Sorry: serious question. What do you mean?

What content shouldn't children be accessing? Is the content a 7, 11 or 16 year old shouldn't access different between age brackets? Who makes that determination? Is this access restriction at the whole site level, or per-post? Does safe-harbor apply, or is a site-operator liable for age-inappropriate content it hosts for its clients? On S3, for example, is each object tagged with an age category, or would it have to be a totally separate S3, like GovCloud?

But a regular database can do that with PKI. Crypto isn't just a reliable ledger -- it's a reliable ledger between an arbitrary number of mutually distrusting parties. Which doesn't really describe banks in a regulated, functioning economy.

And probably bought a pizza at some point, too. That's not studying. Shameful liar.

I wonder if there's a plan to prevent the spam/malware/csam issues of the previous iteration of Send. Maybe that it's a paid service will help stop that?

Diversity tends to work best when there's alignment to a common goal, and diversity is adding perspectives on how to get there. Consider creating a product that will be used by people from different cultures or backgrounds. But when there's significant difference of opinion about the directional goal, as is often the case with political/ideological differences, then that diversity can be adding friction rather than insight.

Republicans will never be good at leading the EPA, basically.

Presumably the salaried people weren't clamoring for more hours?

Isn't their layoff a tacit admission that they should have grown more slowly, though?

Out of curiosity, what might that evidence Christianity is wrong be?

If you're not yet updated to the January Google Play system, can you keep the phone from auto-updating? I know how to do this for a full Android system update, but not for Google Play Services.
