And then Apple takes 30% of it.

Apple thanks the developers, like a leech thanks it's host.

This is just IP theft on an industrial scale. The AI doesn't learn how to write code it just learns what the code does, this is a sort function, this is a search function, and where to find it. When a programmer says, I need a sort function here, Copilot goes and finds one. It doesn't write it from scratch it steals one from GitHub. I think of it as more like a database of pirated code snippets.

In my household, fitted sheets are the grand challenge of laundry folding.

The statistics come from the CDC and John Hopkins University. Here are the numbers.

As of May 4, 2022,
Covid deaths under Trump: 436,097
Covid deaths under Biden: 587,416

Stop living in your snowflake world.

You are just stupider that a first grader. Biden has been in office since Jan 20, 2021 when he was sworn in.

If the vaccines made no difference why is the CDC recommending that everyone over the age of 5 get one?

You are just too stupid to realize the facts when they are right in front of you.

I am done with you, cretin.

If you are unvaccinated, you have a 10x greater chance of dying from Covid.
So vaccination rates and deaths are not equivalent, they are highly correlated.

It is just a matter of counting, like you learn in first grade.

As of May 4, 2022,
Covid deaths under Trump: 436,097
Covid deaths under Biden: 587,416

Trump lost and 600,000 more people died.

Most of these death occurred during the Biden administration. And he had the vaccines.

Managers always push deadlines over quality. "Good enough" is usually the standard by which software is considered ready to be released. Deadlines means time and money, never considering the any of the future costs of bug fixes. It is not that programmers don't care, it is that they are not given the time to do it properly. Deadlines you know.

Let me get this straight, Amazon is claiming that states have no right to "mandate safety protocols or to regulate claims that a worker was retaliated against (whistleblower statues)" Really Amazon? Really?

I don't know how Apple's and Google's policy of only allowing app from their exclusive app store is even legal from an anti-trust point to view. If I was in the justice department, I would have been all over them.

I see San Francisco has found a way to rid itself of its homeless problem.

I was thinking along the lines of

Batch - you write a check and it comes out of your checking account that night
Continuous - you pay with a debit card and it get deducted from your account while you are standing at the checkout.
Ubiquitous - you never stop at the checkout counter but walk out with your groceries and the scanner on the door totals you purchases and transfers your bitcoin using Apple Pay.

We have gone from batch job computing to real time (continuous) computing. The next phase will be ubiquitous computing. We already have it today in some domains. Think about the computer in your car or autopilot on a plane. Ubiquitous computing is going to expand and touch every facet of our lives.
