Graphic design skills don’t correlate with effort. I’ve seen terribly designed posters that the makers clearly put a lot of effort and love into because they loved whatever it was they were promoting.

I’ve also seen people put a lot of effort and love into poster and stuff because that interests them (doesn’t mean they’re good at it either), then the event is utter crap because they didn’t spend much time on the actual event.

That would imply a biological change in all humans in the last ~3000 years after humans had already dispersed across the entire globe?

That means whatever the change was would have to had occur simultaneously in separate populations all over the world within almost no time at all.

Not necessarily, could be a change in environment. E.g. teaching people to read by imagining a voice in their head teaches them the voice is their own.

It's probably BS though.

That’s not a biological change.

Learning anything biologically changes your brain.

Writing and reading existed before the Ancient Greeks, including China and Mesoamerica.

So basically "Reflections on Trusting Trust"? Children of changed society are also changed?

The subjective experience doesn’t really matter because many places in the US will experience a 100 degree F range over an entire year. So it’s not the “comfortable range” but the actual range you’ll get in many parts of the US (whether you like it or not).

I quite like Fahrenheit. The 0 to 100F (-17 to 37C) range perfectly encapsulates the range of outdoor temperatures I expect to encounter during the year. If the forecast is outside that range, it’s going to be miserable.

Same. I prefer Celsius for most other things but I find Fahrenheit very well suited to climate usage.

Well it’s definitely not 97 K, it’s definitely not 97 C, so it’s probably 97 F which would put it in the same general ballpark as nearly all terrestrial vertebrates.

I’m closer to Annapolis annd Ft. Meade and we have two huge self-storage facilities that just opened up within a month less than a mile from each other.

There’s lots of military folks around here so maybe people are more likely around here to store stuff for a few years if they get deployed somewhere else and plan to move the family back after? I dunno.

I’ve used self-storage twice in my life: once in college over the summer before moving into a new apartment the next school year and once when we had our first child about a year before moving to a new city and larger house, which let us make room for baby stuff while keeping things we’d use when we had more space.

The cool thing about open source is anyone can fork it and spend their own money asking AI to make a fix.

“Forever” is a long time. That’s quite the claim.

If you’re in the midst of some kind of crisis, whether physical or mental, it’s somewhere safe you can go that’s available 24/7.

From there they can keep you safe until you’re stabilized (physically or mentally) and then refer you to specialists or hospitalize you.

The ERs I'm familiar with would look at you, see that you're not bleeding out or having a heart attack or stroke, and then you'd sit in the waiting room for six hours to finally be seen by an intern who would send you out with a psych referral (probably booked out months in advance).

There are so many things wrong with this story before you even get to the headline.

From the information in the article, I can’t really blame Google for this one. This was a series of deliberate blunders on the part of the father. The first blunder was letting a 9 year old have a YouTube account.

Putting aside whether a 9 year old should be making videos, the father should have been the one with the account and managing the channel.

The article doesn't call it out very loudly, but...

"to a company credit card the father had saved to his own Google account, which his son also used"

It sounds like the son didn't have an account. It was just the father's account, with billing info attached with no limits.

But how was the 9 year old able to do any of this unless they had access to some account?

It says his son also used it, so he gave a 9 year old access to it. Same difference.

Yes, I'm saying the father just let the son use his own account. He didn't bother making a child's account for his son. That's at the root of this.

Question is if it’s reasonable for the father to guess letting the kid use the account would let the kid do this kind of charge. I would say no and put the blame on google.

As a parent, I would say yes. Anyone who has kids know they spend any money you give them access to. I daughter spent $100 on snacks in a week because it on her school swipe account. Kids are just like this. My kid has her own kids google account where all purchases have to be approved explicitly by me, the parent account. The dad could have done that, but he didn't. This is literally why kids accounts exist. There are many horror stories about kids spending their parents money going bad decades. Every parent has a story. There's no way the dad couldn't have considered this as a possibility. This is setting aside that he shouldn't have mixed his work cards with his personal accounts.

Yes and showing the kid how to spam others when he's unhappy with not having as many viewers ad professional streamers is also questionable.
