And, right there, you find the real reason so many manufacturers are no longer offering CarPlay and Android Auto.

If you use either of those third-party services, you'll find you don't have much need for the manufacturer-provided network connection, GPS maps, road condition reports, local speed limit info, etc. etc.

... how keeping my ass warm requires an Internet connection.

Maybe Ananias and Sapphira were in their 90s when they sold their house and just dropped dead anyway

... my rabbit ears when you pry them out of my cold, dead hands.

Given the title says to "say hello to GoogleSQL", it's obvious their intent was to interact with it via the DBI module in perl.

I think they are complaining that AI might be highly effective, but I think the risk is that AI proves to be broadly ineffective and it's been a waste of so much resource.

Inflation is the drain on the nation. The reason for all of these 1 Trillion dollar companies is that there are all of these money created by the various governments and banks propped up by government entities, all of the bail outs, money printing, quantitative easing (money printing), etc., all of it is inflation, i.e. expansion of the money supply. Much of it is driven by the pathetically low interest rates, manipulated by the government over the last few decades (as the governments got off the gold), all of it means simply that prices for things (including stock valuations) go up, none of it is increase in any actual productivity, all of it is bad for the world and global economies no matter what the likes of Paul Krugmans and other Keynesian charlatans are telling you.

Basically a trillion dollars is not what it used to be, it used to be inconceivable, now it is just another Tuesday.
