This ban (or attempt to regulate), similar to Australia's, is at least 10-15 years too late to be honest. It likely would have stopped or lessened the negative impact of FB (and its ilk, but mostly FB, tbh) on much of the society.
Now we know, of course, and everything in hindsight is 20/20.
It's STILL worth trying to regulate social media, now emboldened and firmly established as a rite of passage among youth, adults, and older generations.

The bulk of investment has been funnelled to just 10 AI groups — Perplexity, Anysphere, Scale AI, Safe Superintelligence, Thinking Machines Lab, Figure AI, Databricks, as well as OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI. That has pushed up their combined valuations by almost $1tn, according to FT calculations.
“Of course there’s a bubble,” said Hemant Taneja, chief executive of venture capital firm General Catalyst, which raised an $8bn fund last year and has backed Anthropic and Mistral. “Bubbles are good. Bubbles align capital and talent in a new trend, and that creates some carnage but it also creates enduring, new businesses that change the world.”

Must every (major) technological change result in financial bubbles??
Yes, the US Mint sells all of the coins in the American Innovation set to the public. Previous years’ coins can still be bought if they are not sold out.
Not an American but I wouldn't mind having some of these. Actually, coin collecting is a pretty neat hobby, especially for commemorative coins which depict a story like these. I wouldn't go in it for their possible future financial value though.
I used to be a coin-collector as a kid. Kinda outgrew the hobby as I grew older. But I still love new/old/unusual coins (among other things). I think I might get my hands on some of these.
This is one of those races... where EVERYONE wants to be above average -- like Wobegone, and speed thru airport security (theater) with TSA, Clear, what-have-you -- resulting in the only Nash equilibrium possible: even longer queues for both TSA, Clear, etc.
Exhibit A: the airline boarding process itself, which extends from Pre-Boarding, Special Needs, Families with Children, Vets, No-Vets, Everyone's mothers-and-grandmothers, Group A, B, C, D, E, F...
Another Doug Hofstadter book! This is so cool. Ambigrams have been one of my fav "things" since I saw them in the GEB book ages ago.
FWIW, "Angels and Demons" bestseller thriller (?) has a few ambigram puzzles that the protagonist Robert Langdon solves to get to the mystery of the Rosslyn chapel (my memory may be fading here)

Thanks for this set of amazing fonts! They look amazing. Very glyph-y. And they tickle my inner geek.
