Google moving the deadline up and saying "because our own quantum tech is progressing faster than we thought"* sounds like using one of their branches to spin another.

I wonder how this is different from....child actors and actresses? Child beauty pageants? Etc. Plenty of parents financially benefit in some way from their kids. Could, or should, Macaulay Culkin be able to get Home Alone taken down? I don't know.

I'm all in favor of allowing now-adults to clean the slate. I think your philosophy is a good one, and it's one I try to follow.

A guy I know has a troubled kid. He posted so many intimate details of that kid's life from birth through age about 15--everything from daily happenings, getting in trouble at school, what special needs camps the kid was attending, how upset he and his wife as parents were, what kind of events triggered the kid to have meltdowns, etc. He was also a paid blogger for GeekDad and way overshared there too. I was always appalled, but it took the kid basically telling the dad to fuck off and stop broadcasting all the details of the kid's life before anything changed.

Some (most?) people just cannot handle social media.

so will Mila Mozilla.

What about the Strait of Hormoooz?

What, you give male aliens a mulligan?

The proletariat won't rise up. You need a very different demographic situation for an uprising - lots and lots of young people.

Like they did in North Korea? Oh, wait, they didn't.

I'm also a happy Apple One subscriber. I will have to check it out again. Thanks!

It is a criminal enterprise that rules over a seriously large country. Even the significantly smaller Cuba managed to survive for decades despite an embargo. Iran is more developed and industrialised. And yes, the guys with guns decide the the direction the country will take, since in Iran they are the actual elite.

I am well aware, but "vranyo" is not vulgar at all, hence "bullshit", as a faecal word, is inherently more vulgar, even in a society where the word "cunt" can be used as a stand-in for "buddy".

Apple Maps was truly bad for many years. I switched from Google Maps maybe about 5 years ago. I try out Waze and Google Maps again every now and then, but at this point I generally prefer Apple Maps. I rarely find any large routing differences. In my neighborhood, Apple Maps is actually more correct. I've submitted a correction to Google Maps probably a dozen times (over more than a decade) for a road listing that is just totally wrong, and it's never changed. I submitted it to Apple and it was fixed within about 3-4 months.

Someone who actually uses News?! I think I clicked into it about twice before I uninstalled it and never looked back. Is it of any value??
