But privacy and data protection has become one of the main selling points for Apple in the last decade or so. They tried to bridge the gap with their "Privat Cloud Compute" approach, but this is so complex and hard to understand (and to implement) that nobody will really care, they will just see "all my data will be processed in the Cloud just as Google does it" and that's it.
From the summary, it seems Apple is asking them to train a model that will run on Apple's private servers, thus maintaining privacy.

Don't most disk formats have basically just native performance? What can you do wrong to degrade the performance?
As can be seen in this table (from the FA), ASIF is considerably faster than the current UDRW.

It is worth noting even the easiest puzzles here are puzzles which many, if not most humans, cannot solve.
At one point they gave it the algorithm and it still failed. My guess is that the large majority of humans could do it if you showed them how.

Two russian assets combined - great syngery.
I'm pretty sure Musk is South African. Still, it is an odd pairing.
A Russian asset does not mean he's Russian, it's a claim that he's an asset used by Russia.

The George Foreman grill is called the George Foreman grill specifically because it didn't even catch on as a concept until it had its namesake celebrity endorser. What did an electric countertop grill have do to with boxing? Absolutely nothing, but Foreman was a charismatic spokesman and it didn't hurt that the grill actually did what it says on the side of the box.
During his boxing career Foreman often talked about how much he loved to eat, typically two steaks or "two Big Macs at a time." The grill was a natural fit.

The inability to edit posts is an intentional design decision, not due to lack of caring or skill. The problems with being able to edit a post after someone has moderated it or replied to it should be obvious to everyone here.
A brief window of time for editing an unmoderated and reply-free post might be a reasonable compromise.

They could have ALLOWED for external payments, but they could have required that apps provide the option of paying via the Apple store.
There was only one voice of sanity there - Phil Schiller has long been advocating for changes like that, but Apple loved that huge cut and was blinded to reality by its allure. They're paying the price now. One of their execs just might even see some jail time for perjury.

The ol' "we have to send cease and desist letters!" is bogus. The law requires you to defend your (silly) trademark. It does not require that response to be cease-and-desist letters or even lawyers at all.
For example?

One way to analyze a measure like tariffs is to see who will benefit.
For each of Trump's actions and statements, Asking "does it benefit the US?" is often debatable. Asking "Does it benefit Russia?" is easier. It's always Yes.

If the system can call first downs, it can surely call touchdowns. Also, it would seem to eliminate challenges to either.
It measures the ball after the spot, not during play. So if they spot the ball in the end zone then yes, it can call touchdowns.
