Your comment is condescending against OP's parenting style.
It is difficult to control how your child perceives phones, as managing their exposure to them is impossible, especially when taking your child outside where they'll see people using them in public. They may also visit a friend whose parents let them use a phone, so again, it's an uphill battle.
I wouldn't call it condescending but yes, I dispute the fact that "well it's how it is. Nothing parents can do." I have no problem expressing judgment or opinion on how others raise their kids.
My 8 year old has never used a tablet. He thinks phones are just to call people. He just knows that people use them for dumb things just because they can't bare to be alone with their thoughts for 2min.
Yes it is a "battle" and it requires time and effort. It's not impossible. Uphill battle for sure, one that I will probably lose, but still worth fighting.
It works now. It's a nice little tool. Would be great to have the ability to test the cost of a response as well, and optionally combine the costs of the input/output.
Finally, actual information about what’s going down at Twitter.
> And so that’s definitely a direction we’re going to go in, enabling people on Twitter to be able to send money anywhere in the world instantly and in real time.
This sounds like a great idea to me. UPI(1) has worked wonders in India, and is providing a pretty similar service.
> Then you attach a debit card to the Twitter account so that you have backward compatibility into the payments system because not everyone will accept Twitter.
That makes sense, and if the UX will be similar to that of Apple Pay/Google Pay, I imagine it would actually be able to acquire new users (and not just people ready to jump into a “whole new way of paying”)
> Basically, if you can show up in an office and you do not show up at the office, resignation accepted. End of story.
I hate this for obvious reasons.
It will be interesting to follow Twitter for the next year. The whole “Twitter as a Tik-Tok-like platform” idea _could_ work, if the main focus is to compete with YouTube’s creator platform. It’s a much more feasible idea than the payments one (at Twitter’s current state).
