That's interesting data and it isn't really a surprise that California and Hawaii would be at the bottom of the list.  I wonder though how those places with the highest income pocketing translate for a young couple getting started today.  Do places like South Dakota and Iowa have opportunity for transplants, or strong data all from established people running on family momentum?

The good news is that they are getting found and people could patch up their systems.

Some years ago I was looking at an "internet in a box" setup for this  small village school in Nepal that my family has supported over the years.  Back then there wasn't much available.  This actually seems perfect for that type of need.

"Protecting the children"

VPNs are used to do harm, but they are also used to safeguard freedoms.  I'm not sure what the answer is on this one.  I also wonder if they can actually close the loophole for those who are using VPNs for harm, or of these laws will just hurt people who have reasons to protect their privacy.

Which AI apocalypse are we more worried about; the one that destroys the jobs or the one that destroys humanity?  I suppose they could the same event in different stages.  I am baffled how so very few are even thinking about the changes about to occur when so much (at best) disruptive change is coming.  I don't think our current economic and political systems will survive what's coming.  We need to think hard about what world we are going to have when AI makes human labor close to irrelevant.  One thing that doesn't seem to get much thought is that the resources going to AI are already causing supply pressures on human consumption (energy, water, material resources).

I like the aesthetic of that site quite a bit too.

Would you come here right now?  I hope they didn't spend too much on that FIFA prize.

Traffic / Re: Yahoo Slurp Crawling Again?

I don't think it's crawling in earnest.

Yahoo does claim it's still alive though.

Thanks for the joke highlights.  That was good.  He's quite witty.  I've been meaning to listen to his full speech.

Crazy how much we are getting close to a terminator scenario on 2026.

And now we have the Epstein situation with basically zero justice within the USA.  Apparently, laws are for the 99% in this country.

Yes she did, and there were people back then that also did far worse than her but got completely away with it.  I think she was prosecuted because she was a high profile woman who wasn't very politically powerful.

The Brave adblock is is excellent imo.  I am using it as a YouTube app on my phone and it makes the experience much nicer.

No, Rpi is arm architecture and my project is x86.  The rpiOS is pretty good and hard to beat though.  They do some tricks to make Linux run better on that platform.  It is really pretty good stuff. My one gripe is that they try to idiot proof it and in doing so one has to work a little harder to customize it.
