The burger ad is also getting people addicted and destroying lives. But with burgers most people blame the victims. In my opinion it's all the same. Gambling, junk food, drugs, guns... Lots of money to be made, lots of lives destroyed.

Even if you assume the cost of lodging was 1000€ (which it isn't) then the au-pair would still be significantly underpaid. A normal full time employee costs at least 2000€ a month (salary, tax, pension plan, health insurance, etc). If

giving each of our kids their own room reduced our families stress level significantly. it's not 100% necessary, but i really don't think that making kids share a room helps them get along better....

If a blocklist doesn't get updated it is outdated in a week. Some tools are useful without updates. A blocklist for AI content farms that are sprouting like crazy is not helpful if it isn't updated.

I've worked with an organisation that was on the receiving end of a popular charity, and they definitely got something (new playground equipment for disabled children). Can't say how efficient the charity was, but there are defini

The jokes are not new. If you read Philip K Dick or Douglas Adams there's a lot of satirical predictions of the future that sound quite similar. What's amazing about LLMs is how they manage to almost instantly draw from the distil

My son started walking at 8.5 months. He's got a 3.5 month head start on those 12 month walking late bloomers. I have very high expectations. I wonder where his walking skills are going to take him one day, but this comment worries me

You are missing inertia! The state of each ball can be described by 9 parameters: the current location of the center of mass (x,y,z), the current linear velocity (vx, vy, xz) and the angular velocity on 3 axes. I don't think the forces

I looked up that Impulse Labs induction hob. Holy Shit, 10kW peak on a single burner is ridiculous! I already managed to ruin a pan with just 3.7kW (heated it while empty), and I tought that was a lot. However, I think the cost is probably
