Based on some economic models I’ve read about, the only countries whose GDP will be hurt by this are America, Canada and Mexico. In that order.

Most of the world is expected to break even or benefit because countries will act in their best interest and route around Trump’s stupid.

Android and privacy are incongruent.

The reasons the article gives are because android chooses not to be an intermediate.

Bold of you to assume they’ll use Java and not some obscure language picked based on the need to pad their resumes.

They got into the profession for the money and not because they actually like the work.

Google would still own android and may not be inclined to keep chrome as the default. That is a significant portion of the browser’s user base.

With default search engine agreements being threatened, it may shake out where Google and Firefox agreed to make Firefox the default android browser in exchange for keeping Google their default search engine.

The raise your child to use a device appropriately. Waiting until they are a teenager is far too late to form the appropriate habits around self limiting screen time.

I get that no one wants to blame the device but this is clearly a parenting issue and I say this as someone who has on average raised far more children than anyone in my generation.

But go ahead and lean into the articles that blame on the evil algorithms and the evil corporations. Personal and parental responsibility is hard anx blaming outside influences is easy.

Raise your children or someone else will do it for you.

So I wasn’t sure if you were an asshole, but based on this comment, I’m am not certain you are.

I say this because it’s fun for me and I’ve been taught to speak at my audience’s level.

It’s pretty clear the issue here is you. Specifically, your reaction. The solution to than can only come from you. The world will not bend to you and the world is not responsible for making you feel certain things, that’s all you.

13? How many of their friends have phones because I would assume their using phones, just not one you gave them and I know from experience other parents do not do the most basic of filtering in their kids devices.

It’s a technology sub and I’ve been around long enough to know this is where the morons of the internet hang out but not everyone is as aware of the pattern.

A modern day equivalent of “we don’t own a tv”

Sure, but let’s pretend this one hasn’t done significantly more than others.

If China is subsidizing the vheicle and we purchase them here, that means we are drawing from China’s subsidies.

The claim is this is to save industries but the notion that was need to save specific industry is never questioned.

We’re told we’re protecting jobs but that’s bullshit. We’re only protecting the profits of capitalists.

Whomp whomp. You get what you pay for.

The average is 18-24 months.

1/4 of all car loans involve negative equity.

Well over 60% of loans are over 72 months which significantly increases the time for loans build any equity.

But we are also talking about teslas which are being killed in the used market

Gap insurance

Whereas they have to treat all men as though they are their worst iterations just to be safe, and that can be frustrating and confusing and they also know that it’s hurtful to treat men who may not be terrible that way.

It’s more complicated than that. They have to treat men with unearned respect while planning for the worse. Treating man as a threat can make him a threat if he feels his masculinity is threaten he may act erratically.

To put it the other way, they don’t have to worry about managing the bear’s feelings.

Only a fool would put an Amazon listening device in their home.

They can’t even effectively prevent cheaters so I’m always suspicious what the real intent of these rootkits.

No one wants to admit they are part of the problem. The more they contribute to the problem, the stronger their resistance.
