I assume the person you're responding to is referring to the fact that Trump lost and ended up inciting an insurrection against the federal government in an attempt to prevent his opponent from taking power.

That's not really ending on a good note.

Then, they’ll be prompted to give permission for your site or app to send notifications. Users will be able to view and manage notifications in Notifications Center, and customize styles and turn notifications off per website in Notifications Settings.

Looks like there will be some interaction required to prompt it.

That being said, hoping there's a browser-level option to just turn it off.

Unless you want to unplug your modem, turn off your cell service, and live life as a luddite, your privacy on the internet doesn't exist.

> Why do people always bring this up when people talk about "Facebook"?

Wasn't one of the points of their recent rebrand to Meta to better define "Facebook" as a singular product, and not the company and its other products?

> * Bait and switch. Now replies to the original tweet will be out of context

I used to think this could be a problem too... but Reddit has had an edit button as long as I can remember, and bait and switch doesn't really seem to be much of a problem.

Perhaps it'd be more troublesome with the concept of retweets or quote tweets?

> as long as it’s not tracking people

I'm sure some sites don't do this, but plenty do.

I'm still having trouble finding any sort of indication that there's a law on the books that prohibits travelers from bringing whatever sunscreen they want into the state via air (or boat, I suppose). Nothing on banning possession either. Do you have a source?

Best I can find is that Hawaii prohibits the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone or octinoxate, which took effect in 2021.

> Since Hawaii is an island, everyone needs to buy sunscreen on arrival after landing at the airport.

If you're implying this is somehow enforced at the airport, this is not even remotely true.

Source: Brought my own sunscreen from outside of Hawaii and used it all last week while visiting.

> Is there any recourse here?

Freeze your credit reports at the 3 bureaus. And start checking your credit report on a regular basis at: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/

And to your point, the exact text is:

> Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

Discussions on gender identity and sexual orientation are the only topics outlined as not allowed.

Actual sex education (whether it's the act itself, topics on puberty, etc.) seems to still be on the table.

It is beneficial, just not from a financial aspect.

With Reedy Creek, Disney doesn't need to worry about whether local politicians will approve expansions or meet the needs of the Walt Disney World complex since the local government is purely serving Disney.

If you take a look at Disneyland in California, Disney is going up against Anaheim and Orange County councils on a pretty routine basis to get new things built.

Not sure where that idea comes from, but Disney absolutely pays taxes and your claim is false. In fact, the special tax district is allowed to (and does) charge Disney additional taxes over the state maximum to provide services like utilities and infrastructure.

Removing the tax district means it is illegal for Orange/Osceola Counties to continue charging the extra taxes to Disney to pay for their infrastruture.

If anything, it's a financial sweetheart deal for Florida, not for Disney. The thing Disney gets out of it is being able to maintain their property to the standard of their liking.

> not educated enough to think critically and realize their tax dollars will now subsidize the millions (billions?) of dollars of infrastructure

For what it's worth, it's likely residents of Orange and Osceola Counties will be taking up most of that extra tax burden. Both of those counties are relatively blue, and neither of them voted for DeSantis... so that's probably just gravy to him.

> local governments who would likely be bending over backwards to appease the house of mouse.

This part isn't necessarily guaranteed. Over in California, Disneyland frequently has trouble with Anaheim/Orange County when seeking approval for new projects. They've had entire hotels and parking structures designed, publicly announced, and then canceled because the local government wouldn't play ball.

The only thing that guarantees Disney's continued ability to build whatever in Florida is if they continue to be their own local government.

> This sounds like something is changing somewhere

Well, their parent company (Warner Bros. Discovery) just completed a big merger 2 weeks ago.

Depends on the bot owner on whether they want to be respectful. Following the link to the TurnItIn bot...

> Q: How can I completely exclude TurnitinBot from my site?

> To exclude TurnitinBot from all or portions of your site all you have to to do is create a file called robots.txt and put it in the top most directory of your web site.

> On Twitter my name is "BraveSampson,"

It doesn't look like this is the case, fwiw. (Unless your HN profile lists an outdated handle?)

I'd consider it broken. In many other cases, if I make a typo in my search, Google will (rather prominently, IMO) at the top of the search display something like:

> Showing results for "When did Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon?"

> Show instead for "When did Neil Armwrong set foot on the Moon?"

However, it seems to only work for actual spelling errors (e.g. if I typed Armstrong incorrectly) vs. context errors.

So to answer your question, I'd expect Google calling out its interpretation, but not necessarily a "never".

It doesn't seem that the law bans any sex education. Specifically, it bans discussion on "sexual orientation or gender identity", not discussion on sex, puberty, or anything else like that.

> These people are all fairly well paid, so none of this "just doing muh job" nonsense.

The most logical explanation I can come up with is that there are compensation incentives tied to financial performance (or even just project completion), and this sort of thing will probably boost the financials enough to trigger those payouts. When enough money's on the line, I'm sure it's easy to wave away any feelings about the end user.

I also can't remember the last time I had to swipe a card where I am in the US. I also prefer using Apple Pay, and tbh, can't remember the last time I had to use my physical card.

Occupancy limits are somewhat common in many cities/towns. But probably only enforced via neighborly complaint, so you don't really hear about them.

Just searching "occupancy limits city" popped up the limits for Boulder, CO: https://bouldercolorado.gov/occupancy-limits

All you need to do is unplug your modem and you're good to go.

This is even worse (depending on how much you mind cheating, hah) when you know the other person's usual "starting words".

This is me. I was previously going to a brick & mortar gym in the CA Bay Area and paying $120/mo for unlimited classes per month. Doing the math on the upfront cost of the bike, plus $40/mo for the class access, still made financial sense for me. (I also took advantage of a deal through my credit card that got me 3 free months of subscription, plus lots of bonus points to use for travel later.)

Its eruption history is on the order of once every hundreds of years. By the time its next eruption comes around, it's very possible that infrastructure will be long gone for other reasons.

In most cases, infrastructure existence and placement is barely a blip on geologic time.

> And then you have idiots that build train tracks and highways right through lava

I was disappointed to see no active lava flows in your linked image. What you show is simply a road and train tracks built on top of rocks.

> What's the point of farming karma on a throwaway account ?

reddit accounts are built up and then sold[0][1], and then used for who knows what. Helps to have an "established" account with high karma and a post history.

In more popular subreddits (like /r/funny), you'll see frequent re-postings of content from 5+ years ago just for the "karma whoring" as it's called.

What am I forgetting?

About your Disney+ example, I do wonder why it seems that a lot of content like that isn't available on the platform.

Are there streaming rights issues? Are they holding back content to drip feed content drops for as long as they can? Did they determine that some content isn't worth digging up the tapes and preparing for streaming?
