Comment Installed, and disabled Google Maps (Score 2) 24

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.

Exactly, a passport is insufficient as an actual ID as DLs are used today for a number of reasons

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.

ID.me is also a private entity which makes it a total non-starter for an actual national level usage.

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.

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.
