So much for all the EdTech startups that want you to use their AI teachers. Seriously, this should be a major signal to keep screens and AI solutions out of classrooms. That's not solving everything but at least students would be given a few hours window of de-brainroting everyday. I'm open to accept that AI can have a positive impact on education but people and tools are apparently not ready and for the moment using it is a net negative.
> the impetus for the most authoritarian internet regulation in the UK, including the <16s ban, has come from the affluent/wealthy/1% elite on the political right wing
Very strong take with no justification at all. What we observe is that many developped countries with different political orientations are currently taking action against harm caused by social media and more generally by excessive screen time. This is not about political right wing.
>It’s easy to understand why: the upper classes have always objectified their children into possessions. These are groups who, culturally, do not want their children to have agency over their own lives, nevermind devices, nor do they want their young adults to develop essential skills to live their lives as independent adults. They never have. And they never did themselves,
Really sounds like a frustrated person that projects his own problems on the rest of the world. And totally not relevant to the debate about the impact of social media on teenagers.
France have already moved to ban screens from places with children under 3. Other countries (including UK, Australia) are also setting strong limits on screen use for kids under 5. This is for a reason.
Products like this are driven by business interests, not good will. Good parenting with screen control is the best way to have a fulfilled and happy child. Protect your children, keep them away from screens while they are under 5 and guide them carefully when you introduce screen time.
Power impacts frequency, reactive power impacts voltage. It doesn't make sense to "cut power when frequency drops".
How are stories ranked?
The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.
Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action.
In the comments I mostly see "because of js and adtech", but is there a factual analysis somewhere ? How much is due to the recent massive deployment of https and related latency ? Is it a problem of latency or bandwidth ? What type of contents is causing most of the waiting time ? Images, css, js ? Just wondering
"All computers that Dell currently ships are Modern Standby compliant and the above applies. A registry key that Dell leaves in a neutral state controls this behavior, neither prohibiting nor enforcing encryption. Windows interprets this as approval to encrypt." https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/fr-fr/000124361/bitlocker...
So for the end-user bitlocker is enabled by default. It is obscure enough that our team missed that they had to backup something before using their computers.
It is a known issue : KB5012170 security update will lock the computer and show the bitlocker screen after a reboot. Apparently that's not the case for all configurations, but the bug has been encountered on Windows 8, 10 and 11.We are a small startup with ~20 windows laptops, with recent hardware and legit licences. And since a few days it's chaos because everyone is having the bitlocker...
"No."
So right now it is practically impossible to use Google Analytics in a legal way in France.
You can do simple things with modern devops tools. You can go off rails with simple scripts. It's not the tooling, it's about engineering maturity and the requirements of what you're building.
"The electricity used for Bitcoin produces about 22 megatons of CO2 annually, a study in the scientific journal Joule estimated. That is as much as Kansas City in the US."
Bitcoin = Kansas City
Besides, futures trading has existed a long time on chinese platforms before CME and CBOE joined the party.
It really is a waste of time to speculate why bitcoin price is going up or down on such timescale.
Try d3.js for instance, the rendering speed is horribly slow on Firefox.
I won't be switching to Firefox unless its performances get closer to Chrome's.
As a developper I wish I could contribute to make a better Firefox, but I'm pretty sure the technical level is too high for me.
