Rather succinctly explained in the release from the Police:
We stopped the operation because we became aware that criminals were starting to suspect each other of leaking information to the police. This was causing safety risks. That’s why now we make clear that it was us acting upon information from the chats.
Yeah, bullshit. Are you suggesting that ISPs, who are competitive and have no skin in this particular game, are going to cut off all the set-top boxes and smart TVs or they can somehow differentiate between network devices behind a router? Even if they could, what is their motivation?
Yeah, but that's as adults who are experts in their field* with/something/ to say to a group of people that are interested in that subject. (this I have no problem with)
That's a long way from a child with nothing to say to a bunch of other children with no interest in anything they might have to say on any subject. (this I found exceptionally taxing)
*A caveat.. a lot of people in these fields have imposter syndrome and are anxious that they will be unmasked, but they're adults and they need to get over that.
I guess people are trying to make the point that early exposure is how you solve the problem, and/that/ is the biggest lie. Forcing the issue on children makes it worse on the adult since they get to remember the intense feelings they had as a child.
If you don't like the juggling example, perhaps you could insist all children must demonstrate the ability to do 20 pushups in front of the class before they can graduate, then you can exclude the confident fatties too.
Are you forcing the athletes to do calculus in front of the class?
Are you forcing a couple of geeks to get up the front and juggle?
Then what the fuck is this bullshit where you penalize the introverts that tend to be the ones that actually DO everything while the extroverts talk to each other about it?
40 is about when I gave up smoking... it seems to be like everything else, easier the more often you do it. This last time has been 5 years but there were probably 8 attempts.
Everyone that isn't me then... not that I use Skype much either, but no way I'd use Facebook anything. Signal is more likely, does that do video? Oh, wait, why the hell would I even care? Video is for raving narcissists and grandmothers.
Yeah, but that long term support is like this pretend UBI; it punishes you for getting "some" work.
If you tell someone you'll give them $330/week but take 50c back of every dollar they earn, that looks like a 50% effective tax rate. If you want long term unemployed, that's how you get long term unemployed. Plus these weekly earnings systems always have massive holes in them for people that can get lumpy payments; "oh yeah, I earned $50,000 this week from the sale of the flipper house I've been renovating with my brother. I guess I don't get this week's $330..."
If however you give them the $330 unconditionally, but they have to do some weekly paperwork to get it, by the time they're making $660 a week a lot of them wouldn't bother to do the paperwork or feel it was beneath them.
If that was the case then they'd jack up my tax by (at least) $17,000/year, so take with one hand, give back with the other. Still effectively zero.
Not that I think that's a bad idea, by the time people were earning $35,000/year they're much less likely to jump through the hoops to claim another $17,000 and by the time they're earning $70,000/year they're paying themselves and someone else.
The alternative is to have people that are unemployable stealing $50,000 of shit/year to make $10,000. It's much cheaper to just give them the $17,000 in the first place.

It's worse, it's like suggesting Walmart should pay road tax because how else are their customers going to get to the store.
Collateral damage.

Added to that, they tend to travel a lot less than a phone, so there's not nearly as much drop induced replacement going on.
Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with Blender that isn't "not what I'm used to".
You're forgetting the massively inflated reach numbers... https://www.theregister.co.uk/...

Kids appear to be just as messed up in Europe as the U.S.
Appear? Lol on what metric?
You've never left the lower 48 states, have you?
No matter how hard they work for 6 hours won't let them answer a phone between 3 and 5 when they're not working.
So employ more people? No one does anything useful with a call after 3 anyway, unless it's in a 24/7 service industry.
when you have one company where people only work four days a week, and another where they work 5+ the results are inevitable when they compete...
You've never heard of shifts? How do you think a 24 hour McDonalds works? Teenagers that never leave?
Who do I need to trustlessly transact with?
Are you suggesting it's cheaper than merchant fees/paying for trust?
Yeah, no.

Fellatio is a much more marketable skill than public speaking, should we insist they all give that a go in front of the class too?
Introverts are not necessarily anxious; https://www.quietrev.com/the-4...

How many 12 year old engineers you know?
Also later in life the punishment for being awkward doesn't tend to be bullying; there is NO worse time to attempt public speaking than grade school

Perhaps the one that was publishing iPhone leaks for months?
Nah....
I was really hoping for a THANKS, OBAMA! post, but I guess this thread will have to do /sigh.
Arbitration is just cheaper and faster, it doesn't make illegal shit any more legal.
Why would I pay $15 per month instead of just going on Tuesday or Wednesday
Because you have a job?
I still don't see how even that would be profitable, unless the expect people to subscribe to MoviePass in the same way as the gym...
