I mean, if you can't trust criminals, who can you trust?!?

"Chromebook" sounded kind of cool.

"GoogleBook" just sounds odd.

So ... kind of like something that would happen at what was, or should be, a non-profit?

The headline may as well be "Rose maintains transactional relationships with tech media after all these years".

At this point I think if a good idea walked up and smacked him on the head, the name alone might doom it. It has been an also-ran in a confusing number of categories, so depending on your age you may remember it as a very different kind of failure than I do. Sort of the converse of trademark dilution - it is clear what the name is and who owns it, what's muddy is what the service is supposed to be.

Whelp, guess she's wrong! I mean students booed, so that settles it!

"at least that military is stopping a nuclear armed terrorist state from setting the worlds trade rules" Oh, they are? So the Strait of Hormuz is open again? Gee, I had no idea.

"What's true is that things get worse much quicker under one party than the other" Well then isn't that where the focus needs to lie, at least in the near term? "Meanwhile Republicans contest the results of elections where it's obvious they lost." Well there again, doesn't that put the focus more on one side than the other? It sure sounds like you're trying to avoid placing blame here.

The more competition in that space the better.

(And no, those wascally wepubwicans aren't at fault for my latest USPS package taking a leisurely loop-de-loop path through the country - if it ever even gets here, and doesn't join a back of the truck sale in Chicago. As with public schools, the problem isn't with any lack of dollars being thrown at it ... )

So when government took its thumb off the scales, the scales shifted? Okay.

EV Policy Timeline & Tracker

Government data has been bullshit since well before the mid 1990s when Clinton rejiggered the employment rate calculation.

I enjoy that a number of people are discovering that the government is generally full of shit. Of course, they still think it's JUST THAT GUY"S SIDE but eventually they may figure it out.

No, he concluded that in 2024 when his not-democratically-selected candidate, a correctly-colored woman whose political career began with blowjobs to a very powerful West Coast mayor - a last minute "fuck you" by Mr Biden to the party that abandoned him - got whomped by an odious, blowhard NY property developer whose multi-year vilification 2016-2020 turned him from a publicity-seeking opportunitist into a hardened "opponent to everything leftist", made fantastically easier by the lefts own purity-spiral politics, driving even moderate leftists and EVERY SINGLE US DEMOGRAPHIC ASIDE FROM WHITE WOMEN to swing their votes rightward.

This just gives him a chance to complain about it again.

You definitely need to step away from the things that use data centers (social media, chatbots ...).

Well, why not? It's mainstream now to dabble in sympathetic magic. "If I dress like and pretend to be that sort of person, then I am that sort of person! And everyone else HAS to agree!"

Honestly, cryptids seem rather mild by comparison.

Good luck on the June launch, and best wishes for a successful mission!

Never going to say that we can't optimize something better.

But let's get real - the engines have got insanely more capable. We can do things with just CSS now that it took reams of JS to do before, if you could even do them.

But -- we can do that because the browser engine is now capable of it.
