The rhetoric around this seems more like “Force them to be our specific vision of kids”.
As in, I didn’t have social media when I was 14 so 14 year olds now shouldn’t either.
I think we should be more clear about the problem we’re trying to solve and more targeted in how we solve it.

I wonder if communities will grow on smaller forums where the age restriction is not enforced.
Or is the age of the small forum past and the big social media networks rule now?

I had a look at the contract and it appears to include hosting and operating the site for 10 years as well as the rebuild.

I’d much rather see them divorce it from tax relief. Convert it to a rebate or coupon. Make it available to those on minimum wage and allow them to get as much benefit as someone on £100,000.

Or at least if they still do, it will take up less of the footpath leaving more for its intended users. Also less damage because it weighs less.

Even without digging to get the correct data, I know that we didn’t suddenly install five times more solar capacity in 2023 than in all years previously, so Lomborg’s explanation can’t be correct.

Someone who “settled” for an IT job is going to be outperformed by someone whose passion is computing. And there a lot of the latter out there.

I wonder what effect it has had on those empty second homes. The outcome that actually matters.

It’s right there in the first sentence. They think the goal of the tax was to “raise revenue” and since some people sold their second homes to avoid the tax they raised less than expected.

We saw the cost of building a bridge and decided that a few kids getting run over was acceptable to us.

So often they demand that we fill potholes instead of building bike lanes.
Dude! It’s the same thing. Every cyclist in the bike lane is someone who isn’t making the potholes bigger with their car.

To avoid that lost revenue they could re-hire back to their former staffing levels, but hiring isn’t cheap either. At one day of labour per hire, a thousand newly hired staff represents three years of man-hours just getting them in the door.

From the looks of that picture it would mostly flow straight into the sea. During a cyclone I’d imagine that would result in rapid dispersal along the coastline with no possibility of containment.

A reminder in the five years leading up to the construction of safe cycleways in 2015 with floating bus stops five people died cycling between Stratford and the City. In the ten years the cycleways have been open with safe floating bus stops there have been no deaths and is now safe for everyone

another day, another punter caught using AI in court because the cases they cited do not exist.
this time: a Queensland health employee who didn't get the COVID-19 vaccinations despite the mandate missed the deadline to file for unfair dismissal but appealed citing 5 non-existent precedents
