I'm not sure that making parents legally culpable for their kids being smart enough to download a new browser is LESS government intrusion.

I think the idea is that the manufacturers are culpable for making a parental restriction mode that's set-and-forget and not easily thwarted from inside the mode and parents are culpable for declining to set it.

Which I still don't love, but is at least more fair.


It could be added at the router? The child's computer could be identified and this header added, in a MITM situation... but, maybe that would be easy to defeat, by replacing the cert on the client? Not my area of expertise... really just asking...

There's no reason to hold the parents culpable. It would be up to the device manufacturer to ensure that this isn't possible on a system that has parental controls enabled. This is already a solved problem - see how MDM solutions do it, and see Apple's ban on alternative browsers.

It's not even necessary to block parents from giving their children Linux desktops or whatever. It'll largely solve the problem if parents are merely expected to enable parental controls on devices that have the capability.


More use cases for AI than blockchain so far.

Quite a low bar.

Block chain is more like some gooey organic substance on the ground than a bar.

An EM fields theory of consciousness seems obviously wrong? We do not have subjective experiences in response to external magnetic fields. Not even to very strong, quickly changing fields as in an fMRI scan.


I would have lawyered up. But the experience seems to have turned you into a mindless rule follower.


Quite the contrary, it solidified for me how silly the 'rules are rules' thinking is.

Does that mean it should trade at a 600 P/E?


This is Michael Burry we're talking about.


With shorting, you run the additional risks that you could lose the borrow and be forced to buy back at any time. Or get margin called if the price moves against you. With puts, you have to get the timing right, but no external factors can force you out of your position.


Read the article. He used options, which can't be margin called because they're already paid in full.


When Trump replaces Powell next year, the odds of the Fed doing something other than bathing a crisis in liquidity goes way up.


To add some context -

Powell's 4-year term ends January 31, 2026. Whether he is reconfirmed by the Senate for another term is an open question.


Uhh... Powell's term as chairman ends in May 2026. His term as a board member ends Jan 2028. Senate confirmation is irrelevant because Trump will not nominate him again for anything.


Bah, you are correct [1]. I got my date from the Wikipedia page and apparently it's wrong.
