Then how do you charge the kid as an adult? If you treat the kid as a child it makes sense to me to look at the parents for negligence. But if you think the kid is legally responsible to be tried as an adult, how do the prosecutors also go after the parents?

So what do you do when you have stock in a private company while still working at it. I imagine if you are heavily compensated with equity you will take going public as an opportunity to offload and diversity.

I'm curious, why the simple syrup? I thought the basic Naked and Famous didn't include any. As I am was reading this I actually was attempting something adjacent, but spirit forward. A riff on a white negroni I like was Gin, Yellow Chartreuse, and Cocci Americano. I swapped the gin for mezcal because that's what I had on hand, and swapped the chartreuse for Faccia Bruto Centerbe because I didn't want to waste chartreuse on a first experiment. But like my Last Word riff with mezcal subbed in, so i gave it a try. Didn't work out, but adding a bit of Cocci di Torino vermouth balanced it out to a more drinkable place. Cheers

I thought they already had that during working hours. I swear sometimes while I'm working on the east coast hours, my west coast colleagues signs on at 12PM EST and signs off of 530EST and aren't around to answer my 6:30 EST pings. Meanwhile I'm waking early for EU client calls, and handling 9PM meetings with Asia offices. So it goes. I don't think we can have it both ways where you can be remote working from anywhere yet not be on the hook to work hours during the defined operational times. I'm not working 9 to 9EST, and take long breaks mid day if I have evening meetings, but there are operational realities of needing to talk to people to get work done and those times need to be defined.

I agree. Google and double click were a trojan horse for a lot of print media orgs trying to do digital. What looked like the gift of added revenue cheaply made these news orgs completely dependent on Google. The news publishers became a cheap commodity for delivering ad space all flowing through Google.

The defense is free content. There's operating costs for running papers. And they usually aren't there to make a profit. So the combined income of subs and ad revenue need to cover the operational cost. If the content is free, then there's going to be lots of ads. But even in print news, there were a lot of ads. Some full page ads. Fun front page stories that continued on Section C page 5 which forced you to flip through more ads to find it. User experience needs to be cleaned in digital to not drive users away because of the ads, but they will necessarily have to be there if folks aren't paying for subscriptions.

If they won’t accept responsibility or accountability for the material they are serving and effectively endorsing then it’s only prudent for the users to protect themselves.

Who is the "they" in this. Google destroyed local news papers. All these smaller players can afford to do is open their sites up to google exchanges. It's a viscous cycle where the leaner your journalist team gets, the more you need click bait pages to drive ad views on those exchanges. I don't know what the solution to this looks like to raise journalistic standards and ensure they are funded, but I think that whatever it looks like will require readers to pay subscriptions and/or tolerate ads in their news.

The value of ad space includes things like viewability, interactivity, attribution. You can't make ads harder to see and easier to skip without lowering the value of the ads and what the site takes in. It's hard line to balance between maximizing value for your ad space and user experience.

They read, but only if posted on archive links with client side ad blockers to make sure the papers don't make a cent.

No submissions?

I just polished off my bottle of Power's Rye. But I feel like there's a good riff on a black Manhattan out there with Power's Rye, splash of Guinness, and, uh, Irish amaro?

So what stops my lemmy content from being used by Google to train ai?
