Pixel phones reportedly getting highly anticipated battery charging limit feature
Is there any evidence that this really matters on top of the protections and limits that are already built in and obscured from the user? There's such a cult around this feature, but I'm not convinced.

Parents with bilingual children, how did you do it?
Not a parent, but I was raised bilingually in English and German, while growing up in Germany.
My Dad (almost) always speaks English with me, and my Mom (almost) always speaks German with me, even to this day at age 31. This approach worked well for us and I'm fluent in both languages, but I can imagine an approach where both parents speak both languages could work as well.
What also really helped me was to consume a lot of media in English, so maybe you could encourage your child to do that as well.

Discussions are like a game of telephone; you're converting idea into language and expecting the recipient to flawlessly translate it back into an idea.
There's also the difference between what you think the words you say mean and what they understand from your words.

I don't know about La Guardia but Heathrow is definitely at its capacity limit due to only having two runways.

After a death, do you delete the contact? Or let it sit in address book?
Keep it. I still have my uncle on Steam over 8 years later.

I don't think so, my point was that there's not only uncertainty in converting the idea to language and language back to an idea, but there's also uncertainty when transferring language from one person to another.

Absolut richtig. Allerdings scheinen ja sehr viele AfD-Wähler und andere rechte Menschen tatsächlich davon überzeugt zu sein, dass die Ampel an allem Schuld ist.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
This is fascinating and very sad at the same time. I'm curious to see how reading is taught here in Germany once we have a school-aged kid.
One thing that sticks out to me is that apparently, teachers in the US tend to stick very close to the teaching materials they are provided (at least, that's how it sounds in this article and others I have read before). Growing up in Germany, it felt like teachers would customize their lessons more.
