It is surprising to me that none of the major platforms have actual _parental control_ features so that we can limit the amount of time that our parents can spend online, and which apps they’re allowed to use. I don’t worry about my teenager’s use of the internet at all, just my octogenarian dad’s.

Thought for the day. Iteration in vibe coding should not be about trying to modify what it gives you, but modifying what you give it. The code is the product. If it isn't right, bin it, respec, rerun

What about a tariff on foreign investment in the US, say if any profits made or assets newly purchased of Foreign index funds, or shares in Nestlé etc be taxed equally to everything else.
Surely if you want to prevent your citizens spending money in other countries, that's the biggest slice
