I sometimes wonder what Larson's childhood was like.

Despite Black families experiencing the largest growth in median net wealth — a 60% bump from 2019 — their 2022 levels remained the lowest among all other racial or ethnic groups, and they also saw incomes falter.

The 37% rise in net worth, which was more than double the next-largest upswing on record, was largely fueled by asset growth — specifically home values and stock market gains that far exceeded consumer price inflation, Fed researchers said.

Figured_ I would add a bit more context to your argument. You can't gain in net wealth if you have nothing to gain with. Emphasis in above quote is mine.

Yrs ago this would have (foolishly) increased my trust in the companies, but I've long since learned that companies building a "coalition" doesn't mean squat unless it's actually utilized to create positive change.

Because Windows 11's primary new feature is SOC level DRM.

Can you please what this means in idiot proof terms?

I love doing this as an adult; tho not a tidal wave. The motion of the water gives a mild sensory deprivation affect for a second.

Tho it doesn't have any pharmacies listed right now, those site will hopefully soon list where novavax can be acquired. https://us.novavaxcovidvaccine.com/

Such a load a' croc.

 

It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

 

Tainted CPAP machines and ventilators went to children, the elderly and at least 700,000 veterans despite internal warnings. Company insiders said the devices posed an “unacceptable” risk.

I wish I had never gotten rid of all my dvds

Thank you for the reminder!

How is a novice to tell?

 

I'm speaking of online data harvested through apps, websites, hardware (such as phones/streaming devices).

I mean if multiple versions of the same harvested data are being sold, wouldn't the value decrease because of the competition? When it comes to aggregate data, how much financial value can there really be in knowing that a million office workers just clicked on the same cat meme?

How does the quantity of time and expense toward "personalization" not simply overshadow the return, given that no one can click on even a small percentage of those numerous ads, let alone buy the shit being advertised?

It just seems like there would come a time when the value of user data is sucked dry, or at least significantly decreased.
