Huh?

Most people ignore the speed limit, per their individual judgment. Does limits aren't magical safe driving speeds for all vehicles and weather conditions.

lonelappde··on Where there's smoke – the cigarettes-and-Covid story is growing harder to ignore

lonelappde··on Pi-hole 5.0
I set up pihole on docker on Windows and it worked great until I rebooted and then the pihoke server (both ports 53 and 80) was unreachable from outside docker even though docker claimed to be forwarding the ports.

So I switched to AdGuard DNS on my devices.

I don't see why being addicted or suicidal makes someone unworthy of love.

AT&T reformed as regional monopolies in far less time than it took the government to break up the national monopoly.

lonelappde··on Little Richard has died
There is no greater tribute than to have the architect of Rock and Roll sing your songs. Nothing Little Richard could say about Otis Redding could top that.
lonelappde··on Little Richard has died
A lot of people who came up in the 80s as 90s (when he returned after his hiatus) saw him as a kooky famous for being famous musical celebrity, and had no idea the amazing reason why he was so beloved and sought after by the adults making movies and records.

lonelappde··on School districts are sending WiFi-equipped buses to poor and rural neighborhoods
They have to take turns or share or use cheap phones?

Before industrialized schooling, mixed age classrooms were the norm.

Subsidized wireless is better.
lonelappde··on School districts are sending WiFi-equipped buses to poor and rural neighborhoods
Have people forgot that hotspots still exist? T-Mobile still allows it.

One phone can serve multiple nearby devices.

lonelappde··on School districts are sending WiFi-equipped buses to poor and rural neighborhoods
The wifi provides an opportunity for someone outside of the home to "babysit" the kids. In can provide improvement at the margin, if managed well.

Also, people have greed that can be exploited. If you want to continue your (admirable!) effort you can offer a different bribe.

Another point to note is that if the kid got halfway through the chapter on exponents, he's doing pretty well! Failure at math education means years behind, not weeks behind.

You shouldn't make extreme claims about what other people supposedly said without showing evidence.
lonelappde··on James Damore and three others end Google suit
Damore was character assassinated via leaks and libel, yes. Pragmatically, he could have prevented his fate if he took the opportunity to back down when challenged by corporate, instead of defending his right to free honest speech at a megacorp. He erroneously thought that because controversial party-line free-speech was job-safe even when intellectually dishonest, that controversial anti-party-line free speech was also job-safe.
