I think it looks ok from a distance. But up close it looks like a prop from the set of a Back to the Future remake.

It wasn’t so long ago that sleazy business types and serial entrepreneurs convinced the media that everything needed to be in the blockchain. Once that fizzled, everything needed to have AI. This too will settle, and the tech will keep trucking along.

I say this as someone who is a regular user of TikTok and enjoys it: I don't see why something with the same intent wasn't presented years ago on the grounds of reciprocity. US social media applications have been banned in China for over a decade, so why should Chinese applications be able to flourish in the US?

I don't see why you would look at the Chinese government oppressing their people and hampering their economy with strict internet censorship and think that the US should reciprocate so that Americans, too, can enjoy the immense benefits of oppression and hampering the economy with strict internet censorship.

Simply because it was not in the interests of enough of the ruling class to do so. Profit is always the top priority. Nothing short of preparation for war could motivate the ruling class to uproot profitable relationships. It has taken a lot of time and catastrophe to move industrial dependencies away from China to competing 3rd world countries. The conflict in Gaza on top of the conflict in Ukraine makes for another tipping point at which the US ruling class has enough interest in risking near-term profit loss to consolidate power for the long term that this bill makes sense.

And if it’s not kids it’ll be something else. My mom passed away a few years ago and she commented how she regretted spending so much time doing “outdoorsy” stuff with my stepdad, and wish she’d had spent more time shopping. When you know it’s the end and your options are gone, you’ll always lament what could have been.

I also found that an odd statement. If you need a “why” analysts may not feel confident about Apple’s ability to deliver when it comes to AI, look no further than Siri and Apple Maps.

I'll grant you Siri, of course, but why Apple Maps? From my use, it should be held as an example of how Apple can convert a bad launch into a good product.

I find it interesting 'analysts' are looking at Apple's product rather than user sentiment.

If you are only looking at objective metrics, Apple is always going to perform at B and C levels.

If you are looking at fanaticism, they are A++.

I’m not even kidding when I say ChatGPT could produce a better list of goals for Google.

That's because they used Bard to write it!

Could be! I tried asking ChatGPT to rewrite them but it came out even worse.

> Modern browsers, believing they are being clever, hide the protocol in the URL bar.

Not all, thankfully. Safari doesn't do this.

Wasn't safari the first browser to "simplify" the URL?

System16 is correct; you can select a part of the domain, and Safari will not alter it when you copy the string to the clipboard.

Disney's trend of tossing in a BIPOC LGBT equivalent of "Poochie" in everything they've made in the last few years is the worst kind of pandering. It took audiences speaking with their wallets for Disney to acknowledge this, but i's going to take more than a few words from Iger to instil confidence. There will have to be a shake up at Disney and with their partners, and I would expect Kathleen Kennedy to be pretty high up on the hit list.

Who said this replaces PTO?

Not OP but I entered “real estate” and got an ear with hearing aid, a terminal, a bug with a play button, and a bowl of soup with steam.
