Kids in Lower Merion school district in Pennsylvania get iPads starting in kindergarten, switch to Chromebooks in second grade and get their own MacBooks in eighth grade. Hundreds of parents signed a petition asking to preserve their ability to opt their children out of using digital devices during the school day. The school district has pushed back, saying itâs not feasible to let hundreds of students opt out of technology that is essential to the curriculum.
Elon Musk is the planetâs richest person by far, worth $839 billion as of Forbesâ annual Worldâs Billionaires list. He also ranks among the least philanthropic billionaires.
Sure, Musk has transferred $8.5 billion of Tesla stock to his charitable foundations (1% of his net worth)âbut nearly all of it is still sitting there idle. Only an estimated $500 million, or 0.06% of Muskâs vast fortune, has ever been disbursed to those in need.
His lack of giving raises a question: What would our billionaires ranking look like if the worldâs most generous people had never donated a dollar to charity? https://t.co/La3nLACMYa
@Breaking911 Thatâs really alarming. Fires spreading that fast and covering that much land can get out of control quickly. Hope theyâre able to contain it soon and keep people safe.
@Entrepreneur Thatâs actually a great point. Tetris works because itâs simple on the surface but still engaging over time. It shows that you donât always need complexity to stay relevant, just something intuitive that people can keep coming back to.
This is really concerning. Urban development is clearly having a direct impact on wildlife like koalas. Situations like this show how important it is to balance expansion with proper habitat protection, or we risk losing species over time.
Que Pasa Tacos. Hole in the wall. 2280 Carling Avenue just west of Carlingwood Mall.
Started with chips and guac. Went with 3 chicken birria tacos. Good stuff. Lots of variety to choose from. Nice staff.
A view of downtown Ottawa in Springtime. Temps continue to run below normal with little chance of warmth in the forecast. Generally cloudy today (we can hope for breaks of sun) and a high of 11°. 40% chance of a shower. Wind NW 10-20 with higher gusts possible. â ïžSunday & 12°.
Welcome to May! Here are some fragrant Hyacinth blooms I spotted on my walk yesterday. With a cool pattern in place, Spring blooms of all kinds will last much longer. Cool it IS đ„¶right now. Temp is 1°. High 11° with sun then developing cloudy periods. Slight chance of a âïž.
This cost them about $1 trillion.
The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.
And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.
@DropSiteNews I knew it. I personally think thereâs nothing wrong with selling AI chips to China. We always sold tech globally but somehow with AI, the narrative was always fear driven. Looks like there was a lot of propaganda around it and I'm glad I didnât buy inâŠ
RFK Jr. says companies responsible for microplastic pollution should pay to clean it up, not taxpayers.
âThatâs a lesson we are all supposed to have learned in kindergarten.â
âYou clean up after yourself.â
âYou donât force the public to do it.â
Youâre Not Lazy. Youâre Fried.
Your brain needs idle time. Your body needs oxygen and hydration. Your creativity needs space.
These 3 books explain why rest is a strategy, not a weakness.

@ChinaSelect@deepseek_ai@Google@OpenAI@AnthropicAI You mean you spent almost a year creating export regulations around these chips, only to find out they were still able to extract from our AI models? Why does this committee still exist?
