He's worried that people who support him might notice how he's fucking up, so he's employing a distraction. He's not very smart so this is the best he can do, but his followers are even less so, so this works.

Google Maps displays incorrect names for geographical locations.

And then you still have to force it to stop after disabling it, because disable doesn't mean disable to Google. If they don't actually quit the app, how will they continue to steal your location data?

Oh yeah, from play services.

We've gotten to the point where phone makers shouldn't be allowed to bundle any apps with the phone. Gross.

When you use that many italics to emphasize words it's a good sign you need psychiatric help.

The kernel is not the operating system, only part of it. As long as Google is keeping parts of their system closed it makes legal sense to subject them to the requirement. As long as they are putting a lot into play services...

Using passport as national ID is common and you could have just googled it to find out like I did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The passport is more than sufficient as an actual ID. It is sufficient for ID in all situations. The Driver's License verifies the right to drive, and the ID at the state level. It's the driver's license which is insufficient as an ID, not the passport. The passport always verifies identity.

Welcome to capitalism.

The USA has national ID, it's called a passport. (Real ID was supposed to be a national ID, but it's been watered down so that it effectively isn't one.) The passport or passport card is the gold standard of ID because it verifies both nationality and citizenship.

The USA also has national online ID verification, it's called ID.me. It's shit, but it exists.

If that were a roadblock to creative legal reinterpretation, the US would still be following a 1790s-1960s interpretation of the 2nd amendment today.

More like 'neutral', Cursor is by no means the only path to vibe code and OpenAI's models are by no means the only models (in fact, generally viewed poorly in those circles). So OpenAI making it harder for Cursor users won't make a dent in the general scheme of things.

From an economic standpoint, you absolutely have to count training as a facet. If everyone cuts back on scale up, then nvidia, memory vendors, and various other players in that space take a hit. Maybe a troubled AI company can cut out its capex by pausing training, but the downstream impact still is in the broader market.

But even the capex exposure may be hard to shake, given how much debt and purchasing commitments are in play.

Google pulls out of China rather than help China crack down on dissidents and then... they do this kind of shit.

All they showed is that the only kind of fascist regime they want to cooperate with is home grown and white supremacist.

That and the price per op, which was alone enough to make it a flop.

Redhat will be subject to this requirement because their license places additional restrictions on the GPL and they are therefore in violation and have no right to use the code covered by that license

Girl scout cookies are made with child slave labor palm oil and chocolate. Nothing makes more sense than that they get funding from the baby killing industry.
