing system
Always blame the tests. There are so many dark patterns in this industry including blaming qa for being the last group to touch a release, that I never believe “it’s the tests”.
There’s usually something more systemic going on where something like this is missed by project management and developers, or maybe they have a blind spot that it will never happen, or maybe there’s a lack of communication or planning, or maybe they outsourced testing to the cheapest offshore providers, or maybe everyone has huge time pressure, but “it’s the tests”
Ok, maybe I’m not impartial, but when I’m doing a root cause on how something like this got out, my employer expects a better answer than “it’s the tests”
Tesla is a a great counter-example. Before Musks true colors came out, Tesla stock went on a wild ride long before the company made a profit, and is frequently priced way above anything justifiable by current income or profit. It’s all based on hope for a long term plan to change the world and eventually make huge profits, rather than short term goals.
As a hypothetical investor, if you stayed away from companies like Tesla, you would miss some stocks with the highest returns
Including. Mine, but that leaves out almost half the states. Sometimes politics is about compromise, and a compromise to at least restore purchasing power is better than a living wages ideal that never happens
