The 32 hr work week?
It is possible that some large companies are so inefficient that staff working
32 hours per week could get as much done as they now get done in 40 hours. But
that can't work for small businesses.
What could work is to offer employees the flexibility to work
four
10-hour days in a week.

Important lesson from history
*Everyone
laughed at Hitler in the 1920s. A century on, are we making the same
mistake?*
If we Americans don't make sure the wrecker loses, and then block his supporters
from stealing the next election, we will never have another real election.

A reprotoxic PFAS' high rate of increase
Human
activity is increasing the concentration of one PFAS in drinking water by a
substantial amount each year. Finding out whether this is causing major damage
to humans is a question that will take
difficult
research, so it will be many years before we know whether we are causing a
disaster this way.

LLMs and web searches
Because LLMs are not real intelligence, using them as a basis for web
search is likely to lead to various bad results.
The article presumes that searching means "Google search", but for me
it is just the opposite: I can't access Google search at all. For me,
bizarre or inconvenient things that Google does to its search engine
are things I won't notice.
So let's not forget that people can use other search engines if they
get burned by Google's.

Drug use in private places
British Columbia has modified its experimental system of
decriminalizing some recreational drugs, limiting lawful use to
private places.
I oppose prohibition of drugs, but requiring drug use to be in private
places is not prohibition. I don't think it will cause the same great
harm that prohibition has caused.
