I'm building a tool that helps small volunteer orgs. manage their property/facility. Something to replace the filing cabinet, text threads and email inboxes that get lost when your volunteer treasurer or retired admin moves on. Specifically building for my wife and I to take care of our house and for our small church who manages a building. The idea is you take a picture of the plumbers invoice, forward the insurance policy, or write down the last time the roof was inspected all in one place. Most CMMS are too heavy for a small org. and having "that one guy" setup a process is too brittle. https://www.myplacekeeper.com/

Ive spent hundreds of hours reading aloud to my kids. It's a big investment but I believe it's almost certain you'll stumble upon something that will catch their attention. It's also about family culture - if you establish the habit of reading at a certain time of day (we do it after dinner / before bed) then it's easy to stick with that over turning to other things to fill the time.

I spent hundreds of hours as a kid building small games like this with Klik n Play, then Klick and Create, which turned into The Games Factory and now lives on as Clickteam Fusion! It had a simple image editor and event based programming system that was accessible to a kid and still pretty sophisticated. Huge influence on my later programming career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickteam

Honest question, but don't we still lack the denominator of the ratio:

  (people that have covid and end up in the hospital) / (those who have covid)
?

Instead, we're looking at the ratio:

  (vaccinated people who have covid and go to the hospital) / (unvaccinated people who have covid and go to the hospital)
But, those are different types of information.

[it is] essential to a child's development to be part of a social classroom experience

2nd generation homeschooler here. Of the hundreds of home school families I've known over the last 30-ish years I don't know any that don't have their children take classes together in some form or another.

The question is how much do children need to be in a "social classroom experience."

One set of complaints comes from Brave Software Inc., maker of a privacy-focused web browser, where Google’s Mr. Temkin was chief product officer until last summer.

David Temkin, the Google product manager leading the change, said in a blog post Wednesday.

Hey David, if you're on here, how many millions did Google give you to switch?
