I think this is not so much a gripe about Apple's new chip, as it is the painfully fragile nature of maintaining access to anything digital made in closed formats. We are, for good…

You commented on my comment, using your experience to support a claim that societal pressure about who parents (and how) is biologically driven. I countered with my own experience …

I'm in a hetro marriage, my kids come to me for 'mothering,' in about equal measure as they do to my wife. And they did that when they were infants as well. My wife did not do well…

A question I have here, is _was_ he parenting before the divorce? The court has only the testimony and financial state of the two people on which to go with. If he was the one maki…

but the courts enforcing desegregation did work at the societal pressure level. What I'm saying is that denying the fact that a partner gave up career growth to parent does not cha…

What does that look like in this situation? I agree, in theory, but _how_ is it applied to a divorce? How does it apply to the financial power imbalance of 'breadwinner' and 'activ…

Sure, but the 'fix,' if there is one, likely needs to start with the social pressures on women to give up their lives to parent, with more equitable parenting expectations overall,…

But we won't have an assistant that digested the world's libraries. We'll have an advertising company gatekeeping the digitally digested world's libraries. I think that's worth wor…

I see a bunch of network neutrality confusion here. This is not anti-net neutrality, nor is it pro-net neutrality. It's saying: Rather than accept the unknown path between your cus…

Thanks for the context!

Is there something new that's happened for this to be news?

Both UPS and FedEx deliveries arrive at my front door in good condition, the delivery drivers bag the packages up if I'm not home and it looks like rain. USPS consistently rings my…

on the third party front, it's _you_ who is the third party. My security team would have kittens if I were to link slack/email/anything to ya'll. I think that's what's at issue, no…

This starts to explain why any vinyl records I order from the UK/Europe come in a package that is insufficient to protect the record. And US orders come wrapped in layers of cardbo…
