Yeah?! What about the pencil sharpener!?!

As an anti-racist with a geography degree, this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Walk into any classroom on earth and chances are good they won't have the mercator projection on the wall, they'll have something better representative of area, often a Robinson projection.

Ok, I'm tempted. Not enough to preorder, but if the reviews are good enough I might go for this.

This reminds me of a case where a British court and an American court each ordered litigants not to litigate a case in the other's court.This was in law school decades ago and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's the same kind of issue where if you want to do business in either country you can get easily screwed.

With books, like music, becoming more and more of a digital thing and no physical presence, the whole culture of reading is dying off. Teens aren't seeing other teens read (no books in hands), there's few bookstores around to hang out in to discover the books and with most information online there's no need to go to a physical library.

Schools can only do so much to force reading with assignments. Without building the habit of reading books for pleasure outside of school there's no way to turn this around.

Fun fact, Ackman is a hardline Trump supporter who helped get him elected.

" suffering a brain hemorrhage that would render her unable to move, speak or see,"

And they went with sight in the headline? Being unable to move is waaaaay worse.

Anyway, I feel bad for her and him (though he's a right-wing nutjob who has used his wealth to help drag down American society).

The US produces more manufacturing output than every other country on earth other than China.

haha from the company you have to buy an expensive adapter to use a 3.5mm jack or bluetooth... Sonos was always a scam.

Full blown dog whistling racism that has nothing to do with 15 years old liberal standards, it's just "I don't like brown people" with a veil of prose... Fuck DHH.

So instead of having a one person chat window on one pc talking to an agent in the cloud... you did the natural thing and put the chat window into the cloud with the agent so anybody could chat with it.

This is not revolutionary. I question if it's even that evolutionary as it's something that probably should've been that way from the start.

The REAL problem here is you're going to make the code more and more complex as more ideas get introduced. I'm the majority coder on 2 systems that I'm responsible for and I'm already starting to lose track of fine details as I've been ordered to add features at faster rates and interfacing with different APIs and subsystems that I don't have time to fully learn and rely on the AI to generate the code for and now have to go back to the AI and ask it to summarize certain code paths that I "wrote" and, at the time, that I stepped through and verified worked (along with unit tests). But because I didn't, personally, write the line, let alone structure it (even though I guided the design) it's not seared into my memory compared to if I had.

The further this goes on, the more this is not a program I'm intimately involved with... but a database of functionality that I need an AI to query... let alone update features for.

I don't think this is a good thing.

You are entirely correct. I took another look at what the law actually required and I am definitely crying wolf (at this point). Thanks for taking the time to point this out to me.

There is definitely a slippery slope there, but I agree with you, California is far enough away from the event horizon of that slope that my histrionics are not warranted. Not only that, but the carve out for Linux actually is helpful. Thanks once again.

Yeah, the products were better under Cook.
