I created a little game for my daughter when she was 3. She would press a button and it would show a random picture. If the picture was her, it played a little song and said You Win.

Following on to your comment, is this, "TikTok’s algorithm is designed to learn what type of content users like", what almost all social media does to a certain extent?

The one non-compete clause that I signed was very permissive. There was a short list of companies I could not sign with for a year. I felt it was pretty fair to be honest. Otherwise, I do not sign them.

My daughter went from 18 months through 8th grade and my wife runs the school so, as you may guess, we are big fans. One thing to look for is the certifications. In the US there are (at least) two main Montessori Certification groups, AMI & AMS. The school my wife runs is AMI but I think AMS would be just as good.

What is slightly different than other experiences here is that the school is a Charter school which poses some challenges but does offer Montessori beyond the normal tuition based model.

As for my daughter, her transition has been fairly smooth. The high school she goes to has more than 10x the students as her old school so is much larger. On the other hand, her grades are good, and she is involved in a number of clubs too.

Montessori is not for everyone but I definitely recommend checking it out.

Agreed. At the very minimum the interest rates rising should have been a strong warning.

"And so Figma has won the hearts and minds of these designers. They love it. It wasn't that they disliked Adobe."

In the small sample size of designers I know, they did not like Adobe

I am curious how long the strike will actually last. The President has the authority to order them back to work

Symantec was obligated to pay him a royalty on every box with his picture on it. When I joined Symantec in 1995 they were cursing this royalty and trying to eliminate his picture. Products did not sell as well without it so they kept it until they found it was no longer needed to sell their stuff
