imo childcare is at most two of: low cost, high quality, low time commitment

It's also objectively none of your business?

Individualism taken to the insane.

“How the next generation of your society is raised is none of your business”. Take some ownership


It's insane individualism to think other ppl don't get to dictate what kind of food people feed their kids?

Yes it is.

Kids grow up to run the world, a world I’m going to live in. I have a stake in that. This should be obvious if we take our civilization seriously.


We can barely even meaningfully define UPFs, and they aren't cleanly correlated with junk food.

Potato Chips are not UPFs but tortillas with an added preservative are.

Ice cream purchased at the store that has emulsifiers is a UPF. Homemade ice cream is not. But I think we'd agree that it is the fat and sugar in the ice cream that is the bad part to feed to kids.


I will go further and say that eating some ice cream does not hurt kids at all. No, you are not a bad parent because you gave your kid ice cream. And fat is completely legitimate part of food. Likewise sacharides.

I can simultaneously criticize your parenting and not want the government to "dictate" it be otherwise.

"I say whatever I want and people can't tell me to stfu" who is the insane individualist now?

Who are you quoting?

The collective well-being of the society I live in is my business.

Is it your business to tell AndrewKemendo what his business is?

Gee it’s a discussion forum my dude - people giving opinions on things that would otherwise be none of their business is what it’s for.

Well that's just like, my opinion man

It can not be your business and you're allowed to still have opinions on it. It's one thing to discredit opinions you think aren't someone's business - that's fine, maybe even understandable.

But everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you can't just make people shut up. It doesn't work like that.

If you feed your kid rocks yes I think you are stupid and yes I think you should've worn a condom. Whatever, who cares, listen or don't.


All of society is impacted by terrible parents who raise terrible kids.

As a black man in America I can promise you that how you raise your children will objectively be my problem

If everybody around me trains their children to be fascists that’s clearly my problem

How Society runs is everybody’s business


Lol iPad, social media, and processed food consumption is going to be your problem? OP was not talking about values, he was talking about the day to day specifics of child rearing.

please refrain from personal attacks, it makes the discussion unpleasant to read.

As a white man/parent in America - same!

Bets on how long it takes to get back to 10k employees?

Imo companies cannot fucking help themselves but continue to grow. Meta is already back above 2021 headcount, after cutting 20k employees in 2022. Managers want to Senior Managers want to be Directors want to be VPs. The best way to do that is to grow "scope" aka people under you. And since Jack wants to be Elon and Elon wants to be God, they will happily buy that story...


> Persona extracts the mathematical geometry of your face from your selfie and from your passport photo. This isn’t just a picture — it’s a numerical map of the distances between your eyes, the shape of your jawline, the geometry of your features. It’s data that uniquely identifies you. And unlike a password, you can’t change your face if it gets compromised

Is there anything special about a passport photo, or can that be done from any photo of your face?


When I read selfie, I was thinking of one of those motion-based selfies where it's really a short video. And from the video, you can extract those measurements. I'm assuming it wasn't extracted from the passport photo, but rather the passport photo was used to verify that the selfie is of the same person that the passport belongs to.


Jesus no wonder 10% of Americans are on SSRIs, if this is the kind of petty stuff people are ruminating on...


Plus a chance to dunk on their biggest competitor for ad revenue and clicks (Facebook)


In what sense are Facebook and the BBC competitors?


In the sense that Facebook tries to keep everyone inside Facebook? I haven't kept up with it, but isn't Facebook well known for trying to prevent orders from browsing out?


> Or is everyone just determined to be angry regardless of what they do?

People decide who they think are the good guys and who they think are the bad guys first, then view subsequent events through that lens.


There is no evidence presented that internally "vibe coded" products are the reason hubspot et al are struggling right now. If anything, the fact that the divergence from the broader index starts in April of last year (well before the current vibe coding moment got going) is evidence that this is something else.


Yes, that is the same because second degree kid noises also cause cancer.

  A full range of scientific evidence, extending from the molecular level to whole populations, supports the conclusion that secondhand smoke causes disease. The scope of this evidence is enormous, and encompasses not only the literature on secondhand smoke but also relevant findings on active smoking and on the toxicity of individual tobacco smoke components.

There's gotta be a Moore's law corollary for "Doom ported to [blank]" milestones. I wonder where this all ends? Doom ported to a mechanical pencil! Doom ported to a clipper card! To a lightbulb??


It all ends with it is ported to a paperclip machine [1].
