The "your parents" are only harmed if the public benefit from taxes don't offset the benefit that is received directly in the funding of the 401k or other relevant investment accounts.

In America anyway, the wealthiest 1% own 53% of the stock market. I highly doubt that the "your parents" would benefit more from funding of their investment accounts than they would benefit from the tax revenue generated. Of course my assumption is highly dependent on public policy.

> It lost slightly more than $1 billion in 2021 and $783 million in 2020, after accounting for operating expenses and money set aside to cover possible losses on loans

That seems like an enormous amount of money to support buy now and pay later

Before I got hit with long covid, I was in the best shape of my life, and was doing all of those things on that list. I was running 1.5 miles and exercising several days a week.

It absolutely didn't prevent me from experiencing long covid.

Not for everybody, also it would be great to consume textual content in a variety of voices, or even my own.

Flight information provided to the FAA is considered public information. This is funded with taxpayer money, and is not privy to privacy.

I've got a few smart switches that adjust the lights at a specific time in the evening. It really helps my children transition into the evening routine. It also helps me not lose track of time so I can keep that evening routine.

In the last example, wouldn't a Singleton to represent a null student be more effective since you could do a check for the null student by reference?

Why are you saying this? There is literally no mention of social media in this article. The data (at least from the original project) is mined from publicly available data, which could be social media data, but that data has to be made public in the first place.

It is possible that the "Research Grade" version of the program does use that data, but there is no evidence of that here.
