Mammalians Nurturable definitely seems like the choice when considering that it will realistically be your entire life. MDR is a pretty basic desk job, which is pretty good if you get to go home later, but not so good if it's all you'll ever do.

Optics and Design is another strong one. Like MN, you've got a large peer group, so hopefully you can find somebody whose company you enjoy. Plus, the job has you working with stuff that changes from day to day, unlike MDR where you just do the same thing for endless hours.

It appears that the complicated nature of newspaper publishing is a confusing factor here. The Sun-Times did not generate/"write" this piece at all. It was written completely externally to the Sun-Times by a separate entity, King Features Syndicate. The CST incorrectly assumed that King Features or its owner, Hearst Magazines, would have their editorial teams vet the material they authored/"authored" before publication. Since this is self-evidently wrong, the CST has changed its policy and now editorial staff will have final approval over externally-authored pieces, which they did not have before.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. The journalists and editorial staff at the Chicago Sun-Times aren't media enterprises, they are human persons. I'm not asking you to imagine yourself as a corporation, I'm asking you to imagine that you are a person. If you were a person and your boss did something bad without your knowledge or consent, are you, a person, to blame for your boss' actions?

Well then you are lost. "Fuck the people in charge who did this and fuck their workers who had nothing to do with it." If your boss sucks, should I blame you for their mistakes?

It's worth knowing that this was in some kind of externally-authored, paid advertising insert. It's a bad look regardless, but this isn't AI writing the news, but AI writing the ads in-between the news.

It reflects poorly on the Sun-Times as a business, but shouldn't directly affect your feelings about their journalism and editorial staff, who weren't responsible for this.

My name was perfectly fine until big pharma stole it and sold it back to me: Ex-Lax.

You seem like you might like osgameclones.com. It's absolutely massive because it includes projects even if they're unfinished or abandoned, but you can sort by playability, development status, even programming language if you're looking to contribute.

This beats the approximations used in ancient Sumer (3.1065) and China (3). Try contacting their respective records bodies.

They compromised the official Instagram account then phished its followers for their NFTs.

The attacker seized control of the BAYC Instagram account and sent a phishing post that many followers were fooled into clicking on, connecting their crypto wallets to the hacker’s “smart contract” – a mechanism for implementing a crypto transaction. That enabled the attacker to steal the assets held in the wallets, seizing control of four Bored Apes, as well as a host of other NFTs with an estimated total value of $3m.

If it helps, the science of phone screens disrupting sleep patterns is sketchy at best.

To test the theory, BYU psychology professor Chad Jensen and researchers from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center compared the sleep outcomes of individuals in three categories: those who used their phone at night with the Night Shift function turned on, those who used their phone at night without Night Shift and those who did not use a smartphone before bed at all.

“In the whole sample, there were no differences across the three groups,” Jensen said. “Night Shift is not superior to using your phone without Night Shift or even using no phone at all.”

Is it possible to require a passkey for login, or is it currently an alternative to the traditional user name and password login? If not, is that a future goal? I've never used passkeys, just trying to understand the end goal, presumably you want to replace username and password with passkeys eventually, otherwise you're not really making login more secure.
