I think your response can be said of any application made before now.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) gives parents control over what information websites can collect from their kids. [https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/privacy-security/child...]. It requires explicit consent from the parents by entering a credit card as a form of ID or a video chat where the web platform confirms the adult is the parent or guardian

More like a little red cart on wheels pulled on a handle.

Reminds me of a short story by Neil Stephenson, where they hook up an AI as a car alarm.

Should a persons worldview dictate whether or not they perform a service? For example making a wedding cake for a same sex marriage? Perhaps this more nuanced.

I bought Dell business laptops from Amazon and they lasted less than a year. Motherboards died. I assumed the seller was dumping them. He probably knew better and could get a buck off them.

The Gmail domain will deliver email to an email address regardless of periods in the username. My email address is first name period middle initial period last name. I can a period between any letter, all letters or none and I can still receive it.

Perhaps the size of the company could dictate the size and scope of work. With a small company, one person would bear responsibility for everything. Whereas within a larger corporation, the responsibility is spread amongst a cohort of people who then can focus on a subset of skills.

Chrome has a log in screen like windows and Mac. You can login and out between google accounts like a gmail.com or a k12 account. Similarly but not the same— there is a second “add account” after logged in. This secondary account does allows access email but not override them, bookmarks, etc

GoGuardian is an extension tied to the user and installed at login. This extension only runs on chromebooks and does not know which device is owned by who.

Goguardian is an chrome extension that is installed by a policy configuration of the district. It only works on chrome divides and not the chrome browser.

I work in a school district where we had all the schools on a single network. Each of the principals used a Apple TV as a presentation device. All 12 or more were in the drop down airplay menu

I am on my fourth rewrite on my in house web application. I am using ruby’s Sinatra with react as the front end. Including graphql in my front end and back end was easy. Querying the api was made easier with the “GraphiQL” app

I think Facebook and Google have TOS agreements that state a user has to be above the age of 13/14. If you stated your age on Google+ as younger, Google disabled your account.
